By what name do you wish to be mourned?
Carrion Fields is one of the longest-running online RPGs in the world, a hardcore, text-based grandfather to games like World of Warcraft and Everquest. It's a cross between a tabletop roleplaying game and an MMORPG.
Enter Thera, a dark fantasy world of eternal conflict among mortal factions and gods, where monsters, fellow adventurers, and time itself are constant threats.
Make your mark with wits, weapons, diverse schools of magic, or power drawn from the gods. Create a character and write their story in a vast world over 30 years in the making, filled with secrets and mysteries to uncover and exploit.
Carrion Fields is completely free and run by volunteer "Immortals," who act as Game Masters and roleplay as the world's gods. Overhead is covered by dedicated players' donations. No pay-to-play. No paying for in-game perks or cosmetic items. We don't care how much money you have - just how fast you can think and how good your story is.
- Explore hundreds of PvE quests, puzzles, raids, dungeons, and other areas in an ever-growing world.
- Fight in nuanced, strategic PvP, including "cabal" factions' never-ending battles for power.
- Choose from 21 races, 17 classes, 7 player-run cabals, and numerous unique customization options.
- Necromancers can become Liches, Vampyres, Wights or Mummies. Shapeshifters can transform into powerful or mythical beasts. Warriors can specialize in weapons and learn abilities from warrior-monks. Thieves can mix poisonous brews and set traps. Rangers can master specific terrains, use archery or travel with beast companions. And much more!
- Compete to discover or plunder powerful limited and legendary items.
- Role-play is required and enforced. Everyone you meet is fighting their own battle, writing their own story, and hoping to come out on top.
