Become the Archprelate of the Holy Church and act as a shining beacon for the disciples of Good and Light. Head the Ministry of War of one of the great city-states, commanding legions of other players against your city`s foes. Watch over the bounty of the forests of Achaea as a member of the Council of Oakstone. Rule a city-state as an elected councilor, leading them in the name of good, of evil, or whatever you choose. These and more such challenges await you.

Success in politics is considered by some to be among the greatest achievements possible. Signifying the respect of your fellow mortals, it offers one an increased level of power over and responsibility for the members of whatever organization you hold a position of power in. It is no coincidence that every mortal who has Ascended into Godhood has led one of the great cities.

For many, the thrill of rising to positions of respect and authority amongst their peers is one of Achaea`s greatest draws. The player-run organisations of Achaea provide exciting opportunities to compete in ways that are wholly dependent on dynamic, ever-changing relationships and situations. Through wit and deed, through public debates and back-room manoeuvres, natural-born leaders and masters of intrigue rise to the top in Achaea`s politics..

While in the land of Achaea you will quickly find that you must obtain material wealth, usually in the form of golden sovereigns. There are a number of ways to earn this gold, ranging from simple quests to producing goods that your fellow Achaeans may find useful, to fulfilling assassination contracts, and so on.

Commodities in Achaea are things needed by various classes (often trade skills) to produce other things.
