Vinterra's First League: Kryos is Coming! Get ready for a brand new Vintage Story adventure! Vinterra is thrilled to announce the launch of our very first League server: Kryos! Join us on Friday, June 27th at 3:00 PM CST for a unique, short-term, adventure-based experience. Kryos plunges you into a brutal Ice Age! This modded server is locked in perpetual winter, forcing you to rely solely on stone tools. Beware, for prehistoric creatures roam everywhere, and you'll have a challenging mission to complete. Are you brave enough to survive the deep freeze?

It's been quite the adventure on Lithora! Our intrepid settlers have pushed into uncharted territories, sailing the open seas to uncover unique biomes, never-before-seen flora, and majestic rivers. We've hit a few bumps along the way, but our community is holding strong. Now, as winter blankets the land, we're hunkering down, knowing that spring's thaw is just around the corner.

Journal Log of Renath Frostseeker July 20th, 12293 Finally, the Luminora Nexus is almost done! Thank Thalos! All that is left is for the Embrite crystal to be brought back from its realm and settled into its rightful place within the Nexus. Once on the plinth, we can finally escape this desolate rock. We have truly ruined this world, so greedy, so destructive. A century, that's all it took to strip a vibrant, living planet bare. And it’s not just this one. Our people have a recurring pattern: we land on a new world, exploit its resources, activate the Nexus for realm travel, and then deplete every last bit before moving on. It's a continuous cycle of resource extraction, all transported back to Selenus—the world we consider our origin—simply to sustain its existence. Truth be told, I've picked up whispers from quite a few folks who are fed up with it all, wishing they could just live peacefully with the land instead.

Your story on Lithora is eternal. With no planned wipes (barring critical game updates), your meticulously crafted homes and magnificent builds will stand as a testament to your legacy, inspiring awe in all who pass by. Launching May 30th 3pm CST https://www.vinterra.org/lithora

Spring has returned, and the Seraphs are embarking on explorations by boat, by foot, and on hoof.

Welcome to the Winter Faire! Join your neighbors and friends around the warm fires, share stories over mead, and enjoy the merriment of games. Seek out unique gifts and treasures from local craftspeople and traveling merchants alike.

Vinterra's new season is here! We've had a fantastic launch, peaking at 61 players with an average of 20 online, six thriving towns, and many homesteads. There were a few bumps in the road, as expected with any launch. New roads are taking shape, canals are being carved out, and homes are rising as if by magic. The glow from the forges illuminates the night, while bees buzz busily in their hives, and the rust awakens, releasing its swarms. Do you have the courage to thrive in the untamed frontier, or will you lend your hand to a community and help it prosper?

Vinterra has kicked off an exciting new season! With a record of 61 players, averaging 25 and reaching peaks of 45, the game is thriving with 6 lively towns and countless homesteads.

This year's Vinterra's Faire was a sight to behold! Artisans from far and wide showcased their incredible talents, bringing everything from exquisite crafts and wares to delectable treats. The Faire wouldn't have been complete without a menagerie of fascinating creatures. From the majestic Ibex to the spotted Hyena, attendees were treated to a glimpse of the exotic animal kingdom. There was even a tale of a mighty Markhor goat, though it seems his escape attempt landed him a starring role in the "animals on the loose" show. Speaking of spectacles, the Faire boasted bountiful collections that would make any collector swoon. We're talking 36 varieties of wood, a dazzling array of 52 minerals and gems, and a staggering 13 types of stones! Metal enthusiasts marveled at the 20 different metals on display, while butterfly aficionados and seashell collectors found themselves in paradise with 35 types of butterflies and 25 types of seashells, respectively. But wait, there's more! The Faire also featured eight impressive racks of antlers, a pie that packs a punch (beware, it reduces your HP by 400!), and a restorative meal that grants a whopping +9.7 HP per serving. The drunken games, while certainly interesting, thankfully resulted in no casualties – especially during the parkour challenge. Interesting chiseled artwork has been seen at the Faire. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the wonderful participants who made Vinterra's Faire such a resounding success. Your amazing collections and dedication are what truly make the Faire shine. See you all at the next one!

The excitement for the Faire crackles in the air! Dedicated artisans are busy prepping their finest wares: Foodies: Farmers proudly raise their plumpest chickens, promising the judges a poultry prize. Bakers perfect their pie recipes, aiming for the "deadliest" (most delicious) title. Cooks dream up tantalizing meals, ready to tempt every taste bud. Crafters: Potters meticulously glaze their prettiest creations, hoping to take home the pottery crown. Rockhounds meticulously sort their collections, ready to display the rarest minerals and most fascinating fossils. Florists carefully arrange vibrant blooms, vying for the most breathtaking display. But the Faire isn't just about competition! There's a thrill in the air for: Thrilling contests: Obstacle courses will test agility, archery skills will be put to the test, and the fastest fire makers will spark awe. Rare treasures: A one-time shop promises a glimpse of the extraordinary, with unique items unseen anywhere else at the faire. This is shaping up to be an unforgettable Faire!

