About the Game

Lust for Power and the Sovereign Tree

Before the apocalypse, the Ancient Tree that breathed life into the continent maintained the balance of souls. People lived in peace under the canopy of this tree. However, one among them, with a desire for power and absolute dominion, stole the tree's secrets and learned to integrate the power of souls into their own essence. They grew stronger by massacring innocents and shattered the delicate balance of nature. The Tree responded to this betrayal with an apocalypse. It raised the waters to purify the world and initiate rebirth.

The Obelisk and the Sacred Faith

The Ancient Tree that brought the apocalypse has departed the physical world. All that remains of its legacy is Obelisk Island. The mysterious obelisk rising toward the sky in the heart of the island is the most sacred relic in the world. For you, it is not just a piece of rock but a holy symbol for which you fight.

Loyalty and Salvation

The Tree did not treat everyone the same while raising the waters. It set aside its followers who defended it at the cost of their lives. It carried them atop the waves, delivering them to the safe shores of Obelisk Island.

Bones and Agony

It was not only the tree's followers who washed ashore on the island. The bones of the soul thief's followers were also carried here by the waves. The Tree imprisoned these treacherous souls inside skeletons. These souls, driven mad by their longing for life, are filled with rage due to their unquenchable yearning.

You are the followers of the tree. The old world is submerged in water. Now, your only reality is to survive on this wild island and rebuild civilization.

  • A Massive World: Enter into a relentless struggle with hundreds of players for limited resources.

  • Throne Wars and Territory Dominance: Do not settle for just surviving and declare your leadership. Control settlements by seizing rival territories and take the support of sacred powers behind you with your structures around the Obelisk.

  • 17th Century Technology and Progression: Experience a sense of progression starting from primitive stone spears to gunpowder-powered musket rifles and heavy steel swords. Every new discovery will solidify your dominance on the island.

  • Wrath of the Restless Spirits: When you approach the treasures beneath the ground, the Cursed awaken from their sleep. Every inch of soil you dig will draw these life-hungry, maddened spirits directly upon you.
