“We have found the place. A virgin to the madness that has overtaken all else. Powerful magicks reside here. Archaic, yet they are pure and suited to the task. We have erected pillars using our blood as mortar. With ritual sacrifice we have poured our own life essence into the barrier that holds them out. The cost is high but it must be paid.”

Allayis The last Ascendant

The world has been destroyed by a mysterious energy called the delirium. It twisted peoples minds, transformed common things into beasts both horrific and beautiful, and its unfathomable energy slowly corrupted everything. The Ascendant, godlike beings that walked among the mortals where the only thing that could withstand its power. They led the last of the races to the exiled lands and sacrificed their lives to erect the barrier that keeps the delirium at bay.

The remnants of the races now try and rebuild what they lost. Scattered throughout the exiled lands heroes start to awaken. They feel the pull of ascendancy within them and are driven to do great and sometimes terrible things. You are one such hero.

Will you settle for a mundane life or will you rise to ascendancy and shape what’s left of the world?

Custom server and Faction Lore

The Age of Madness

One of the longest ages recorded in current history. Started when the Ascendants led the remnants of the races to the area named The Exiled Lands. There they found ancient magics that had not yet been corrupted by the perverted energies called “The Delirium” that twisted the magics, minds, and landscapes of the rest of the realms. As the remnants of the races banded together and sought to make homes of their new surroundings, the Ascendants sought ways to stop the approach of “The Delirium”. Eventually the Felgarth offered a solution. However it required the Ascendants to give themselves to The Delirium while being sacrificed so that their blood and the resulting energy could infuse dwarven forged pillars and erect a barrier strong enough to stop the encroaching Delirium. One by one the ascendants gave themselves to be sacrificed and the Veil slowly became strong enough to hold the majority of the Deliriums foul energy at bay. However the result of pouring so much of the lands ancient magic into the Veil caused the lands to become barren and led into the Age of Destruction.

The Alternate Start Quest is up and running and people love it! As soon as you log in and create your character you are thrust into an immersive story. With 5 distinct races that have their own racial stats and several sub-races you will have plenty of options to make a unique character each time you choose to start a new character story. There are also several starts that place you in hand picked locations on the map as well as over 10 unique starting gear combinations.This is just the beginning and tons more will be added.

You appear in a dream, a small grove with ashes falling from the sky. Before you stands a massive being of immense power trapped between four curious black and gold pillars. “Awakened” he calls you. You converse with the being and tell him of your race and your last memory before you appeared before him. Before you can speak more to determine why you are there you are suddenly back where you were before the curious vision. Was it real or was it all just a dream?

We already have several RP hubs erected. Each with their own unique style.

Here is the Pirate port city of Tortuga. Complete with an underground labyrinth of sewers riddled with hidden treasure and monster encounters. Rogues and assassins will find themselves at home in these passageways as it is a perfect place for shady dealings. Its also a perfect place to eavesdrop and gather information from the visitors walking the streets above.

Ships are docked at the port. Here you will be able to pay the captain to have a crew member sail you down to many locations along the river. You will also be able to speak with the ships crew and they may give you quests that will span many of the islands and coastal areas.

Other features of the city are The brothel, the tavern, the many houses built along the cliff faces, the Stormhold Faction recruitment center, and the lighthouse that is always pulsing, guiding ships and keeping the monsters of the Delirium at bay. Beware, for if the light goes off, the city becomes overrun with monstrosities and will need a strong and cunning hero to find the way to fight off the monsters and turn the lighthouse back on.

The Kingdom of Anour Hill

Of all the races, mankind held the most potential both for deeds of greatness and acts of pure evil. They were scattered and deemed youthful and boisterous by the older races for many centuries, in-fighting and conflict were the daily norm for many of their kind until there was one powerful enough to stake his claim and dominance, uniting many of the warring clans under a single banner.

The champion known as Moray brought the clans together and established the Order of Anour, building his capital at the base of a great mountain that overlooked open plains and vast rivers for miles around. He reigned for many years and after his death his sons and daughters led their people through many golden ages.

