The SeveriansIn-game guide
Getting started in The Severians
Old Mstyslav hands you his brewery and Prince Ihor calls a feast. Here is how to brew your first beer and earn your first glory in one evening.
Your homestead: brewery, villagers, roads and fencing. This is where building and preparing your defences begin.

100 coins, 30 wood, 8 stone, 6 honey, 6 water and 2 hops. The brewery already has a wort tub, an oven, a shelf and two crocks.
Chapter 1 “First beer”
- Place an apiary and a well right next to the road — without a road to the brewery they don't work.
- Collect 3 crocks of beer and sell them on Ostap the innkeeper's order.
Start with the apiary — tap the green arrow at the top! It leads straight to what needs doing.
Inside the brewery: brewing room, cellar and parlour. These tabs lead to the different parts of your production.

Have 4 crocks, upgrade the brewhouse to level 2, open a tavern (needs ★3) and earn 500 coins. The first bandits show up here — don't worry, the first raid is a tutorial.
Chapter 3 “Taste of herbs”
Build the herbalist's hut by the forest, brew beer with an additive, discover 3 recipes in the Book and fill 3 orders. See all recipes.
Hop beer in the Brewer’s Book: ingredients, value, quality and progress towards mastery.

Plant 3 bushes, feed the oven three times, catch a wild swarm and deliver a recipe order to a merchant.
Chapter 5 “Glory of Siveria”
Glory level 5, 8 recipes, 3 recipe orders and 6 crocks. From here you can call the militia and hire a cupbearer.
Chapter 6 “Expansion”
Two dugouts and a storehouse, brewery level 3, ageing in the cellar, guests in the hall and beer of quality 90+. Game tip: 1 hops + 1 linden gives 93. This chapter opens the map of the Siverian land.
Three habits that save time
- Tap the flame over the oven — 30 seconds of double speed.
- Stir with the spoon when it appears over a crock: you get two crocks instead of one.
- The red banner explains why the honey stopped, and “Missing: … — where to get it” shows the source.
