THE ASCENDANT · A WORLD WRITTEN BY ITS PEOPLE
Don't read your story.Be it.

The game opens soon · Explore the living Codex while the world is taking shape.
A different kind of RPG
Not every legend carries a sword.
Katarra is built for the explorer, the fighter, the craftsperson, the investigator, and the roleplayer. The world offers different ways to matter, whether you confront its dangers or shape the lives of those who do.
Find your path
At Level 5, follow the Adventurer path or commit to one of ten distinct Professions.
Live with consequence
Reputation, discoveries, relationships, and unresolved events give your character a history that matters.
Power and purpose
Two paths. Countless stories.
Adventurers develop powers through Legacy Stones and specialize in offense, defense, restoration, or utility. Professionals pursue mastery in Alchemy, Artificing, Blacksmithing, Cooking, Jewelry-making, Merchandising, Mining, Scholarship, Survivalism, or Wayfinding.
THE TEN PROFESSIONS OF KATARRA
Some forge steel.
Others forge legends.
An Adventurer may carry the sword. Someone had to make it. Someone else had to discover the ore, chart the road, and keep the expedition alive. Which story will be yours?
