Intro & Game Concept
Welcome to the world of Thardferr!
Your Kingdom and Province
You begin your reign with a modest claim: a fledgling kingdom of 10 acres, a lonely castle, and a handful of humble structures clinging to survival in a war-torn realm. It may not look like much, but it is yours. And from this soil, empires will rise.
Your kingdom is not alone. It lies within a province, a coalition of up to eight kingdoms bound by shared borders and, if you’re lucky, shared purpose. These regents are not just your neighbors, they are your first and best chance at survival.
Your province has a shared forum, a place where treaties are formed, strategies whispered, and alliances forged in the fire of common threats. Use it. A silent regent is a soon-to-be forgotten one.
đź’¬ In Thardferr, the sword wins battles, but the message board wins wars.
Helping your fellow regents now may mean the difference between victory and obliteration later. Provinces that coordinate well often stand longer, conquer more, and share the spoils of unified war.
The Continent
Beyond your provincial borders lies the continent of Thardferr, a sprawling realm of rival provinces, hidden powers, and ruthless opportunists. Some will offer trade. Others will bring fire and ruin.
From the Kingdom HoF menu, you can spy on this wider world – watching alliances shift, castles fall, and new powers rise. Keep an eye on your enemies, and an arrow ready for your friends.
The Flow of Time
Thardferr is a world that lives even while you sleep.
- 1 real-world hour = 1 game day
- 1 real-world day = 1 game month
Whether you’re online or not, your kingdom grows, builds, and gathers income. Your peasants do not wait for your login. They farm, they breed, they train, and sometimes they starve – with or without you.
🕰️ You are not required to play every hour. Issue commands when you can, and trust in your strategy while you’re away.
You may log in once a day, issue orders for the coming days, and return later to see what has unfolded. If you’re attacked or blessed by fortune in your absence, you’ll find the results waiting in your news and message board, where timestamps are given in real-world time so you can track your kingdom’s story as it unfolds.
You are the sole voice of command in your kingdom. While the world turns without you, nothing happens without your will.
Final Words from the Throne
You have been given a chance. A castle. A name. A spark of power.
Your choices will decide whether your kingdom thrives, falls, or changes the course of history. Will you unite your province and bring peace? Or raise an army and carve your name in blood?
The Emperor watches.
The land waits.
Your peasants await orders.
Your armies await battle.
Your enemies await your mistake.
Welcome to Thardferr.
Your reign begins now.
