01 / THE GUIDE
Story and World
Verroa has been carefully rebuilt by Irving and the Eternal Order to protect it against a future war, but a new threat emerges from the neighboring Holy Asverellian Empire seeking new lands. The fragile nation becomes the stage for a desperate defense.
Gwyn and Riordian must navigate Verroa’s treacherous politics, forging alliances and confronting betrayals. Each decision can reshape future battles, making the narrative tightly linked to the player’s strategic choices.
- Track early alliance choices to see how they affect later encounters.
- Consider the political context when deciding which factions to support.

Turn‑Based Tactical Combat
Combat is turn‑based and tactical, centering on twenty heroes who each bring class abilities, passive effects, and gear into the fight. The system rewards thoughtful sequencing of actions and the use of each unit’s niche.
Battles often pit the party against overwhelming odds, encouraging players to experiment with skill combinations and unit synergies to overcome challenges.
- Test different ability orders to discover effective combos.
- Observe how enemy behavior changes after using area abilities.

Branching Classes and Customization
Your twenty heroes can access forty‑five branching classes, each offering its own abilities, passive effects, and tactical niche. This breadth allows a wide range of playstyles within a single campaign.
Skills, abilities, and gear can be combined, letting players dramatically alter how a unit performs and encouraging experimentation with unconventional builds.
- Combine abilities from different branches to explore hybrid roles.
- Watch how gear changes interact with class passives to alter a unit’s performance.

Alliance and Decision System
Verroa is divided among multiple factions, many of which are themselves fractured. Players must decide whom to support or abandon, with each choice directly influencing upcoming battles and story outcomes.
Because every decision can fundamentally change gameplay, weighing short‑term benefits against long‑term consequences is essential for shaping the war’s direction.
- Map faction relationships before making major choices.
- Re‑evaluate earlier decisions when new information becomes available.
