Good day everyone. Just a quick progress update on the new Age.

Four years ago, I proposed the Age of Darkness II. I believed then, as I do now, that for new stories to grow, the old ones must eventually become ruins. That philosophy is finally becoming reality once again, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see.

Day by day, the world is shifting and reshaping. New lands are forming, and the entire map is evolving. It’s a careful balancing act: preserving what matters most while making space for the next chapter of The Ancient World.

It will still feel like the world you know and love. Just… older. And more Ancient 🙂

I’ll share a lot more when it’s ready.

The Website

Over on the website side, I’ve been repairing hundreds of broken links in The Codex, writing new articles, and cleaning up older ones. It’s honestly in the best shape it’s ever been, and the amount of history in there keeps growing.

I encourage you to take a look and explore. If you’ve been around for a while, you might be surprised by the small details and memories you’d forgotten.

The history of The Ancient World is so exhaustive but I believe it’s imperative that it’s properly documented. I have a lot of memories of TAW, but you never know how reliable our memories will be years from now. Small but important details are easy to forget – which is why I’m trying to do the work of archiving it all now so we’ll always remember our history.

If you played on The Ancient World and have a story to tell, I’d love for you to make a Codex Submission. It can be anything – your character, your faction, a place, an artifact, or a moment you remember. If it mattered to you, it belongs in the history.

Thanks everyone!
