[ HELP ARCHIVE ]
Questions, answered plainly.
Everything new arrivals ask before their first login.
Getting started
What is Autumn Twilight?
A persistent text-based roleplaying game set on Krynn during the War of the Lance. Pick an archetype, pick a faction — or stay independent — and make your mark on Ansalon.
Do I need to download anything?
No — Autumn Twilight runs in the browser on desktop or phone, and one character follows you across devices.
Factions & the gods
How do I choose a faction?
You pick during character creation, or hold off and stay independent. Your faction sets your starting reputation track and which zones treat you as an ally versus a target.
Can I switch factions later?
Not casually — faction standing is meant to mean something. A few world-unique paths exist for defectors, but they cost more than they save.
What's the deal with the three moons?
Every arcane mage draws power from one of three moons. Solinari and Lunitari are visible to anyone who looks up. Nuitari isn't — you only see it if you've sworn a Black Robe's oath.
Archetypes & progression
How many archetypes are there?
Thirteen starting archetypes, from Fighter to Expert, plus eight specialist schools of High Sorcery for Wizards who pass the Test.
Can I change my archetype after creation?
Wizards branch into one of eight schools as they advance, but your core archetype is a real choice, not a costume — pick with intent.
World & combat
Is combat real-time or turn-based?
Real-time. No queues, no lobbies — cross into contested ground and the fight starts the moment you do.
Does the world keep going while I'm offline?
Yes. Territory holds or falls, seasons turn, and the calendar advances whether you're logged in or not.
Account & access
Is there a native mobile app?
Not yet — a mobile-native wrapper is on the roadmap (see the Devlog). The browser version already works fine on phones in the meantime.
I forgot my password. What do I do?
