Path of Light and Shadow*
The realms are divided, their former glory lost and forgotten. The Tyrant Queen has seized the throne, driving the rightful heirs into deep exile. Players are the sons and daughters of once-great houses, gathering followers and recruits under the guidance of advisors to reclaim what is rightfully theirs.
This game offers an epic experience of empire building, combining territory control, deck management, and civilization adaptation. Players must recruit and promote supporters, equip their emerging empire with powerful technologies, ally with formidable leaders, and besiege rival exiles for the throne. Each must also choose the kind of leader they wish to become—cruel or merciful—while navigating the rewards and dangers that each path entails.
