Description

Since the dawn of time, Guardians have watched over the legends and myths of this world. They have hidden clues throughout the ages, allowing such legends to remain in the minds of mankind. You have just arrived on the archipelagos of the Guardians. Upon these islands lie the origins of our world... where legends were first born. Set off on an adventure and discover the treasure of the Guardians of Legends!

Aim of the game:
To collect as many Coins as possible. There are two ways to go about this: find treasure and legends belonging to other players; allow your own legends and treasure to be discovered by other players.
