About This Game

You've prevailed upon your enemies, and now the Crown is yours.

You are the last of your kind, the only one with mastery over Aether, the mystical energy that can summon fire and lightning against your foes.

With its long history of conquests, your kingdom is now short on allies.
To the north, your eternal enemies lie in wait, unseen in their snowy forests.
To the south, tribes rebel against your family's ancestral rule.
To the west, your only ally refuses to trade in direly needed minerals.
And to the east, seas are quiet, but some suspect that they won’t be so for long…

You will not face these perils alone. To your side sit your advisors whom you can trust with your very life, and to whom you can open your heart.

Your kingdom awaits your decisions. Strengthen your rule by any means necessary, forge new alliances, carve a new path for your realm, or watch it all crumble to dust before your eyes.

The choice, and the kingdom, is yours.

• Create and customize your character: male, female, straight, gay, bisexual.
  Conciliatory, scheming, humorous; set your personality through your choices, and watch the world react to you.

• This is your kingdom. Set the world state according to your experience in Arcadie: Second-Born. Old choices may come back to haunt you, or reveal pleasant surprises.

• Rekindle your romance begun in Arcadie: Second-Born. Rejoin Cyril, your betrothed; return to Will, your most loyal commander; or get in bed with your enemy—literally.
  You can of course also remain unattached.

• Travel across your realm and beyond. Be open and conciliatory, or scheme and poison your opponents. Convince them of your viewpoint, or raze their cities to the ground.

• Immerse yourself in a reactive world and a character-driven tale. Each character has their own motivations and goals, and your relationships will determine much of the story.

• Make decisions that will reshape your kingdom for decades to come.