The city flourished, the land provided for the ever growing population and as more people migrated towards the capital the greater it’s power and influence grew.

With people comes trouble, and as trade prospered, the wealth and worth of the population grew, a deep seated underworld formed. Possibly the greatest flaw of man is its greed and arrogance afterall.

To cope with those who fought against the peace for their own gains, the Order of Anour enforced stricter laws and punishments all under a zeal of righteousness. Peace was maintained whilst the rich got richer and the poor suffered under the heels of oppression as is the outcome of most societies built on ambition and desire.
When the Age of Madness had possessed many and they descended on the city of Anour crashing against its walls with wave after wave of assaults. Soon the delirium spread through the population, slow at first but the soul of man is easily corrupted.

The walls were doomed to fall eventually and the Order made a final stand to allow the people of the city to escape through the mountain passages, to flee to other lands and seek the aid of the Ascended.
The Warrior Queen Alexandra, descended from Moray himself led the defence against The Madness. By her own hand many fell, and every second the defence held the more people could escape until all who were left in the city were the Knights and their warriors.

The Queen and her noblest warriors held the final passage as they made their escape to join their people and help lead them to safety but it was not to be.
Whilst the madness had spread in the outside world, corruption and wickedness had been spreading within the kingdom itself. Those hungry for power and even those just born in to a lesser life, living on the streets and in poverty stricken slums had murdered the rear guard and seized control of the gates.
Alexandra watched as her own people closed the door of freedom on her and her knights and they all fell to the forces of Madness.

The survivors fled, many believing that the Queen and the Order had saved them, oblivious to the treachery that had occured but her memory lived on strong.

For others it was a new start, a chance to claim their own slice of control and so many different factions started to form, ranging from profit grabbing merchants to the farmers in the field, many guilds formed and they took on every form of work imaginable again showing the ability of mankind to achieve greatness and evil.

The remnants of mankind were brought to the exiled lands, now again fractured and scattered as a people though the Order lives on in the hearts of a select few and someday the greatness that was the Knights of Anour may rise again.

The Order of Felgarth

Scholars, tinkerers, alchemists and scientists in the loosest sense of the word, the Felgarth are all these things and more. They originated as a great library housed within the kingdom of Arkanvail in service to the ascended. For generations they gathered and nurtured the knowledge, lore and secrets of the world both all that was beneficially good and all that was secretly forbidden.

The Felgarth started out as a neutral faction, ever avoiding the politics of kingdoms and the offers of wealth and fortune from individual parties. Knowledge was valued above all else and it’s preservation was the mission that the Felgarth took upon themselves for many centuries.

A faction made up of all races, there was little discrimination amongst the members of this academic society. There differences showed at the start of the Age of Madness, when it came to how the knowledge could be used. Some believed that the secrets of the library would bring about a swifter ruin then the Delirium ever could, whilst others believed that to fight this blight on the land they should apply all that they had learnt since the faction was formed.
In order to strengthen their position within the faction some members turned to outside interference, to bolster their position and in return they offered secrets of weaponry and chemistry that could be used to combat the Delirium and those it had possessed.

It wasn’t long before the advanced secrets of warfare had spread amongs the more powerful kingdoms, and of course those kingdoms then turned their attention to the lesser ones. People waged war whilst the Delirium advanced ever closer each day, using the excuse of ‘purging madness’ to justify their conquests.

The idealists of the Felgarth, those who had wished to share their knowledge and advance themselves were tried and punished by their overlords, the Ascended. The ring leaders executed for betraying the knowledge that the Felgarth held so dear and the rest were banished from the faction.
The remaining Felgarth now closely guard all secrets, devouring information with an almost addictive nature. They were brought to the exiled lands, in tow of the Ascended and it was then that they decided that not even their watchers could be allowed access to the secrets within the vaults of the Felgarth. They devised the plan that would repel the Delirium, and in return they would forever shake the shackles of bondage that the Ascended held over them. Some Felgarth disagreed with the plan, they valued the wisdom and clarity brought by the ancient ones and they shared there misgivings with their lords. The Ascended already knew of the Felgarth’s treachery, but they also knew that the remaining races would be doomed should they hesistate.

