Aria

New here? Follow the setup guide → — every step from installing Morrowind to signing in.

The server is password-protected and isn't listed in any public browser. Ask for the password — if you don't know who to ask, this server isn't for you.

CommunityMP is a modified OpenMW engine, not a mod you drop into OpenMW. It installs as its own program and you launch it instead of OpenMW — it sits happily beside a normal install and uses the same Morrowind files.

Download for Windows (x64)

The installer is named OpenMW-0.52.0-Windows-x64.exe — that's expected, it's the CommunityMP build of OpenMW 0.52. Use this build specifically: the server rejects clients whose network protocol doesn't match.

Re-cut 2026-09-05: the current installer connects to Aria out of the box, and the Launcher's Play button works. Two earlier builds had one or both problems — if you installed before this notice appeared, uninstall and reinstall from the link above.

You also need your own legitimate copy of Morrowind + Tribunal + Bloodmoon (Steam or GOG both fine). English or Russian editions only — the German and French releases have hardcoded translations and are rejected.

Two downloads from tamriel-rebuilt.org, both unpacked into your Morrowind Data Files folder:

• Tamriel_Data — a dependency, not optional
• Tamriel Rebuilt — the mainland itself

Until we pin exact file versions, we should informally agree on the same Tamriel Rebuilt release. Ask before updating.

The server enforces this list and this order. Anything missing, extra, or out of sequence and your join is refused.

1. Morrowind.esm
2. Tribunal.esm
3. Bloodmoon.esm
4. Tamriel_Data.esm
5. TR_Mainland.esm
6. TR_Factions.esp

You may also enable Tamriel_Data.omwscripts and tamrielrebuilt.omwscripts — the 0.52 engine supports OpenMW Lua. They aren't part of the enforced list, so they neither help nor hinder the handshake.

There's no account to register anywhere in advance. The first time you connect, whatever account username and account password you type at the sign-in screen becomes your account on this server. The server join password is a separate, shared one — ask for it.

The setup guide walks through the whole thing →

• Journals, faction rank and reputation are per-player, not shared.
• Don't grief. Moderation is by character name.
• This is a young engine fork we build ourselves. Expect rough edges, and say something when you find one — odd behaviour is useful information, not a nuisance.
