≫ WHAT WE BECOME: SURVIVOR STORIES APPLICATIONS ≪

  • Applications for What We Become: Survivor Stories are currently on hold while we work on creating our second wave of combat tests.

    What We Become: Survivor Stories is a series of bite-sized scenarios meant to test our new and improved combat system in action! Our first wave contained 5 different scenarios, all taking place within the What We Become universe. Our second wave will contain 5 more scenarios. If you've been waiting to play on the server, now's your chance!

    Additionally, each scenario has a limited number of slots for each role in the party, as well as an overall participation limit. If you apply for a role/scenario that is already full, you will be asked to apply for a different role/scenario. You can view the number of slots remaining for the current scenario on its respective forum post, linked above.

    Make sure to check out our latest newsletter if you haven't yet! It has lots of information about our upcoming lore, among other things.

Your Silence Is the Answer

I have lost count of how many times I have repeated the words as I descend into trance.
I have forgotten the world...
My body...
My name...
...Perfect.
This is where She likes to hide,
and this is where She reveals herself to me.

"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."

Tell me your will... I am your Champion am I not? Why have you left me in quiet? I have served you faithfully.

"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."

Right. Ego. It must be shed.
You needn't say what hasn't to be spoken.
Your silence IS the answer.


"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."

Still my mind is aflame with burning questions
Mistress of Shadows, Queen of Illusion, Goddess of Secrets...
What is thy will?


"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."

East. You keep saying East.
We have journeyed East, as you commanded.
Book? What book?
Yes. Yes! Yes! I must forge the book.


"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."

There is much to learn. Yes... Yes, I hear you...
A secret enobles it's wielder if they are worthy. If they are not worthy, if they have stolen it, it becomes a curse...
A burden that will destroy it's owner.
The Secret makes alive Knowledge, and makes it Just.
A Secret is POWER...
It is not lightly unmade...


"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."

I walk in the shadows as you command.

"Absconditus, Abditus, Arca-"

The rustling of leaves breaks the spell.

"Your presence is felt, intruder..."

I begin to stand...
Fingernails pressing into the skin of my sweaty hands...

Eyes struggling to see in the twilight in the woods...
Was it the wind?

"Reveal yourself to me..."
