Before you set out
Three steps to adventure
One account logs you in to both the website and the game.

In the game you log in with the same username and password as on the website.

First choice
Choose a faction
Three peoples, three stories – all of them equal.
Your faction decides whose side you fight on against the Ash King – and which secret you draw closer to. Playing with friends? Pick the same one!
Second choice
Choose your class
Great weapon and shield, dagger and bow, sword and dark sorcery, lightning and the blessing of the ancestors – the four starting heroes each play differently; the fifth class, the spear-wielding Dark Elf, unlocks after level 300.