Seven weeks into Vinterra, the world continues to bloom! Towns flourish and new settlements sprout like wildflowers. Spawn points are being secured, creating safe havens for arriving Seraphs. While wildlife might not be a threat, those crafty drifters, well, they'll always find a way to stir things up! Mark your calendars! The inaugural Community Fair is set for April 20th-21st, 2024. Prepare to be amazed by: Animal Husbandry Showcases: From the most impressive multi-generational bloodlines to the most diverse collections of creatures, there's something for every animal lover. The Great Vinterra Bake-Off: Two categories will test your baking prowess: "Sweetest Satisfaction" (highest satiety) and "Death by Dessert" (most potently poisonous pie... for display purposes only, of course!). Drunken Olympics: Put your coordination (or lack thereof) to the test in hilarious (and slightly inebriated) competitions like archery, obstacle courses, and chiseling challenges. Get ready for a weekend of fun, competition, and community spirit in Vinterra!

Things have been a little quieter in Vinterra since the Stardew Valley update, with players taking a well-deserved break to enjoy some real-life fun. But the spirit of exploration is alive and well! Adventurers are pushing the boundaries of the world, venturing into the deepest forests, scaling the highest mountains, and seeking out hidden translocators. Where will they lead? Closer to the comforts of civilization, or deeper into the wild unknown? Exciting events are brewing in Vinterra, with a focus on building a thriving community. A collaborative effort is underway to improve the spawn area, making it more welcoming for new players. The vision extends beyond that, with plans to establish a dedicated Community area featuring: Marketplace: Bustling with stalls and shops offering a wide variety of wares and goods. Bank: A central hub for a standardized currency, facilitating trade and transactions. Arena: A place for players to test their mettle in battles, both against each other and fearsome beasts.

Bustling villages and grand structures rise from the land, a testament to the tireless efforts of its inhabitants. Food stores overflow, a testament to their ingenuity. A renowned potion shop attracts customers from afar, a beacon of their alchemical prowess. Translocators, marvels of magical engineering, link towns and solo players, weaving Vinterra ever closer. But amidst this flourishing realm, a question lingers. Sculptures, magnificent testaments to artistic vision, stand crafted from the rarest materials: gold, glass, marble. Each, in its unique beauty, reflects a facet of Vinterra's soul. Yet, who has sculpted the greatest masterpiece?

We required discord as it has our rules players must agree to, as well as being able to vote, communicate, and participate in events with IRL prizes.

Vinterra's Infrastructure Boom! Calling all chisel artists! It's sculpture showdown week! Will you craft a majestic creature, a breathtaking seraph, a mind-bending abstract form, or something entirely out of your imagination? Let your creativity soar! These masterpieces might just become part of a permanent sculpture garden in our common grounds. With trade flourishing thanks to new roads linking settlements, the creative minds of Vinterra are in high demand! But the question remains - how to conquer the next frontier? The Mountain Challenge: Over the Peaks: Should the new roads traverse the majestic mountains, offering breathtaking views but requiring daring engineering? Tunneling Through: Perhaps burrowing directly through the mountains is a safer, more efficient option, but what challenges lie beneath the surface? Island Navigation: Seafaring Innovation: Can Vinterra's inventors design buoys to light the way or even bridges to connect the islands, or will fantastical solutions like underwater walkways be explored?

Vinterra: Two Weeks of Booming Growth Vinterra continues to blossom! Just two weeks in, the landscape has transformed dramatically. Four new towns have sprung up from the wilderness, joining the existing four. With eight towns for all newcomers to visit or join. Countless brave individuals have staked their claims, forging solo and duo settlements. The dream of these fledgling communities blossoming into vibrant cities, adorned with majestic castles, soaring towers, and bustling streets, already inspires the hearts of Vinterra's inhabitants. Commerce flourishes across the land. Shops line the streets of budding towns, offering a diverse array of goods – Potion shops brim with elixirs that grant the power to illuminate the darkness, double the bounty of mining, or grant enhanced agility. Smithies ring with the rhythmic clang of crafting, providing essential tools, weapons, and capacious storage solutions. For weary adventurers, taverns open their doors, offering a warm refuge and a unique selection of fine wines, brandies, and whiskies. Trade facilitating the exchange of everything from mysterious Jonas parts to tailored gambeson armor. Marking a significant milestone, the first community event – the construction of a network of roads connecting spawn with multiple towns and homesteads has been successfully completed. This vital infrastructure paves the way for smoother travel, trade, and further exploration. The future holds exciting prospects. The upcoming statue building event promises to be a testament to Vinterra's artistic spirit. With many talented chisel artists already showcasing their skills in exquisite creations adorning homes, shops, and settlements, the competition promises to be a dazzling display of creativity. As Vinterra continues to evolve, one thing is certain: the future is bright for this thriving frontier.

