Valannia’s upcoming Risen Heroes Mint will debut on November 4 through Magic Eden, marking the next phase in the studio’s growing Solana-based MMO universe. The drop introduces 6,000 free NFTs that act as playable, upgradeable heroes within Valannia’s connected ecosystem, which is set to expand later this month with the launch of its native VALAN token on Indie Fun.
Entry to the World of Valannia
The Risen Heroes collection anchors the game’s broader economy and lore, symbolizing the awakening of VALAN, Valannia’s universal in-game currency. Each NFT represents a hero that players can evolve across three stages: Shattered, Soul, and Risen which all unlock access to new regions, professions, and gameplay systems as they progress.
Holding a Risen Hero grants entry to Valannia’s persistent world, including dungeons, crafting, professions, and trading. Each hero also carries direct gameplay value, functioning as both a collectible and an in-game identity.
Mint Phases and Access
The mint begins at 3:00 PM Eastern / 7:00 PM UTC on November 4 through Magic Eden’s launchpad. Distribution unfolds in several structured phases, designed to prioritize long-term supporters and contributors:
- Phase 1: Guaranteed access for OG Hero, Valannium Ring, and Valannia Scroll holders. Each eligible asset mints one Risen Hero.
- Phase 2: Reserved for Beyond Hero holders, top 100 Shadow Veil champions, and partnered communities. Eligible wallets can mint one hero.
- Public Phase: Open to all participants, capped at five mints per wallet.
A snapshot across all qualifying collections will confirm eligibility, followed by a Wallet Checker release to verify mint rights. Immediate reveals will occur upon minting, with all NFTs tradable on Solana marketplaces.
Collection Structure and Gameplay Utility
Risen Heroes span eight races: Altari, Lerathi, Pirith, Tyxen, Zan’Thar, Feyrune, Glorb, and Humans comprising 12.5% of the total supply. Rarity tiers include Silver (70%), Gold (26%), and Eonite (4%), offering visual and functional distinctions across the collection.
Each stage determines access and progression levels within Valannia’s world:
- Shattered: Entry level with limited crafting and capped professions.
- Soul: Expanded exploration and profession mastery.
- Risen: Full world access with unrestricted growth and trade potential.
Mint participants receive in-game rewards including tools and crafting materials, while ascension milestones unlock additional items tied to the player’s progression.
Integrating with Valannia’s Broader Economy
The mint follows months of ecosystem development surrounding the VALAN token, which was detailed during September’s Red Moon Gala event. The token integrates a deflationary design through burns, buybacks, and treasury-linked rewards, while also powering economic flows across land ownership and governance.
Together, the Risen Heroes and VALAN token form the foundation of Valannia’s onchain world, blending game mechanics, digital ownership, and evolving player economies within the Solana ecosystem.
Looking Ahead
Valannia’s upcoming release, Valannia Realms, will expand the game into a full browser-based MMO strategy experience. Hero holders will gain early access to crafting, combat, and exploration systems that define the evolving universe.
As the mint approaches, Valannia continues to position itself as one of Solana’s leading game ecosystems, connecting NFT utility with a long-term, player-driven economy.
