Mercenaries for Coin. Contracts for Glory.
We are a D&D 2024 persistent server designed to play like an MMO. Your character grows through contracts, ranks, and reputation in a living world that remembers success and failure.
Your character continues to grow across contracts, downtime, and server events.
Adventures are posted as contracts, allowing players to sign up and play at different times.
Your level determines your rank, which helps balance contracts, rewards, and item access.
Success and failure both matter. The world responds to what players do.
Progress Points represent time and effort spent on contracts.
