Hey there :)

Good to see new interested players for splinterlands, the game is awesome :)

According to your questions, it all takes places on the hive blockchain. If you make an account with f.e. a referral account and buy a spellbook you will automatically create a hive account.

At the moment I can offer you my referal link, where I will send you some extra cards to get a better start into this game.Normally you wont get any other rewards, but I would give you some starting cards ;) And you can DM me in discord, where I would try to help you to get this started. Its not that easy, but If you are in, you will stay in! :))

the spellbook will cost 10$

here is my referal link:
