Dark Relic: Prelude

Dark Relic: Prelude is a high-fantasy sandpark MMORPG from Triad Game Studios set in the world of Neithus, where players fight for their Regent to claim the power of the Relics of Majice. It blends classic RPG leveling with a flexible skill tree that lets players experiment before committing to a permanent build, and supports both PvP conflict and guild-based politics across five continents. Coverage from 2018 described the project as possibly abandoned after a long content drought, but the developer's Facebook page has continued to post development updates as recently as October 2025, leaving its current status genuinely unclear.
