From humble beginnings

Start with nothing but your name. Give it meaning.

Every player begins as a serf. The work you master, the people you trust and the responsibilities you take on shape who you become.

Titles mean something

Standing is more
than a level.

A knight is bound by service. A lord carries the duties of a household and its lands. A king depends on the allegiance of people who have their own ambitions.

There is no compulsory march from serf to king. A respected master craftsperson, prosperous merchant and sworn captain each have a life worth building.
