Palandriel is an adventure-focused Hytale server designed to expand the game’s core survival and exploration experience while preserving its fantasy atmosphere. Players begin their journey in a richly detailed medieval-fantasy capital city composed of themed districts such as the administrative quarter, craftsman quarter, marketplace, noble district, and surrounding outskirts. This capital serves as the central hub for tutorials, trading, guild progression, and social interaction.

A major pillar of Palandriel is its dungeon system: custom-built dungeons located both beneath the capital (e.g., sewers, catacombs) and throughout the world. These dungeons feature unique mobs, bosses, interactive environments, puzzles, and exclusive rewards. Successful runs grant players rare items, special ranks, and even a unique black-market currency used to purchase high-tier or otherwise unobtainable materials.

Palandriel also implements a deep guild and profession system. Players choose between the Adventurer’s Guild and the Craftsmen’s Guild, each offering distinct professions, such as hunter, miner, or smith, that provide passive income, special abilities, and exclusive crafting options. Progression within a profession enhances the player’s efficiency and expands economic opportunities.

The economic system consists of a primary currency (“Paland”), a rare black-market currency earned mainly through dungeons, and multiple trading avenues: an auction house, NPC market stands, rentable player shops in the merchant district, and a central bank for safe storage. This design encourages vibrant player-driven commerce while maintaining balanced progression.

Finally, the server features an extensive building system, combining region protection, player claiming tools, and a large constructed capital city built in a medieval/fantasy style. Builders craft immersive environments, while players can secure and develop their own regions throughout the world.

Overall, Palandriel aims to deliver a challenging yet beginner-friendly fantasy adventure world with meaningful progression, cooperative gameplay, and a rich player-driven economy.
