The world of Raymond E. Feist

The world behind the name.

The port of Krondor, coastal Crydee, elven Elvandar and the dwarven Gray Towers. Places with roots of their own, giving your travels through Midkemia a sense of place.

We draw our atmosphere chiefly from Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master: the gradual discovery of a wider world, learning a craft and encountering different peoples. Custom professions, character progression and quests bring those surroundings into the game.

You do not need to have read the books. Readers will recognise familiar names; everyone else can discover them at their own pace.

Life in Midkemia

Beyond the city gates.

Custom character progression, familiar places and room for different ways to play.

From apprentice to specialist

Your choice of profession matters. It shapes what your character learns and the abilities you can develop.

Midkemia adds its own professions, experience and levels to Ultima Online’s skills. Mages, conjurers, necromancers, rangers, priests, warriors, artisans and thieves have different training options.

Choose your profession and four starting skills when creating your character. Trainers guide your further progress and specialisations, such as a swordmaster, beastmaster or battle mage. Your profession is permanent, so explore the options first.

Krondor, Crydee, Elvandar

Human cities, elven forests and dwarven settlements. The novels give these places an identity of their own.

In Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master, familiar surroundings gradually open into a much wider world. Alongside magic and conflict, teachers, friendships and relations between peoples matter. That is the atmosphere we draw on.

The shard has its own versions of Krondor, Crydee, Elvandar and the Gray Towers. The novels inspire the setting; your character follows a path of their own. The Czech shard’s roots go back to 2004.

At the forge and on the road

Crafting, training and completing quests belong to the world as much as combat and magic.

Artisans work with materials and make equipment, with specialisations in metalwork and woodcarving. Rangers have an affinity for animals as well as bows, mages for spells and warriors for weapons. Different skills give a shared expedition purpose.

Quests can involve conversations, finding and delivering items, or escorting characters. Some unfold over several stages and award experience or other rewards. It pays to listen to the people you meet.

The world's roots

Where it all began.

These words greeted players on the original Czech server's website. For some, they bring back memories. For others, they are the opening line of a world yet to be discovered. Midkemia Classic carries its roots forward, with room for new stories.
