Are you a Wizard who loves the journey of discovery, the thrill of overcoming challenges on your own, and the satisfaction of a well-built Wizard, but without the pressure of constant group play and random yapping? Then you might be the perfect fit for The Order of Arcanum.
Spoilers for those who haven’t reached Baba Yaga in Polaris: The Arcanum in-game is a group of Spiral Scholars who conduct research in a secret dimension separate from the Spiral. Think of it as the “college” version of Ravenwood.
While group activities are fun, sometimes you just want to tackle quests solo, optimize your gear and spell decks for maximum efficiency, and experiment with different strategies without feeling rushed or obligated to others' schedules. That's exactly what we're all about. Being "first" or "the best" does not matter to us. It's literally just a game.
What does "casual, optimized solo gameplay" mean for us?
Casual: We're a relaxed community. There are no mandatory events, no strict activity requirements, and no pressure to be online at specific times. Play when you want, how you want. Life comes first!
Optimized Solo Gameplay: This is where we shine. We're a group of like-minded wizards who enjoy sharing pets, treasure cards, and finding efficient ways to progress through the game independently. Think of us as a support network for solo success.
The Order isn't about ignoring other players entirely. We have a Discord server where you can share your solo triumphs, ask for advice on a tricky encounter, or just chat about your latest endeavors. We might even occasionally team up for something specific if a few members happen to be on and interested, but that's always optional and never our primary focus.
If you're looking for a friendly, no-pressure environment where you can connect with other solo-minded wizards and elevate your gameplay, then we'd love to meet you.
See you in the Spiral,
Jacob RoseBlade
3rd President, Order of Arcanum

Are you a Wizard who values your own time and priorities? Are you looking for a community of like-minded people that are similar in this regard?
We adhere to the attitude that games are there for us to unwind and be a relaxing past-time for Wizards. When games are made into a mandatory grind similar to external responsibilities, they lose the magic that was intended for their audience to experience. As a community, we strive for Wizards to have access to Guild resources without the pressure of putting the game first before IRL commitments.
What does it mean to be a part of The Order of Arcanum?
The Order demonstrates and fosters the significance of being respectful, understanding, adaptable, and principled. We do this to encourage a welcoming and safe environment not just within the Order, but the Spiral as well. The community observes and values how Wizards act in various parts of the game, and we seek to bring this to the forefront. As the Golden Rule states; treat others as you would like others to treat you.
If the Order resonates with you, definitely get in touch with us.
We continue to strive to provide the Community with a casual, optimized solo gameplay with Guild resources. We look forward to seeing you in the Spiral.
Regards,
Valerian Day

Welcome,
Let this serve as your one and only formal welcome from me. Read every word.
You have been granted entry into The Order. This is not a prize, nor is it an invitation to be stupid. It is a charge. We exist to ensure that players have a safe and fun place to rest from questing.
To be explicitly clear, the following are grounds for immediate and permanent removal:
The Use of Exploits: Any manipulation of the game's mechanics for unfair advantage is a coward's path.
Harassment and Malice: We are guardians, not tormentors. Any member found to be engaging in the harassment of other wizards will be cast out. This includes targeted insults, persistent taunting, and any form of behavior intended to diminish another's enjoyment of the Spiral.
Dishonorable Conduct: Our Guilds are Houses of integrity. Scamming, lying to guild members, and any and all forms of deceit will be met with the swiftest of consequences.
Your word is your bond. Break it, and you break your place here.
Uphold our standards, and you will find a dedicated and formidable fellowship.
Do not disappoint us and you will reap our rewards.
In solemn vigilance,
Eric Eldritch
Past President & Co-Founder (2nd)
