* '''10.05.23:''' The appearance of people and animals in rooms is changed: now they show up right after the room description as more of a one-line list, and basic poses (e.g., "is standing here") are no longer displayed.
* '''11.29.23:''' Mistlight messaging has been updated, and mistlights will no longer convert burnable contents to fuel like normal fires. It should now take longer for a room to become "cracked and dry" in drought.
* '''09.27.23:''' [[Languages]] in [[Character Generator|character generation]] now show a percentage of fluency, making it easier for linguists to choose additional languages. Several character generation bugs have been fixed, including the unwanted behavior of generating a new [[Short Description|shortdesc]] over one you had already written if you auto-generate a [[Character Description|long description]]. Finally, the look of character generation over the website has been repaired.
* '''11.20.23:''' There are now metric/imperial unit toggles for weight and height in the web chargen, and a superfluous space has been removed from the auto-generated description. [[Heritage]] lists on the web chargen are now alphabetized.
* '''09.24.23:''' A [https://www.songofavaria.com/calendar/month/now calendar] has been added to the website. This is a work in progress.
* '''11.13.23:''' Dragging a heavy item together other helpers should work properly now, without any accidental tug-of-wars. The exact location of stealthed people can no longer be seen on [[Who command|WHO]] or [[Where command|WHERE]], and you will see an indication of your own stealth when LOOKing.
* '''09.20.23:''' Animals that are being ridden should no longer wander. Ridden animals should now properly depart with the rider when the rider logs out.
* '''11.10.23:''' Made a few tweaks to handling. Quitting the game will release any people who are held by you, and you can now [[Carry command|carry]] a person in one hand if you have substantially more strength than their weight, rather than having to [[Drag command|drag]] or [[Haul command|haul]] them.

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.

But recently word has trickled back to Omrazir of one of those robber camps being robbed itself! [More]
  • Stormy Summer: For a place that doesn't normally see much rain in the summer, it's been an unusually stormy season in Omrazir. Local pagans wonder if Nirzali is showering the city with her favor, or if she's thundering with displeasure... [More]
