About the Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

You are not the hero. You never were.

For decades, men sang of the Dark Lord’s fall and the triumph of the Light.
But every flame leaves ash… and from that ash, you have risen.
You are an Osteurgo — a low-born necromancer, a forgotten remnant of the defeated armies of darkness.
No master, no army, no purpose… until now.

Raise a new dominion among the desolate mountains.
Summon skeletons, wraiths, and obedient beasts, subjugate savage tribes, and drive out the humans who still believe the Light reigns.
Build, conquer, and defile, spreading your influence across a land where only the dead may thrive.

Between battles, listen to the whispers of your spectral advisors, decide the fate of your servants,
and delve into the forbidden art of necromancy to claim what was once denied to your kind:
the empty throne of the Dark Lord.
