This is a Neverwinter Nights game server set in the Forgotten Realms world. The server is hosted at this address. The interaction in the server is all in character, focused around exploration, horror, and of course, survival. The server is naturally rather dangerous - early on, the zombies can and will murder you. Discretion is the better part of valor, because characters can die for good.
The characters are located on the Isle of Siranda, an island specific to this setting located off of the coast of Amn and Tethyr between the Moonshaes and the Nelanther isles. It was populated by a variety of races, but the main inhabitants were human: primarily Tethyrian, Illuksan, Chondathans, and the native Annedh and Faelothans.
The island was ruled by the nation of Siranda, which united the cities and towns on the northern coasts of the island in worship of Lathander. With an army led by the Sirandan Knights, they marched against the drow in Imithril and the Annedh in the Annedhel desert. Consolidating their grip over the entire island, they were undone by an undead plague. Five years later, a desperate group of survivors and castaways hold out in an inn in the city of Kalaram - as dead walk the land.
These survivors are a motley collection of individuals that would normally clash, but the undead onslaught gives them a common goal. Paladins uneasily rub shoulders with kobolds and tieflings; knowing there is safety in numbers. The survivors need all the help they can get. Over the past weeks, island has roiled with storms, smashing ships and settlements alike. The scattered undead have exploded into hordes, filled with unspeakable creatures. Dark figures haunt survivors' dreams.
It's as if the island was done toying with the survivors - it was ready to consume them.
