A fantasy RPG colony sim built as an adventure generator

Begin with one settlement and a few guild members.
Build a home, gear up your companions, and face the coming disasters.

World exploration

Dynamic systems create
emergent gameplay

How far can your guild go?
Start with one settlement and an unmapped world. What you build, whom you trust, which runes you use, and how far you explore defines everything that follows.
