Welcome to Netheril Rising, a Neverwinter Nights 1 persistent roleplaying server set in the Forgotten Realms. The setting is focused on the ancient past of the Forgotten Realms, specifically the early history of the Netheril Empire. The main settlement of the server is the town of Hadrian; a border town recently settled by the Netherese on the very edge of the expanding Netheril Empire. Though the Netheril Empire is powerful, it is still in it’s infancy and far from the Arcane power of Forgotten Realm lore.

Darkness Enthralled Part 1: Back Tracking
“After awakening in a field surrounded by bodies, you struggle to regain your memories and understand what exactly happened to you the night prior. Plagued by odd nightmares and unexplainable coincidences, you begin to realize there is something sinister at work here. The town of Darren offers you a safe haven and a chance to take back what’s yours from the Darkness that Enthralls around you.”
FEATURES:
- A huge focus on environment and atmosphere in 70 areas. I didn’t stop working on an area until I felt it met my highest expectations.
- Extensive use of CEP to help make unique creatures, items, and placeables like you’ve never seen.
- 35 unique side quests, most of which chain multiple times.
- 15,700 words of dialogue make up an unsuspectingly dramatic story with twists and turns that holds you in tight.
- Creativity you won’t see in any other series.
REQUIREMENTS:
- CEP 2.3/2.4
- Community Music Pack
(CMP_hak.zip, CMP_v1.0.A.zip, and CMP_v1.0.C.zip required. DO NOT USE .hak included in CMP_v1.0.A.zip!)
- Fresh level 1 character.
PLAYER’S NOTES:
- This module is very placeable heavy, some lower end computers may have trouble loading certain areas.
- Although there is a bleeding system, death is PERMANENT, save OFTEN.
- Rest requires an inn room or a tent kit. I did this to discourage people finding the closest free bed and continually go there rather than an inn.
- There are no henchmen with exception to certain sections of the modules. This module focuses on your character.
- This module REQUIRES a fresh level 1 character, scripts won’t fire correctly if you tamper with XP.
- If you use a camera mod, I discourage having the camera extended out all the way before area transitioning. I’ve had crashes.
- This series is meant for a certain breed of NWN player. One that can enjoy roleplaying and take a second to look around at the details. There is plenty of combat but heavy hack-n-slash types may find it boring.
PERSONAL NOTE:
I put a LOT of work into the beginning of this series and truly only want it to bring some kind of enjoyment into your life. If you enjoyed it, hated it, or thought it was okay, please comment here so at least I know there was more than some non-emotional cyborg race downloading my module. o.o I expect there to be some bugs or issues, and I will try to update them as much as possible, but I won’t have nearly as much time to dedicate for the next couple of months. This also played a hand in the time I wish I had to develop this module. I got it to a point I could be proud of but there still maybe some small mistakes (including spelling and loading screens). I just didn’t have enough time to test and test and test. I apologize if this hinders anyone’s experience. With this said, I do think a lot of people will enjoy playing what I’ve created, and I personally thank you for the download.
