The five heroes side by sideGame characters
In the alpha

Your hero, your name

The choice is made at the campfire.

  • At the first start you choose a hero at the campfire. Every class exists as a hero and as a heroine.
  • More heroes will move into your sleeping hut later.
  • Your player name is not the name of your hero.
  • Fair in competition: in PvP all heroes start at level 1, gear only changes the look there. You only become permanently stronger in the ruins.
