Temporary server and playing

As of today (June 17th), you can play on the server.
All you need are the haks you can find if you look around a bit.
We're going to rebuild/restart sometime soon, so there will probably be a character wipe when we move to the new server. Still, if you want to check out the place and waste some time ...

Re: Nostalgia strikes

OK. I'm trying to join the FB group.
To my great surprise, I downloaded the old haks and logged on to Glorwing and played through the first quest. Either the quest system is broken or I misremember, but I didn't get my reward. *sulks*

I don't know how much time I have to join up, but a few hours ...

Ring of Return - from the researches of Giacomo Spellslinger

In the wake of the Time of Troubles ((for newer folk-- the v5 to v6 switch event)), a number of strange events of a magical and unfathomable nature have transpired throughout Glorwing.

Dragons' connection to the Great Weave of Magic seems to have become more and more prominent: witness the ...

The Cradles of Civilization (towns, cities, etc.)

By pure chance, I stumbled upon an old document which contains some of the original background info from the early days of Glorwing. Aside from "historical value", it can be interesting to see how the concept was originally designed. Most of it is still correct.

Glorwing – Background.

Only in Memory - The Isle of Eorna

Eorna
By Edarinna

This is a new land that I have been exploring and knowing. The beauty of this place I find calming. Something so ancient about the lands that you can feel call to you. So pure and settling that seems to haunt my dreams, as I lie awake at night. At first, the people were ...

Takezo had awoken in the woods with a vicious head wound, and suffering from memory loss. All he could find in the area were signs of a battle, a sword, and a small pouch of gold with the name 'Takezo' on it. He assumed initially that ...

I think it's worth noting that all this History was created IC, by players, DMs and Key players. This is not a background that was invented before we started playing. This is the History as it was roleplayed by the people who play or played on Glorwing during our first year ...

The storyteller looks at his young audience. For once, they are still and listening to his words. He draws breath to tell them of the background of this beautiful world.

Glorwing basic values

Glorwing was once a PnP world, based on Drakar och Demoner, that I made around 1985-1986 as a background to a lot of campaigns we were playing at the time. All the documentation is actually handwritten on real paper (you know the white stuff made out of trees?).
