Seven mirrors went up across Sapience in the name of a Siderealist the records say died almost a year ago. This week they showed their purpose: the Seventh World came through. Dhar met His own false reflection in the Underhalls. www.aetolia.com/news/dark-re...

Did you know? Aetolia’s Archivist class was originally going to have a skill called Enlightenment. It would have let you study your opponent in combat, build a journal on them, and uncover weaknesses to exploit.

The early game in Aetolia used to blow by before you'd figured out what you were doing. Newbies now cap at level 30, and the XP curve front-loads more experience so early content has room to breathe. Total grind to 100 unchanged. Just paced better. #Aetolia #MUD #TextRPG #gaming

Two Aetolia changes: - The Infiltrator 'Marks' skillset is now Umbrix. (Infiltrators had both Mark and Marks, a touch confusing.) - Deathsight Tokens revamped: CUSTOMIZE <id> APPLY turns one on, RELEASE turns it off. CONFIG DEATHTOKENS RANDOM is gone. Reapply existing tokens.

A new realm has manifested in Aetolia. The Siroccian digsite is gone. In its place stands a portal shaped like a giant tearing hand, wreathed in fire, opening into a shard of the Chaos plane. Inside: warped ruins, rival entities, no single ruler. Full dispatch: www.aetolia.com/news/a-handf...

A Handful of Chaos - Aetolia, the Midnight Age
In the last days of Chakros, in the 18th year following the Creators' Monomachy, a chaotic change manifested within Sapience's landscape. Cosmic roots of a cast-off shard of the Chaos plane found a full grip upon the land, establishing itself as yet another Sapient realm of that mysterious, varied plane. While little changed on the

Did you know? If two Teradrim with airguard equipped on their golems shoot an arrow at each other in Aetolia, there is a chance the arrow just keeps getting knocked back and forth. Earth golems. Playing catch.

The God of the Hunt owes his survival to the most treacherous figure in Aetolia's divine pantheon. Severn cured Haern's Aalen Bloom infection through shadow-feeding in the Shadow Plane.
