World of Ember Sword



Ember Sword is planned to be an exciting and ever-changing platform to ensure a different experience every time the player connects to the game.

The world is divided into 4 nations: Solarwood, Duskeron, Edisau and Sevrend. Players must choose one Nation as their home nation during character creation. Each nation has three types of territory: Kingship, Wilderness, and Outlaw.



The Outlaw territory is the most dangerous territory and lies on the border between the two nations. This area is a source of rare resources, high-level monsters, but also contains high risks. Whoever the player encounters will be able to attack. In addition, the player can also fight to take control of the outlaw's camp which will reward players with a rare collectible.



Wilderness territory is a PvE area rich in resources, monsters, and NPC (Non-Player Character). If players encounter other players from the enemy nation, you'll have a chance to attack them. Bosses in the Ember Sword World will spawn in the Wilderness and Kingship territories. Encountering the boss and killing them will provide rare rewards or even Cosmetic Items.



Kingship territory is a PvE-only area, such as finding resources, NPC, quests, etc. This territory is controlled by players through 160,000 plots of land.
