The Umbral Pact

Shadows Obey. Empires Fall.

Lore

Exiled from the Luminari for forbidden magic, the Umbral Pact embraces the shadows. Their Shadow Ships slip unseen through enemy waters, their Mages weave spells of darkness and decay, and their Dragons breathe shadow-fire. They seek not just victory, but the complete annihilation of those who cast them out.

Heroes

Campaign heroes level up across missions, unlocking powerful abilities at levels 3, 6, and 9. Each tier offers a choice between two specializations.

Sable the Resonance Witch

Hero Progression

Heroes are the heart of your warband. They grow stronger every battle, learn signature abilities, equip legendary loot, and can even be taken under your direct command.

Earn XP & Level Up

Heroes gain experience by slaying enemies and clearing the neutral creep camps that guard the Wilds. Every level raises their health, damage and armor, all the way to a level cap of 10.

Choose Your Path

At levels 3, 6 and 9, each hero unlocks a new ability — always a choice between two specializations. Build the hero your battle plan needs.

Equip Legendary Gear

Outfit heroes across 8 equipment slots with gear from your faction blacksmith and the neutral Troll-Vault — plus tomes for permanent stat boosts.

CommonUncommonRareEpicLegendary

Take Direct Control

Become the Stone Legend: possess any of your heroes and play them directly, action-RPG style. Charge in, dodge, and unleash abilities with hands-on control — then hand them back to the AI when the fight is won.

Army Roster

22 units across ground, air, sea, and trade. Master every warrior to dominate the battlefield.
