A free browser JRPG of lanterns, ash, and half-remembered lore.

Play now — free, no download

Play as a Lantern Keeper exploring the world of Mytherra. Book One's story is complete end to end — six regions, twelve chapters, turn-based combat, and quests waiting in forgotten places. Towns are full of NPCs with their own stories to tell, other Keepers are out there trading and talking in the same world as you, and when you're ready for a real fight, the Endless Battle or a friendly duel is never far off.

What's waiting out there

Turn-Based Combat

Face beasts, spirits, and ancient guardians in strategic party combat across every region — six unique bosses, dozens of skills, and gear worth hunting for.

A Complete Story

Book One is finished start to finish — twelve chapters across six regions, from the mountain waystations of Ash Hallow to the aurora-lit halls of Frosthaven.

A Living World

Trade with other players, talk in town chat, and join or form a clan. This isn't a world you explore alone unless you want to.

Endless Battle & Duels

Take on cooperative wave-survival in the Endless Battle, or test your build against another Keeper in a casual 1-on-1 duel.

Free, No Download

Runs entirely in your browser. Create a character and be exploring within minutes — nothing to install, ever.

Trade With Friends

Offer up items, gold, or both directly to another player — every exchange is server-verified, so no one walks away shorted.

Gear Up

Hunt for weapons, armor, and lanterns found across every region, and build a loadout that fits how you like to fight.

Six regions to explore

Each with its own hub town, its own dangers, and its own reason a Lantern Keeper was sent for.

Ash Hallow

Iron Mountains

A small mountain town at the foot of the Iron Mountains, home to the Lantern Keepers' waystation.

Mirehaven

Crimson Bayou

A bustling river settlement built on stilts above the bayou, its boardwalks creaking underfoot.

Highwind Crossing

Endless Prairie

A frontier town on the edge of the grasslands, canvas and timber braced against the endless wind.

Cedarwatch

Whispering Pines

A logging and spiritual community among giant trees, timber halls built into roots older than any record.

Red Mesa

Shattered Desert

A town built directly into the canyon cliffs, its buildings carved as much as constructed.

Frosthaven

Frozen Frontier

A fortified settlement beneath the aurora, its walls packed with snow against the endless winter outside.

A world of familiar faces

Fifty-five named NPCs are waiting across Mytherra. Here are a few you'll meet early.
