MAGILOOMLANTERN

A modern client for DragonRealms — on your desktop, or right in your browser. A map that draws itself, experience and inventory at a glance, native script support, and weather that moves across the window as you play.

Lantern game view — real-time output, vitals, room panel, and a conversation panel with player avatars

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.

Automapper

A live map that draws itself as you explore, using the room IDs the game sends. Click any room to walk there. Imports and exports Genie map files, and every explorer's mapping accumulates into one shared world map.

Experience Tracking

Every skill's rank and learning state at a glance, with ranks gained this session, plus circle, TDPs, favors and overall mind state. Pairs with a log analyzer and TDP planner in Tools.

Inventory Manager

Your whole inventory as a sortable table or cards — worn, held and stowed, with nested containers, item counts and carried weight rolled up per container.

Scripts, Watched Live

A built-in script engine that runs Genie and Wizard .cmd scripts natively — no Lich required. The Scripts panel shows what's running and lets you stop it. Lich still launches straight from the login screen when you want it.

Highlights, Aliases & Triggers

Regex or plain-text highlights with custom colors, plus Genie-style aliases and triggers with class toggles. Import your existing Genie config and keep the setup you already have.

Wounds at a Glance

A body figure showing every wound and scar by location and severity, so you can see what needs tending without reading a wall of text. Empaths can switch it to their patient.

Living Atmosphere

Elanthian day and night, weather and locale wash gently over the game window — rain, snow, forge embers, moonlight. Optional procedural ambient sound to match. Turn any of it off.

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 per character, automatically.

Play Anywhere

Install it on Windows, Mac or Linux, or play in the browser on any device. Add it to your phone's home screen for a full-screen app with push notifications when someone speaks to you.

Six Themes

Lantern, Bloodstone, Thornwood, Ashfall, and Discord — or Final Fantasy. Each with a full color palette for health, mana, speech, warnings, and more. Ashfall comes in both light and dark, switchable from the character bar.

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

An always-on vitals bar up top, plus panels for your current room, experience, active spells, conversation log (with player avatars), combat stream, atmosphere, deaths, and inventory — each panel you can show, hide, and resize.

Play in the browser, keep your setup

The browser version runs your game session on the Magiloom server, which means your settings, scripts and logs need a home that belongs to you. A free Magiloom account gives them one — and keeps them in sync across every device you sign in on.

This is not your DragonRealms login. It is a separate email and password, just for Magiloom. You will still sign in to DragonRealms with your Simutronics account exactly as you do now — and the installed app does not need one at all, since it connects straight to Simutronics and keeps everything on your own machine.
Free
  • Everything in the client — panels, highlights, scripting, automapper

  • Game logs kept for 3 days
  • Read and download your logs any time
Premium
  • Longer log retention — up to 14 days

Logs are always yours to read and download, on any plan. Premium changes how long we keep them, never whether you can reach them.
