Write Your Own Story in a Living World
Ashen Banners is a medieval fantasy sandbox where your destiny is yours to forge. Become a renowned hero in service of a kingdom, found your own empire, live as a mercenary, build a powerful trading company, or conquer the continent through force.
In a world where cities grow, populations evolve, and rival factions constantly compete for power, every campaign becomes a unique story shaped by your choices.
Explore a Living World
Travel across a vast continent filled with kingdoms, villages, bustling cities, mighty fortresses, and thriving trade routes. Discover new cultures, accept contracts, join wars, seek fortune through commerce, or simply forge your own path.
Every region has its own economy, population, and conflicts, creating a dynamic world that continues to evolve alongside your journey.
Recruit Followers and Grow Your Company
Every great adventure begins with only a handful of loyal companions.
Visit towns and cities to recruit new followers, hire mercenaries, discover skilled specialists, and prepare your company for the challenges ahead.
Every new recruit is more than just another soldier—they become part of your army's story.
Build Your Army
Create specialized squads for every battlefield.
Choose each squad's leader, assign warriors to the front or back lines, and organize formations capable of overcoming any challenge.
The strength of your army depends not only on its numbers, but on how you command it.
Plan Every Battle
Victory is earned long before the fighting begins.
Deploy your squads, study the terrain, and prepare your strategy before the first sword is drawn. The right formation can determine the fate of an entire army.
Watch Your Strategy Come to Life
Once battle begins, your soldiers execute the plans you've carefully prepared.
Every victory—or defeat—is the result of your decisions: army composition, positioning, equipment, leadership, and tactical planning.
Preparation is the key to victory.
Train and Evolve Your Soldiers
A humble villager can become a seasoned archer, an elite knight, a devoted priest, or a powerful mage.
As your soldiers survive battles and gain experience, they unlock new career paths, allowing you to build armies tailored to your own strategy.
Choose Your Own Path
Become a hero serving a kingdom.
Live as a mercenary, fighting for the highest bidder.
Build a prosperous trading company.
Found and rule your own kingdom.
Conquer the entire continent.
Or watch your empire crumble beneath rebellion and the rise of new factions.
In Ashen Banners, no two campaigns are ever the same.
