Olwydd's DragonRealms Site Olwydd's DragonRealms Site
   
Welcome to Olwydd.Org!


Update -- July 30th, 2008
Today's update represents the 100th "major" update to Olwydd.Org, where "major" is a fairly elastic term, but one where I bothered to update this main page since 2003. Olwydd.Org has actually been going strong since 2001, which is a fairly long time for any game info page, with all proper deference to The Wolf Den for being the granddaddy of DR sites that are still alive and kicking. I remember when I first starting playing the only real sources of information were Bristenrealms and The Wolf Den, with a smattering of other sites around the net that contained specialized information, but those sites had either started to fall into disrepair or were to disappear entirely (as is the case with Bristen's site.)
My good friend, and now mostly retired barbarian, Llwybyr and I came up with Olwydd.Org on a whim on August 19th, 2001 and published a very bare bones site a day or two later. Since then, we've expanded the site to include several hundred web pages, thousands of entries for foraging database and, what are likely, the most popular circle calculators out there.
Llwybyr has mostly stepped down from the helping with the site, but there have been many others that have helped me keep the site going. I'm not going to try and name them all, but I'll call out a few specific names because they've really done huge amounts of work. First, I'd like to thank Sinah (aka Anoushka) who has really taken on major pieces of work for the site and contributes more on a daily basis to it than I do anymore. Secondly, my thanks to Kythryn who more or less single handedly made the foraging database what it is today and contributed her wonderfully detailed maps to us. Third, I'd like to thank those first players that both helped with the site and really got me hooked onto DR: Kyrberus, Kirdaorb, Llwybyr, Quelgash, Raivin, Zeroch and Delaina. Obviously there are LOTS of other people I'd love to thank and if you feel like I've forgotten you, please hit me up on IM! I'm still alive.
Believe it or not, there were actual updates this time around. Most of the spell lists have been updated. There's also a new page on Cleric prayer messaging.

Update -- July 28th, 2008
First, I'd like to send out a general apology to people that have submitted stuff only to find out that it's been a blackhole. I do try and take time to respond to all of the e-mail I get, but with not playing regularly (up until recently) and being busy with other stuff, I sometimes just let e-mail sit and then, after some time, I don't respond to it because it's been so long. So, I just wanted to say that I really hope people continue to send stuff in and I (well, we, since Sinah responds to some of the mail) will try and be better!
Today's updates are all pretty small. There was some misinformation in the ranger training guide that was brought up to me quite some time ago by Dustcatcher which is now fixed. Also, there's a new ranger circle calculator that is based on the upcoming reqs. Overall, I fixed all of the calculators so that they can go to much higher levels. I'm surprised that more TF people didn't complain about the caps being wrong sometimes.
Again, keep up the suggestions for us and we'll strive to keep the site up-to-date. I'd also like to say a special thanks to Eladen for a very generous contribution to the site that will help us keep running for quite some time to come.

Update -- June 29th, 2008
Added a new page on Analogous Patterns. Also we have the old Veii origami calculator setup.

Update -- May 8th, 2008
We are in fact still alive, but this year has been a little hectic so far, which has meant fewer updates. Olwydd.org is moving to a new hosting site, so if you notice anything weird, please let us know. Hopefully we'll get some more content up in the next couple of months.

Update -- January 21st, 2008
We are now introducing an interesting new tool for figuring out titles based on skill which can help folks sort through the nearly 1500 titles available in DR. We would like to thank Mantive for doing much of the work to make this happen. This is still a pretty early edition, so hopefully some updates will come out later to make it even more useful. There have been a number of other small changes to calculators and our sales pages, but nothing else too substantial.

Update -- January 12th, 2008
We are now selling forged blunt weapons by Xixist. Look for the shopping area to be updated more often as we will be doing market tables in Crossing once a week. And, thanks to Naeya, the information on Guild Leaders is now updated.

Update -- January 5th, 2008
Happy New Year! With the new year, comes some new updates. We now have a much improved moon mage constellations page that includes a great deal of good information. Thanks to Celiviel for providing this information for us. Furthermore, we also have a page on Manipulative Resolve for warrior mages. We should have a few more updates for the next week as well.

Update -- November 18th, 2007
It's time for the annual cleaning of the vaults. Please take a look in our shopping area for all of the nifty stuff you can get.

Update -- October 24th, 2007
I would like to thank everyone that voted for olwydd.org in the Simutronic's Players' Choice Awards. I was very excited to see that olwydd.org is still considered one of the premier DragonRealms sites on the Internet and that people appreciate all that has gone into it. I would also like to thank all of those folks that voted me as the most knowledgeable player! At any rate, do keep an eye out, I might even do some updates again now that I'm in game with slightly more regularity.

Update -- September 6th, 2007
Due to some hardware failure, the foraging DB may be out of date. Next week, when the machine is properly recovered, I'll restore the DB to its proper form. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Update -- January 21st, 2007
Finally the update. Zoluren maps have been updated. The first part of the fishing pages have been added. I also made some behind the scenes changes to the calculators, so if you notice anything weird about them, please let me know.

Update -- January 15th, 2007
More maps. This time of Ilithi and an overview. I also added in a log of Edgee's Razor at Edgee's request. Next update with have the Zoluren maps and a fishing guide.

Update -- January 14th, 2007
Next set of map updates. This is for Forfedhar. Also, there's a slight change to the ranger calc summary where I include both total ranks in a skill set and the ranks that count toward your circle. If this is popular, I can expand it out to any other guild.

Update -- January 13th, 2007
Second update today. This is to incorporate the new Kythryn maps of Qi.

Update -- January 13th, 2007
More updates. A number of HTML issues have been fixes in various places, which isn't very exciting to anyone but me. This is also the first part of what promises to be a long effort to get back in sync with Kythryn's maps again. For now, Theren is done, and I will start in on Zoluren tomorrow. Furthermore, there's a small update in the cleric section to list cleric altars, that's mostly just taken from a post a while back on the DR boards.

Update -- January 12th, 2007
Another small update before the weekend. The barbarian section has been updated to reflect some warpaint and runestone information. (Thanks Caraamon) There's also an update to the bard circle calculator that has apparently been broken for a really long time. I hope to get Kythryn's new maps up soon, as well.

Update -- January 8th, 2007
Nearly a year after the last time I played, I'm back again! This is modest update, mostly just to try and keep the site a little bit more up-to-date. I added cloth armor and offhand weapons to the calculators. There was another empath added to the shifting services page. Fixed a pretty ancient mistake on the boxes page. Probably a few other minor fixes here and there. I hope to add a few more things here and there to get the site current.
