Balauria

What awaits you

A world that waits for you

Nothing happens while you look away that you cannot answer. Build, send armies and come back when you can — the world settles accounts in real time, with protection for beginners and shields after hard nights.

A hero of your own

Ten races, eighteen classes, each with its own edge: specializations, a skill tree, gear from the forge, professions and beasts tamed on the road.

Clans, wars and the fronts

Found a clan under one of thirty emblems, hold the fronts around the lair, declare wars, share a treasury — and watch the rankings turn.

The Balaur

An era is a race against the dawn: build, arm and ally while the Balaur sleeps, because when it wakes the era is decided by those who dare its lair. The slayers enter the Hall of Fame; the world is born anew.

Ten peoples of Balauria

• Veskari Highland clans who cut their homes into ash-veined cliffs. They count wealth in walls that have never fallen and in debts they have never forgotten.
• Thaleen River-and-salt people of the Hollow Coast who read the tides like ledgers. Every Thaleen is part fisher, part haggler, and never truly far from a boat.
• Drennai Wardens of the Blackwood who speak to their trees by name and to strangers rarely. Nothing walks under their canopy without a Drennai knowing.
• Cindrel Born in the glow of the Emberlands, the Cindrel carry coals in their veins and forge-songs in their throats. They grow restless when nothing is burning.
• Orrun Broad-shouldered herders of the Storm Highlands who ride beasts no one else can tame. They build slowly and move like weather.
• Quillari Feathered star-scribes from the observatory spires, who believe the sky keeps a record of every war. They study it to learn the ending in advance.
• Hollowen Pale folk of the Mistfen who strike quiet bargains with the dead. Their fallen are rarely gone for long, but the bargains are never free.
• Brasswrights Artificers who treat every problem as a machine not yet built. Their cities hiss and clank, and their siege engines arrive before their diplomats.
• Vaultari Keepers of the frozen vaults under the Crystal Wastes. A Vaultari stores everything, trusts no one, and loses very little.
• Wyrmkin Descendants of the few who survived Balaur's last waking, marked by faint scales and dreams of fire. Few are born in any age, and the dragon is said to remember each of them.

How an era goes

1. 1

   Settle and build

   Pick a race and a class, raise your capital, research in the Archive, trade at the market.

2. 2

   Raise hero, army and clan

   Clear the camps, tame companions, craft potions and gear, hold the fronts with your clan.

3. 3

   Slay the dragon

   When the Balaur wakes, only the strongest alliances reach its heart. Then a new era, a new world.
