Locations of Sonata
Reserve
The capital city of the Vostrokan Kingdom is called Reserve and it serves as the last standing stronghold of civilization. It originally started as a haphazard collection of tents and shacks but, as it was decided that Neuro needed to resettle and grow, more permanent structures were set into place. Homes and archives and farms turned what had been a place of tragedy and triumph into a new beginning and, in honor of the survivors from all the former nations of Neuro, it was dubbed Reserve.
The Abbey
The Abbey is home to the a monastic order of Puhdaists. It is known as a central landmark, and being quite hospitable to travellers that walk by.
The Ocean of Ghosts
The Ocean of Ghosts is a desert north of the Valley of Bones. It contains many shipwrecks, ruins, and lost treasures. It is also the prime location for the nomadic Sandweavers, who have established an archaelogical dig around a ruin.
The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is a large, obelisk like tower that is home of the Swansong in Sonata. Constructed by Swansong, the Sanctuary is meant to house Swansong diplomats to Reserve while also allowing them a place to stay away from the people of Sonata. In order to access the upper floors, one must be able to fly, thus rendering much of the tower only accessible to Swansong.
The White Forest
North of Reserve, a freezing forest is inhabited by many dangers. From wandering and evil wizards, dangerous wildlife, the walking dead, and bandit groups - anyone denied entry into the Kingdom reside here. While dangerous, it is an area where citizens may gather resources.
The Races of Sonata
Human
When the Second Awakening happened, the majority of the survivors would be human,merely a result of their prosperity before the event. Humans would be the ones to establish the nation of Sonata and openly invited anyone to join them in establishing the nation and leading the fight against the newly awakened Swansong. After the defeat of the Swansong and the establishment of the city of Reserve, humans have remained the dominant race to inhabit the city.
Orcs
When the world was ravaged by the cataclysm known as the Second awakening, he scattered tribal orcs would prove to be the most prepared for the event. While civilizations fell under the onslaught of the apocalypse, the tribal orcs braved the harsh aftermath. The unaligned tribes would come together again under the leadership of a powerful orc known as Ren'gol the Fierce. Today the tribal orcs pose a serious threat to the civilized nation of Sonata should they ever decide to attack it. Civilized orcs remain a staple of Sonatian culture, even if their numbers are rather low.
Dwarves
When the world was ravaged by disaster, the dwarves were the ones to suffer the most losses. The entire underground fortress of Jotnar was flooded, killing every dwarf inside. The few dwarves who had adapted to civilization would be the only ones to survive, usually becoming refugees in the nation of Sonata.
Elves
When the Kingdoms of Neuro fell, the elves second behind the humans in numbers of survivors, having become the most integrated into human society. The elven presence in Sonata is high, however some descent is notable now that humanity is no longer the powerhouse it once was. Some elves have even argued for establishing a new elven homeland similar to Hightree of many ages past.
Swansong
As molten rock consumed Enconia and flood ravaged the globe, the Swansong were born again. In the late days of the Second Awakening, a giant chasm opened up beneath the City of Naturelles, swallowed the city whole and bellowed out thousands of the terrors of the Second War of the Ancients. The Swansong were born again.

Beautiful server and awesome story. Through all of the Overture it keeps you on and wanting to play more. I love this server with all my heart and I know this one will be great. I am very excited to play on this one as soon as possible!!!!!
I absolutely love every server that has been produced by these people. They always know how to step it up with the next one, and it always brings me back. I've made tons of friends from these servers, ones that I still keep in touch with, even after 2 years.
I can promise, no, guarantee you that, there will only be enjoyment coming from this new server. The lore, the story, the players, the environment, it is all amazing.
The events and story are very easy to be immersed into, along with the staff being some of the nicest and friendliest people, keeping in mind you aren't rude to them or anyone.
I have enjoyed every server brought to me by GavLan and Alex. I have for two years, and will a long time from now. This is the only server, that I've personally been brought to very deep feelings for a characters death, or an event, they really know how to invoke emotion, through every event.
I very much so look forward to this being released.
Thanks everyone for the support! I also added pre-applications! So, if you'd like to help the server before you even join, post your application here as it will keep the thread bumped. Not only that, but keep checking back for further updates!
So is there any sort of crafting guide to help you with the new custom items? I was just wondering if there would be, or if you'd have to figure it out for yourself along with the community.
