Dawnspire: Prelude is a team-based online action RPG in a fantasy setting, focusing on teamplay, tactics and player skill. The players create characters from a growing number of classes, then go on to battle online in the game mode Relic Conquest. Two teams each consisting of up to eight players fight for three magical relics with different effects, each team trying to bring them to their own base. A round lasts 20 minutes, or until one team has captured all three relics.
Among the classes are the agile deep elf Reaver who can mold her very skeleton into deadly weapons, the fearsome Aramasi Shadowblade who can move instantly between shadows, striking swiftly with a poisoned blade, the Templar melds her very soul to her near-sentient enchanted sword, and the orcish Witch can summon the forces of nature and channel the very energies of life and death.
