Welcome, Adventurers!
Survivors from the depths of the wildness have begun stumbling back into towns and restoring order to a once chaotic landscape. Great hope rings through the realm.
You, the Adventurer, arrived in town with just the clothing on your back, a few basic backpack essentials, and pocket change. What role will you play in the story of Britannia?
Thank you for being here at the beginning. Your story starts now.

Patches and Updates
The Tides you log into isn’t the final iteration of the shard. We’ll be patching and releasing content and feature updates in the future. Check out our Shard roadmap page to learn more.
Recurring Rare Spawns & Server Births
Recurring rare items and unique server birth rares will begin spawning at shard launch. These items were not available throughout testing and should offer a challenge to find. Keep your eyes open and be ready to explore.
Factions Slow-Release
Factions will not be available upon launch. It will be released in an expansion later, after there is a playerbase to support larger PvP skirmishes. Guilds can use the standard guild war features and virtue (Order / Chaos) system to engage in non-criminal PvP combat.
Khaldun Crypt
The entrance Khaldun of has been sealed off and is inaccessible for the first 30 days of the shard.
More information will be released about this later.

The Dark Arts Academy dungeon is sealed off and inaccessible for the first 60 days of the shard. More information will be released about this later.
