We got a new UI design!
Been experimenting for quite some time on how we want our core mod EMPIRES to look for our dark fantasy server PYRETALE, but the Hytale Blue is just taking us out of the moment.
This redesign is aimed to bring a darker look to hytale. Any thoughts or suggestions?
We have finally made it over the finish line with our world generating/ map view mod for our server PyreTale! This will be available for download within the week
Any features that anyone would love for this to have? It thus far ties into our settlement mod Empires, but is configurable to any claim/ settlement mod that your server has.

Some more exciting build progress on our new server

Quick background for anyone who missed the earlier posts. I recently shared Gilded Dreams, a full gold economy mod, and Empires, a civilization mod with taxes, ranks and war mechanics. The response was way bigger than I expected, and the most common question was where you could actually play them. At the time the honest answer was nowhere, because the server they were built for wasn't open yet.
It is now.
PyreTale is set in a world I've been writing for about seven years. The short version: the world of Nu fell to a necromancer king named Mahlbar, who bought immortality from a Void Prince with twenty million souls. The Void honored the bargain the way the Void always does. Mahlbar got his eternity, and his soul was dragged into Draelith, a nightmare realm stitched together from his own memories and fears, with the people of Nu chained to the curse alongside him. That's where you wake up. A shattered fragment of a dead king's mind called the VEDLT, where every stronghold you raise is carved out of someone else's nightmare. The novel this is based on comes out in early 2027, but the server is playable today, and the people joining now get to decide what the map looks like.
What's actually running right now, not roadmap promises:
Empires and Gilded Dreams as one package. Gold is physical and player driven, every trade runs through it, and Empires sits on top with taxes, ranks and war declarations. The gold in your vault is the same gold your empire taxes and the same gold that funds a war, so politics actually have teeth.
The Armoury by LadyPaladra and Hex Magics by Riprod, both live on the server. PyreTale is becoming home to other creators' mods, not just ours.
Raid encounters and custom mobs tied into the lore rather than pasted on top of it.
One rule that makes this server what it is: every build has to fit the dark medieval aesthetic. That sounds strict until you see the result. No neon cube bases next to a castle. The screenshots are what the world actually looks like.
I'll be upfront, we're early and the population is small. That's not a bug for this kind of server, it's the window. The empires being founded right now will be the old blood of this world when the full MMORPG realm opens, and there's a much bigger custom generated world coming behind it. Nobody joining in six months gets to say they founded the first kingdom.
We're doing our first organized land rush this weekend so everyone starts staking claims at the same time. Details and exact time are in the Discord.

Happy to answer anything about the mods, the lore, or how the empire systems work in the comments.
Earn gold. Bank it. Trade it. Build your fortune.
From the team behind Pyretale // Empires — this is the economy mod that powers it, and it runs standalone on any Hytale server. Gilded Dreams is launching on CurseForge in the next few days.
This isn't a /balance plugin with extra steps. This is a living gold economy — NPCs, storefronts, and markets that exist in the world.
Gold That Flows — Mobs drop gold into the world. Earn it, hoard it, spend it — a real currency loop, not a number in a scoreboard
Banks & Bankers — Walk up to an NPC banker, open your account, deposit and withdraw with full transaction ledgers. Your fortune is safe even when you're not.
Auction House — List items, browse categories, snipe deals, and claim your winnings. Listings expire, markets move, and the best flips go to whoever's paying attention.
NPC Merchants — Server-stocked merchants for reliable supply, plus wandering merchants that roam the world with rotating stock. See one on the road? Check their wares before they're gone.
Player Shops — Open your own storefront with an actual NPC shopkeeper: place them, name them, stock them, set your prices — and choose who runs the counter. Klops merchant? Bramblekin? A custom NPC you load in? Your shop, your staff.
Secure Trading — A proper player-to-player trade window with confirmations on both sides. No more drop-and-pray deals in the wilderness.
Everything is GUI — Banking, auctions, shops, and trades all run through custom UI pages. No commands needed for everyday play.
Empires Integration — Running Pyretale // Empires? The two connect automatically: settlement treasuries, taxes, and vassal tribute all flow through this gold system. Your kingdom's wealth becomes real.
Gilded Dreams hits CurseForge in the next few days, alongside Pyretale // Empires — one economy powering shops, auctions, and entire kingdoms on our server from day one.
We'd love for you to join the discussion and be the first in line when it all launchers on our server!

Hi hi,
My partner just moved to Seattle from British Columbia, and we are about to start long distance dating.
Was wanting to get some photos shot next weekend (June 6 or 7th), in or around Seattle area. We are gay couple in our twenties, and I’m looking for a few really solid photographer options for when I’m in town.
This is not an engagement shoot, just a little surprise gift I wanted to do for him/ us.
If anyone has any great recommendations, I’m all ears!
