What Your Weekend Looks Like
From your first step into the world…
to the final moments of the story.
Friday – The Beginning
You arrive at camp, meet your fellow clan members, and take your first steps into the world of Stormborn.
Through your induction and tutorial, you’ll learn the basics, choose your path, and stand before the clan to swear your oath.
As night falls, the adventure begins. Smaller quests lead you into the wilds, before a major event draws the clan together for the first time.
The evening ends at the King’s Feast — a time for stories, rumours, and the first whispers of what lies ahead.
Saturday – The Heart of the Adventure
The world opens up.
Throughout the day, you’ll take part in multiple quests, explore the wilds, and begin shaping your place within the clan.
During the training window, you’ll develop your skills, grow stronger, and prepare for what’s to come.
As the sun sets, the story builds toward a major event — followed by the peak encounter of the weekend.
Later, the atmosphere shifts. The black market opens, secrets are traded, and the world feels alive in a completely different way.
Sunday – The Final Chapter
The final chapter begins.
With one last push into the wilds, the clan faces the consequences of what has been set in motion.
A final major quest brings everything together, before the King’s Address closes the weekend and sets the stage for what comes next.
Crafting, enchanting, and research are available throughout the entire weekend — allowing you to shape your journey in your own way.
