Story Spoiler-free

A new Arisen in a new land, caught up in a struggle over who should rule the kingdom of Vermund.

Why it matters: A bigger, modern take on everything the first game did — and the easier one to start with.

How it connects: A new story in its own world. Familiar ideas (the Arisen, pawns, a dragon) return, but nothing carries over.

Open-world adventure with a party of pawns that learn from other players' journeys.
