What is Ash & Blood?

FAQ 01
What is Ash & Blood?
The short version
Question
What kind of Conan Exiles server is Ash & Blood?
SHORT ANSWER
A Heavy RP, RP-PvP community
Ash & Blood is an 18+ whitelisted, human-only, low-fantasy Conan Exiles UE5 roleplay server. The focus is long-term character stories, consequences, politics, relationships, conflict and a believable Hyborian world rather than mechanical progression alone.
01
What to Expect

›
Heavy text roleplay. Character interaction and writing are central to the experience.
›
RP-PvP. Conflict exists, but mechanical fighting is part of a larger roleplay system.
›
Human characters. Characters belong to the human cultures of the setting rather than fantasy races.
›
Consequences. Injury, reputation, alliances, betrayal and long-term choices are expected to matter.
›
Community storytelling. Your character matters, but so do the stories of everyone around them.

Can I play a non-human or fantasy race?

FAQ 02
Can I Play a Non-Human Character?
Character scope
Question
Can I play an elf, demon, vampire, beast-person or another fantasy race?
ANSWER
No, all player characters are human
Ash & Blood is a human-only, low-fantasy roleplay environment. Supernatural elements may exist in the setting, but they do not turn player characters into unrestricted fantasy races or creatures.
01
What You Can Use Instead

›
Human cultures from the Hyborian setting.
›
Religious beliefs, superstition, fear and folklore.
›
Human characters affected by extraordinary events where the rules and lore allow it.
›
Cultural differences, scars, rituals, professions and personal history to make characters distinct.

Are dungeons aggression-on-sight PvP zones?

FAQ 03
Are Dungeons PvP Zones?
Treasure creates natural conflict
Question
Can players attack each other inside vanilla or modded dungeons?
DUNGEON RULE
Yes, dungeons are aggression-on-sight zones
All vanilla and modded dungeons have a standing IC basis for conflict over treasure, valuable loot, prisoners, escape routes and dungeon objectives. A prior personal feud is not required.
IMPORTANT
/pvp intent is still mandatory
Aggression-on-sight removes the need for prior personal escalation. It does not remove the PvP declaration procedure. Every encounter still begins with /pvp intent before mechanical attack.
