Each player assumes control over one hero of the land. The heroes each have their own unique traits including health, stamina, skills and the three primary stats of the game: Mind, Body, and Spirit. These stats are used to determine their ability to complete various challenges, such as swimming or negotiating. The stats are also used to determine their combat abilities in Ranged, Melee, and Magic phases respectively. Many heroes also have special abilities which can be used to help them in their adventures.
