The Path of Ascension

Beyond the edge of our solar system, something ancient waits.

☉

🌙

Eris

Goddess of Chaos

The cosmic force of growth through challenge.

👑

The Empress

The First Ascended

Headmistress of the Academy.

◑

Dysnomia

The Discontented Moon

Daughter of discord, dweller in shadow.

The Academy was founded to forge souls strong enough to face whatever waits in the vastness of the Milky Way. Twenty-one have walked the path of The Empress and achieved transcendence. They are the Major Arcana — your opponents, and your teachers.

“The universe is vast and ancient. Our solar system is young and small. But Eris believes in us.”

A Note on Art Assets

The current demo uses AI-generated placeholder art for rapid prototyping. This is temporary! The final release will feature original artwork commissioned from real artists.

Astral Rivals is designed as an ever-expanding platform — new cards, characters, story content, music, sound effects, and avatar cosmetics will be added continuously. This creates ongoing demand for creative work across multiple disciplines, not just a one-time project.