Vinterra has survived it’s first week The first snowflake, a tiny harbinger of doom,has landed. Winter has arrived on Vinterra's shores. The first Week has been eventful and challenging, but the community has prospered. Smoke curled from chimneys, whispers of hope against the stark canvas of winter. Four settlements, each a testament to different dreams, stood resolute. Yet, beneath the bravado, a flicker of doubt. Had the blacksmith stockpiled enough tools? Did the farmer hoard sufficient seeds? The lone Seraph on the windswept hilltop, their solitary cabin dwarfed by the snow-laden pines, had they prepared for the long, howling nights alone? The server host endured a DDoS attack pausing all progress. Herbarium mod coughed up error messages like a malfunctioning printer, causing the server to repeatedly crash. One player, mistakenly linked to the chaos, became the legendary "Blood God." The community rallied, their diverse skills converging in a digital war room. From seasoned coders to resourceful players, they pinpointed the issue and crafted a fix. A testament to their unwavering spirit and the power of community. What shall the next week bring with the arrival of Spring? Can fledgling settlements blossom into bustling towns, their dreams of brick and mortar, rising with the sap taps? Will new pioneers carve their own paths in the wilderness, their homesteads testament to the spirit of exploration? Barter and collaboration could weave a tapestry of prosperity, each settlement a thread in the fabric of a burgeoning economy.

Prepare to embark on a grand journey: Find fellowship: Mingle with other travelers in bustling port towns, forge alliances with seasoned veterans, or discover hidden communities nestled amidst the wilderness. Together, you can brave the elements, overcome challenges, and build a new life in this untamed land. Embrace the wilderness: Venture into the untamed wilds, where towering mountains pierce the sky, vast plains stretch as far as the eye can see, and hidden valleys teem with life.

Do you crave the camaraderie of others or the thrill of solo exploration? What challenges do you seek to conquer?

From Humble Hearths to Frozen Frontiers: The Seraphs of Vinterra Claim Their Home Brave solo adventurers have made their claim on Vinterra. They have fought through the winter, fended off multitudes of drifters and the living dead, securing their place in the world with builds that will last the test of time itself. From Cozy kitchens to prepare and preserve food, to vast keeps and grand halls. Homes against the warm summer rains, to cabins in the arctic chill discovering untapped resources. All Seraphs have found their way to their new homes, they shall thrive and prosper. Vinterra's Whispers: An Egg-cellent Calamity Averted! First Event Completed. During the late spring, monstrous reptilian creatures had migrated across Vinterra’s spawn island, leaving behind a vast collection of eggs. Should’ve these eggs hatched, they would have unleashed a catastrophic torrent of ravenous reptiles, their insatiable hunger consuming all in their path - Seraphs, fields, forests, and creatures alike. With hands that steadied against the primal fear, they ventured forth, gathering the monstrous eggs, one by one. Each egg, a ticking time bomb of devastation, was carried with resolute purpose. Each egg destroyed by fire, leaving not a trace behind. The whispers of the monstrous migration fade into a distant memory, replaced by the joyous celebration of Vinterra saved. But even in the face of this hard-won victory, a sliver of doubt remains. For who can say for certain that every last egg has been found? May’ve a Seraph kept an egg for its strange beauty? Somewhere, in a hidden crevice or forgotten corner, could a lone egg begin to hatch?

Vinterra's Untamed Wilderness Awaits: Join the Saga A week has elapsed since Vinterra's gates unlatched, and fearless adventurers have ventured into its boundless expanse.

The French Legion's architectural achievements are not mere edifices of stone and mortar; they are tangible manifestations of the kingdom's unwavering spirit. Each castle, each cathedral, and each monument bears witness to the legionnaires' dedication, their craftsmanship, and their unwavering commitment to their homeland. Wardenhelm: May we all strive to create a world like Wardenhelm, where humanity and nature coexist in harmony, and where the legacy of respect and sustainability is passed down from generation to generation. SmallVille serves as a gentle reminder that embracing one's eccentricities is not a sign of weakness but rather a testament to the boundless creativity that lies within each of us. It is a place where we can shed our inhibitions, let our imaginations soar, and revel in the beauty of being uniquely ourselves. The Swinging Lantern Inn is open for all travelers. Wellspring is a peculiar city that defies all logic and reason. Its inhabitants, having long abandoned the shackles of sanity, embrace the chaos that surrounds them, reveling in the absurdity of existence. Emboldened by the spirit of exploration, other communities have ventured beyond the familiar confines of Spawn Island, embarking on arduous journeys to carve their own destinies in the vast expanse of Vinterra. Their intrepid spirit and unwavering determination have led them to distant corners of the world, where they are leaving an indelible mark on the landscape. Their stories will be chronicled in the next chapter of Vinterra's saga, where we shall delve into their trials, triumphs, and the indelible legacy they are forging in this uncharted realm. Stay tuned to witness their unwavering commitment to transforming Vinterra's wilderness into thriving havens of civilization.
