The factions
Every player chooses one of two factions when joining a world and keeps it until the world ends. Both can win; they get there differently.
Mycelial Concord
Mushroom-folk whose grown villages share one fungal network.
- Strong in
- Defence, hidden stores and early warning
- Weak in
- Slow armies and a weak attack
Lantern Synod
A twilight theocracy that stores sunlight in glass.
- Strong in
- Elite troops, mages and the best heroes
- Weak in
- Expensive, with a slow start
