What's inside Eternia
- The official staff documentation for Eternia: Chronicles of Meranthe serves as the central source of truth for the administration team. Its primary purpose is to ensure consistency, fairness, transparency, and efficiency in rulings, player dispute resolution, and day-to-day administrative responsibilities. Staff members are expected to consult this documentation first when making rulings to maintain alignment with existing policies and precedents.
Understand Watchtower benefits and mechanics
Watchtowers are settlement-requested structures that provide two primary mechanical benefits: they increase the scouting range of faction members when near the tower and can modify capture rules under specific conditions.Handle collar tampering attempts
When a player attempts to interfere with a collar (e.g., via artificing), follow these notification and escalation steps:
- Alert all involved parties that the remote holder will be notified. This includes the remote holder, the prisoner, the individual attempting the removal, and other present characters.
- If the warden (remote holder) is online, they must be ticketed and alerted.
- The warden may choose to contest the action; a scene-lock may be requested until the warden is present.
- Once the warden is present, they may escalate the situation as they see fit.
Use the Edit command for complex object and mob modifications
The
Editcommand provides a menu for making complex changes to objects and mobs. It should be the primary choice for modifications before attempting to usevaredit. Specifically, use the Edit menu for:- Adjusting Stances

Staff members can access spawnable items by teleporting to coordinates 1, 1, 3. When taking or spawning an item, you must duplicate the item first and take the copy to avoid removing the original from the spawn area.Coordinates: 1, 1, 3Use the Ghost command for admin invisibility
The Ghost command allows administrators to make their admin key invisible to players and translucent to other administrators. This is used to move around the game world without being seen by the general player base. Note that usage is logged, and moderators are prohibited from haunting private scenes unless specific admin observation is required.Configure player sprite opacity using CosmeticBuff
To create ghost-like or semi-transparent player sprites, use the CosmeticBuff (Cosmetic Toggle Buff) spell. This is typically used for spectres, spirits, or ghost characters. To ensure the effect persists, set bothcan_refundandcan_rebirth_refundto 0. The transparency is controlled by thealpha_transformvalue, where 0 is fully visible and 255 is completely invisible. For a standard ghost-like appearance, a value between 100 and 155 is recommended, starting at 120–155 and adjusting for visual clarity.{ "can_refund": 0, "can_rebirth_refund": 0, "alpha_transform": 120 // Range: 0 (visible) to 255 (invisible) }Send global announcements via Event Announce
The Event Announce command is used to send global announcements through the IC (In-Character) channel. It supports cross-posting notifications to Discord and is intended for use during wars or major global events.Claim Longevity Incentive rewards at RPL 230
Characters who reach RPL 230 are eligible for a longevity incentive based on their current signature status:
- Characters without a signature may choose a Master Signature Spell.
- Characters who already possess a Master Signature may upgrade it to an Exalted Signature of their choice. Note that Exalted Signatures should not be overly lore-intensive; however, players are encouraged to request them and discuss the details with staff.
