By Crom

The drums beat, horns blow. It's time to dance a warrior's dance. Born into poverty, raised by ambition, your chance to forge your legend arrives. Will it be tragedy or triumph?

Journey across oceans and burning forests, camp beneath the stars, and find love. Immerse yourself in a land rich in religion and custom, yet scarred by fire and fury. Become scout, assassin, and warrior. Through wit and strength, rise as a hero. Debate with chieftains, duel champions, and witness the gods' judgment upon your people.

This text-based experience—without graphics or sound effects—is fueled by your imagination. Play as male or female; trans or cis; bi, straight, gay, or asexual. Find romance with a combat trainer, advisor, and member of clan royalty. Uncover betrayals and affairs, and reunite with lost family.

Accept bribes, and participate in deadly conspiracies, assassinations, and cover-ups. Be a hero to the innocent, or watch the world burn with gleeful abandon.
