Magic Colours

**Magic Colours** will be purchasable from the Store and will change the colour of the particle effects that are generated when the player casts a spell.

### Types

By default, the magic particles are white. Additional particle effects can be bought from the Store using tokens. There are many types of effects - with solid colour effects being cheaper, and ones that fade between colours or have unique shapes being more expensive.

When a player becomes a Dragon Rider, they unlock a magic effect that is the same colour as their dragon for free (TBC).

### Build Status

Complete

**Carvahall** is a small village in Palancar Valley. It is well known as the place where Eragon started his journey and met his father, Brom. You can watch a cinematic of Carvahall here.

## Features

### Notable Locations

* Igualda Falls
* Eragon's House

## Development

Carvahall was one of the few locations on MCAlagaësia IV that was completed. The build was led by Morryatay and contributed to by many members of the early MCAlagaësia Team.

Beginning in March 2016, Carvahall was rebuilt on MCAlagaësia 2 in a similar style by Hotline\_101 and KiaWolf. Most of this build was recorded and published in a video called *Building Carvahall*.

Later, TorchWoodRC built some of the interiors.

In April 2020, OcelotEmpire built a campsite in the Spine close to Carvahall, in reference to the camp made by the villagers when they left the village in Eldest.

## Music

While in Carvahall, the following music will play:

"Peaceful Bustle", the track that plays in the morning and throughout the day.

"The People We Know", the track that plays at dusk and throughout the night.

**Dras-Leona** is a large human settlement on the shores of Leona Lake. The city is built around a large cathedral in the centre, where the citizens of the city go to worship Helgrind.

## Features

### Notable Locations

* Temple of Helgrind
* Catacombs of Dras-Leona

## Development

There have been 2 iterations of Dras-Leona.

### First Iteration

* Building Timelapse Part 1 (Old)
* Building Timelapse Part 2 (Old)
* Building Timelapse Part 3 (Old)

jackames0 worked on a hill close to the city around this time.

### Second Iteration

In July 2016, it was decided that Dras-Leona needed to be rebuilt. Once again, Hotline\_101 chose to take on the project and started by removing the old city on the 31st July 2016. In addition, he created the Catacombs of Dras-Leona and the Temple of Helgrind (which he finished on 8th September 2016). TorchWoodRC, fredo747, Chingom, Shameful\_Zebra, Lyyroth, teagoth and Yehs also helped to build this version of the city. Crack worked on some of the interiors. You can watch videos of the building process here:

* Removing old Dras-Leona Timelapse

Mundane Healing

**Mundane Healing** is a game mechanic that allows the player to heal themselves or another player (without using magic).

## Healing

Right-click while holding a bandage to heal yourself for 1 heart. Once you have used a bandage, it is destroyed.

To heal another player, right-click on them with a bandage. Then, right-click with  Scissors within 5 seconds. This will heal them for 2 hearts. If you *also* use a  Bottle of Ointment within the 5 seconds, they will be healed for 4 hearts. Once another player has been healed, they cannot be healed again for 5 minutes.

#### Chat Feedback

Chat messages are used to inform the player of what is happening in the healing process.
Urgal

**Urgals** are one of the intelligent races of Alagaësia. They are also one of the races that the player can play as (see Character Customisation for more info).

## Urgal NPCs

Urgal NPCs are found in The Spine or other uninhabited areas. Urgal Merchants will give the player a 15% discount to a player if they are playing as an Urgal.

## Urgal

### Speed

1.2x vanilla

The player is able to play as an Urgal, once they have completed the required quest to unlock the race.

### Advantages

* Urgals can wield heavy weapons, which other races cannot (Dwarves can also do this) TBC.
* Urgals can access the Barrows of Anghelm for free, without having to complete the required quest.
* Urgals get a 15% discount from Urgal NPCs.

### Disadvantages

* Urgals are the most disregarded race among other races. This means that non-Urgal NPCs should be somewhat hostile to Urgals - that doesn't necessarily mean all NPCs will attack Urgals (of course, some might, such as guard-NPCs), but they could offer slightly reduced rewards for quests or merchants asking higher prices.
* Urgals burn through hunger and thirst due to their size. 1.25x faster burn rate on hunger and thirst.

**Bullridge** is a small human settlement on the bank of the Ramr River.

## Development

There have been 2 iterations of Bullridge since the project began.

### First Bullridge

The first Bullridge was started in MCAlagaësia IV, in March 2015. It was built by TARDIScrew and Lubenqwe. The building process was recorded and published in a video called *Building Bullridge Pt 1*.

