Discover the world
Set in a world constantly threatened by an ever-growing darkness, humanity clings to survival under the waning light of The Beacon. It has been keeping the forces of Umbra at bay for ages, but now, its light is fading away.
Adventurers had to set sail in search of hope, finally founding Dawnport, the first Settlement away from the city-state capital, Altaris.
Years later, the Settlement is full of life and eccentric personalities, each with its own story and tales to tell.
