Marriage & Divorce

In short: Propose at the Love Stone (Market) or the Matchmaker (Desert City); a spouse earns double party exp, and a MeteorTear buys the divorce.

Requirements: two willing hearts, both unmarried, standing together at the wedding NPC. Divorce: costs a MeteorTear — which is handed to the one you leave.

Aurenfall keeps the classic wedding: propose at the Love Stone, your beloved accepts (or not), and your names are bound in each other's character windows.

Getting married

1. Find the wedding NPC. The Love Stone stands on the Market (the trading map every Conductress can take you to), and the Matchmaker offers the same service in Desert City.
2. Stand together. You and your beloved must both be near the stone — a proposal doesn't travel far.
3. Propose. Talk to the stone, choose "Positive! Let me propose." — your cursor changes. Click the one you wish to marry.
4. They decide. Your beloved sees a confirmation window and freely accepts or refuses. A refused flower wilts; there is no penalty, only heartbreak.
5. Married! The whole server hears the announcement, fireworks burst over the couple, and from then on your spouse's name shows in your character window (and when players inspect you).

Both partners must be unmarried. Aurenfall does not restrict who may marry whom.

Divorce

Love fades? Starlit on the Market parts what the Love Stone binds:

• Bring a MeteorTear (the reward of the Meteor Tear quest — a meteor moved to tears by true love).
• Starlit hands that very tear to your former spouse as compensation — even if they are offline, it will be waiting in their bag.
• The parting is immediate and cannot be undone. Remarrying later is allowed — with a new tear for each goodbye.

The Meteor Tear quest (the Love Letter)

The MeteorTear a divorce needs comes from a short, story-driven courier quest across three cities: a song, a letter, a lost lover, and a meteor that learns to cry. Nothing is needed to start; the final step takes 1 Meteor and 1 Amrita (a cheap drugstore wine).

1. Milly -- Phoenix Castle (804,461). Listen to her sad song and offer to help: she entrusts you with a letter for her sister Minner, who waits on Bird Island for her lost lover Joe.
2. Minner -- Bird Island (707,545). Deliver the letter. Agree to help find Joe, and she gives you the GuardianStar -- the love token Joe once gave her.
3. Stock up. Buy a bottle of Amrita at any drugstore (Joe is parched in the desert heat and will not talk business with a thirsty stranger, though he never actually takes your bottle), and bring 1 Meteor.
4. Joe -- Desert City (77,326), west of the town. With the Amrita, the Meteor and the GuardianStar in your bag, hear him out. He engraves his love on your Meteor -- consuming it and the GuardianStar -- and hands you the SadMeteor.
5. Back to Minner. Give her the SadMeteor and hear the end of the story. She rewards you with a MeteorTear.

The quest items live in your bag, so you can pause at any point. If you refuse to help Minner after handing over the letter, the letter is delivered and gone -- visit Milly again for a new one. A faithful rebuild of the original quest: same NPCs, same items, same reward.

Small print

• A proposal expires after about half a minute if unanswered.
• You cannot propose to yourself, to the married, or across half the map.
• Divorce works even when your spouse is offline.

How our version differs

• Classic CO restricted marriage to opposite-sex couples; Aurenfall does not restrict who may marry whom.
• In the original, divorce conjured a brand-new MeteorTear for the abandoned spouse; here the divorcer must bring one (earned through the Meteor Tear quest), and that very tear is passed on — the heartbreak economy stays honest.