### Second Bullridge

The second iteration of Bullridge was started by Crack around 2016. He worked on the project until he retired, at which point the project was half complete. In 2016, an attempt was made by yehs on a third version of the city, with help from Chingom. However, yehs left the team shortly after taking on the project, and the decision was made to restore the second version of Bullridge, as very little progress had been made on the third.

About a year later, Crack returned to the team and completed Bullridge with the help of J\_cob\_G and TorchWoodRC. The settlement was completed within 2 months of Crack's return.

MCAlagaësia

**MCAlagaësia** (often abbreviated to 'MCA') is the map building project dedicated to recreating Christopher Paolini's world of Alagaësia in Minecraft.

It is related to the MMORPG Arcaena, which uses the MCAlagaësia map as the game map.

The group responsible for building MCAlagaësia is known as The MCAlagaësia Team.

## Iterations

There have been five iterations of the MCAlagaësia map, two of which have been hosted on whitelisted servers for building.

### MCAlagaësia Mk I

MCAlagaësaia was a small version of the map created by Hellomynameis99 in 2012, and the only version made without the visual aid of an overlay. This iteration was scrapped when Hellomynameis99 discovered new WorldPainter features that would allow for the creation of a higher quality map.

### MCAlagaësia Mk IV

Main article: MCAlagaësia IV
MCAlagaësia IV is the first of two versions that were hosted on a server, allowing staff to join and build on the map. It is sometimes referred to as 'MCAlagaësia 1.5'.

### MCAlagaësia 2

Main article: MCAlagaësia 2
MCAlagaësia 2 is the second and current version of MCAlagaësia that was hosted on a server, allowing staff to join and build on the map. The 'Mark' naming scheme was dropped with this version, indicating that this would be the final map for the foreseeable future. The team has been working on this version of the map since April 2015.

Dragon Rider

Players can become a **Dragon Rider** by having a  Dragon Egg hatch for them. Once this happens, they get the achievement ***Shur'tugal***. The dragon will then begin growing, as described on the page on dragons. Characters of any race can become a Dragon Rider.

### Riders' Dragons

Main article: Dragon
Dragons hatch from a Dragon Egg, which are extremely rare. They only will hatch when the dragon inside decides you are fit for being a rider, which is implemented as a probability.

### Dragon Rider Content

Once the player becomes a Dragon Rider, new content is available to them:

* They can start the quest "Mind Over Metal" by talking to Rhunön, which ends with obtaining a Rider's Sword.
Grappling Hook

Grappling Hooks are valuable tools that can be used to traverse up a wall. This is very useful for getting to areas that you wouldn't otherwise be able to reach in the world of Alagaësia, and also for getting over Stronghold Walls when attacking a Stronghold.

## Obtaining

### Loot

Grappling Hooks can be found rarely in Loot Chests.

## Usage

The player right-clicks while holding a grappling hook to shoot it. When they do this, a hook on a line is shot out (similar to a fishing rod). The line stops when it hits something, or gets 20 blocks away from the player.

* When the hook hits nothing - nothing happens.
* When the hook hits a wall - the player is pulled towards the wall.
* When the hook hits an entity - the entity is pulled towards the player.

## Development

**Orthíad** is a large underground dwarven settlement in the Beor Mountains.

## Development

The project was started by Hellomynameis99 in June 2015 (building timelapse here). Later, project management was handed over to Soul\_Games around 2016-17 and then Bakes32 in 2018. Nikradical also worked on the project around the same time, working on the cave walls and the tiered levels. In February 2018, 80Active worked on the ceiling of the cave. Fredo747 and Hotline101 have been working on the project intermittently since the project began.

Character Customisation

The player will be able to customise their character. It is confirmed that players will be able to customise their name, race and gender. Once they have selected these options, the player will be able to customise their character's physical appearance. You can see examples of these customisations on each of the race pages (human, elf, Urgal or dwarf).

### Customising name

Players will be able to customise their name, which will be used in-game in place of their username. They are given a selection of different randomly generated names to choose from. The style of names generated is based on the selected race and gender. Or, the player can enter a custom name! There is likely to be a profanity filter on this setting, and the player will not be able to have the same name as any of the characters from the books.

### Customising race

*"They'll be balanced. Every race can have upsides and downsides, including humans. The best outcome for us is that choosing a race is a hard decision." -* Hellomynameis99, Project Leader

Players will be able to select a race to play as. These races will be human, elf, Urgal or dwarf. Humans will be unlocked for free, but the other races will require the player to complete a quest to unlock them. There is no current plan to be able to play as a dragon, Ra'zac or werecat. Each race will have different attributes. For example, movement speed might differ between races. When a player first spawns into the game, they will spawn at a specific minor settlement belonging to the player's chosen race.

