| * '''5.20.22:''' There is now a crafting workshop in the [[Faded Zone]], in a weird little cottage in the Nameless City. You can buy things from the toolbox to try out crafting skills. | | * '''6.12.22''': [[Info command|INFO]] and [[Group command|GROUP]] commands are now available. You can now get items out of items that are in or on other items (like a dress from a suitcase on a bench).

| * '''5.18.22:''' Huntable desert animals have been added to the game. More commands now support parenthesis emoting. The [[Search command|SEARCH]] command has been fixed to properly scan the surrounding location for secrets. Characters now have the option to modify their personality descriptions and to swap stats a couple times right after chargen.
| | * '''6.08.22:''' Balance messages changes to be more clear about what exactly is happening. You're not unpoised, you're just busy doing something. A new general ability has been added: You can [[Sharpen command|SHARPEN STICK]] to make a spear or spit. Going along with this is a new command: [[Roast command|ROAST]]. You can roast meat, whole gutted fish, and vegetables -- without any knowledge of cooking! (Warning: Do not use poisonous wood to whittle a spit and cook your food.) New herbalism abilities, MAKE CHARCOAL and BOIL, have also been implemented. Read about these under [[Herbalism]] or under in the new HELP HERBALIST file in-game. Appraising consumables will now let you know if they are caffeinated or alcoholic. Herbalists can now see if a consumable object has an effect, such as if it's poisonous. |
| * '''5.15.22:''' Bugs and typos submitted via the [[Bug command|BUG]] and [[Typo command|TYPO]] commands now automatically record the location in-game where they were reported -- and even more importantly, you get XP for reporting them! This is just a bugfinding incentive for pre-alpha/alpha phase.

| * '''5.14.22:''' Opened for invitation-only testing! More new socials added: [[Shrug command|SHRUG]], [[Boo command|BOO]], [[Cheer command|CHEER]]. New aliases have been created for [[Emote command|EMOTE]] (EM) and for [[Get command|GET]] (GRAB). [[Emit command|EMIT]] now echoes the emitter's name at the end. | |

Revision as of 20:03, 13 June 2022
Song of Avaria is a text-based roleplaying game that incorporates both MUD- and MUSH-like features to create a dynamic storytelling experience in an intricate and expansive fantasy world.
SoA is set in the vast land of Avaria, a roughly Earth-like world with a host of cultures and countries spanning a large globe. Geopolitics and religion mix with magic and adventure to create a realm full of possibilities, where player characters can pursue a huge range of goals limited only by their own imagination. Whether a pious priest, a bold knight of the realm, a canny entrepreneur, a climbing socialite, a studious researcher, a street thug with ambitions, or simply an ordinary peasant or citizen with dreams of something grander, Avaria offers a stage for characters to play out their own personal stories with one another against a vast backdrop of history in the making.
More information can be found on the Setting page or under the Lore links.
