Three New Classes and the End of the Midnight Age?!
Dear Aetolians,
It's true: the Grand Library has declared the end of the Midnight Age, ushering Aetolia into a new era. A lot has happened this past month, so let's get you up to speed!

The Worldeater Saga
Our most ambitious event ever, and likely one of the largest in the MUD world, reached its fantastical conclusion. This five-month saga began in July and ended in November, concluding a story that started 14 years ago in 2009 with the release of the Kerrithrim.
This event fundamentally changed Aetolia. Gods died and new ones emerged, mysteries were solved, and even Varian the Celestine was once more banished to another world. We won't spoil all the details, but you can read everything on the Events news board after logging in!
New Class: Predator!
Originating from the world of Aetherius in our sister-MUD Imperian, Predators were transported to Aetolia during the final struggles of the Worldeater Saga. Predators, equipped with skills in Knifeplay, Predation, and Beastmastery, are rugged survivalists who eagerly seek challenges to test their might. This class, modified to fit Aetolia's combat scene, retains much of its original flavor from Imperian.
New Class: Voidseer!
Voidseers are mystics of the Sentaari monastery that explore the depths of the mind and the Void. They balance upon the brink of madness with the aid of enlightenment, wielding skills in Enlightenment, Cultivation, and Voidgazing. Voidseers mirror the Archivist class, offering a unique flavor unlike anything else in the game.
New Class: Executor!
The Executors are ancient assassins that laid dormant for centuries until reactivated by the Syssin guild. Trained in Shadowdancing, Artifice, and Subversion, these ancient assassins once in the personal employ of the late Lord Severn act with a unique blend of stealth, strategy, and lethal precision. Executors, mirroring the Sentinel class, expertly navigate wilderness and set traps with deadly efficiency.
Mirror Class Project Completed!
The introduction of Voidseer and Executor marks the completion of the mirror class project announced in January 2020. This project has added 12 new classes to Aetolia, bringing the total to 30!
Farewell to Ictinus; Welcome Back Razmael!
We sadly announce Ictinus's departure as Aetolia's Producer. Joining as Producer in August 2021, Ictinus led Aetolia to absolutely thrive. As he moves to a new role within IRE, we thank him for his immense contributions.
We're excited to welcome back Razmael as Producer! A veteran since 2008 and Producer from 2012 to 2015, Razmael brings extensive experience and is poised to continue the exceptional work of Ictinus.
Best regards,
Razmael, Keroc, Emellan, and the entire Aetolia team.
