Which class to choose
Four classes are named, two have published paths, and one ranking exists. What that is enough to decide, and what it is not, as of August 2026.
Life skills and professions
Hunting, gathering, farming, crafting, trading and housing are named; sailing is described in an interview. What that means before choosing a profession.
Bosses and adversaries
Wraith Commander, Celtak, Duskshade, Helkam, Zudaka and Gakitos: what the official material shows, and why a lore post does not establish a raid.
Understanding the factions
Ten factions have been named by XLGAMES between October 2024 and July 2025 — four of them only once. Here is each one, with what the studio published about it and the date.
Sourced
Every claim names the source it comes from, and links to it.
Dated
Every page shows when it was last verified against its sources.
Levelled
Confirmed by the studio, reported by an outlet, or unconfirmed — always stated.
Honest about gaps
What is unknown is written as unknown, never filled in.
