Grandos Eternum

Introduction: The Game That Took Asiendal by Storm

Grandos Eternum, often simply called Eternum, is a strategic card game played across the Kingdom of Asiendal, both casually and competitively. Developed as a fusion of traditional strategy games and cutting-edge holographic magitech, it has become a cultural phenomenon, captivating duelists from all walks of life—from noble families to street-level enthusiasts.
Players can engage in 1v1 duels, team-based battles, and even unique large-scale war simulations using their Personal License Mark (PLM) or designated Eternum Arenas for immersive, full-scale battles.

I. Game Mechanics: How It Works

Grandos Eternum is built on three core mechanics:

1. Mana System

Every deck requires a balance of Mana Cards, categorized into various types:

• Elemental Mana (Fire, Water, Air, Earth, etc.)

• Void Mana (Dark magic, destructive forces)

• Life Mana (Healing, vitality, divine magic)

• Tactical Mana (Military strategy, leadership abilities)

These fuel abilities, summon creatures, and activate spells. Some decks specialize in one type, while others mix them for strategic flexibility.

2. Card Types

• Leader Cards – Represent commanders, rulers, or legendary figures. (Example: Eremon Mordos, King of Supremacy)

• Soldier Cards – Standard units used to attack, defend, or perform special actions. (Example: Asiendalian Juggernaut)

• Spell Cards – Can be offensive (damage), defensive (shields, barriers), or utility (traps, counterspells).

• Artifact Cards – Permanent field effects or equipment upgrades that influence the battlefield.

• Beast Cards – Powerful summoned creatures, from dragons to mythological beasts.

3. Card Attributes

Every card has:

• Attack Power (AP) / Defense Power (DP)

• Health Points (HP)

• Mana Cost (MC) – How much mana is required to play the card.

• Abilities & Effects – Passive traits, special skills, or triggered effects when conditions are met.

Example Card:
Eremon Mordos, Young King

IV. Grandos Eternum in Society

Holographic Magitech & Personal License Marks
