Illarion
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Illarion - Carve yourself a new life
Illarion is an online game where genuine role playing is enforced. The main design principle is a focus on the interaction with other players. All the player characters you will encounter during your time here are living, breathing inhabitants of the mysterious world of Illarion. Each character has its own past, goals, strengths, flaws and personality. Experience glorious adventures as noble knight or live the life of a hardworking craftsman, acquisitive merchant or charismatic priest of the gods.

The World Illarion
A mature high fantasy setting where elves meet orcs is placed in a persistent, open world with tangible lore. Sixteen gods are worshipped by the citizens of three factions. Noble Cadomyr, wealthy Galmair or wise Runewick - whose side will you join?
Your Adventure
The decisions you take will impact and shape the world around you. Your actions will determine the events that one day fill the pages of Illarion's history books. Immerse yourself and let your character become what you want.
Free and open source
Illarion is free to play without any cost. The game is run by a non-profit organisation and is maintained by a staff of highly motivated volunteers without financial reimbursement. The client, server and game code is open source and released under the licences GPLv3 and AGPLv3.
No limits
Your character won't be locked inside a fixed class design like most MMORPGs do. You'll be able to sculpt your own character and its destiny is limited only by your choices, imagination, and game rules. The game features a skill-based levelling system, allowing players to compel their own unique gaming experience.
Immersive mechanics
The game mechanics employed keep the balance between complexity, innovation and motivation of players. Illarion shows a classic, slow-paced gameplay with isometric retro graphics while still using modern technologies.
