Server owners control their custom content and may change it without notice. Treat the linked server wiki or Discord as the final authority. Records marked “community source” have not been independently verified by Astralis Nova.
Find your home in Dereth
Player worlds, with test-only servers excluded. A regular world may still be temporarily offline. Character counts can include bots and multiple accounts.
Only checked websites and wikis are shown. Unverified destinations are omitted; links can change after their check date.
Each game world may have its own Discord server. Channels are the chat rooms inside that community.
Search Discord’s public server directory ↗ for the world’s name and “Asheron’s Call.” Not every community is listed. If you cannot find it, check the world’s website or ask a server admin or fellow player for its current public invite.
Already a member? Use Create Invite beside a channel if your role permits it, then copy the invite. Ask an admin for a public, non-expiring invite where supported.
After joining, follow the welcome and rules instructions, then look for help, quests or announcements channels. You can only access channels your role permits; copying a channel address does not replace an invite.
Server details come from the community-maintained AC server list and TreeStats. Recent character reports are not guaranteed to represent unique people. A stale reading remains visibly marked instead of pretending to be live.
These worlds are independently operated community servers. Astralis Nova does not own, rank or officially endorse them. Always read a server’s rules and community information before connecting.

Equip your journey
126 archived plugin and tool listings. Check publisher requirements and your server’s rules before installing.
126 entries: 121 from ACCPP's plugin archive plus 5 legacy discoveries, indexed September 1, 2026. A snapshot, not every plugin ever created. Listed versions are not guaranteed latest; release dates and compatibility are unverified.
Search “legacy” to find the added historical plugins. Legacy — compatibility unverified: project listings are preserved references, not tested downloads or confirmation that they work with current Decal, ACE, or Conquest. Check requirements and your server’s rules before installing.
Review publisher instructions and server automation rules before installing. An archive listing is not a safety or compatibility endorsement. ACCompanion is a related standalone tool, not a Decal plugin.

Maps, lore & community
Community tools, maps and preserved knowledge. These links open external sites; their content is not imported into our quest search. Sources reviewed September 1, 2026.
More places to research Dereth, alongside ACPedia and the retail and Conquest Fandom links above. These are external guides, not additional indexed quest results. A working guide index does not guarantee every linked page is complete.
Item or quest: use the source-search links above; choose Conquest for Conquest-specific content and cross-check retail references. Character build: try the planner. Lost in a dungeon: open the map tools. Plugin trouble: check publisher instructions and dated community discussions.
Retail references, emulator data and custom-server content are not interchangeable. Downloads and automation tools remain subject to compatibility checks and your server’s rules.
First journey to Dereth
Client → End-of-Retail files → launcher. Get the game working before adding plugins.
Download in order from the sources linked by ACEmulator. We do not repackage installers.
ac1install.exe installs the original game client. The Internet Archive copy preserves Turbine’s installer.Download ac1install.exe ↗On MEGA, choose the download arrow—not “Save to MEGA.” Scan downloads normally and never reuse an important password on an emulator server.
The original Asheron’s Call client and the common community launchers are Windows software. Keep the game in a normal writable folder such as C:\Turbine\Asheron's Call.
Follow ACEmulator’s official How to Play page for its current approved client sources. Run the installer using its default location unless you have a reason to change it.
The official guide provides the current End-of-Retail client-file package. Copy its four files into the AC folder and choose Replace when prompted.
Use the launcher linked by ACEmulator. In Browse Servers, choose a public world—or copy an address from AC Worlds and add it manually in Advanced View.
Most ACE worlds create an account on the first successful login. Choose a unique username and password; do not reuse your email, banking, work, or other important password.
Select the world, enter the new credentials and press Launch. Read that server’s website or Discord first because account limits, botting rules and custom files vary.
ACE worlds generally use the End-of-Retail client described in the official ACEmulator guide. Some GDLE/classic-era or heavily customized worlds require their own DAT files.
Never overwrite your working client blindly. Make a separate copy of the complete AC folder for a classic or custom world, then follow that world’s own website or Discord instructions.
Decal enables community plugins, maps and utilities, but it is not necessary for a first clean launch. Get the client working before installing Decal so troubleshooting has fewer moving pieces.
FullScreen=True to FullScreen=False in UserPreferences.ini.ACEmulator is an open-source community project rebuilding Asheron’s Call. Its independently operated servers are not official Turbine or WB Games servers. AC Worlds brings ACE, GDLE and other community worlds, guides and tools together.
