The Story

Long ago the prodigy mage Shuland Acrein shattered the Ipinidas Rune, the source of all elven magic, and became the Dark Lord. With a weapon forged from its fragment he tore open rifts between dimensions and summoned the Sahar to conquer the world. Twenty-two archmages sealed him away, but his dying curse took their magic forever, and they learned to fight with the mysterious power of tarot cards instead.

Now the leaderless Sahar roam free. From the small fortress of Terminus on the slopes of the Spine Mountains, expeditions of Humans, Elves and Hybrids set out to recover the scattered fragments of the Rune. You are one of them.

Three Races, Six Classes, Many Paths

• Humans: Fighter and Mage
  
• Elves: Ranger and Shaman
  
• Hybrids: Warrior and Rogue

Every base class branches into two or three job paths with a second advancement each, from Knight, Templar and High Priest to Assassin, Elementalist and Champion.

The Power of the Tarot

A deck of 22 Major and 56 Minor Arcana sits at the heart of everything you do. Slot cards to unlock new powers, use them to enhance your gear, or open a fortune-telling stall and read other players' fortunes to grant them blessings.

Monster Transformation

Become the monsters you hunt. Transformation cards drop from monsters and sell at NPC shops: take on a creature's speed and three of its skills while keeping your own stats.

• Duels anywhere, with buffs for the winner.

A Living World
