Zones & Areas
The world is a grid of zones, each split into areas you travel between with the N/S/E/W controls. Every area carries its own theme, enemies and battlefield layout. Examples of biomes you'll cross:
Ruined elven halls — the realm's beating, war-torn heart.
Corrupted high ground where the shadow leaks through.
Rare refuges of starlight where Wayfinders regroup.
Items & Gear
Gear fills a full paperdoll — head, neck, shoulders, back, chest, hands, waist, legs, feet, two rings, a trinket, and main/off hands. Two-handed weapons lock the off-hand. Consumables restore vitals or grant timed buffs. Try equipping items in the simulator below:
