An old-school party-based dungeon crawler
Beneath Zekenor
A city above. A world below.
Create a company of adventurers, earn standing with Zekenor's guilds, equip every expedition—and descend into a dungeon that does not care whether you are ready.
The game
Preparation is part of the adventure.
Beneath Zekenor draws on the deep, deliberate computer RPGs of the 1990s: games where building a capable party, reading the dungeon and knowing when to turn back matter as much as winning a fight.

Prepare
Choose your party, equipment and supplies before leaving the city.
Descend
Explore hostile passages, face creatures and uncover forgotten routes.
Return
Bring knowledge and treasure home—if the dungeon allows it.
Your refuge
Welcome to Zekenor.
Guild halls, workshops, merchants and old institutions gather around a city built over something far older. Zekenor is where expeditions begin, where survivors recover, and where every discovery from below creates a new question.
The city took its name from an inscription upon a black gate buried beneath its foundations. Its familiar emblem may have been a symbol of protection—or a warning.

The Hall of Orders
Zekenor's guilds are more than character classes. Each is an institution with its own ranks, traditions and view of what waits below.
One adventurer. Many possible loyalties.
Earn your place.
Begin among The Wayfarers, then pursue standing with specialised orders. Serve one guild actively while building a history across Zekenor's competing traditions.
- Distinct ranks and advancement
- Guild commissions and named threats
- Skills, spellcraft and martial disciplines
Below the foundations
They call it
The Beneath.
Not an empty ruin, but a layered world of waterways, roads, courts, warrens and sealed foundations. Its peoples have laws and histories of their own. Surface adventurers rarely understand them—and are often treated as trespassers rather than conquerors.
“Every map of Zekenor begins with someone getting lost.”
Bring something back
Treasure has a second life.
Recover materials, improve equipment and turn the remains of an expedition into the means to survive the next one.
Development
The descent has begun.
