Welcome to Dayster—a fractured world where the past bears the scars of the Empire and the future is still undecided.
Ancient Anguish is a text-based role-playing online game set centuries after the fall of the Great Empire. Its remnants of power are scattered among young kingdoms, villages, and dangerous factions, but in the shadows of old ruins, magic still whispers and ancient evil slumbers.
Choose from five races — human, elf, half-elf, dwarf, orc — and embark on a journey through this unstable world. Who will you become: a wandering mercenary, a mage seeking forbidden knowledge, a priest of fallen gods, or a rogue? Your path is shaped by your choice of guild, each offering a playstyle and character development.
The world is described in text, but it holds more depth than any picture. Expect exploration, dangers, quests, puzzles, and interaction with living players. All surrounded by lore that doesn’t dictate but invites you to write your own story.
Ancient Anguish is a place where decisions matter more than clicks, and experience matters more than time. Your saga begins with the first step.
