About Ashen Empires

Talazar's demonic forces have spread across Dransik, where quests and dangerous dungeons offer monsters, bosses and magical rewards. You can hunt with friends, explore the wider world or spend time improving a craft for the player-driven market.

Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Constitution determine how well you perform activities and what equipment you can use. There are no fixed character classes or skill caps based on those stat allocations. Improving weapon skills lets you wield stronger weapons, and spellcasting spans Nature, Body, Mind and Soul.
