The Home Team starts on the left edge of the map, deep in the ruins of an ancient civilization that worshiped the rune-marked Halcyon Well found there. This energy well is an immense source of raw power—power that can be harnessed and transported inside large crystals called Vains.

When the match begins, the Home Team is already in the process of "charging" their Vain crystal with Halcyon energy. But the enemy is hellbent on destroying that Vain and taking the power of the well for themselves.


The Away Team starts on the right edge of the map, having emerged from a massive transport vehicle. This band of battle-ready travelers has ventured into the Halcyon Fold for one purpose: Take possession of the Halcyon Well to recharge their Vain crystal, which is dangerously low on power. If that means destroying a force already camped at the Halcyon Well, so be it.


The massive "batteries" of the day, Vain crystals are most civilizations' primary source of power. Ranging from tiny to monumental, Vain crystals power everything from household amenities to entire military installations and devices of war. But like any battery, these Vains are depleted with use. The only way to recharge them is by finding and camping at a Halcyon Well, which serves as a robust geyser of energy when the time is right. In the Halcyon Fold, the mission is clear: Shatter your enemy's Vain source of military power and seize (or maintain) the well for your own devices.
