The Lamps are lit
Aetherfall is in closed development. Until the closed test opens, this is where we will speak to you, and the Lamps are lit for the Wardens who will come.
From here on, this site carries three things. Dev updates like this one, written as the work goes on. The lore of the world, set down as it is found, from the lit cities to the far edge of the Wastelands. And accounts, so you can claim your name ahead of the closed test.
You can create an account now. If you want to be among the first to carry a shard into the dark, start there.
What is on the site
- The World: the Lamps that hold back the dark, the cities under their glow, and the Wastelands beyond them.
- Combat: how a Warden fights. Aim hostile runes with the crosshair, and lock on to allies to help them.
- Brands: the lineages a Soul Crystal can carry, and what each one asks of its bearer.
Keep your lamp close. There is more to come.
