Long ago, the world of Verra[1] was besieged by a great calamity. A corruption befell the land, twisting and perverting every facet of nature, spawning hideous beings of every description; from troll-like creatures to towering behemoths. Nothing escaped its touch.[2]
Granted by divine intervention, your ancestors fled Verra through towering gateways, seeking refuge in a place void of magic.[3]
Soon after the exodus, the gateways dimmed and became dormant. Centuries turned to millennia, burying them beneath myriad calamities. Over eons, history became legend, then even the great legends were at last forgotten.[4]
The world in Ashes lay devoid of civilization for centuries. Until now.[2]
What was once buried had risen again. The gateways had opened, reigniting the link to the ancient world.[3]
Vast expeditions were sent through the gateways to discover the beautiful and perilous magical realm of your ancestors.[3]
Players arrive in Verra to explore, rebuild and repopulate their place of origin. Ancient treasures[5] and wondrous adventures await those who dare to disturb the dark remnants of evil that inhabit this land.[3]
From now on, the choices these adventurers make will influence how the story will unfold.[4]
Player driven narrative
The world will be the same on each server, but Nodes will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.[6]
Discovery of legendary items will unlock further chapters of the lore.[7]
