A land where every alder shelters an oath
Misty marches, a shattered crown and three ancient kingdoms that still remember their vows. Aldermir is a dark fantasy world shaped by its community, one story at a time.

Community cartographers have completed an early map of the northern continent: mountain passes, trade routes, three great forests and the Misty Fens of Meren.
Next come the outposts, abandoned towers and places barely mentioned in the chronicles. This is a working map: names and borders may change as the discussions continue.
Our lore writers have brought the timeline together, from the Oath of the Three Thrones to the night Caer-Oven fell.
The chronicle contains around forty milestones. We have kept the contradictions: every faction has its own account, giving readers reasons to debate, seek clues and choose a side.
The coming months are devoted to describing crafts, refining the abilities of all five classes and agreeing on community guidelines.
Discussions are open, and decisions are recorded in our shared lore collection. There is no launch date. We would rather say so plainly than promise something that does not yet exist.
The name Aldermir combines “alder” with “mir”, a word meaning “world”: travellers used it for the land where someone's oath lies buried beneath every ancient alder.
A thousand years ago, Aldric the Unifier ruled the continent. He bound three kingdoms with the Oath of the Three Thrones and made the Alder Crown a symbol of peace. After his death, the crown broke into three pieces, and the alliance fell apart with it. The chronicles call this the Age of the Shattered Crown. It has never truly ended.
A mountain kingdom of smiths and stonemasons. Its capital, Valheim, is carved into the rock, and its gates have never been forced open.
A woodland realm whose kings were chosen at dusk beside the Alder Circle. Its laws are recorded on bark and stone rather than parchment.
A misty coast once home to learned mages. The kingdom fell in a single night; no one can say for certain why.
Knights who dream of reuniting the crown and restoring a single throne. To them, order matters more than mercy.
The grove's guardians believe the crown is cursed. They want to bury its fragments where no one will ever find them.
Merchants and guild artisans. Every war is a market to them, and they sell fragments to both sides.
A narrow path between two towers, where the mist never clears, even at noon.
Marshes where wandering lights may lead travellers to buried treasure—or into the mire.
A grove where, so the stories say, the words of ancient oaths can still be heard.
Flooded library halls where some books have crumbled while others remain untouched by time.
Five paths, five roles in a party. Steel, precision, arcane knowledge, stealth and summoning: each offers a different way to turn the tide of battle.
Steel and close combat
Heavy armour, powerful blows and resolve in the face of danger. The knight is first through a fortress breach and holds the line while the party prepares its decisive attack.
Precision and ranged combat
A bow or rifle, a good position and a careful judgement of distance. The ranger covers allies, spots danger early and meets the enemy with a well-aimed shot.
Spells and battlefield control
A keeper of Caer-Oven's ancient knowledge. The mage weakens enemies, supports allies and shapes the battle, combining the power of spells with skill at arms.
Stealth and surprise
A swift blade and a hunter's patience. The assassin slips around enemy lines, picks a vulnerable target and strikes before the alarm can be raised.
Arcane orbs and spirits
A master of orbs, totems and summoned creatures. The summoner fights from a distance, directs the strength of spirits and helps the party endure a prolonged battle.
The ideas around which the community is building its world.
The world is conceived as an open place: passes, fens and ruins are not marked on the map. The best discoveries belong to those who keep a traveller's journal.
Smithing, alchemy and woodworking. An item made by a skilled artisan should be worth more than one found in a chest.
Companies with their own banners and chronicles. Each clan chooses a side in the struggle for the crown.
Roads and dungeons are designed for a party in which knights, rangers, mages, assassins and summoners complement one another.
We are building a shared world, so we follow a few simple rules.
The essentials, at a glance.
A fan information portal about an imagined fantasy world, bringing together its history, factions, classes and community rules.
No. This is an information website: there is no game client to download, no account registration and no game servers. We share the world and the ideas behind the project.
The texts, crests and illustrations are original works created for this project.
The community's contact channels are not published on this website yet. Links will be added to the footer when they become available.
News reflects our current ideas. There is no launch date, and details may change following community discussions.
