Ho There Wanderer!

Welcome to the world of Ethilien, a world once ravaged by gods run amok. Amid this world, on the eastern continent of Caelia, lies the classical power struggle of good and evil, righteous vs demonic.

Only after being spared through the might of the all-father, Metamorpho, creator and progenator of Ethilien, has Caelia began to recover from the evils caused during the rift.

However, under the cover of darkness do new evils arise to bring upheaval and strife as whispers of a mysterious and once forgotten clan bring hope of surviving the chaos to ensue.

  • Equipment used to become weightless when you wore it. Now it will continue to have weight. This will disrupt some folks' carefully apportioned kits, so the weight limit has been increased accordingly.
  • Objects will now generally disappear from the game if left unattended for too long. Basically, if a player handles something and then gets rid of it, OR if an object falls to the ground from a decomposing corpse, it will disappear after a while. Also, player corpses will take even longer to decompose.
  • When you're very close to your weight limit, you'll be too heavy to fly.
• August 31, 2008
  • The towns of Mielikki, Anduin, and Ickle won't tolerate evil pets any more, and the guards will attack them on sight. Necromancers especially should take care.

• August 17, 2008

  • Your trophy will clear when you die, unless you're questing. Some quests require you to get a list of creatures on your trophy. Gods who assign quests are responsible for marking players as 'questing' or not.
• August 16, 2008
  • A hundred or so player submitted ideas have been addressed and the responses are in the forums. These ideas span all the way back to the first week this current version of the code was active.
• August 12, 2008
  • Some sorcerer single-target attack spells were recalibrated.
  • NPCs are affected by laryngitis. This sad affliction has descended upon them due to the corruption of the Necromancer class by nefarious agents.
• August 10, 2008
  • Due to insufficient demand, the weapon slinging feature has been retired.
  • The operation of the sense life spell has changed. Our long-time players may recognize its behavior being very close to the original spell. In keeping with the concept of life forces, it now depends on the susceptibility to healing magic. As a result, purely magical creatures cannot be sensed with this spell.
• April 17, 2008
  • Hitroll and Armor Class points are now individually significant. Previously, you had to roll over the 10s digit to gain any benifit — for example, 19 was no better than 10. Now every point counts.

  • Bashed mobs will stay down a bit longer.
• March 28, 2008
  • When you are in a fluid state due to the Waterform or Vaporform spell, you won't be able to pick up or accept objects.
  • Creatures are resistant to various types of damage according to their composition. For example, ice creatures will be immune to cold, but vulnerable to crushing. See HELP COMPOSITION for more information.
  • Creatures are also vulnerable to certain attacks according to their life force. See HELP LIFE FORCE for more information.
  • Spectres, ghosts, and other creatures with no physical form are generally invulnerable to physical attacks. However, the bless and dark presence spells can help fighters destroy these beings. See HELP BLESS and HELP DARK PRESENCE.
  • The above changes represent a major change to Fiery's combat system, so rebalancing is likely. Please use the BUG or PETITION commands if you see any inconsistencies or imablances.
• March 11, 2008
  • With the NoClanTell toggle, you can suppress messages from your clan channel.
• February 11, 2008

  • A large number of phase armor quests that were broken should be functional now. Post in the forums if they are not.
  • Princess Signess shouldn't hide anymore.
