Game in development
Fight
Sword-only arena combat. No other weapons — lore and law. Every round demands skill, read, and nerve.
Build
The Buy Phase: spend Gold on a randomized ability pool, construct synergistic loadouts, and adapt to what the Wardens offer.
Wager
Anima is on the line — yours and your backers'. Spectators bet live. Sponsors take a cut. The Wardens take the rake.

The World
You think you're competing.
You're performing.
Above the clouds, immortals live without consequence. Below them, mortal followers offer their devotion as Anima — the currency that buys entry into the arena, fuels the wagers, and feeds the Wardens.
The Wardens are ancient. They run the books. They don't gamble at their own table — they are the table. Every tournament that reaches them, every match, every cosmetic sold — it all flows toward Ilestro, the cloud city at the top of the world.
The immortals all know this. They simply don't care.
The Arena
Meet the Wardens
Each destination in the Voyage is presided over by a Warden. Their personality shapes the arena, the abilities on offer, and the terms of engagement.
