Aloria is heaven for anyone who is an explorer at heart. The world is full of mystery, history and adventure and provides endless hours of exploration. During my travels I have seen many iconic kingdoms, enormous mansions and mysterious ruins so I decided to document and research as much of my exploration as possible. I will fuse information from historic forum posts, images, etc in order to share a part of each element.
Mark this thread as "watch" to follow my journey and view my regular updates. If you wish for me to visit then please comment below and I will mark it down as my next journey.
DISCLAIMER: This thread is a living document that is updated very regularly! The places below may or may not reflect the name of the current owner. I am trying to document any notable history of the buildings and areas shown below. I attempt to check the forums for any significant history and have done my best to show what I have learned. There is much history to review in MassiveCraft and I only hit the tip of the iceberg so if my details are inaccurate please let me know.
Avallone (DELETED) (Img) -The Elven Kingdom of Avallone has its roots planted in the continent of Daendroc. This once great kingdom had a footprint on every corner of Aloria. The main kingdom is truly iconic with its great use of colorful glass, previous trees and architecture. The main entrance welcomes you with two giant statues and a long climb up the grand staircase. Each room is beautifully decorated and has a unique touch. While exploring this grand kingdom I really did feel like I was in another world. The nearby town keeps true to the architecture and makes use of the many trees to support and beautify the town. The hike to this hidden gem was harsh since it has immense jungles between it and the spawn point. The visit has been worth the trip.
Civitas (Dyn) (Img) - PENDING EXPLORATION
Crypt (Dyn) (Img) - The kingdom has a long backstory full of triumph, challenge and the incredible will to live. The city sits protected behind large walls with towers all around providing security and surveillance from danger. There are many amenities such as a tavern, church and sawmill. which provide comfort and strength to the people. The city planning is precise and detailed as stone roadways providing easy organized movement throughout. A small oasis can be found at the end of the northern bridge giving their citizens a place to be at peace. A small harbor sits outside the kingdom walls and has a large ship docked.
Hyrune (Dyn) (Img) - Three large ships owned by Hyrune have settled down in a large island in western Fendarfell. The people have flourished here and have called this safe place home. The island has many homes down by a cove which provides people with beautiful sunrises everyday. As the large ships protect the harbor from danger, you can quickly see the iconic mansion on the highest peak. @Aespair has ensured that no expense was spared in his build and the sunrises and sunsets speak for themselves. The city is designed with a three tier system of layers that define the sectors. A grand cathedral is located at the tip of the cove and is a welcoming beacon for all those who set sail and visit this beautiful island.
Damorn (Dyn) (Img) - PENDING EXPLORATION
Dunwich (Dyn) (Img) - This kingdom is based on a hilly plain, with lush grass and soil making for rich crop yields and beautiful scenery. It is a predominantly peaceful kingdom, though not defenseless. The highlight is a large traditional castle, several two story homes and work buildings. There is a large mine, stable, farm, tavern, blacksmith and access to a nearby lake. The castle stands out tall and beautiful. The interior is decorated from room to room and supports the King's servants.
Isengard Tower (Dyn) (Img) - Towering hundreds of blocks above the Fendarfell horizon stands an iconic tower that can be seen for miles. This cobblestone structure has incredible detail that starts from the very bottom and follows it up to the perch above. The grand stairway to the entrance is enough to strike fear into your heart and question what horrors may lie inside. Each level provides a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. The vertical storage inside the tower gives the faction a small footprint to easily secure all their things. At the time of my exploration I found a trap door at the entrance of the tower. The smell of burning flesh was still strong as the last guy who fell down that trap had no chance to survive.
Libris (Dyn) (Img) - This floating castle is anchored to a mountain side by a long large stairway. This kingdom was founded by a rich King who was looking for a new location that provided rich views and protection from invaders. Floating nearby and above is an airship ready to fire down at enemy troops. Once inside the castle you become awestruck as you gaze into the endless blocks of gold in the tall ceiling above.
Magnanimus (Dyn) (Img) - This iconic kingdom has deep roots in Alorian history. The heavily protected castle rests on a hillside with large and generous adjacent city nearby. War documents show a time when this kingdom has been at wars with other superpowers. It was so successful that at one time even opened a college to teach people how to develop strategy and win fights. The open concept of this kingdom boasts that it doesn't need walls to protect itself since the defenders can hold their own ground. It opened the very first War Zone in Aloria and set the standard for others to follow. Eventually this kingdom faced the world with a new outlook since its long standing reputation of bloodshed superseded it everywhere they went.
Mithril (Dyn) (Img) - This kingdom provides large ships with a place to dock due to its large harbor. The kingdom sits behind a towering wall and is fill of numerous buildings and activity.
