Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?
This is by far and away our favorite question! To get started, simply read up on what type of character you would like to start with, follow the steps to write and post a profile for them here, wait for an approval stamp and bam! You are good to go!

HELP! The stat system... I can't!
No worries! After the initial stat roll by an admin, you don't have to bother with stats ever again unless you want to! They only help us out during meta events so actions can be randomized for that delicious element of surprise! If you are having trouble figuring out how to allocate the stats rolled for your character by an admin, just shoot World of Velgarth a PM and we'll take care of it for you. <3 !

I want to make a Herald! How do I get my character Chosen?
After making a prospective Herald profile and waiting for it to be approved, post here in this thread! Afterwards, congratulations! Your character is now a Heraldic Trainee! Best get to the Collegium!

Can I make an adult Herald?
Absolutely! You just complete both a profile for your Herald and one for his/her/their Companion and post for approval.

Soooo... magic?
Totally a thing! We're operating in an alternate version of the future after the Mage Storms, where magic got a little wonky for a decade or so, but is beginning to go back to normal. There is plenty of work around for characters to help rebuild after the mayhem the storms caused, and LOTS of rampant, magically twisted beasts that need dealing with.

What sort of travel is available?
For your average citizen, on foot or in a wagon. For the well-off, horses and carriages. Gryphons are not common enough to rent themselves out and they only deign to assist with dignitaries from their own people (Clan K'Leshya) in the magical carry baskets.

How much of Velgarth is open for RP?
Technically speaking, all of it. We focus on Valdemar here, with most RP happening in the Collegium and the city of Haven. Special events take place in other parts of Valdemar, Hardorn, Karse and the Pelagir Hills.
