Spellwardens: Dawn of the World Scar

Enter the Rift. Master the elements. Defy the Chaos Lord.

A World Scar has torn open Valtheris, unleashing monsters, magical distortions, and a spreading tide of chaos. Only the Spellwardens can contain the invasion—but deep within the shifting Rift, the Chaos Lord awaits.

Spellwardens: Dawn of the World Scar is a tile-based fantasy adventure of exploration, tactical spellcasting, and unpredictable encounters. Build a hidden Rift, reveal its dangers, destroy the Rift Nodes, unlock the Core, and defeat its guardian.

Every battle presents a new tactical puzzle. Draw a fresh spell arsenal, build Mana Points, exploit elemental advantages, and decide when to attack, defend, support your allies, or unleash powerful combinations.

One player becomes the Chaos Lord, commanding monsters and disrupting the Heroes with Chaos Cards. Custom Action Dice determine monster behavior, while strategic targeting, tied results, and powerful Jackpot rolls make every encounter dangerous and unpredictable.

Choose the experience that fits your group:

• 1 vs Many: Unite the Spellwardens against the Chaos Lord, survive increasingly dangerous encounters, and destroy the Rift together.

• PvPvE: Fight monsters, challenge rival Heroes, earn Rift Points, and compete against both the other Spellwardens and the Chaos Lord.

Randomized Rift layouts, spell hands, monsters, Echo Fragments, Rift Distortions, Chaos Cards, and Action Dice ensure that no two adventures—or battles—unfold exactly the same.

Will the Spellwardens stand together against the darkness, or will rivalry and chaos consume them before the World Scar can be sealed?

Build the Rift. Command the magic. Become a Spellwarden.
