On Harihara, those filled with the spirit of the Goddess labor to shape nature itself. These two continents are where our

mighty ocean. Search far and wide for hidden treasures.
There is a conspiracy that is lurking in the shadows of this world.

Whether you are training your cannons on an enemy ship or bombarding enemy castle ramparts with a siege engine,
you will be uncovering the secrets of the awakening lands, the Lost Continent, and its former denizens. So, revive the
legacy of Delphinad, the greatest city ever to exist. Retrace the tracks left by the ancient heroes and gods who had no
choice but to travel to the Lost Continent to destroy it.

Races & Factions

ArcheAge is home to six major races: the spiritual Nuians, secretive Elves, and crafty Dwarves share the western continent, while the nomadic Firran, cunning Harani, and fearsome Warborn inhabit the continent to the east.
Loose ties connect the neighboring races, but allegiances are fluid, forever complicated by the whims of pirate factions sailing, trading, and pillaging at will.

Nuians

Called the Conquerors of the Continent, Nuians possess a deeply spiritual culture that revolves around worshipping Nui, the Goddess of the Hereafter. They revere the traditions, beauty, and harmony of their fallen kingdom, and fight fearlessly to bring these traits to their new land.

Elves

Elves seclude themselves deep in the forest, avoiding other races as much as possible.

They feel the ultimate honor is vengeance for their past defeats.

Dwarves

Known for being independent and inventive, Dwarves largely withdrew from the rest of the world following the Demon War. But with the recent rise of their old foes, the Warborn, the Dwarves are returning to Erenor places and politics, bringing new technology with them. Most people assume the Dwarves simply want to keep the Warborn in check, but Dwarven motivation—and ambition—are rarely so simplistic.
