Introduction

This is the day you've been waiting for. You live in the city of Initio to become a member of a warband. Warbands are small unions by members of all races with a common goal. What is your goal? Well, time will tell, won't it? You have trained for years, and now you have finished your apprenticeship. No matter if you are an orphan, here of your own free will, or if your parents have sent you here – that part of your life is over. This is a new story now. New friends and new duties, new responsibilities and new battles. Your skills will be put to the test in more ways than you can imagine. But you are ready.
Warbands are one of the few instances all races are part of and work together. No one cares about your origin. Everyone gets his chance. The only thing that matters is your abilities, your skill and your personality. The challenges that lie before you are profound, and many have failed to fulfill their fate. You will see things that no one has seen before, and battle foes that are mightier than anything you could ever envision. Riddles will put your wit to the test and rivals will try to stand in your way. Sometimes you may fail and sometimes you will have to survive huge setbacks. But if you and your warband perservere, you may become the most powerful of all.
Some say that one day, one warband will rise and unite Varria. You may have heard or dreamed about it before, and now you get your chance to show everyone what you're made of. Even if you don't pursue reigning, there is still fame to be earned, still mysteries to be unveiled, still artifacts to be discovered. Varria has an unknown past and many uncharted realms. Everything is waiting for you to rise. And it all starts today. This is the day you've been waiting for.
