The World of Vanalir Soul Co. D&D Discord Community est. March 2022 125 worldwide players - 5 Game Masters - 18 staff
The world of Vanalir is an ancient one, tracing it's deep roots back to a catacylsmic beginning when many colliding energies met at one single point in time, unifying to create the rich and vibrant place that is home and haven to so many. It is a world filled ripe with hope and the promise of opportunity, yet even still- darkness is an insidious and patient entity, ever watchful. Where there is light, so there are too shadows and malice, creeping forth and shrouding all in their path.
As the seasons pass over Vanalir and her lands, the ultimate balance of the world seems to shift towards the darkness, evident in the way that the world is not so bright and hopeful as it was in Ages past. This era is one of strife and despair, as many of Vanalir's heroes struggle to find direction and bring hope to the general population. The ceaseless and ever-persistent raiding from the Orkrumme leave many cities' military forces in compromised positions, too-small and scattered forces attempting to hold down both the home front and push back against these mindless mercenaries. Strange and mystical weather patterns give rise to whispers from the Elders and Seers of the world, as Shambleacre is nearly overtaken by a foul and necrotic fog. From beneath Faeyis herself too come threats, from the Underdark metropolis of Melve Dorae, as the Matron Maeviir works tirelessly to solidify her hold, and infiltrate surrounding cities with sneaking, dark tendrils.
With forces working against Newholm from all directions, some ethereal forces have taken notice and work in their mysterious ways to tip the scales back, yet still- there is a glaring need for a new rise of adventurers to take up the crusader's mantle and become the torch in the night. There are whispers amongst the places of old, deeply hidden in the recesses of the world's ancient civilizations, of a great power required to vanquish Evil once and for all however such power is unheard of for one mortal alone to wield. Will there be anyone amongst the nations of Vanalir to stand in the face of Evil's greatest rise yet? Only time will tell...

Good morning ya'll, and happy Hump Day! Is this week dragging you down? Join Vanalir today to become a part of tons of exciting adventures that are sure to boost your spirits!
I have been with This server for about 5 months now. I entered having very little knowledge of DnD in general. The amount of people that helped me with anything I asked, give it basic character information to Avrae coding, was amazing. The Owners, Power couple Khrys and Drak, Strive to provide the best environment they can for Roleplay and Mechanical fanatics alike. They have Lots of side stories that are formed BY the players. Relationships, Friendships, even rivalries. New quests are being made currently, and others are being rotated out as a means to keep everything fresh and engaging! I highly Recommend giving the server a try! <3
I'm the newest GM on Vanalir, and probably one of the people you'll see the most of!
Vanalir is a Story-Driven DnD world. On Vanalir stats don't matter as much as how creative you can be, isn't that neat?! This is a world where you can be literally *anything* you wanna be, (Within reason, of course,) and where the only limit to how far you go in Vanalir is how far do you *want* to go?
I joined the server back in April. I had a level 1 Eladrin Sorcerer. I was a newb. I had literally *zero* clue what I was doing. Then Khrys, and Drak, and everyone else at the time taught me how DnD works, and how their server works. Within my first 3 months, I made it to DM, now after seven months of being a Member, I am a GM, with a lvl 20 Eladrin Duke and most importantly, I have *friends.*
Even if you ignored the fact that we come together to write cool stories and play DnD, the first thing you'll notice about Vanalir is that we are one great big family. Maybe we aren't always a happy family, but we are a family.
Hey! My names Care and I’m just here to say that since my first day on the server ( Aug 2022 ) I have felt such a connection and sense of community within this world. The stores are fun and the game play is welcoming to any player, new or old! There are loads of helpful GM/DM and players to guide and answer questions. An ever changing world and interactive story will reel you in and keep you on your toes! Overall I recommend anyone just popping in and saying ‘hey!’, you’ll be warmly greeted and welcomed.
now I play a Bard so here is my shtick —
Calling all the geeks, let's take an adventure In the world of Vanalir, we're moving hotter Gather 'round the table, it's time to play Dungeons and Dragons, get ready to slay
Twelve dragons, three dungeons, can't catch a break Dice rolling powers activated, for goodness' sake Crossing rivers, scaling mountains, ain't no jest In Vanalir, you bet each quest's the best
Vanalir in the house, gonna have some fun Roll the dice, find treasure, quest ain't done With wild imagination, we make our mark Get your characters ready, it's time to embark
Dungeon master keeps us all on our toes With traps so tricky, we trip on our own nose But we laugh and giggle, never missing a beat Even when our characters face defeat
So, gather your friends, this game's off the charts Vanalir awaits with laughter-filled hearts In this whimsical land, adventure's the deal Dungeons and Dragons, our laughter's real.
Hello, I'm Drak! I'm the mechanic behind the scenes, programming custom things for Avrae to help the server along (and many other things, but that's besides the point). I joined this server as a player in August of 2022, hoping to fill the void between my table sessions and be able to play (I DM all of my table sessions....). I'm the kind of person that gets bored after a month and moves on to something else...but clearly, I didn't do thst here.
I made staff by October of last year, then quickly became a GM, and now I'm one of the admins over there. But what kept me isn't any of that. It's truly the community. We are kind, loving, inclusive, supportive...there's never a lack of kind words for those who need it. My friends are all here. I answer to Drak in real life now, because all my friends call me that.
As for the DnD side...that part is amazing. Always quests running, all the side stuff to gain XP and just Roleplay until your hearts content. I personally have 4 level 20 characters that all started at level 1. I can't get enough of the game play, the interaction, and the fun of being able to have my characters live out their lives. 2 are in relationships, 1 might be starting one, and the last one has no romantic desire (but is friends with everyone, just ask for Nen). So much RP, so much story, built with other players as a player. It's rich, and you truly can get so much out of it.
But verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so please, come join us and find out what the fun is all about.
Afternoon ya'll, hope your Monday isn't the Mondayest Monday ever! Need a pick me up? Come check out our D&D server- we recently promoted two new DMs, and we have tons of new quests available for your story needs today!
On our server we offer different daily events to keep ya'll engaged and playing- and today's event is a lottery in our general chat with some pretty awesome prizes! Come and give us a look see today!

In the world of Vanalir, we're moving hotter
Gather 'round the table, it's time to play
Dungeons and Dragons, get ready to slay
Twelve dragons, three dungeons, can't catch a break
Dice rolling powers activated, for goodness' sake
Crossing rivers, scaling mountains, ain't no jest
In Vanalir, you bet each quest's the best
Vanalir in the house, gonna have some fun
Roll the dice, find treasure, quest ain't done
With wild imagination, we make our mark
Get your characters ready, it's time to embark
Dungeon master keeps us all on our toes
With traps so tricky, we trip on our own nose
But we laugh and giggle, never missing a beat
Even when our characters face defeat
So, gather your friends, this game's off the charts
Vanalir awaits with laughter-filled hearts
In this whimsical land, adventure's the deal
Dungeons and Dragons, our laughter's real.
