Age of Ember and Frost
As the realms ignite with fiery power and frostbound cunning, the Draconians ascend from their volcanic sanctuaries, their Dragon Skin deflecting not just the fury of battle but the elements themselves. These scaled warriors channel their innate might, leaving devastation in their wake. Alongside them, the mischievous Goblins rise with their devious ingenuity, calling on their cunning Wargs to devour the supplies of their enemies and sow chaos across the lands.
Yet, amidst the fiery battles and icy plots, a haunting chill stirs in the dark corners of the realm—a whisper of the undead, echoing through frostbitten winds, promising that ancient powers may yet return.

Introducing Unique Racial Abilities
This age introduces powerful racial abilities, capturing the distinct essence of each race to provide strategic depth. Whether channelling the skies as an Avian, sowing sabotage as a Goblin, or wielding arcane potency as an Elf, players can master their chosen race's strengths.
Each race has a unique ability that reflects its core strengths and theme. These abilities are categorised as either passive bonuses or active abilities:
Passive Bonuses: These are always in effect and provide consistent benefits without requiring activation.
Active Abilities: Must be activated by the player and grant powerful effects for a limited duration. Once the duration expires, a cooldown timer begins, during which the ability cannot be used again.
