Classes represent a character's training, talents, and role within the world. They determine the abilities available to your character, their access to magic, and their combat role on the battlefield.
Whether you are a heavily armoured warrior holding the line, a wizard wielding destructive magic, or a priest calling upon divine power, your class forms the foundation of your character's capabilities throughout the game.
Each class offers a unique playstyle and grants access to different equipment, spells, and special abilities. While your race and culture help shape who your character is, your class defines what they are capable of accomplishing in battles.
At character creation, every player must select a class. New players begin their first event as a Fighter, allowing them to learn the game's core mechanics before exploring more specialised options.

When selecting a class, consider:
What your fighting style will be.
Whether you prefer combat, magic, or support roles.
