You are thrown into an ancient conflict as an apprentice mage: rival powers fight for dominance over the land of Muriet, and only one can prevail in the end. It comes down to your mage archetype, your chosen magic realm, your strategy.
Build flourishing settlements, research hundreds of arcane paths, and field armies in real-time battles. Every campaign plays differently. Every choice echoes through history.

Five pillars. One legend.





Choose your mage archetype and your magic realm — and shape a strategy that is entirely your own.
Command armies in real-time battles across the realm. Master arcane combat, position your forces with precision, and crush your opponents.
Build and expand your settlement with 60+ building types. Lay supply routes, raise fortifications, and forge a thriving civilization.
Uncover a sweeping campaign as an apprentice mage destined to reshape Muriet. One fate — every choice defines your legend.
Shape every game to your liking. Craft your own maps with the built-in editor, tweak difficulty, and set the rules: your world, your terms.
