The skies above Batesian are restless.

Dragons are waking. Magic is humming just beneath the surface. And across the realm, Kin from every walk of life are preparing to take flight…

😱 Drakonym Launches in just 3 days! 😱

We’re kicking things off with a special launch party livestream at 2:30 PM BST / 9:30 AM EDT / 6:30 AM PDT on Tuesday, 5th August!


We’ll be revealing never-before-seen content, diving into the dragons, lore, and mechanics, and showing off some truly magical items - from BackerKit-exclusive rewards to limited-edition handmade treasures!

(Plus a few surprises we’re still keeping under wraps!)

And that’s not all…

✨ See Drakonym in Action

What better way to celebrate the launch than by watching the game come to life?

Once our livestream wraps, we’ll be raiding into the brilliant HelloIt’sKolo’s channel as she dives into Akeroth live and shares an exclusive first look at never-before-seen Drakonym content 👀

Next up? Scale and Soul - a one-shot adventure hosted by TableStory where dragons soar and bonds are tested. Featuring the incredible talents of Drakoniques, Emme Montgomery, TroopersJP, HelloIt’sKolo, and their Herald, Pumpkinberry!

✨ In Case You Missed It...

New to the project or catching up? These updates will get you up to speed before launch:

👉 Meet the Kin - Learn about the cultures, traits, and origins of some of the 12 Kin in Drakonym -from celestial warriors to mischievous mousfolk.

👉 Choose Your Class - No locked builds. No fixed archetypes. Whether you're a divine Acolyte or stealthy Veil, Drakonym’s Class system is designed to flex to your story, not box you in.

👉 Shape Your Background -  explore how your character’s past influences your play. From Outcasts to Nobles, each Background adds personal stakes to your journey.

👉 Meet the Dragons - From the graceful Moon Dragons to the thunderous rage of the Pyres, take a first look at all eight dragon families - which one is calling to you?

👉 How Dragon Bonding Works - Your bond grows when you act in sync with your dragon’s emotional heart - growing stronger through trust, or breaking when that trust is lost.

👉 Craft Spells On The Fly -  Use techniques and augmentation to create custom spells and use our full deck of Spell Cards to build a personal spellbook!

👉 Play Your Way: Solo, GM-less, or Party Play -  Built to fit your playstyle, Drakonym adapts to your table - whether you play solo, GM-less, or with a full party.