Morgannwg (DELETED) (Img) - This large kingdom sits on the mouth of the great Ithanian river. The kingdom is divided by the river but joined by a smaller island with a large harbor. The city portion to the north has well planned housing and room for a very large group of citizens. More research to follow.
Northwatch (Dyn) (Img) - PENDING EXPLORATION
OceanSpire (Dyn) (Img) - Not much is found detailing the history of this lonely spire structure sitting in the middle of the ocean. The structure does however emanate a powerful aura that has been narrowed down to a set of beacons. The closer I got to this lone spire the more powerful I became.
ProudhammerClan (DELETED) (Img) - Deep within a snowy mountain in northern Ellador lies a heavily fortified base called ProudhammerClan. Do not let the small defence configuration in the front fool you. Behind it sits an unpenetrable defense that is comprised of high positioned cannons and a giant secure gate. I was lucky enough to be given the chance to look inside this mysterious base by it's leader. While exploring the base I was told of the deep history it had with the Dwarven community. The famous tale told was of the ProudhammerClan and Icewick Dwarven Alliance called, "The Brotherhood of the Forge." This alliance provided aid to all Dwarven factions throughout Aloria by sending supplies and warriors in times of desperation. I took great notes and sketches of the interior design of this base and was very impressed with its inner working. A round central mining hub made the core of the base. This provided both protection and valuables resources as the mining system grew around it. At the base of this core is a complex dungeon system that took the lives of many men who tried to explore it.
Purge (Dyn) (Img) - This small island has a dangerous mountainous landscape. On top of the highest point sits a very mysterious Castle with a dark and majestic Airship nearby. The contents inside this castle are unknown and those who accidentally found themselves nearby were never heard of again. I barely made it out alive to share my research.
Quel'Duin (Dyn) (Img) - PENDING EXPLORATION
Raptum (Dyn) (Img) - This epic quartz castle is nestled in the center of a circle patch of green grass surrounded by endless sand. The inner workings of this castle are deep underground and have been rumored to contain enormous facilities enabling it to output at an almost endless rate. The builders of this gem did not overlook any details inside and appear to have used the highest quality quartz, gold and diamonds to express its wealth. The origins of this kingdom remain a mystery and my research continues.
SaintMechs (Dyn) (Img) - PENDING EXPLORATION
Semperis (Dyn) (Img) - This castle rests in the middle of the ocean and features a dark and iconic theme. The interior is rich with lapis blocks and detailed architecture.
Shaolin (Dyn) (Img) - PENDING EXPLORATION
SovereignLegion (DELETED) (Img) - The SovereignLegion, previously known as 9thLegion, is an all-encompassing RP/PVP faction with a long history on the server. It began as 9thLegion with a Roman-centered theme and has stood the test-of-time for years. The 9thLegion eventually changed their name to SovereignLegion as it continued to grow away from the Roman theme. One of their most notable military moves was against the forces of Ulldin when they captured the Ulldins Bridge during a war. This strategy has taught future aspiring leaders that war can be more than just a PVP bloodfest.
Steadfast (DELETED) (Img) - This kingdom has stood the test of time has rich history behind it. Aloria's best arhitects took on the job of creating this iconic kingdom on top of a mountain. It is protected all around by high walls and deadly cliffs. There is much to do and see inside this kingdom. Historical documents revealed a time where activity seemed to slow down due to many political factors. Never the less the kingdom remains in the hands of those worthy of such a unique kingdom.
Stratum (Dyn) (Img) - This large castle sits on a hilltop overlooking the quiet land of Ithania. Deep inside the walls of the castle lies the group known as the monster hunters of Startum. Their reach extends all around Aloria and their mission is shrowded by mystery.
Tyberia (Dyn) (Img) - The kingdom is ran by a merchant like monarchy which dictates the commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market cities in its area. The focal point is the Grand Tyberian Bank. The castle sits on top of a towering island which features protection from all around. These documents detail a vault system that lies below the seafloor. The base of the island has several shop stalls and a dock with a large vessel is docked in it.
Valorian (Dyn) (Img) - This fortress features all around protection by cannons at the base of the kingdom. The central feature is a large castle that sits high above the town. Across the small river lies a large building that is used mainly for business. A small farm sits next to the main town. Valorian historically used to be its own faction, but merged with Magnanimus in May of 2013.
Beaumesnil Mansion (Dyn) (Img) - Baroque Architecture is the central theme of this large estate. The grounds are beautifully maintained and rich is style. This iconic build speaks richness for anyone who lives inside.
