**Travian: Legends - Rise of Governors** introduces new ways to progress across game worlds with Governors, the Season Pass, and Shards.

This overview will help you find everything you need to know about the new features.

## Governors

Governors are persistent characters that provide bonuses to your villages. Once unlocked, a Governor is tied to your lobby account and can be used on participating game worlds.

Governors use two progression systems:

-   **Stars** unlock Governors and increase their Maximum Level.
    
-   **Experience** increases their Governor Level on an individual game world.

Cleopatra is the first Governor introduced in Travian: Legends.

Her abilities increase crop production in the village where she is active. The strength of her bonuses and their requirements depend on her level.

## Season Pass, Missions & Rewards

The Season Pass is a progression system shared across your lobby account.

Complete Missions on participating game worlds to earn Season Pass Points and unlock rewards. Actions performed by duals and sitters on your avatars also contribute to your progress.

Season Pass Rewards include **Governor Stars** and **Shards**, with additional rewards available through the Premium Season Pass.
