Welcome to Highlands 3 — a text-based universe where every word comes alive and every choice forges the fate of entire kingdoms.
Here you set foot upon ancient lands, veiled in the mists of the northern mountains and steeped in legend. Once, these highlands were home to gods and heroes, but balance has been broken: ancient powers awaken, clans once more rally under their banners, and darkness creeps through the ruins of forgotten cities. You must choose your nature — will you become a wise elf, a steadfast dwarf, a fierce orc, or one of the many other wondrous races? Your choice determines not only your playstyle but also how the world itself will treat you.
The available classes are immensely varied: from valiant warriors and skilled rangers to wizards, priests, and masters of shadow. Each path is unique, and every skill is a weapon in the struggle for life and honor. Highlands 3 offers a deep system of abilities, quests, and crafts. The world draws no line between “beginners” and “veterans” — it challenges everyone equally. You can fight, explore, learn, trade, and shape the destiny of entire regions. Hundreds of zones are woven into one seamless world, where there are no artificial borders — only roads leading toward glory or ruin.
If you seek a game where text speaks louder than graphics, where choices have weight, and every battle tells a story — then Highlands 3 will become your new home.
