Ten years have passed since the sudden and mysterious end of a hidden war that led the world to collapse. The ancient Sanctuaries, once bastions of pride and security, are now nothing but dust and ashes. The old figures have fallen into battle for betrayals, duels or lack of will. The ideals that many fought for, today are just empty slogans.

The Aurora is approaching and with it a new awakening. Deviants sleep among the humans, unaware that in the shadow of the night, those who already woke up are doing the preparations for a new rebirth.

The light reveals four factions believed to be missing, Corporation, The Abyssal, Chimera and Acracia, which gradually unfold on a new battlefield, preparing for the abrupt dawn that is looming.

Order, supremacy, peace or freedom?

The factions are looking for new recruits, humans who have awakened and that are willing to join this crusade for directing the humanity’s future.

A Struggle begins with each player putting their respective Sanctuaries into play and then drawing 6 cards. Then, if a player wants to, he or she may shuffle his or her Hand back to draw a new Hand of 6 cards. If that player wishes to repeat the process, he or she may do so, with the condition of drawing 1 card less each time he or she changes hands.

A player is then chosen at random to start the game. Whenever a player takes a turn, he or she must do so by following these Steps:

1. Communion

Every card controlled by the Active Player is untapped by putting them in vertical position. Then, any Volition Point left from the Active Player’s last turn is eliminated. Finally, every Technology controlled by the Active Player loses a Durability Point.

2. Meditation

First, Enhancements and Technologies controlled by the Active Player generate Volition points according to their printed numbers. Then, every effect that depends on the beginning of the turn triggers. Finally, the Active Player draws a card.

During the first turn of the game, the Passive Player’s Sanctuary also generates Volition and the Active Player does not draw a card.

3. Volition Harvest

During his or her Volition Harvest, the Active Player may play any number of cards and activate any ability that can be activated. Keep into account that you can’t play more that one Enhancement card each turn.

4. Duel

This step is optional and the Active Player may choose to skip it. To start the Duel Step, tap an untapped Character you control and challenge an opposing Character. The controller of the challenged Character gets 2 Volition points. Both the challenger and the challenged Characters are considered to be engaged in personal conflict and deal Duel Damage to each other according to their respective Forces. At the end of the Duel Step, if only one of the two Characters remains in the Struggle, then its controller has won the Duel. The player that lost the Duel draws a card.

Both players can play Manipulation cards during this Step. Characters can’t challenge to a Duel in the same turn they entered the Struggle.

5. Combat

This step is optional and the Active Player may choose to skip it. The Active Player selects any number of untapped Characters he or she controls and declare them attackers. You must tap Characters declared as attackers. The Passive Player then declare his or her blockers. Blocking is optional and can be done by simply declaring any number of untapped Characters as blockers. Each Character may block or be blocked by only one Character.
Then, attackers and their respective blockers deal Combat Damage to each other at the same time. Characters destroyed during Combat are removed from the Struggle and taken to their owner’s Limbo. Finally, each blocked Character that remained in the Struggle deals Sanctuary Damage equal to its Force minus the Force of its blocker. Simultaneously, each unblocked attacker deals Sanctuary Damage equal to its Force.

Both players can play Manipulation cards during this Step. Characters can’t attack in the same turn they entered the Struggle.

6. Contemplation

This Step is defined as the instant in which the Active Player’s turn end. Both players can play Manipulation cards.
