[h3][b]Greetings, Blacksmiths![/b][/h3] In this epic journey where a blacksmith straddles an uncertain past and an unknown future, your hammer will be more than a tool—it will shape the fate of a kingdom. As you craft each weapon, you won’t just forge steel; you’ll carve out destiny itself. The story of the game is now complete, bringing a journey with multiple endings that allow you to shape the destiny of the kingdom. Every choice you make along the way will ripple through the story, steering it toward unique outcomes based on your actions. [h3]LATIA ROYAL ARENA NOW OPEN![/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44895334/93452820d1fd643a81d9b72ed1c779b9e3d77ee1.gif[/img] Enter the Royal Arena of Latia, where the strongest warriors battle to the death, and feel the advantage of being a blacksmith. Whether you use your weapon expertise to place clever bets and win riches or equip your slaves with the finest gear to dominate grand tournaments, the arena offers endless opportunities for glory. Remember, though, that anything that falls upon the arena sands becomes the arena’s property. As their master, keeping your slaves alive is in your hands. Train them, arm them with the best weapons and armor, and prepare them for the brutal challenges ahead. Fail to do so, and you’ll face the bitterness of defeat by losing them to the sands. [h3]FATES DETERMINED BY COLD STEEL[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44895334/c05ee8910236c35ed4c48f699292b0785c2492e5.gif[/img] Your fighters’ survival depends not only on their skills but on their gear, fighting styles, and how they work as a team. Will they dodge incoming attacks or block them head-on? Equip a mighty axe for devastating power but at a slower pace, or choose a lighter blade for speed at the risk of breakage in battle. Heavily armored fighters can withstand more damage but may struggle to counterattack. This complex battle system blends strategy and brute force, where each hammer strike you land will decide whether your fighters stand on the razor-thin edge between life and death. We’ll soon be sharing more details on combat mechanics, damage systems, slave production and growth rates, weapon quality and pricing, the influence of special customers on the storyline, rewards, and more.
