Your runs are conquests. Ashenmarch turns the real world into a map of contested ground — every route you run or walk claims and defends territory, builds your noble house, and raises your standing in the realm. Lace up, close a loop through your neighborhood, and the land inside it becomes yours — painted in your house colors, your blazon at its heart. Run it again to fortify. March out and back to raise walls. Cross into a rival's ground to lay siege. Every mile works for your house. CLAIM REAL-WORLD LAND Close a loop on the map and take the ground inside it. Outposts grow into citadels the more you march them. FOUND A NOBLE HOUSE Name your house, design your coat of arms, and watch your holdings, walls, and treasury grow. Rise through the ranks and take your place among the great houses. A LIVE WAR-MAP Run in-app with a live parchment war-map, distance and grip tracking, auto-pause, and a herald who announces your conquests as they happen. OR BRING YOUR OWN RUNS Already run with Strava? Connect it and your activities import automatically — the same conquest logic applies. Apple Health and Garmin are welcome too. Strava is a data connection, not a login; disconnect any time. MEASURED AGAINST YOU Everything is judged against your own baseline. A beginner's personal best counts exactly as much as an elite athlete's — beat your own mark and you're rewarded. It's never pay-to-win. WAGE WAR, WIN GLORY Lay siege to rivals, defend your borders, hire sellswords, plunder gold, uncover treasure, and join a court to hold whole provinces together. YOU CANNOT BE ELIMINATED There is no defeat screen and no losing your account. Your rank history and conquest milestones are permanent — only the ground itself changes hands, and lost land can always be retaken. Every new player gets a 30-day free trial with full access. After that, membership is $7.99/month or $59.99/year through the App Store. The realm gathers on Discord — find rivals, join a court, and shape the game during the beta. The map is being drawn now. Take your place.
