Your Legend board became your Brand

What happens to your heroes in The Ember Depths 0.21: Legend points become ranks, every node becomes a rune, Crests stay, and your first respec is free.

Nothing is lost. The first time you open your Brand, a card shows what your Legend board became and asks how you want to start.
