Sitting back tonight and thinking about the old days on Dragon Coast: Erithorn's Might.

For anyone who spent time logged into that world, you know it was a different era of persistent world RP. The scale of the world building, the player-driven narratives, and the sheer passion put into every corner of the map were top tier. Wearing two hats back then playing a character full-time while also stepping up as a DM gave me a front-row seat to some of the best player driven storytelling I’ve ever experienced.

My main focus as a player was Cyrus Rackham. Cyrus was a blend of Bard, Fighter, and Weapon Master, built for high-stakes adventure, sharp wit, and fast steel.

He wasn't just swinging swords, though. Cyrus was known across the realm as an author and musician, writing several in-game books and dropping musical hits in the local taverns. He actually penned the very first number one hit in server history: Jaya the Harlot. If you spent any time in the local haunts, you definitely heard that tune blasted out more than a few times. When he wasn't singing or drinking, he was usually in good company, whether hanging out with Holly, the well-known local barmaid, trading banter with fellow bard Vindarion the elf, or standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the legendary human Paladin, Alexander Harper.

When it came to combat, Cyrus fought with dual scimitars, mechanically represented as a pair of trusty cutlasses named Discord and Rhyme. Rhyme was earned through an unforgettable custom DM quest that had him scrambling across the moonlit rooftops of Erithorn. Pretty sure it took well over 4 hours. Thanks DM Hellcow.

Home base for Cyrus was his beloved Galleon, The Devil's Ante, permanently anchored down at Maelfrist Hold. It served as a safe haven, a meeting spot for conspirators, and the backdrop for endless late-night roleplay sessions.

Pretty sure this build of the world was during a huge server event where the sun was being magically blocked hence the permanent darkness.

Any one ever heard of it?
