The World of Avlis

Ladies and Gentlemen,



It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Kurathene Server is now live and availiable for play. The Kurathene Empire, once united under the rule of Joral Kuras, is now made up of a multitude of warring baronies, duchies and kingdoms, which compete for wealth, power, and the chance to reforge the empire and proclaim themselves Emperor. Most of these feifs are run by players, and anyone can join a fief and participate in the wars and politics of the Empire. Land will change hands, powers will rise and fall, and new heroes will be proclaimed. There's plenty more information on the forums and the wiki about what the server is, as well as its history, geography and politics. These are good starting points, but a search will reveal much much more:

We're currently missing 2 fiefs - Trenium and Valorian, but these will be availiable shortly. Ther server is accesible from Kuras, and routes via other servers will become availiable very soon, when these servers are updated.

There are many many many people who contributed to this project. It was a massive undertaking, and I'd like to thank them for the countless hours that they have put in to make sure that it is a success. I won't list everyone from each team - the fief lords can tell you who they had to help them out, but my most sincere thanks to everyone who contributed in any way.
