A Land Far Away (‘ALFA’) is a set of Persistent Worlds 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 tell cooperative, dynamic, long-term stories in the Forgotten Realms (D&D 3.5) setting.
ALFA is for players that want the world to feel realistic. Our philosophy is based around the creation of a believable and immersive world that is focuses on roleplay and challenging gameplay. We find our fun through believable characters, character development, and meaningful risk, represented by ALFA’s hardcore ruleset, including permadeath, and we think that enhances the player experience.
ALFA: Sea of Swords loves new players! We’re always trying our best to improve the new player experience to make sure it’s a fun introduction to our world. Above all, we’re a friendly bunch of nerds, so feel free to join the Sea of Swords Discord and ask questions and we’ll be happy to help you get started!
ALFA: Sea of Swords
ALFA: Sea of Swords is a single persistent world, made up of the linked Daggerford & Waterdeep, Baldur’s Gate, and the Moonshae Isles servers. Player characters can start in any one of the three servers and travel between them via server portal, traversing vast portions of the Forgotten Realms setting, brought to life with the latest custom content and graphics modifications. Experience AD&D 3.5e in an epic realization of the classic Faerun setting.
