Arenthyor Overview

Arenthyor is a Neverwinter Nights roleplaying persistent world offering a balance of high roleplaying with high adventure in a medium magic and slow/medium leveling environment. 

Arenthyor is a rich, detailed world featuring opportunities to engage in an immersive environment with significant backstory as inspiration for your roleplay.  Whether you prefer social, political, or quest-based roleplay, you will find a welcoming environment in Arenthyor. 

As a player, you are enabled to join a progressive quest system, participate in various non-linear quests, or join DM led events.  You also have the power to help shape the world around you in this dynamic ever-changing environment.

Special features of the Arenthyor server that we believe separate our world from the rest of the pack include:

Shape the World - The builders/DM team want you to be an active participant in the world as it evolves.  Your roleplay can help determine how the world changes, looks, and expands.

Destiny System - Your fate is up to you, but you must always answer to the Fates.  Choose a destiny for your PC using Arenthyor's unique destiny system and fulfill your dreams! 

Dynamic Alignment, Racial, and Deity System - Who you are and who you serve matters in Arenthyor.  The world hangs in the balance and whoever can manage to hold sway in the land by "claiming" the most dungeons for the party's alignment, race, and/or deity will enjoy generous benefits.  Woe to all others!

Randomized Dungeons - Arenthyor's unique system of randomized dungeons ensures that you'll never get tired of running through the same old scripted dungeon over and over again.

Unique Bosses - Arenthyor's unique system of dynamically creating quest bosses generates so many possible combinations that you're almost guaranteed never to fight the same boss twice.

Earn Accolades - Earn special awards for striking the killing blow to rare and unique monsters....beware the rust monster!  Or, maybe you'll become a fabled Dragonlord...

RP Tokens - Earn rewards for displaying continuous and novel roleplay while in-game that can be redeemed for XP bonuses (and possibly other boons). 

Other fun features include:
Over 1,700 monsters
Over 60 Playable Subraces
Custom creature AI
Player owned guilds and leadership
Persistent Inventory and Banking
Item Creation and Enchantment
Unique Languages
Ridable Horses, Jousting, and so much more...

An age and more has passed since the "Riftening".

Life, changed as it is, has moved on.  What was catastrophic then is only tragic history now.

The world has changed...
 Elves have retreated from the land to their mysterious island homeland and are rarely seen by those they left behind. For the best, most would say, for even after an age, distrust and hostility still run deep against the ancient and noble race. In the wake of the Elflight and Riftening, survivors have suffered a hardscrabble existence and are only now beginning to build stable communities of their own while the once proud elven cities lie in rubble and ruin.

The land has changed...
 A horrific scar, known as the Great Rift, serves as a reminder of the day when everything that was became no more.  The wound divided the continent in twain.  Survivors mostly fled to the new eastern continent, known as Arenthyor, abandoning to utter chaos that which became known as the Veiled Lands in the west.  These days, rumors of beasts which existed only in nightmare and myth before, are now common campfire talk. 

Magic has changed...
Once the sole province of the land's fey stewards, magic has been rediscovered by the "lesser" races.  However, the wounding of the land that caused the Great Rift also wounded the arcane energy of the land.  Magic has become unpredictable - it can stutter and die or spin out of control without warning.

Destinies have changed...
From the ruins of the old world, new powers rise. Serving the light or the dark, the lure of Power, Prestige, or Fortune drive opportunistic adventurers to brave the capricious Fates and roll the dice with their lives while the gods themselves watch in eager anticipation.

Win or lose, the fate of the new age of Arenthyor rests on the scales of destiny. Waxing or waning. Rising or falling. Ascending or descending.
