[Tech] Emergency Maintenance Completed
Jan 26, 2012 - 3:00 PM - by Kaelon
Serale, Aelyrians,

This morning at about 4:30 am Eastern Time, the Aelyria Server began to experience a series of database malfunctions that affected most users. Users attempting to login to the system or contribute a post may have been presented with a Database Error notice. Leader Ann contacted me to report this incident, and from 2:00 pm Eastern Time to 3:00 pm Eastern Time, I took Aelyria offline to investigate the issue and perform emergency maintenance.

We identified a security exploit that was being leveraged against our website by individuals attempting to hack Aelyria. We corrected the security exploit and repaired it immediately, and then performed an audit of all plugins and code on our site. We identified one piece of injected code onto our site, but this injected code was not functioning correctly and was generating the database errors. There are no indications that hackers were able to compromise any of our information or data, and all... [Read More]

[Markets] Estelgorod announces new local currency!
Jan 12, 2012 - 1:51 PM - by Gir
Month of Immanis
Season of Winter, Era XVIII (PF)

Estelgorod, Arium Province - An official statement was released to the Herald that Estelgorod's Thane, Benton Rorsche, along with several other members of the city, have begun the transition of intercity commerce from crowns to a more localized currency. The Estelian Notes, akin to bank notes of several other cities in the Realm, is not a new concept in its own right, though the major difference is its conversion rate to the Crown.

Benton Rorsche's statement was as follows:

"Considering that Estelgorod prides itself on maintaining details of all commerce within the city, the move from the Crown was not a hard decision to make. We will be opening up Exchange Houses throughout the city in key locations for people to trade Crowns for Notes and back. One crown is equivalent to ten Estelian Notes, making economic transactions smoother than trying... [Read More]

[Realm] Church of Faith renames Capital of Carmelyn!
Jan 08, 2012 - 11:48 PM - by Trinity
Ninth Immanis
Winter, Era XVIII Post Fractum
Age of Heroes


SACRUM, CARMELYN PROVINCE – In an announcement earlier this brightening, Hierarch Ovan Hastra addressed the people of the City of Faith after much deliberation with the Council of Princes that spanned the last Fall season. Hastra, the Consul of Carmelyn, announced that the city Diana would formally change its name to ”Sacrum”, a world meaning ”Holy” in the ancient tongue.

”This move by the Church of Faith dissociates it from the fallen goddess they declared a pagan and unfit for worship last season,” stated the chief editor for Sacrum’s local paper, the Divine News and Gossip, ”An interesting turn of events – the Council also selected a name that they found neutral both in terms of godly and worldly tie-ins. I think this move reflects Hastra’s desire to return to a pure state of the Faith.”

Though the question in some... [Read More]

[Community] The Aelyrian Chronicle: January '12 Edition
Dec 29, 2011 - 11:56 AM - by Nimh
January 2012, 13th Edition

It's been a year since we posted the first edition of the newly realized Aelyrian Chronicle. While a bit of steam has been lost over the last few months for many varied reasons, I know I've personally been approached with how others have enjoyed reading or how they can't wait to see the next edition, to read the interviews and start browsing threads. I'm glad so many people have been able to enjoy the hardwork of their community members and get a chance to find out what's gone on behind the scenes or in the minds of the people operating cities, building characters and developing plots. As the year progresses, I hope to continue producing the newsletter. It might not always be "on time" and it might fluctuate with the content, but I've enjoyed reaching out to

[Law] Slavery officially abolished from the City of Imperia
Dec 24, 2011 - 12:55 PM - by Maker
11th Brightening of Immanis
Winter, Era XVIII (pf)
Imperia, Arakmat Province


In his inauguration speech on the 20th Kalendryas the new Lord Protector of Imperia, Reginald Ness, has decreed that the selling of slaves is now illegal within the city limits. It is thought that the Thane has done so to bring Imperia in line with the rest of the realm. His first order of business was to appoint Elliot Connor, a relative unknown, to the position of Chief Constable. With the second act being orders for the Chief to shut down all operations in and around the slave market of the Rioni Diavolo.

A month later, this reporter wonders what the reaction from the gangs of Imperia will be now that one of their primary sources of income has been removed, as they seem to have shifted focus to the smuggling of other... [Read More]
