The legend
Before the world there was only the deep: dark, endless, waiting. Then Je'Shore, the Maker, spoke, and light broke across the water. He drew Avalorn up out of the dark, and to hold it together he gave his own heart. It still beats in a chalice of white stone. They call it the Soulheart.
To raise a world out of the deep, the Maker had to divide it. His word became an edge of light that split day from night and land from deep, then came to rest as a sword. No smith forged it, and nothing can break it. What drew the world out of the dark can cut it loose again, so he gave it to the Lady of the Mere to guard. Only Felix stared at it too long.
Felix was the brightest of the Maker's servants, the first to raise a shield in his name. Pride hollowed him out. Cast into the deep and stripped of his name, he crowned himself Lakatoth, Lord of the Deep, and spent a thousand years building an army in the dark.
Then the sun went black. Lakatoth rose from the Mere, struck down its Lady and shattered the stone that held Severwyn. Now he marches on Caidengrail to drive the blade into the Soulheart and drown the world. The sun has not come back. Four questers ride to beat him there.

The journey
Draft from hero cards and a shared General pool. Every run grows a different deck.
Cross a dying land on a new map every run. Every fork is a choice between danger, treasure and rest.
Crack open Reliquaries on the road for armor, weapons and trinkets. Every run outfits you differently.
Physical, Fire, Frost and Light, Bleed and Rot. Every foe has a weakness to find.
Fall, and you wake on the shore of the Mere at dawn, remembering. No one knows who is pulling you back.
Each deeper Echo is darker and harder. Lakatoth starts further ahead.
Earn achievements, track your favorite cards and every run, and master your cards to unlock their Gilded versions.
Every foe shows what it means to do next. Raise your guard, or strike first and make it count.

Crimson frame
The cards every hero begins with. A plain frame, no effects.
Stone grey frame
The backbone of every deck, offered after most fights.
Spring green frame
Stronger and stranger. A slow shine runs along the ribbon.
Blue frame
Build-defining cards, wrapped in a soft blue glow.
Orange frame
Won only from bosses. A pulsing glow, a foil sweep and rising embers.
Gold frame
Gifts of the faithful Lumen, one per act. Rays and motes of living light.