Human

**Humans** are one of the intelligent races of Alagaësia. They are also one of the races that the player can play as (see Character Customisation for more info). Humans are generally an all-round good race to play.

## Human NPCs

Human NPCs are found all over the map. Human Merchants will give the player a 15% discount to a player if they are playing as an human.

## Human Players

The player is able to play as an human. Human is the only race that is unlocked by default.

## Human

### Advantages

* Humans travel at the same speed as a vanilla Minecraft player.
* Humans can access Urû'baen for free, without having to complete the required quest.
* Humans get a 15% discount from Human NPCs. This is particularly advantageous as there is a lot more human NPCs and settlements than any other race.

### Build Status

Complete

**Aroughs** is a large human settlement in southern Alagaësia. Three canals feed into the city from the north, providing easy transport to the mills further upstream.

### Notable Locations

* Aroughs Palace
* Undercroft Black Market

## Development

There have been many iterations of Aroughs. Before 2017, there were several undocumented versions of the city, with the earliest of these planned by TARDIScrew. The most recent of these early iterations started construction in 2016, with barrel72 as project manager. Hellomynameis99 designed and built the walls in this version, paying special attention to natural curves to avoid right-angle sudden direction changes. It came close to completion before it was decided that the city needed to be redone.

A new version of Aroughs was started in late 2017. Izet planned out the new city, and constructed some buildings. The Palace at the centre of the city was built by Hotline\_101 and Thalon. This iteration was also contributed to by Fredo747 and Bakes32.

The canals leading into the city were created by Hellomynameis99 and ShamefulZebra. The second Aroughs was completed in 2018.

In 2020, AoWork created some Palace Gardens and improved some exteriors. Nikradical also made some changes to the canals in the same year, and \_Crack made some improvements to the interiors. In 2021, Vmoosey changed some of the blocks in the build due to a texture pack update.

Eldunarí

An **Eldunarí** is a part of a Dragon that can be disgorged (ejected from their body) at will. They are incredibly Powerful.

## Obtaining

### Disgorgement

If a Dragon has reached growth stage 4, they can be asked to disgorge their Eldunarí by their Rider. However, the dragon may refuse if they do not trust their Rider.

## Usage

### Communicating

If a player is holding a Dragon's Eldunarí, then they can talk to it (See 'Chat AI' under dragons). If the dragon that the Eldunarí came from is still alive, holding its Eldunarí allows the player to communicate with the dragon from any distance, instead of being restricted to a certain distance.

### Sharing Energy

An Eldunarí will slowly acquire a store of energy. Unlike gemstones, this happens passively and does not require the player to fill it up. The player can take from this energy store at any time if the Eldunarí allows them to. The Eldunarí may refuse to do so if it has low regard for the player. This could be caused if the player has done something that the dragon inside does not approve of.

## Death

It is currently unconfirmed what will happen to an Eldunarí if it is destroyed.

## Achievements

There are several achievements related to Eldunarí.

* ***Unlimited Power*** - Absorb energy from an Eldunarí.
* ***Heart of a Dragon*** - Aquire an Eldunarí.
* ***You found two?!?*** - Aquire a second Eldunarí.
* ***Hoarder*** - Collect 5 Eldunarí.
* ★ ***Galbatorix Wannabe*** - Collect 10 Eldunarí.
Coins

Coins are the main currency of Arcaena. You can use coins to trade with Merchant NPCs, or obtain items from a Greedy Chest.

The **Catacombs of Dras-Leona** is a mid-difficulty dungeon beneath the Temple of Helgrind in Dras-Leona. 3 players are required to open the dungeon.

### Walkthrough

The Catacombs are located underneath the Temple of Helgrind in Dras-Leona. Enter the temple (the large, black building in the middle). In the middle of the building, turn right. There are 2 statues there - Lord Tabor and Tosk. Go into the tunnel behind them, and follow the below map to the pressure plates. Each of the 3 players need to stand on the pressure plates simultaneously. Once this happens, a bell will ring.

Once you hear the bell, navigate to the door (marked in red on the map).

(Rest of walkthrough to be added).

### Development

The Catacombs were desgined and built by Hotline\_101.
Shade

**Shades** are extremely powerful hostile boss mobs that can be found in certain dungeons. They also spawn very occasionally at a random locations in the world. When this happens, a bot will post a message in Discord to notify players that a Shade has spawned.

## Shade Enemies

Shades are able to use magic against players within range.

## Shade Players

It is possible that the player may be able to transform into a Shade by completing a Dungeon. Becoming a Shade would make the player extremely powerful. It is unclear what powers the player will have if they choose to do this.

