Begin the adventure loved by millions, refined since launch with a wealth of updates, including new content, mounts, pets, customization options, various quality-of-life improvements, and more. On the continent of Pywel, the rival factions of Pailune maintained a tense balance. At Kliff's side stood his steadfast Greymane comrades, but a devastating ambush in the deep of night by their sworn enemies the Black Bears leaves members of the Greymanes dead or scattered across the continent. Kliff—having lost his family in all but name—is determined to reunite with the survivors and rebuild the faction. But on a journey where alliances are forged, dangers abound, and mysterious factions are uncovered, Kliff will meet those who seek to upend the very order of the continent and face a mission unlike any he has ever known. Welcome to Pywel. Here you'll find stretches of natural beauty and wilderness—from green plains and woods to arid deserts and rugged mountains—alongside bustling cities and quiet hamlets inhabited by residents from all walks of life. Between destinations, you will come across landmarks, ancient ruins, hidden treasures, and other points of interest that will draw your curisoity to wander.
