Advent of the Mists

You set foot on the lands of Visola, a world scarred by the Sundering—when the Mist (Olu) shattered the familiar order. A pantheon of twelve gods watches as countless races struggle to restore balance, yet prophecies and ancient intrigues intertwine with today’s wars. The world has not yet found peace—and you may become one of the forces that shape or break its fate.

In Advent of the Mists, you don’t choose a class—you forge your destiny. There are no fixed paths here: only skills, crafts, magic, and your own choices. Become a precise archer, a commanding mage, or a master blacksmith—it all depends on practice, learning, and the decisions you make.

Choosing a race means choosing history and identity, not just appearance. You can play as Humans, Elves, Orcs, Felarae, Aeromis, Centaurs, Dwarves, Giants, and more. Each race has its own traditions, culture, and values. Your origin determines how the world perceives you and what paths open before you.

The mechanics ensure that every action has weight:

• Permadeath — death can be final, making every battle truly meaningful.
• RPP (Roleplay Points)—earned through quality roleplay and character development, they become a resource for training, purchases, and growth.
• Skill and magic customization—hundreds of abilities, dozens of professions and crafts, from farming to the arcane arts.
• Stances and a thoughtful combat system, along with dependence on food, rest, and equipment, make the gameplay vivid and demanding.

If you seek a world where every word can become a legend, where choices shape destiny, and where interaction with others gives rise to great stories, Advent of the Mists awaits you. Take up the challenge and forge your name among the gods and heroes of Visola.