Thulkarvoc

**Coordinates**

-5035, -1042

**Thulkarvoc** is a small Urgal village in The Spine. It is notable for being the village Eragon and Saphira flew over on their way to Vroengard.

## Development

Thulkarvoc was built by Keeperofthegoldn in February 2021. The stream running through the town all the way to the Toark River was created by Shadow204, with the glacier feeding it constructed by Hellomynameis99. The village was known as 'urgal-1' before it was given an official name.

## Trivia

The name "Thulkarvoc" was one of two names (the other being Vrekqna) suggested by Christopher Paolini as a name for this village during the 2021 tour of MCAlagaësia.

Capes

**Capes**, much like in vanilla Minecraft, are rare cosmetics that are given to accounts for doing specific things.

## Cape list

### Founder's Cape

Given to all players who alpha-tested the game *before* the initial release.

### Staff Member Cape

Given to players who are or were part of the staff team. There are unique capes for builders, terraformers, interior designers, moderators, system administrators, artists, developers and Hellomynameis99. Note that team members must become a full part of the team (Above Apprentice rank) to receive the cape. Staff capes are easily recognisable by the white Arcaena logo on the back, which no other cape has except for the dulled one on the Founder's Cape.

If a staff member leaves the team, they get to keep their staff cape. However, if they are banned from the staff team, their cape is removed.

### Grandmaster Staff Cape

Given to players who have acquired the 'Grandmaster' staff rank or above. These capes are similar to the regular Staff Member capes, but with minor changes to make them unique.

### Premium Cape

Given to players who purchase the premium subscription. If they end their subscription, the cape is removed.

Dungeons

**Dungeons** are multi-stage challenges which have a lucrative reward at the end (such as a Dragon Egg or Legendary Weapon). It is also possible that a dungeon may exist in which the player can become a Shade. They are a string of rooms, each of which being either a puzzle, combat or parkour room. Some dungeons have a cooldown, and some have an entry cost. They often involve Burnt-out torches, so the player should bring a Flint and Steel with them when running a Dungeon.

### List of Dungeons

Dungeons are strung out all over Alagaësia, and have varying difficulty. It is possible that some dungeons may even be in the Ocean.

True Name

Every player has a **True Name**. A player's True Name may change over time.

* Opening the Vault of Souls on Vroengard.

Note that, unlike in the books, you cannot control another player by knowing their True Name because it is too overpowered. In addition, elves will not instinctively know their True Name.

### Discovering your True Name

When a player is in need of their True Name, they are given the option to create one. A GUI is opened with a selection of words from the Ancient Language, along with their meanings. The player can then select 5 of these words, which are combined to form their True Name. The game will decide if the name you have picked accurately reflects your actions so far on the current save. For example, the word 'healer' would not be accepted if you have done very little healing. If all 5 words accurately reflect your character, then you have unlocked you True Name.

The player unlocks the achievement ***Self Mastery*** when they discover their True Name.

Gemstone

**Gemstones** can be used to store energy (from the player's hunger bar), either to use magic or to increase survivability. Rider's Swords can also store energy in the same way. A demonstration of this feature can be seen in this video.

## Obtaining

It is unknown how Gemstones will be obtained.

## Usage

When the player left-clicks while holding a gemstone, 1 🍗 is added to the gemstone. When the player right-clicks, 1 🍗 is given back to you. Shift-right-clicking will completely fill your hunger bar with energy from the gemstone. Different gemstones can hold different amounts of energy. The following achievements are related to the storage of energy inside gemstones:

* ***Energy Hoard*** - Fill a gemstone to maximum capacity.
* ***A Slight Tingling Feeling*** - Absorb energy stored in a gemstone.

Also note that, if a player uses magic while a gemstone in inside of their inventory, the energy will be taken from the gemstone before it is taken from the player's hunger bar.

### Explosions

Breaking a Gemstone creates an explosion proportional to the amount of energy contained within. A gem can be broken by throwing it in lava, on a cactus, or putting it in an anvil. A gem also has a chance to be broken when it is dropped on the ground, with the chance increasing for a longer fall distance. Dropping it onto a wool block, carpet, moss block, slime block or bed negates this effect.

Legendary Weapons

**'Legendary Weapon**' status is given to weapons that are extremely difficult to get. They will have the word 'Legendary' in the item description. Most legendary weapons will have some sort of magical property. Note that, while they are rare, Rider's Swords are not legendary weapons because they are Soulbound, and are not Dungeon rewards.

'Legenedary Weapons' were previously known as 'Arcane Weapons', and are listed as such on the Kanban.

### Obtaining

Legendary weapons will be Dungeon rewards. You can also kill a player who is carrying one, and they will drop it.
