Erannorth is the name of the world setting: an alternative Earth, where every myth and legend is real and set in a post-medieval era ready to transition to an age of enlightenment and steampunk wonders. It’s also a fully customizable and moddable Card/RPG game system you can mold with ease to your wishes by editing plain text files.
Erannorth Chronicles is an old-school Card Game with tabletop RPG-like progression. A sandbox experience with no main story, designed to give you absolute freedom and endless character customization. You can play any character you want, from a powerful supernatural creature to a low commoner.
To succeed In your adventures in Erannorth, you must successfully combine RPG character elements and progression with trading card game mechanics. Unlike traditional Card Games, though, your Cards have meaning and grow in power as you gain additional skill ranks, attributes, and perks like spells and abilities in an RPG game. And unlike traditional RPG games, you will fight your battles using your custom Deck of Cards, which you can change and adapt freely in the middle of the fight.
Game Features
- In a sense, Erannorth is the mad scientist’s lab and theorycrafter’s paradise – or hell, where you can build hundreds, if not thousands, of different decks and character combinations and *make* them work for you. If you see a card, and all you think is: ‘hey, that’s too weak, and not: ‘how could I build a character around that?’ – chances are Erannorth is the wrong game for you. Similarly, if having many choices is something you find overwhelming, then you most likely won’t enjoy this game at all.
- Create your unique Hero by choosing from 13 Organizations, 15 Species (with over 50 variants), and 15 Classes (with over 100 specializations), each with different Skills, Perks, Starting Decks, and Card Pools.
- If you feel overwhelmed, jump into the action instantly with one of the 20 pre-generated characters or roll a random character.
- Your Skills will affect both your card pool and the effectiveness of your cards, while your Perks will let you increase specific card effects and tailor your cards around your build. There are no weak or strong cards, as cards have no meaning outside your build.
- No tedious Unlock systems. Play the hero you want, whenever you want.
- Be a mighty supernatural predator or a lowly human struggling for survival.
- Build hundreds of different decks and collect over 4300+ cards.

- Adapt your deck and tactics to gain an advantage and overcome the ever-changing leylines. Versatility is the key to life and death.
- Experiment with different Action card combinations and overcome 500 unique enemies that can level up “indefinitely.”
