Dornhald

Dornhald is an RPG set in the ruins of a fallen dwarven kingdom.

Once a mighty stronghold beneath the mountains, Dornhald was destroyed during a devastating war against the goblins. Its halls lie in ruins, its people scattered or slain. You are one of the few surviving dwarves, struggling to endure in a hostile world filled with monsters, forgotten machinery, and ancient dangers.

Explore the remnants of the kingdom, fight for survival, and begin the long path toward reclaiming Dornhald’s lost glory. Face dangerous enemies, grow stronger through talents and equipment, and uncover what remains of dwarven civilization buried beneath stone and ash.