Actually, part of the fun is seeing how long it is going to take to see all the recipes discovered by players. However, to help you along, recipes will be randomly released on the wiki when we don't see a specific weapon coming around.

In Character
Character Name: Adam Age: 32 Gender: Male Profession: Merchant Nationality/Race: Human Physical Description: An average size human with brown colored hair sporting a finely grown moustache, dark brown eyes and a stylish figure. He has a pair of leather boots with a great amount of detail into them, a belt with a metal buckle that was painted with molten gold. This man is also wearing greenish almost brown clothes and to top it off a pair of carefully crafted leather gloves. Personality: A very social man with a great ability to bargain, has an addiction to gold and he is usually driven by the choices that make him more wealthy. General Notes: Adam is very social but he tends to lose his focus resulting on him rambling about things which don't make any sense. If this is not the case, Adam also confuses words while he talks. He might even reorganize a whole sentence which ends up on it making no sense. Unusual Notes: He has a strange addiction to chew little wooden splinters. Relations: While Adam does not have any interest on women right now, he has a very unique relationship with his mother; his mother is one of the most loved persons Adam knows. Secrets: Adam has been pushed by his family to find a wife, while he does want to get married, he does not want to spend his hard earned gold on a woman; resulting on him not wanting to marry. It's complicated. History/Bio: Born into a small family, Adam was the third and last of his siblings. He grew up selling small things his father collected on his journeys as a merchant himself. Adam would go to the town, sit on his mule and offer goods to the citizens passing by. Many people did not even look at the child shouting at the top of his lungs but this was not a problem for Adam since he did this only to make his father proud and bring a small quantity of gold to the house. Adam's mother was a baker and was very popular for her carefully prepared cakes. The life Adam lived was not though at all, all he did was help his mother at home and try to sell goods to the people around town. Adam learned to bargain prices and sell items to people at a very young age resulting on him wanting a bigger challenge to put his bargaining skills on. This is why Adam proposed to his father to set on a journey together and gain great riches; all of this as a duo. Adam's father agreed to the deal and so they set off in a journey to bring great riches. Doremy, Adam's mother, is left with her sons to take care of her.
It was a beatiful morning when they both jumped on thier horses and began their adventure. Adam being at the short age of 19 was very eager to start this trip. A few days later, they arrive at a great city. They do not know the name of this city or what exactly it is, but they dismiss this fact and focus on their only task, that being: to collect gold from every direction. They set on a small corner of the city and begin selling small goods. Adam's father, Sebastian, was a very abid craftsman, he sold gloves made personally for each client and this sure brought great prosperity to the small stall they were set on.
A couple of years passed by and they were ready to travel back to their homeland, they collected huge amounts of gold and had accomplished their goal; but there was a problem. Adam did not want to leave this land of riches. He was fascinated by the amount of gold they recieved and wanted to earn more. He promised to his dad that he will travel back to his home once he has earned enough money to mantain his own business. He also told him that he will eventually send letters to the family and let them know how he is.
It was a very hard decision for his father but he finally agreed, he wanted his son to chase his ambitions.
Looking into the present now, Adam has just recently moved to a bigger city and he is still in touch with his parents. He has great dreams for himself that he is sure to achieve. Extra: One of Adam's aspiration is to create a proper merchant guild, he keeps this in secret though as it will be very hard to achieve.
I was accepted for the beta, and got a first look at the server. I can already guarantee that this server will be well worth the time and effort to apply and read the lore.
The plugins used are a lot of fun to use and test, along with running through one of the dungeons. Getting a look at the buildings and everything as a whole, was amazing. The effort and time put in to this server has definitely paid off.
Even from only playing a few hours on the beta, I could tell this server was going to be amazing, and I can't wait for the full release.
They've made sure that all possible bugs have been fixed.
I was chosen as a member for the beta, and for what I've seen of the server, it looks outstanding! I've been playing on these servers for a long time, and this Sonata looks like it's going to be the best one yet! All of the custom items are amazing, it really adds a more roleplay-ish feel to Minecraft. The server staff really knows how to create an emersive and realistic roleplaying enviroment, that anyone can adjust to, and that anyone can make a unique character in.
I can't wait until the release of the full server, and it will be something I'm sure not to miss.
Post updated! Snippets of lore and images. Hope to see some new players! Server releasing VERY soon. We finished our Beta and are just patching things up. Can't wait to see you.
