Hi folks! We have made a couple of changes to Great House mechanics to make things a bit more fair across the board. First, some time ago the Champions of Avendar got a new vault guard in the form of Yesal-Xea following the permanent death of Aranthas during the Hero of the Abyss plotline. At the time, we tuned her to be quite powerful to compensate for her being a single NPC encounter, but upon evaluation and watching a number of raids we have decided to make changes to her encounter to bring it in-line with the…

In the Arid Wastes, known as the Ngahe by those who live there, a plague of the mind is spreading. Day by day the Lsakia fall prey to it as their people endure insanity-inducing nightmares, suicides the victims never return from, and other mysterious disappearances. Those afflicted who remain lucid long enough to speak at all scream about profane geometry and the perfection of flesh, but even those desperate cries represent danger, a contagious madness that burns its way through the isolated desert tribe. Old Kyanan rites and blessed tinctures have managed to still the worst nightmares of the tormented…

Hi folks! We know it’s been awhile since we’ve rolled out a major game update, so we wanted to give you a glimpse into what we’ve been working on! After Avendar was relaunched by the current team the decision was made to temporarily suspend creation of all earth, air, and spirit scholars pending rewrite of the associated classes. This was done because the state that the classes were in was so bad they were literally unplayable by any reasonable metric and in some cases had access to skills or abilities that could cause game crashes or other serious bugs. Part…

Click here to join our official Discord server! Hello everyone, We have created a new official Discord server for Avendar. We regret the inconvenience to the many players that have joined the old server, but the malicious actions of a former staff member forced our hands. No staff member will be present in the old server once we have adequately communicated this news and nothing in that server should be taken as any kind of official statement from the staff of the game going forward. If you wish to read about what lead to this, please read on. If not,…

Alignment, especially race-restricted alignment, has always been a sticky issue, not just for Avendar but for pretty much every game that uses it. Modern game design has been steadily moving away from alignment as something that is important or even exists due to the baggage and complications to storytelling it introduces. While alignment is baked too much into Avendar’s setting to excise entirely (nor would we want to) what we can do is adjust it so it makes more sense in-play and open up some roles that have until now been unavailable without extreme penalties. This should help with contextualizing…
