As the newest recruit in the Hopeport town guard, you are looking to make a name for yourself. This soon turns out to be a more challenging role than you had anticipated, with a strange storm raging over the harbor and unrest from the local goblins.
You will discover powerful magic sources and become one of the legendary classes of old: Cryoknight, Guardian or Hammermage. Which is fortunate, because something is corrupting the deepest reaches of the nearby Hopeforest, and only through the strength of your new-found powers will you be able to deal with it.
Learn a diverse range of professions, such as Fisher, Forager, Chef.
Woodcutter, Miner, Alchemist
Stonemason, Merchant, Blacksmith, and many more!
Encounter a huge variety of fantastical foes over the course of your adventures.
