Halcyon is a lands PvP server that tries to feel like an old school medieval world. It runs on a handmade custom map and aims for a tough survival style where progression is slow and careful.
The server is based in Australia but there are players from Europe the Americas and Asia. There are usually between 10 and 30 people online so the world feels active without being too crowded.
Travel is a huge part of the game. There is no teleportation so players ride and walk everywhere and that has made roads waystations and secret underground rail lines really important. Biomes are large and very different and some crops and saplings only grow in certain places so trading between regions actually matters.
The gameplay rules are made to cut down on meta play and automation and reward teamwork and creativity. Success comes from building strong towns and castles making smart trade deals and working with other players instead of just grinding exploits.
There is no strict server lore you have to follow. You just join pick a direction punch some trees and start building a story with the people you meet. Because of this a lot of player made art books myths and funny superstitions are already showing up and the world feels like it is writing itself.
