About This Game

Aeterna is a world shaped by myth, ancient forces, celestial powers, and the echoes of forgotten ages. Every card is a fragment of history — every release deepens the legend.

Legends of Aeterna is a digital card game set in the Aeterna universe — created by Alexander Martini as a long-term project spanning 19+ expansions over more than a decade. Each set is designed and conceived by Martini, brought to life with original artworks and AI.

Build decks from dragons, gods, titans, cosmic machines, and primal elemental forces. Master evolving mechanics as the lore expands across fire, cosmos, ice, and beyond. Compete in ranked play, explore solo campaigns, and collect AI-crafted artwork that tells the story of a world in transformation.

How It Works — The Fire System
Legends of Aeterna replaces traditional life points and mana with a single, unified resource: Fire. Fire is your life, your power, and your identity. When your Fire goes out — you cease to exist.
🔥
The Fire System
Each player starts with 15 Fire. Fire is both your life essence and your resource — spend it to summon beings, cast rituals, and shape the battlefield.
Fire Kindling · Fire Drain · Fire Redirect · Fire Transformation — four ways Fire flows through the game.
⚔️
VAL & GRD — No Attack/Defense
Instead of ATK/DEF, every being has Valor (VAL) and Guard (GRD). VAL represents inner strength and willpower — it amplifies Fire Drain. GRD represents stability and protection — it reduces Fire loss.
🐉
Four Card Types
Beings — Dragons, archetypes, spirits that persist on the field. Rituals — One-time powerful effects. Locations — Permanent field modifiers. States — Conditions that alter beings.
States: Blazing (+1 Fire/turn) · Glowing (−1 Fire loss) · Consuming (−1 Fire, +2 VAL) · Extinguished (inactive)
🌈
The Prisma System — 6 Colors
Red (Fire, Will) · Blue (Mind, Illusion) · Green (Nature, Growth) · Black (Shadow, Sacrifice) · White (Light, Order) · Violet (Dream, Chaos) — each color is not a cost, but an expression of consciousness.
🕊️
Conflict Without Violence
No life points. No damage. No attacks. Instead: Fire Drain, Fire Overload, Fire Redirect, Fire Consumption, and State Changes. Beings don't die — they extinguish when their Fire reaches 0.
🏁
Turn Structure & Victory
Kindling Phase → Draw Phase → Main Phase (play up to 2 cards) → Resonance Phase. Win by extinguishing your opponent's Fire, reaching 25 Fire, or completing a Transformation card.
Deck: min. 30 cards · Starting hand: 5 · Escalation after turn 15 · Flammenende after turn 20
