The Waylanders

The Waylanders is a fantasy RPG inspired by Celtic mythology. After the first meeting between the Celts and their gods, the Tuatha de Danaan, ends in disaster, a battle against a god leaves you near death and untethered from time. You return to a land affected by corrupting magick, where factions fight over a divided kingdom’s throne, then find yourself thrust into Medieval Spain.

Story and choices

You can support either the immature but rightful heir or the pragmatic general in their bid for the throne. Your choices shape alliances, friendships and romances, and decisions made in one era have consequences in the other, leading to multiple endings. The story draws on the Celtic myths of Galicia and follows a society of different religions, human cultures, and mortal and immortal races, including Mourians, Werewolves and Goblins.

Two eras of Galicia

Travel between Celtic and Medieval Galicia, exploring more than 50 regions filled with quests, secrets and enemies across both eras. Over a thousand years of cultural change transform the land: under Christianity, magic is fading and religion is everywhere. You can discover what became of your immortal allies and the souls of mortal friends, and whether the corrupt magicks surrounding your first meeting with the Tuatha de Danaan led to the destruction of the Celtic world.

Party and combat

Gather a party from nine mortal and immortal companions. Learn their histories, build bonds through special missions and pursue romances. In real-time combat with pause, you can select your party members’ spells and abilities to fight bandits, beasts and legendary monsters.

Party class combinations determine which formations you can use, with offensive and defensive abilities that change how you approach combat. As you level up, unlock classes and explore, you discover more formations and abilities, including Daggertip, Phalanx, Golem and Conclave. Weapons, armour and trinkets provide equipment for your party.

Character creation

Create your character from five playable races based on Celtic mythology, with backgrounds including Mourian, Semi-Fomorian and Werewolf, each with a different origin. Choose from six basic classes and specialize into one of 30 advanced classes.
