About Embers of the Uncrowned

Fresh embers are stirring on the road to restoring House Harborwell. Uncharted territory opens up before you, mighty new enemies step out of the shadows, and the lands you once walked freely become battlegrounds for warring factions. Seize new power and claim glory for your house.

• New Region: Saltern Harbor, a domain where the dead rise from their graves of salt. Confront the brutal truth behind Count White and his house.
• New Chaos Dungeon: Forbidden Reef, where a perfect specimen wakes from its slumber inside a black cocoon. Stand against hatred incarnate, brimming with black aether.
• Field Co-op: Legion Invasion. When the red mist rises, elven legions flood in. Join forces to cut them down and turn back the invasion.
• Large-Scale PvP: Aether Purification War. Three factions clash across familiar domains. Protect your supplies and fly your victory banner over the land.
• New Class: Nightstalker, a ranged hunter who learned to survive alone in a land where the sun never rises. Wielding a longbow imbued with moonlight and frost, they strike down prey under cover of darkness.
• Gender-Lock Removed: All classes can now be played as either male or female.

Embers of the Uncrowned is an isometric dark fantasy action MMORPG set on a continent shattered by an elven invasion. Born a bastard of House Harborwell, you left home to make your way as a mercenary, but you could never outrun your bloodline. Now the elves have brought your house to ruin, and you must lead what remains as its last hope. Battle corrupted creatures and the elven forces creeping across the land, reclaim what was lost, and build your house anew.

Victory is earned through your own skill and sharp strategy, not handed out by raw stats. Master a range of classes, each with its own style, and rule the battlefield with a companion fighting beside you.

• Distinct Classes: The Spectral Blade cuts through the battlefield in a blur, phantom longsword in hand. When the Executioner's massive axe falls like judgment itself, nothing is left standing. In the Stormbringer's hands, wind and lightning condense into devastating magic that annihilates everything in its path. And from the darkness, the Nightstalker hunts, longbow alive with moonlight and frost. With signature skills and unique elements for every class, there's no single path to power. Experiment with playstyles, explore every branch of the skill tree, and find the build that suits you best.
• Steadfast Companion: The battlefield is a lonely place on your own. Your companion is no mere sidekick but another hero of this story, standing with you every step of the way. Recruit a companion, grow stronger together, and unleash powerful synergies that turn the tide of battle.

Some foes are too powerful to take on alone. Team up with other players to bring down the colossal horrors threatening this land, and claim the spoils of victory.

• Domain Bosses: Stand with other players against the mighty bosses that hold each domain in their grip. Every domain you defend lays another stone in your house's foundation.
• Chaos Dungeons: Take on bosses of staggering power. Only seamless teamwork and flawless tactics will see you through.
• Aether Purification War: Three powers vie for control of the domains. Rally with your faction to gather supplies, hold them against all comers, and prove whose land this truly is.

In Embers of the Uncrowned, you and your house rise together. Liberate the land, make your name known, and watch your settlement flourish and your strength grow with it.

• A Living, Breathing Settlement: What begins as a ragged camp will draw people in as you build it up, growing little by little into a sprawling, bustling city.
• Endless Progression: Push your potential to its absolute limit. Combine Skill Gems, enhance your gear, and claim the ancestral power handed down through the House Legacy.
• Hidden Stories: Tragic histories and untold adventures lie waiting in every corner of the continent. Venture out and unearth the cruel secrets this world would rather keep buried.

Even in the heat of battle, style matters. Sculpt your character's face and body however you like, and play any class as the gender of your choice. Then turn heads with a wide range of bold, original costumes that shine against the darkness of this world. Mix and match every piece from head to toe to create a look that's yours alone.
