On the 6th of Roarkian, Year 556, voices and laughter echoed from the Northern Mountains, hinting at a joyful reunion. Ayisdra Ysav'rai arrived first to investigate the area. Tridemon Regalis, Kalas Vexacion, Esei, Adrien Shee-Slaugh, Xenthos An'Ryshe, Gurashi An'Ryshe, Kalas Ixion and Tortuga Damascene then also made their way through the mountains to join them. Shufi Sunfar was embracing her sister, Nada Sunfar, who had forwarded news of her return as well as an invitation to join her after a long journey of exploration around the Basin of Life. While Shufi was addressing reproachful words and looks at Nada for ...

Though the citizens of Hallifax were perplexed at the dragons' method of communication - a giant stone obelisk dropped just a few metres from the Matrix - they nonetheless resolved to be cautious but polite in their dealings with them. Sadly, cautiousness and politeness is only so effective in the face of a powerful being who appears to be utterly insane. Appearing in dracnari form as her sister emissary had done in Gaudiguch, the dragon - later described as akin to a teenager or unruly child - struggled to form complete sentences amidst clawing her own colourless scales. She, too, ...

In Gaudiguch, it is certainly a question that many will be able to answer with ease: the months of Tzarin and Klangiary burned into their heads as harshly as their fair city was burned. Yet it was not a cosmic act of misfortune set upon them by the stars, but the wrath of a spurned dragon emissary. Having arrived well, the meeting appeared to be well underway as the citizens of Gaudiguch welcomed the volume-challenged dragon, who donned the star shape of a dracnari for their comfort. Yet, things did not appear to go well as a strange hunger ripped ...

The dwarf bard Dathruk Stonehilt set up camp in Avechna's Teeth one fine day in Kiani, where he called out for assistance from the Basin of Life. It was Noira d'Vanecu of Magnagora and Esei of Glomdoring who first responded, followed soon by Xenthos An'Ryshe. The trio and their companions discovered the dwarf's plight: a statue he was tending to had fallen into disrepair, dedicated to a Goddess of the Fourth Circle known as the Carver of Mountains. The Stonehilts had overseen the sculpture's mountain shrine for generations. However, recent rock slides had left the Goddess's statue in an unfinished ...

Part one of the Endgame rework is now released! This part focuses on a revamp of the Demipowers and how they work. I'll highlight a few of the changes here but check out POWERS and POWERS LIST and POWERS INFO to get specific information on powers. The first change is that that all RP powers that enhance roleplaying and have no mechanical advantages have been made zero weight, meaning you can have look how you want and shout how you want without sacrificing any mechanical advantages. This includes things like CustomShout and ChoiceLook. The other big change is that the ...

We'd like to talk about the current global fears surrounding the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic. It may seem strange for an online game to be addressing this situation. But Lusternia's players and administrators come from all around the world - including many countries that have been, and continue to be, heavily affected by the spread of the pandemic. People are rightly concerned by the spread of the virus, and an increasing number are being required to self-quarantine - whether that's due to cases local to you, because of increased threat to vulnerable people, or for other reasons entirely. Self-quarantine is a vital ...

Listen now, O Basin of Life, and hear an epic to be retold through the ages! Sung of by the bards! Obsessed over by scholars! Pondered by the great thinkers of our time! And all as told by this humble, dashing, ageless, most insightful vessel of truth with eyes that shine like the azure seas of… Oh yes, but back to our tale.

It is ...

Once more, the anniversary of the death of Old Cashel Connlaodh, King of the Leprechauns has arrived! The leprechaun population have held their traditional gathering to celebrate his reign. However, as the green ale flowed, old arguments rose about who should lead the leprechauns. This finally resulted in overthrowing of King Gilligan Connlaodh, calling for a new contest to see which of Old Cashel's children should rule the leprechauns. Thus, Seamus Connlaodh and Eileen Connlaodh have returned to try to wrest the crown from their brother Gilligan. You can help the leprechauns to choose their new leaders by helping either ...

Hello everybody, I am stepping down as producer of Lusternia as of midnight March 1st. Instead of waxing poetic on this point, I'm going to keep things succinct. I will still be around in the background assisting with code, issues, and other aspects of the game, but I will no longer be acting as the main point of support for the game. In my place, Aonia will be stepping up as the Producer of Lusternia. I will let her say what she wants regarding that instead of putting words in her mouth. This appointment was at my recommendation, and given ...
