LUMENGATE

The gates already know your name.

Beyond the walls, dozens of portals wait in silence. Some lead to known worlds. Others have never returned anyone.

LIVING PORTALSEvery gate leads to a different land, with its own creatures, ruins and secrets.
A HERO OF YOUR OWNThe name you choose stays with you: gear, deeds and progress are yours.

DISCOVER THE WORLD

A world to journey through.

The sea beyond the harbour. The depths beneath the city. A passage that opens when your party overcomes the final challenge. In Aetheria, every path is an adventure to live and something to bring home.

ETHER TIDES

Every island, another adventure.

Leave the harbour behind. Between sunlit coves and wilder shores, choose where to land: treasure chests are not the only things waiting. The farther you sail, the more formidable the island guardians become.

  • Sail between ten islands
  • Face the tide guardians
  • Find chests along the shores

BENEATH LUMENGATE

The city hides another world.

Beneath the streets of Lumengate, the light changes. The catacombs lead to ancient halls, braziers and seals to decipher. Read the traces left in stone: the heart of the city is waiting to be awakened.

  • Explore the underground sanctum
  • Solve the puzzles of the seals
  • Awaken the city’s rune

TEN-FLOOR TOWER

Every floor raises the stakes.

The passage opens only when the last enemy falls. Climb through ten floors, alone or with your party, all the way to the Sovereign’s throne. At the top, a blessing awaits those who make it back.

  • Fight your way up each floor
  • Challenge the Tower Sovereign
  • Earn a blessing for the forge

INFINITE WELL

How deep will you dare to go?

The surface grows distant. In the Well, each descent brings stronger creatures, new rewards and bosses that test your party. Prepare your equipment and potions: the next staircase is your choice.

  • Clear increasingly difficult floors
  • Face bosses and weekly modifiers
  • Reach new depths

TREASURES & EQUIPMENT

Your next find changes everything.

A blade, a ring, an item you have never seen before. Bring weapons, equipment and materials back from monsters and dungeons: compare bonuses, find the right piece and take it to Lumengate’s forge.

  • Discover weapons and items of different rarities
  • Upgrade and reforge your equipment
  • Collect materials and collectibles

AN ARMORY TO DISCOVER

Hundreds of items to discover.

Magma blades, storm bows, luminous scepters. Then armor, helms, shields, rings and necklaces: every journey can bring home something different. Among materials, relics and legendary pieces, there’s always another discovery to chase. Which one will end up in your bag?

  • Discover swords, bows, scepters and armor
  • Seek out rings, relics and rare materials
  • From common to legendary: five rarities

THE WAYFARERS’ MARKET

Every treasure has another story.

Return to the city with your discoveries. An item sitting in your bag might be exactly what another wayfarer is looking for. Trade with other players, auction your finds and get ready to set out again.

  • Trade items with other players
  • Buy and sell at player auctions
  • Find the equipment for your next journey

BEYOND THE NEXT GATE
