No card needed. The whole A1 level, trainers and word book are free forever.

Six lands, six levels
Each land is a CEFR level. Complete all of its chapters to earn its seal. The road only goes forward, but you can always go back.
Every chapter has nine steps
In strict order: from review, through a living dialogue, to the guardian's trial. Spaced repetition, lexical chunks, comprehensible input, shadowing — proven methods, not tricks.
Rewards without noise
No points for the sake of points. Only what marks a real journey.
Chests and a wardrobe
Chests of five rarities, up to divine. 86 items and 8 sets for Master Dackel. Earned by learning only, never sold.
The Shadow of the Silence
Each land ends with a great four-phase trial. Victory lights the land up on the map.
Chronicle
Charts of your journey: study calendar, vocabulary growth, skill constellations and an honest level forecast.
Runes
Every chapter earns a rune with its key word — bronze, silver or gold.
Flame
It burns as long as you practise every day.
Wards
A week of flame earns a ward that saves one missed day.
Artifacts
The Scribe's Quill, the Wanderer's Compass, the Land Seals — milestones of your journey.

FAQ
Is it a game or a course?
It's a course: a strict CEFR and Goethe curriculum, proven methods and exam criteria. The game is the world around it, so you want to come back every day.
How accurate is the AI?
The first chapters are written by hand. The rest are written by a strong model grounded in a checked grammar reference, and every task has a «report a mistake» button.
Will it prepare me for an exam?
The curriculum follows Goethe-Zertifikat levels and formats. Writing is graded on examiner criteria, and role-plays train the speaking part.
Can I cancel?
