Welcome back, wanderer! With the eleventh day, I present you with a little tale of a sad and lonely tree.
Alone and disheveled, it stood on the top of a hill, year after year. No-one or nothing paid it much attention. It tried to take part in the yearly ritual of the Yuletides, but to no avail. Finally, in the first year of the Drowning Star, it was noticed and plucked up by a wandering guardian of the wild. Now, wielded with pride and honor, it has finally found its place in the world
This limited edition staff is now available to unlock in Spellsworn - by completing a SINGLE games of Spellsworn between NOW and January 6th at 17:00 CET and you'll be granted permanent access to this weatherworn and resilient staff of the Yuletide..
I hope you do good to this little tree. It has seen and heard much during its lonely perch on the hill. You are holding a true relic in your hands! (So take care of yourselves and your weak, brittle trees)

Spellsworn is an Online Player vs. Player Arena Game. It is a place where wizards and magical creatures use their wits and spells to wage war in an everchanging arena. Prove yourself in the arena and battle with all who dare call themselves your peers. Victory and pride outweighs reason and diplomacy, thus any debate between wizards is indistinguishable from outright warfare. Alliances will be broken, lives will be lost and the world will crumble. Will you remain, towering over the ashes?

Spellsworn is heavily inspired by classic arena games such as DotA, League of Legends, Super Smash Bros. and traditional sumo-wrestling. Most of all however; Spellsworn is inspired by the user-created mod Warlock, made in Warcraft III.

• Spells

Each round you, the spellsworn, will recieve some coins to fund your battle. A shop stocked full of spells will serve as your arsenal as you prepare for the next battle round. It's imperative that you choose your spells carefully, as they may be completely countered by your enemy if you're not careful. There's very little grace to be had when standing with your pants down and no way of counterattacking your enemy's barrage of destruction.

• Game modes

There's plenty of ways to play Spellsworn. If you enjoy playing in teams and making up sick combos and rediculous plays with friends then maybe 2v2, 3v3 or 2v2v2 is for you. If you're more of a strong independent lonewolf then 1v1 is also fully supported (including all of the FFA variations, i.e 1v1v1v1 and so on). In the future we're hoping to include workshop support for your own scripted gamemodes and playstyles.

• Matchmaking and progression

Spellsworn will definitely have a competitive side to it - which means ranked plays and matchmaking is a must. It will likely follow the Elo standard that is used in many established e-sports games today. There will be a leveling system as well which will progress as you complete matches. Stats will be recorded during each session so that you can follow your progression along and track how well you're doing compared to past games.
