Introduction

WELCOME TO HORIZONS!

A new world has risen among role-playing games, one that will usher in the next era of

online play. It is an immense world where fantasy and reality blur — an epic expanse

where thousands of online players create and seek out their own Horizons.

Welcome to the real-time world of Istaria, a boundless fantasy frontier offering a level of

detail never before witnessed. Amid gorgeous landscapes, a diverse population builds and

protects homes, villages and lives.

This land of possibility offers a staggering array of choices ranging from race to physical

attributes to career selection. But one astounding option hovers far above the rest: the

opportunity to play, for the first time, as a Dragon.

It is a world where fantasies will be realized… of master craftsmen, established guild leaders

and majestic winged beasts. Weaponry will be built and enchanted. Horrific evil will be

confronted. Heroes will be made.

A new world has risen. It has no equal.
