The world itself is based around the "Seviss Isle" aka CHAINMAIL module and has been heavily customized with various sub-systems.
Credit to Karl Adamaitis, Eng. � Designer & Developer of the Seviss Isles Persistent Virtual World and Dave Guntner for his many modifications and bug fixes.
It is set in the Forgotten Realm and is using most of the features available with SoU (X1) and HotU (X2) and takes advantage of most of the new features introduced in these two expensions. (e.g. henchmen, crafting, etc..)
A non-customized version of the module is available at nwvault.
A fast database system has been added (credit Shades, scripter - programmer) for persistency of player states.
The excellent XPts system by Knat gives the PCs an easy start up to level 7 or 8.
Experience gain is based on a logarithmic scale and slows down dramatically after level 20.
A level 6 character is still considered "low level"
The Crafting system uses the Bioware standard as well as an enchanting forge.
Other features of the module include:
· Sophisticated persistent world dynamic object management system
· Placeable object spawnpoints creating / recreating destructible world objects
· Lycanthrope and vampirism afflictions upon PCs who are killed by these creatures

Area32 is no longer running the Chainmail module. This has been replaced by a 100% custom module designed by myself but using well known system like Vuldrick's base mod and UOAcrafts. (both available here on nwvault)

This module has THE best scripts system that was ever designed for Neverwinter.
It is sad that Karl Adamaitis (the original author of the mod) is not designing anymore. But i would guess he would have a brillant career somewhere else.
Thanks again for this wonderful piece of work.
My thanks also go to dguntner of Dave's Place for his extended fixes and new work.
Dave's Place was a good community while it was still running the server but unfortunately also closed down.
The Seviss Isles deserve having a new life.
I have updated the mod to CEP2 and I am also adding and remodeling some areas.
Give it a try and you will not be disappointed.
