Lore for the capital of the Gennaian Isles has been posted
Feel free to discuss the update here!  

Hello A'therys! It has been some time since we've updated you on what has been going on in the development of A'therys. Fear not, that doesn't mean that we've slowed down - it means the opposite. A number of things have been done these past few weeks from coding to building. Our custom quest plugin is being developed and will offer us some fun opportunities to let you interact with the world and learn about the new nations. Speaking of new nations, work on the capitals continues with Seten-Nan, capital of the harsh and desolate Dalkun-Tir.   Our Lore Team is also still working on some of the finer details of the nations, and as such if you are interested in forming parts of the nation of your choice, maybe hit the lore team up in discord and start a friendly talk! Maybe your ideas will end up in the game! Additionally I thought maybe I should write a bit about what I personally was working on and what will give you a bit more insight into the nations, the map and what kind of terrain you may expect to find. You probably already know that the Gennaian Isles are, surprise, Islands. Imagine Mediterranean islands and you got a pretty good picture of them. Further to the east one will find Daidama, with an icy north, stony highlands and further down jungles and a region inspired by the Tianzi Mountains of China. South of Daidama we get to a dryer region, Dalkun-Tir. A nation filled with Savanna, Mesa land (inspired by Monument Valley), Canyon and a smaller Desert (far smaller than Ar-Selukk’s Desert). Both Nations, Daidama and Dalkun-Tir share the same river (which also connects the capitals) and which will be around 6.5km long. So look forward to some epic boat races! Even further down we find Atvoria, a land shaped by magical stories. The epitome of the default fantasy land we all know from somewhere. Included are a swamp like region, mountains, large grassy plains, sharp rock formations and even a mushroom forest with flying rocks. A bit apart from these nations to the south west we get Kilnholdt. While parts of it are inspired by Scotland we also get a huge terraced Mountain region on the main island that, in my opinion at least, looks stunning. Coming from the lowlands to the road up to the capital will be a wonderful sight. Additionally the cave system has been slightly changed from evo to get a more epic feeling, deeper caves, some bigger ones that would be big enough to hold w whole town and even underground rivers. If you follow me on twitter you may see one or the other region in WIP pictures I sometimes post ;) https://twitter.com/Selltos   Today we also have a special request for you. A'therys Horizons has always been a passion project for us, and our team is small but dedicated. The size of our team means that while we are working away regularly, we rely on time voluntarily donated by our contributors. During this time, we have certain upkeep costs that we will always pay to keep the servers running and our website up. We've identified a few ways where additional funds could help alleviate those costs and allow us to divert resources to getting Horizons completed faster. Horizons will be completed, with or without donations, but contributing to our upkeep will help speed things up. If you are interested in helping us out, we have started up a Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/atherys/overview    And if you think you can build and want to help us in that regard please follow this link and join our great build team! https://atherys.typeform.com/to/kVygUS     We hope to see you around! Keep an eye on the website and discord for future updates!   "Kilden glory! -- No matter the cost!" - Kilden War Cry

A'therys Survival Hi all. Hope you are all well and are having a good weekend. It's been about 2 weeks since survival.atherys.com was released and now I bring you a changelog of more or less everything that's been implemented, changed and fixed. If you've read the release thread you will be aware that we have ranks on the server that open up more commands for players to use.  Well, now we're going to open up a form for players to fill out to obtain their well-earned rank. Here it is: https://goo.gl/forms/uWB0z0AyMyqb8Ibk1 Please note, it is likely your request will take a couple days (2-3) to be read and actioned. You will be contacted via Discord if your rank is deserved.  The Changelog Added deathcount to tablist Added 15 second combat tag. Don't logout during this, you will die. There is no way of checking your status currently, but we will look into adding this in for the future. The end was fixed, and dragon was spawned and killed. You will need to respawn it. https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Ender_Dragon#Respawning  Added a more helpful /help page. A forever WIP. Made vanilla trees easier to cut down (Conquest Reforged compatibility TBC). Have fun making log farms. Added an announcer to clog your chat up. Villagers now replant. TNT was disabled to prevent anonymouse griefing. Conquest Reforged doors, trapdoors, (anything and hopefully everything you can open and close) now added to Latch, lock with /latch private

All of these


  Added a 10k block wide worldborder that we will increase by 500 blocks each weekend (excluding this weekend) Next increase: May 26th. Gave The Respected rank permission to GriefPrevent Basic Claims. https://github.com/MinecraftPortCentral/GriefPrevention/wiki/Commands (A help thread on this will be made soon. I'm open to any players making one if they want!)   Grief Prevention Claims What can I claim? Upon earning the Respected rank you will be able to claim 100 blocks, increasing by 100 per hour to a maximum of 1000 claimable blocks. Most of you will already have 1000k claimable blocks because you have been online since release, you just don't have access to claim land until you rank up. The Trusted rank also has this, but in the future we will look at increasing this rank's maximum amount of claimable land, for now they are equal on this part.    How do I claim? Get out a golden shovel and right click 2 points just like worldedit. Your claim will automatically be created and you can start trusting players on your land /trust [player]   Will claims expire? In the future, we will be adding an expiry to claims (and Latch), so if you don't login/build on claimed land then it will start to be deleted, allowing people to raid your unprotected chests, etc.   A server restart is pending to make the Latch changes live, this will be done shortly. - Done

It's been pointed out that players have been hesitant to start and talk on these; so I'm opening up a Discussion Topic on the latest Lore Release, and will be making these threads for feedback / discussion / player theorizing / and general excitement This week's Lore Release was the Guilds of Atvoria!  

Hello Atherys!   Time for a new Sellt Diary Entry. Much has changed since the last entry and as you know (if not go and check it out right away) we now have a survival server running. Don’t worry, we are still working on Horizons and no resources have been diverted, the survival is just something we work on when we can’t work on Horizons. But this also means we are in the process of adding additional features to the survival server to give you more to do and maybe make a few things easier. A more detailed changelog will come to the forum as soon as Dannie has fixed the last issues with a new feature (which probably will make a lot of people happy!) All in all I hope you enjoy the experience and get to know the conquest reforged mod!     Horizon wise we are still making progress at a steady level, more code has been written, more stuff has been build and things have been designed. Yeah its not very descriptive but that’s sadly the nature of it at the moment. All I can say that its going and we are still fully invested in this project. Maybe you will see some of the features popping up at some point when we need to stress test them 😊 We are still looking for artists to create skin packs for weapons and armor. So if you good at this and have some spare time, now you know what you can do to help! ->      Further for the people inclined to RP, if you not already have check out this post:
This is still under development and there maybe some changes how it works out in the end, but it should give you a basic on how you can become canon and part of the lore of Atherys! Maybe a year into the game your character is actually a big hero listed in canon, wouldn’t that be fantastic? Or maybe even a villain, guessing some of you would prefer that       Because I was trout fishing yesterday I will present you my favorite recipe for trout: What you need:
2 trouts
Olive Oil
Lemon
parsley, dill or you favorite herbs
salt and pepper In my case I have 2 fresh trouts that I cleaned out. You probably can buy them this way in the store too.
While preparing the trouts, heat up the oven to 400° F and get two thick aluminium foils (big enough to wrap the fish in it). Place the trouts, skin side down, on the foil and oil them lightly with olive oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper, fill the fish with parsley, dill (or what herbs you like) and lemon slices. Fold up the aluminium to make a nice package. Bake the fish for 10-15 minutes, the fish should pull apart easily with a fork. When serving pour the juice in the foil over the fishes. And enjoy!
