The World Is Against You

Play a big-hearted Sword, chaotic Sorcerer, mischievous Sailor, devoted Vessel, wild-raised Wolfling, or fugitive Revenant—extraordinary adventurers in a hostile world ruled by gods and tyrants and inspired by ancient Mesopotamia.

A Single Kiss or Sword Stroke Can Change Everything

Everyone you meet has a heart you can win or fall for. Give and take hearts in an endless, messy exchange, while risking the condemnation of the world around you.

Ascend to a Glorious Destiny...

Seize immortal might to defeat your enemies in the city-state where you live or the trackless wilderness beyond—alive with gigantic creatures and the shadow of lost Atlantis.

...But Beware the Monster You May Become

More perilous than gods, kings or Death is your own terrible potential. As you rise to challenge the world, you risk becoming transformed by power.

Write Your Own Epic

Together with your friends, write an epic of broken hearts and glorious dooms. In a world where gods and rulers hate you, you may fight and even defeat them. What will it cost you?
