Barren Realms is a world where ancient legends come alive through text, and every choice you make becomes part of a grand saga. Here you enter an age of sword and sorcery, where kingdoms rise and fall under the power of steel, will, and magic.
You begin your journey among many races: the proud Dwarves, the wise Elves, the predatory Illithids, the freedom-loving Avians, the nimble Kender, and the deadly Humans. Each race carries its own destiny, unique abilities, and magical traditions. Yet the world does not bind you to your origins — grow beyond them, master foreign arts, and become adept in multiple disciplines at once.
Sharpen your skills, seek mentors, and learn both spells and the ways of battle. When your power reaches its peak, a forbidden path will open before you — the remort, a rebirth into the race of Demons, ancient lords of chaos for whom no limits of power or knowledge exist.
The world of Barren Realms is vast: over a hundred regions, each with its own history, secrets, and enemies. You may travel alone or join a fellowship of heroes who build new lands and weave their names into the chronicles of the realm.
Barren Realms is not merely a game — it is a test of mind, strength, and endurance. Here, everything depends on your word and your choice. Are you ready to become a legend?
