The Keeper's Codex of Callings · Classes of Aurelan

Every calling is built to never leave you idle: the full rotation is online by the mid-teens to low-20s, so by level 30 there is always a button to press — and a couple of capstone choices arrive at 45 and 58. Each class carries the tools its role expects: tanks taunt and soak, everyone gets an interrupt to snap a boss-cast shut, and healers keep the party on its feet.

🛡 Tank

Holds the foe’s attention and soaks its blows so the rest of the party can work. Knight & Paladin (with Warden as a capable off-tank).

✚ Healer

Keeps the party standing — targeted mends, group heals, and a clutch save. Cleric leads; Paladin flexes into off-healing.

⚔ DPS

Burns the foe down. The reason the fight ever ends. Rogue & Warden (melee), Ranger & Mage (ranged).

🤝 The party fills your gaps. Step into any dungeon and an AI party forms up around you — covering the two roles you didn’t bring. A tank holds the boss off your healer, a healer keeps the tank standing, and the strikers burn it down. The same four-Keeper party climbs the raid at your side.

Knight

Sword & Board · the Bulwark

TANK. The bulwark — sword and shield. Taunts the foe, soaks the blow, and outlasts the night. Holds the line so others may strike.
