Blog Spot Highlight
Today we take a look at the construction of the
territory of the Templar Eternis. Also, the project’s server owner has changed
hands from Stephen Johnson to David Harvill.
Since then Dave has maintained the server much the way Stephen Johnson
had and as also implemented a quick help site which displays the current status
of the Realmscraft Server: http://realmscraft.net/. I have
made significant edits to the Play
Realmscraft section which includes details on the new server ownership. If you are interested, or just want something
built, you can follow those links and learn what you need to get the answers
and assistance you want.

Realmscraft Project
“For over 20 years [Around 30], players in the
Realms have met on weekends and played characters in a fictional world. We have maps, and imagine that we come from
lands with castles, roads, bridges, towns, and everything else that might fit a
medieval fantasy theme. Until now, those
lands have lived in our stories, songs, poems, and fertile imaginations. This project is an attempt to change that. ‘Realmscraft’ could never replace LARPing, but
with the right approach it can be a tool to make our shared roleplaying
experience deeper and more fulfilling than ever before.”

Notes
Ownership of the project’s server has changed
hands. Now with David Harvill at the
helm the project continues to chug along.
Recent additions to server include Heminshire (Blackwood), Alonis
(Blackwood), and the starts of many other lands. Soon the server will be updated to Minecraft
Version 1.6.2 which includes the mythical long awaited horses… This change will
also include use of Resource Packs over Texture Packs. Bellow in the Play Realmscraft section is a
few useful links to aid in the transition process.
Brief
History Info Blurb
In parts of the fallen lands of Draconia are
Templar Eternis. The Eternis are
beholden to several canons which can be seen on the wall of the tavern just
outside Miller’s Reach (Picture Bellow) .
The Templar Eternis discuss rule changes and promotions together as
opposed to other groups which hold a single voice or a few prominent people
above all others. Beyond the tavern
where their tenets are displayed is the walls of the Miller’s Reach. I chose to do the Templar Eternis because I
stumbled upon their good work by accident while exploring their area of the
map. The city of Miller’s Reach is a
well-planned and ordered which perhaps speaks of the type of character members
of the Eternis have.

The Realmscraft project is not just for mass
builders who seek to construct nations. It
is also for those who would like to enjoy a little tastes of what the Realms
has to offer in a new light. Quests,
dungeons, Roleplaying, and all sorts of other activities are created, and made
available, for those who would just like to enjoy another Realms related
outlet.
Here are some links that may be of assistance
in getting you in to our rendition of the Realms World.

A link to
Dagger’s Realmscraft help page which is also seen bellow
Arkendrose.webnode.com — this is the home of the Library of
CrestGrath (currently under construction yet fully operational). There is a useful help page here that I keep
updated to help anyone interested in playing.

A Grid Map page for building nations or
structures almost exactly where they sit on the Realmsmap. Note: The gridmap is outdated so one will need both
the gridmap and the current Realmsmap to insure proper land and structure
placement.
http://arkendrose.webnode.com/texture-packs-/ - Texture Pack Page (Now Resource Pack
Page). This includes a DropBox link to
many useful texture packs to help enhance your Realmscraft experience. The most up to date pack on this page is title
