Home - ALFA: Sea of Swords

Experience D&D 3.5e in an epic realization of the classic Faerun setting.

A Land Far Away (‘ALFA’): Sea of Swords is a Persistent World for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. Players role play characters in a living, breathing world that is built and run by other players who act as Dungeon Masters.

Our goal is to recreate the classic Forgotten Realms tabletop D&D (3.5e) experience, in a videogame medium.

ALFA: Sea of Swords is for players that want the world to feel realistic. Our philosophy is based around the creation of an immersive world that is focuses on roleplay, challenging gameplay, and meaningful risk (including D&D 3.5e death mechanics).

ALFA: Sea of Swords loves new players! We’re a friendly bunch of nerds, so feel free to join the Sea of Swords Discord and ask questions. We’ll be happy to help you get started!

Our game

ALFA: Sea of Swords is a single persistent world, made up of the linked Sea of Swords and Moonshae Isles servers. Player characters can start on either of the two servers and travel between them via server portal, traversing vast portions of the Forgotten Realms setting – including the huge metropolis of Waterdeep, the Sword Mountains, and the duchy of Daggerford – all brought to life with the latest custom content and graphics modifications.

How to play

Just get a copy of Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition (usually available for only a few dollars on Steam or GOG). Select ‘Multiplayer’, then ‘Join Internet Game’. Sort the server list by name by clicking the top of the ‘Server Name’ column – our servers are called ALFA: Sea of Swords, and ALFA: SOS – Moonshaes.

ALFA uses NWSync, so it’s easy to get started; all custom content will be downloaded automatically when you first log into one of our servers.

We always welcome new players and would love for you to give us a shot. Don’t forget to join our Discord to chat with us and other ALFA players.

The ALFA Legacy

ALFA: Sea of Swords is an unofficial ALFA project based on the official project’s wonderful, unsupported Neverwinter Nights 1 servers that were built by scores of builders for over a thousand players. Our team keeps that legacy alive and has dedicated itself to providing a modernized version of one of NWN’s greatest persistent worlds.
