CROWN OF ASHES RPG

Heroes save worlds.

Villains change them.

Welcome to Eryndor.

A living dark fantasy world where kingdoms wage war, ancient gods have vanished, monsters roam forgotten lands and reality itself slowly breaks apart.

Centuries ago, the world nearly ended during a catastrophe known as The Black Eclipse.

The sky split apart.

Gods died.

Entire civilizations vanished.

And something ancient awakened beneath reality itself.

Although the disaster was sealed away, the scars never healed.

Now the seals weaken once more.

Villages disappear overnight.

Ancient horrors awaken.

The dead whisper through dreams.

Across every continent, fear spreads.

Yet none of these are the world's greatest threat.

You are.

Unlike traditional fantasy stories, you are not the hero.

You are destined to become one of the greatest villains in history.

A conqueror.

A tyrant.

A dark god.

A destroyer of nations.

Or something far worse.

The path is yours to choose.

The world reacts to every decision.

Kingdoms rise and fall.

Heroes emerge to stop you.

Rival villains seek your power.

Followers gather beneath your banner.

Empires can be built.

Civilizations can be destroyed.

Love, betrayal, war, politics, horror and conquest all shape your journey.

No two stories are ever the same.

Every playthrough begins differently.

Every choice matters.

Every victory creates new enemies.

Every act of evil echoes throughout history.

The world will not wait for you.

It will continue changing.

With or without your involvement.

The only question is:

What kind of nightmare will your name become?