Château Des Neiges (Dyn) (Img) - Built by the famous @DanyWood, this historic castle sits high above a snowy mountain surrounded by pearly white snow fields and endless spruce trees. The architecture inside and out are nothing short of incredible and the views are amazing. The decoration inside is highly detailed and beautiful to examine. The mansion is split into four main areas. The first area sits outside the entrance and serves as a small food storage and shelter for the horses. Immediately next to this shelter is the welcome sign placed next to ascending stairs that leads to the Guest house. This building serves as a warm welcome to all those who visit and provides a place for comfort. The Guest house connects to the Storage house that holds all of the materials to maintain this mansion. The bridge from the storage house connects to the mansion.
Mansion De Salon (Dyn) (Img) - This large mansion rests in the bottom of a Ithanian valley and is surrounded by beauty. The owner @starpoo1 takes great pride in keeping this home very clean and decorated. The inside is warm and full of space which is inviting and comfy. A large and lavish pool is located inside and it is great for a swim anytime of the year. The red and green mansion colors are seen throughout the build and are the central focus of the family who resides in it.
Neuschwanstein Castle (Dyn) (Img) - This castle is a beautiful recreation of the the nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace. It sits on top of a rugged hill in Teled Methed. This quartz castle is large and functional and is the primary residence of @Ha5h himself. The grounds surrounding the castle are natural and scenic. Many come by to witness the sunrise and take in all that nature has to bring. It is truly one of the most iconic castles in Aloria.
Quel'Duin Mansion (Dyn) (Img) - Large and decorated mansion with high walls protect it all around. This beautiful mansion was built by the talented @Steltral and has maintained its quality over time. Several towers along with a small interior garden, heavy interior decoration and large underground farm and water source provide beauty and entertainment for visitors.
Vreroka Castle (Dyn) (Img) - Far above the mountain tops is a towering castle surrounded by lava and flames. In the center is an impressive column surrounded by several smaller towers with incredible views. Protecting the corners are dragon statues that are the symbol of power and riches. Old research notes revealed that the creator if this molten castle was @Knyxor and his impressive work is indeed incredible. The volcanic grounds show a display of heat and ash that protects the courtyard from mobs and fighters. Within these heat reinforced walls is a network of corridors that lead to highly decorated rooms.
Wyvernrock Island (DELETED) (Img) - The mighty crew of the "Crimson Ravager" lead by the now retired Captain Theodon Caius Typhonus (@Steltral) accidentally found the small uninhabited island now known as Wyvernrock Island. These maps tell of a time when the crew claimed the island and created two large buildings on it for outpost and trading purposes. Eventually the buildings were converted into very beautiful mansions where the wealthy can go and enjoy the island life. The small island has a large mansion and guest house. There is a small wooden dock with a warship anchored offshore. The name of the warship is "The Crimson Ravager" and it has red sails and flags and was the original ship that helped find this hidden gem.
Ghiscari Pirate Ship (Dyn) (Img) - The "Ghiscari Pirate Ship" is a large class sailing ship used primarily for war. She is fit with an unknown amount of cannons. All of her sails are black and the hull is lined with a long black stripe. Her sails consist of three tall masts which helps her sail the seas with unmatched speed. She is currently sailing the high seas east of Ithania. Lucky for us I was able to recover a document that told a tale about a vicious pillaging pirate faction called the Ghiscari. This group was led by a war mongrel called McMuffin55 who sailed across Aloria looking for treasure and power. Eventually the pirate crew took over an island called Ghiscari Island. Legend has it that all of @McMuffin55 treasure might still be hidden on this island to this day.
Rielmian Merchant Ship (DELETED) (Img) - This ship was handcrafted by a team of builders, one of which was @BornaSepic. This ship undoubtedly is the largest sailing ship in all of Aloria. She contains 7 decks which is expected from a large merchant ship. Due to its valuable cargo, the ship has been fit with 27 cannons to provide adequate protection from high sea pirates. The amount of materials housed in this ship are unlike anything ever seen. The crew member accommodations sit at the lowest deck providing ample space for sleep and storage. The captain has a spacious cabin in the top deck.
The Murderers Muse (Dyn) (Img) - The flagship of the Blackflag armada is called "The Murderers Muse". She was constructed to be the most powerful warship ever seen in Aloria. The builders of Blackflag have made a goal to have one ship for every officer. This warship was the first one built and launched to lead the fleet. This fierce warship is 125 blocks from tip to tail, has 7 decks, multiple large black sails with red lining, and 40 cannons on each side with 1 in the rear equaling a terrifying 81 cannons. This is easily one of the biggest and fiercest ships in the high seas.
Unnamed Frigate #1 (Dyn) (Img) - This ship was hand crafted by the famous ship builder @DanyWood.
Unnamed Frigate #4 (Dyn) (Img) - PENDING EXPLORATION
