This page is for the current tutorial campaign.

The Empty Throne is the Eternal's tutorial campaign, serving as the player's introduction to the game and telling the Scions storyline. After prompting new players to choose an avatar and free totem, the introductory mission opens automatically and must be completed before the rest of the game is made available.

Tutorial Explanation

Siraf explains Eternal's gameplay throughout the tutorial missions.

Overall, the campaign is narrated by Jekk telling the story of the five Scions following the death of Caiphus. Tutorial elements, such as gameplay explanations and action prompts, are narrated by Siraf.

Finishing The Empty Throne completes the Complete the Campaign starter quest and begins the Survivor quest. Players are then granted access to the full user interface, including the player profile customizations and the collection and deck builder interfaces. Most items become available in the in-game store and players are given their first quests. The epilogue campaign The End And The Beginning, the paid campaigns, and the Gauntlet, Forge, and Draft modes are unlocked. Puzzles, Casual, and Ranked modes remain locked until a Gauntlet run is completed. Events are locked as well, until their own conditions are met.

Eternal's tutorial was originally broken into three separate campaigns, The Fire Within, Shades of Time, and Who Shall Rule?. With patch v1.35, the tutorial was re-designed[1], combining the three sections into The Empty Throne. A new introductory mission featuring Jekk and Curiox was added, missions were rearranged and several removed to streamline the tutorial, and the previously 'hidden' epilogue The End And The Beginning was moved into its own separate campaign.

Campaign[]

This campaign's missions walk the player through the game's user interface and mechanics, using prompts to direct player's interactions and drawing cards in a pre-determined order. Players are granted more freedom in their decisions in later missions.
