About Us

abjurer.xyz was founded in 2019 by a team of fantasy RPG enthusiasts and magic-themed content creators who wanted to build a game where players could truly immerse themselves in the role of a powerful mage. Based in Portland, Oregon, our team of 12 developers, writers, artists, and designers is passionate about crafting rich, magical worlds where spellcasting feels intuitive, meaningful, and fun. Our story began when our co-founders, Clara Bennett and Ethan Torres, met while playing a popular fantasy MMO. They dreamed of a game where magic wasn’t just a set of abilities to spam in combat, but a core part of the experience—where players could experiment with different spell combinations, customize their magical style, and interact with the world through their powers. They left their jobs, assembled a team of like-minded creators, and set out to build abjurer.xyz as a platform for this vision. At abjurer.xyz, our flagship game, Arcane Ascension, is a fantasy magic RPG set in the realm of Eldermyst, a world where magic flows through every creature and landscape. Players choose a magic school (fire, water, earth, air, healing, or shadow), create a custom mage, and embark on quests to master their powers, uncover ancient secrets, and protect Eldermyst from dark forces. What sets us apart is our spellcasting system: instead of predefined abilities, players combine runes to create unique spells—for example, mixing a fire rune with a projectile rune creates a fireball, while combining fire with a healing rune creates a regenerative flame. This system encourages experimentation and lets players tailor their magic to their playstyle. Our team brings diverse expertise to the table. Our lead game designer, Maya Chen, specializes in creating deep, customizable gameplay systems that balance complexity and accessibility. Our writer, Lila Moon, crafts rich lore for Eldermyst—from the history of the magic schools to the personalities of the realm’s NPCs—making the world feel alive and immersive. Our art director, Marcus Reed, designs stunning magical visuals—from glowing runes to epic spell effects—that make casting magic feel powerful and satisfying. Our community manager, Jake Taylor, fosters a welcoming environment for mage enthusiasts, hosting regular Q&As with developers and organizing in-game magic tournaments. Since launching Arcane Ascension in 2021, we’ve released two major expansions and dozens of content updates, all inspired by player feedback. Our community has grown to over 300,000 players worldwide, with active guilds, fan art, and role-playing communities. We’re proud that our game has attracted both casual RPG fans and hardcore magic enthusiasts—our difficulty curve is designed to be accessible to new players while offering depth for veterans. We also prioritize accessibility, with features like adjustable spell complexity and colorblind-friendly UI options. We value our community deeply. Every update is shaped by player input: for example, we added a "spell crafting workshop" where players can test new rune combinations after users requested a safe space to experiment, and we expanded on the shadow magic school based on popular demand. Our forums and Discord server are hubs for magic-related discussions, where players share spell builds, theorycraft new combinations, and connect with the team. We also partner with fantasy authors and artists to create supplementary content (e.g., short stories, concept art) that expands on Eldermyst’s lore. Looking to the future, we plan to expand Arcane Ascension with new magic schools, realms, and a cooperative mode where players can team up to cast powerful combo spells. We also aim to launch a mobile version of the game to reach more players, and to develop a tabletop RPG companion that lets players bring their in-game mages to physical tabletop sessions. Our goal is to become the leading name in fantasy magic RPGs, known for our innovative spellcasting system, rich worldbuilding, and vibrant community. Whether you’re a lifelong fantasy fan, a RPG enthusiast, or just someone who’s ever dreamed of wielding magic, abjurer.xyz invites you to step into the realm of Eldermyst. Create your mage, master the arcane arts, and embark on an epic journey—your magical destiny awaits.
