Fighters begin their journey under the banner of the Wyrdguard or the Steel Talons, depending on where they first draw a blade.

Faelindral: The Wyrdguard’s Trial
New Fighters starting in Faelindral report to Commander Elydris Stormbough, who has recruits prove themselves under Captain Vaelric Ironbark. The trial arms and tests you against the undead and Fellstone Orcs threatening the forest floor, building standing with the Wyrdguard (and souring it with the Fellstone Orcs) along the way. See the full breakdown on the Fighter Starter Quest (Faelindral) page.
Night Harbor: The Steel Talons’ Garrison
Fighters starting in Night Harbor instead answer to Fedamius Steele III, who passes recruits along to his sister Lurinda Steele and her son Elrind for further training, earning early armor pieces like the Steel Talon Trainee Tunic along the way. Full details on the Fighter Starter Quest (Night Harbor) page.
Tips for New Fighters
Both starter chains are solo-friendly and low risk, so there’s no wrong choice between zones early on — pick whichever starting city matches the character concept or race you’re playing. Either path sets you up with your first pieces of gear before you’re ready to head into the wider world of Eth-Ur.