The traitors turned their attentions to taking the power and secrets of Ascension for themselves, they tortured and dissected the sacrificial volunteers and though they claim that all actions are neutral in the pursuit of science, there was a dark and grim aura that emanated from those halls that day.

The veil was erected and the land was saved, much had been gained in terms of knowledge and preservation for all races but much was lost, the souls of men for one as their hearts grew dark and their thirst for more grew stronger.

Ravens are sent out to each of the Clan Leaders with a red scroll clutched in their talons. The scroll is sealed with a ribbon and gold wax imprinted with the Golden Lion Sigil of the Kingdom of Anour Hill.

"Oh, What night in yonder tundra takes place?
Oh splendid fete, effervescence calls!
The dark allure of silk and finest lace,
and revelry of friends pervades the halls.

Festivities begin as dusk descends.
Bring with thee your opulence for you’ll find
a realm only the transcendent attends
to consort with those of similar mind.

Darkness creates splendor for young and blithe.
Dreams dreamt upon the crisp northern night air.
For all of this you pay a simple tithe,
an offering of drink with friend we’ll share."

Take care to make all the gods feel delight
We’ll meet again to Celebrate the night"

-Renown Bard Sir Francis Cat ((aka @ ( Lady Evanna ) ))

Lord Grey Leader of the Kingdom of Bailhorn extends to you an invitation to his fete celebrating the completed construction of his castle. He requests that all who attend wear their finest attire complete with masks. You may bring with you a retinue of your trusted clan members. The celebration will take place 2 days from now as evening descends upon the lands (Sunday around 12:00pm CST) It will be located at Bailhorn Keep north and east of the mounds (C13).

So many people go through an entire play through and hardly ever visit the caves. We have remedied this by connecting all the underground tunnels together to make one vast network of coverns and tunnels. With the Less building placement and restrictions mod the players who have chosen one of the subterranean races like the dwarves or the dark elves can build in the underdark. All players should beware as the underdark will be full of dangers and most who are not dark elves or who are enemies of the dwarves may not survive for long.

The Underdark

Home to the most dangerous creatures, the Underdark is perhaps the harshest environment one can find. The denizens of the Underdark include; Demon spiders, Dark Elves, Shiroesse, Demon bats, and countless other horrors. The Dark Elves are perhaps the most prevalent, if not only for their harsh society and selective breeding then for their ability to settle large areas of the Underdark. Most cities encountered beneath the surface are Dark Elf or Duergar, or at least, the most recognizable cities are Dark Elf or Duergar ; Other societies exist in the wilds of the Underdark but they are usually unrecognizable as such to surface dwellers.

From Ashes Risen goes beyond the normal Conan lore, bringing to life a world rich with a variety of exotic races and classes. Rather than your journey beginning with your character dangling naked from a cross and in dire need of rescue, you are instead presented with numerous quest and story options to give you a unique starting experience.

Both established and new roleplay hubs are spread around the map, linked by a series of portals, wagons, boats, and mercenary escorts, allowing you to easily find other people eager to share in camaraderie and go on adventures.

A quick peek through the Character Sheets and Character Stories channel on the Discord will show what a fantastically creative group the server has cultivated, pouring their hearts and imagination into this shared world. Admins continue to add fun quests throughout the map, making for new reasons to head out and explore old locations.

The server settings straddle the line between challenging and accommodating, creating a need for allies to help tackle difficult content while also providing many quality of life improvements. From Ashes Risen includes many popular mods, and works closely with the Fists of Essence modmaker for a complex magic system customized to the server.

Anyone looking for something a bit different from the traditional Conan experience should give the server a try. The server continuously pushes the envelope on making the Conan gameworld unique, using its core systems as a backdrop for some fantastical storytelling.

Come roleplay, share your stories with us and explore all From Ashes Risen has to offer!
