“At Eldermere, nobody asks who you want to become. They ask who your family expected you to become.”

Hidden somewhere in the old European countryside stands Eldermere Academy, an ancient institution surrounded by forests, stone estates, forgotten gardens, and centuries of history.

Eldermere is not an ordinary school.

For generations, its halls have belonged to influential families, brilliant scholars, heirs to powerful dynasties, and a handful of students whose presence at the academy has never been fully explained.

Behind its grand architecture lies another world.

Secret societies meet behind locked doors. Rival houses carry traditions older than the academy's current students. Forbidden archives contain manuscripts that were never meant to be read. Underground passages connect forgotten parts of the estate. Professors have secrets of their own, and some traditions are followed without anyone remembering why they began.

Every year, masked formal events, private gatherings, academic competitions, house rivalries, and mysterious ceremonies bring the students together.

And somewhere beneath the polished surface of Eldermere, something is waiting to be uncovered.

YOU DECIDE WHO YOU ARE.

You create your own character and enter Eldermere as whoever you choose:
