Veilborn
Gather a party of five, step through the Veil, and fight your way out with everything you can carry. Fall, and it stays where you fell.

The run
Thirty minutes.
Get out alive.
Every expedition is short, dangerous and never the same twice. What you carry out is yours. What you drop is anyone's.
-
Gather your party
Up to five heroes set out from the Veilhold. Short a few? Companions of the classes you lack fill the empty places, and they fight, heal, taunt and eat their own food.
-
Step through the Veil
Each run is a freshly drawn stretch of the Grass Lands: camps and lairs, patrols walking the trails, rare wanderers, and a boss asleep in its arena.
-
Fight for what's there
Packs notice you together and hunt as one. Two rival parties are after the same loot, and they will come for yours.
-
Make it home
Portals open at five, nine and thirteen minutes. Hold the ring for ten seconds and you're home with everything in your bag. Fall for good, and the bag stays behind.
Between runs
Build the hero the Veil can't kill
Everything you bring home makes the next expedition go deeper.
Twelve masteries
Swords bleed, maces crush, longbows hit harder from far off. Train a weapon or an armour by fighting with it, and pick a perk at levels 5, 10 and 15.
Nine trades
Mine, chop, gather and fish out in the run, then smith, brew and cook back home on a bench that keeps working while you're away.
The Contract Board
The Watch, the Circle and the Guild post work every hour. Carry three at a time, earn their standing, and follow their stories.
Down, not out
Fall while your party still stands and you go down instead. Ten seconds at your side brings you back, if they can hold the line that long.
Loot worth keeping
Every piece rolls its own stats and rarity. Wear it, sell it at the Market, or break it down to learn how it was made.
Classes
Five heroes. One party.
A tank, a healer and the damage between them. Six abilities each, learned from level 1 to 10.
Tank
Knight
Hold the line.
An armored juggernaut who absorbs punishment through sheer health and heavy armor, holding the line while allies strike from safety.

From the Veilhold
The gate opens
Veilborn now installs and patches itself. The launcher checks for updates every time it starts and only downloads the files that changed.
Levels 1 to 10
The Grass Lands are split into the Rat Warrens and the Veilbound Wilds, each with its own monsters, mini-boss and boss. Six abilities a class, twelve masteries and four talent trees each.
Companions fill your party
Set out with fewer than five and the empty places are filled with heroes of the classes you lack. They fight, heal, taunt and eat their own food.
