WHAT WORLD WILL YOU MAKE?

Welcome to a vast, social sandbox MMO inspired by the legends of the medieval era. Here, myths are real, ghosts exist, and magic is unquestioned. In this immense, open-world playground, you choose the role you want to play. Immerse yourself along with thousands of other players as you explore the land, build your home, forge your reputation, and craft your own stories.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME

Travel in the relative safety of the Heartlands and find the perfect plot of land on which to build your home. Protected by the grace of the Divine, your village is a safe harbor where your Clan can grow and prosper.

Everything in this world is produced by the players' hands and skills. Your village needs clothes, walls, food, flowers, and prayers. Your Clan, weapons, and armor. Others require tools, materials, or mysterious reagents. It’s easy to find your place and play your part in this breathing world.

EXPLORE UNCHARTED LANDS

Adventure awaits as you set foot into the Wilderness. Here, you’ll battle evil beings, uncover mysteries of an ancient and wondrous past, and square off against rival Clans as you struggle for power, position, and resources.

A word of warning: The further you journey from home, the stranger and more dangerous this world becomes. The glory, bounty, and secrets you bring back will enrich your entire Clan. How much challenge are you willing to accept? That’s for you to decide.

EVERYONE MATTERS

Skinning a basilisk, choosing between war and peace, picking flowers: it all matters. In a fully player-driven world, all play styles connect and complement each other. Join the community and be part of the stories about to take shape.

DISCOVER PAX DEI

Enter a medieval fantasy world inspired by medieval myths and shaped by social bonds, sandbox freedom, and the persistent world of an MMO.

We’re constantly expanding the game both in terms of content and systems.

Here is a snapshot of what’s currently available for our players to enjoy.

Explore a vast world - Covering around 300km² (116 mi²), the lands stretch across five Provinces and offer 40 unique home valleys for you to settle.
Harvest and craft away - Everything in the game is made by players. Travel across different biomes, harvest dozens of resources, and unlock hundreds of recipes already available!
Build your home - Place your plot and claim a corner of the world to yourself. With dozens of building pieces to work with, the only limit to creating the home of your dreams is your imagination… and our structural integrity system.
The tools of the trade - Set up a market stall on your plot to showcase goods, crafted items, or rare resources. Use the gold you bring back from your adventures to trade with other players.
Call the Divine's favor - Spend Grace to perform Miracles providing you with powerful--or practical--abilities and bonuses.
United we stand - Form a Clan to pool resources, combine plots, build an entire village--or a massive fortress! You’ll need friends and allies to storm dungeons or clash with other Clans.
Discord-powered chat system - Link your Discord account and keep the conversation going even outside the game. ‘want to check what your Pax Dei friends are up to? Just open Discord, et voilà!
Craft your own role - With hundreds of items for mixing and matching and skills to master, you will have no lack of choices in deciding your own play style.
It is dangerous to go alone - Mysterious ruins and hidden dungeons filled with treasures await… guarded by merciless foes. Don’t wander away from home without a party and the proper equipment.
Welcome to fight club - Divine peace holds no sway in Lyonesse. This contested zone offers valuable resources, but at a cost. Full PvP rules apply, with no safety beyond those you can trust. Enter wisely: here, death carries consequences.
More to come - Our team is hard at work fixing, polishing, and expanding the game. Join our Discord server to follow our progress!
