Amoria is a new place where Maplers can get married. This area originated in GlobalMS, and follows the Western marriage system, contrasting the previous marriage system, Peach Blossom Island, that was based on Eastern style weddings. Amoria is accessible via Thomas Swift of Henesys, or in KoreaMS Tespia, Hera the fairy, who is located in most towns.

There are two different styles of marriage, and also two different versions of each, at least for the Global and Thailand versions. A mapler can choose to have his wedding held in a traditional cathedral, wed by a high priest and receiving a blessing of experience from the guests. The other option, only available in ThailandMS and GlobalMS, is a quick Elvis hosted wedding in the Chapel, resembling a Las Vegas quick wedding chapel. Both wedding types provide the couple with a total of 50 invitations for friends and guild members. Additional invites can be purchased from the cash shop, however the lag from 52 players in the same map usually precludes this option.
 * If the couple chooses a premium wedding, they receive an "afterparty", that works much like a Party Quest. They can then proceed to take pictures on a giant wedding cake, followed by some battles in the Untamed Hearts Hunting ground, taking out cakes and candles while hunting for keys. Once a player has 5 keys, they can proceed to the Love Pinata, where a present awaits them. Upon exiting this map, the guests and couple are returned to Amoria's town, and can receive the contents of the present by taking it to Pila Present, an NPC at the top of the map. Also, there are a number of buildings in the town, notably a Hair Salon, Plastic surgery, and a wedding shop where Tuxedos and dresses can be purchased for mesos.


 * In addition to those located inside the town itself, there are some Amoria-related maps outside of the main town area. The "Meet the Parents" map is used by the bride in a Cathedral wedding, and located above Henesys Hunting Ground II. There are many other NPCs, such as the various Nana fairies located in each of the main cities that are used in the quests leading up to marriage, and of course Thomas Swift who transports players to Amoria. These are not available in KoreaMS Tespia.

Amoria is one of the few areas with a significant backstory: The story of amoria begins with the story of Elias. Elias was a noble hunter whose love of battle knew no bounds. He fell in love with a maiden of striking beauty, Cecelia. She hoped he would one day realize her love went beyond the mere fleeting of arrows, but Elias continued to hunt on and ignore his wife. During one of his hunting trips, Cecelia was kidnapped by a group of monsters. When Elias returned and found his wife missing, he immediately set out after her, vanquishing any monsters in his wake with his might bow, axe, and powerful magic. Alas, he came upon the cave where his true love has been taken. He heard her voice cry out in terror, and immediately rushed in to find several Drakes prepared to feast on her. Elias defeated the monsters and carried his wife back to their house, but her wounds were too great for even his skill to heal. Saddened by the loss of his wife, he used the last bit of his magic in a sacrificial act and created a place that would allow others to experience the love he once had, and as a lesson to never take it for granted. Thus, the town of Amoria came to be.


 * Amoria Dungeon


 * Region: Amoria
 * Roads: Hidden Street

Recently, the beginnings of a dungeon have been implemented, with an exclusive monster called Sakura Cellion. It is a Jr. "kitty", with the stats of the weaker Juniors and the meso/item drops of the "senior" form. Sakura Cellion are dark in color, however, and thusly resembles a Jr. form of the most powerful "kitty" Lucida. A number of quests related to this area were also implemented, including a few exclusive to married couples. These quests have hinted at further expansion of the dungeon later. The town of Amoria seems to have (not surprisingly) taken on a double role in patch version .34's Valentine's Events, where some of the quest related NPCs are located, and the changes in the game are, for storyline purposes, "Originating in Amoria." The dungeon has now been expanded, with several exclusive monsters, leading into the Purplewood Forests outside of the town. Outside of this area is where the Party Quest takes place, only for Married players, however they must not be completed with the spouse.
 * Amoria is only available in KoreaMS Tespia, ThailandMS, and GlobalMS. Amoria Dungeon is currently only available in GlobalMS.
