Everything you need in Elanthia

Built for real play — not just a thin wrapper around the raw telnet stream.

Real-Time XML Parsing

Full DragonRealms XML stream parser. Vitals, roundtime, room data, active spells, indicators — all updated live as you play.

Resizable Panel Layout

Drag panels to any height from the top or bottom edge. Slide the divider between game output and sidebar left or right. Your layout is saved automatically.

Custom Highlights

Regex or plain-text patterns with custom foreground, background, and bold styling. Spot your character name, loot, danger, and more at a glance.

Lich Scripting

Launch Lich straight from the login screen. Script output is captured in a separate log drawer so it doesn't clutter your game output.

Six Themes

Meridian, Bloodstone, Thornwood, Parchment, and Ironforge — or Final Fantasy IV. Each with a full color palette for health, mana, speech, warnings, and more.

Auto-Updates

New releases download silently in the background. A banner appears when the update is ready — no manual downloads or reinstalls needed.

Your character, at a glance

Vitals, active spells, current room, experience tracker, conversation log, combat stream, encumbrance, and inventory — each in its own panel you can show, hide, and resize.

Highlights that matter

Color-code anything: your name, enemy attacks, loot drops, incoming messages. Regex patterns supported. Clickable exit links let you move with one click.
