Survival.

As you wake up from a stasis capsule, you will have to navigate out of the cave that you find yourself in. Picking up rusty weapons and gear, with what little water you can find, you adventure out of the cave. But as you get thirsty and hungry, you will notice that your mana won't regenerate, stamina regenerates slower, and if you don't eat or drink quickly enough, you will see your hit points regen slower and slower and even start reducing.

As you head outside the cave, if it is dark, you will quickly notice how little you can see unless you have a light source. Getting cold, you should hope it doesn't rain or else you might just freeze.

Gathering resources like wood and stone, you start by building your first shelter just to keep out of the rain and stay warm within the fire.

As you hear the wildlife around you, you wonder what you should worry about first: the wildlife that can attack you, or the cold that is settling in your bones. Each presents its own immediate danger, and you must decide quickly how to prioritize your actions to ensure your survival. Do you seek shelter and warmth to ward off the cold, or do you arm yourself and prepare for potential encounters with aggressive creatures? Your choice could determine whether you make it through the night unscathed.

Survival is an important aspect of this game; you must continually drink, eat, fight, stay warm, and find or make shelter.

Crafting Relics

As you find old relic fragments, it sparks some memory in you, on how to build something. Putting them together as you chip away at the fragment, and combine them with other fragments, mounting it on a rudimentary wooden ring, you feel confident as you put this ring on.

You find that your thirst is sated.

As hard as it is to survive, relics will assist in survival. From reducing the amount of food, water, or preventing you from getting cold, to allowing you to see in the dark. Crafting these relics will be essential. Players will need to scavenge for rare materials and master ancient techniques to unlock the full potential of these relics, making them invaluable tools in the struggle for survival.

How and what you decide to craft to survive will be important and different for each player. Some might prioritize never being hungry or thirsty, but they may struggle in the dark. While others, wanting to stalk at night, decide that eating and drinking is worth sacrificing for the advantage of night vision. It's all about making choices that align with your play style and the challenges you face in the game world.

Building villages and working with others.

As you meet other players, some will not be hostile and be open to working together. Finding allies will be important for survival. Together, you will build your first village and have to make choices on how to work together. What will be important is deciding and building relics for each player. With a limited supply of relic fragments and time, players as a group will need to decide what is important to the clan. Is it important that players don't have to eat? Or maybe there are other players harassing them, and your group decides to give everyone night vision for a daring night raid.

As hard as it is to survive, working with others will mean that some players will stay and build up the bases, while others gather resources, craft, scout, and even go pillage and raid other players.

The cooperation and coordination within the clan become crucial for not only survival but also for thriving in the game world. Each player's contribution, whether it's gathering resources, defending the village, or crafting relics, plays a vital role in the clan's success. As you work together, bonds will form, strategies will be devised, and the strength of your village will grow.

Shrine Relics.

As your clan grows, sooner or later someone will find a powerful relic. But to reach the full potential of this relic, a shrine will need to be built.

Powerful shrine relics will even give you survival advantages, some emitting a powerful wide aura that anyone in that clan will not feel the effects of hunger. These relics become central to clan survival, providing a significant advantage in harsh environments or during times of scarcity. Mastering the acquisition and protection of these relics could mean the difference between thriving and perishing in the unforgiving world of the game. Strengthening your clan's position and securing these relics will become a top priority as you face increasingly challenging conditions and rival factions.
