Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:10:07 +0000

Sundarin is the capital city of Aurora, located in the center of Aleyria's continent. Its north side resides on the bank of the Serpent Channel.

As the capital of Aurora, Sundarin is not only just an important icon, but also the central hub to almost all merchant, political and guild activities within Aurora.

Sunholm Castle sits directly in the center of Sundarin and houses the ruling family and acts as the administrative center for Auroras government.

After the Spellplague Sundarin's magical protections fell, the lands surrounding it, as with much of the rest of Aurora fell to an invasion of Nether creatures and uncontrolled populations of Orcs and Goblins.

Sundarin's current king is Lord Darius Contreras.

A person from Sundarin is often referred to as a Sundurian.

Auroran Mage Guild

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 11:55:18 +0000

The Auroran Mage Guild is the most prominent of Aurora's guilds. The Auroran Mage Guild functions primarily as a mage academy and polices the use of magic within Aurora, encouraging mages to use magic wisely.

The Guild provides many services to its members including a venue for trading spell components and magic items, and was responsible for magical protection to civilized areas before the spellplauge.

The Guild's heart and center is located in a mighty tower in the bay of Sundarin, the capital of Aurora. The Tower is only accessible by a single bridge.

From the outside, the tower appears to be a three-storey stone tower, but inside, there were at least a dozen more levels, and some of these could only be reached by magical means. Everything connected to the central teleporters and stairwell, although magical passwords were required to transport to certain areas of the tower.

Character Creation Guide

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 21:53:10 +0000

There are four vital components to creating a character. These four components are: Concept, Character, Story, and Execution.

You will start with the concept and finish with the execution component. The middle components can be performed in any order because experimentation can give you better results. However each of these components are vital when creating a good character.

[/hr]The Concept

[/hr]The concept phase is about collecting ideas for your character. You should have a clear concept before you can start building your character. Random concepts usually end up being unsatisfying and short lived.

A concept can come from anywhere, it is the core idea behind the character. Simply research interesting professions or roles in Aleyria. Explore combining these concepts with other ideas to form more complex concepts.

Quote

"A concept could be something like a pirate with an ethical code, a young peasant man who wants to be King or a town guard who operates a black market."

Do not be afraid to change as you go. When you are creating a character concept, you may come across something else you'd like to try. Keep notes as you go because you never know when you might like to refer back to your old ideas.

The following components may get a little chaotic as you play with concepts or decide to change something about your character. Do not be afraid to do this at any point in the development of your character. Remember, these is no set order for the following components.

[/hr]The Character

[/hr]A character is made up of various traits such as their appearance, personality, personal choices and motivations. These traits affect the decisions and choices that your character will make. Developing character traits involves creating a profile for your character, so take notes.

An important aspect of character is their appearance. When you are thinking about how they might move, walk, act, talk, display facial expressions, think, share special gestures, unusual body attributes, disabilities, clothing, armour etc. Make notes on how your character looks and the feeling your character evokes about them, It is the same when you thinking about your characters personality. You may want to think about idiosyncrasies, quirks, traits, likes/dislikes, dears/strengths, outlook, perspective, view, demeanor/manner, etc.

Quote

"Keep in mind that a character's personality evolves over time as the result of their environment and the choices that the character has made over time."

When designing a character, think about any items or personal possessions they may have that might effect both their appearance or personality. Do they have a weapon? Is so, do they use it to protect and serve, or to hunt and destroy?

Every little detail contributes toward the larger picture of your character. Be as detailed as you like. Here are some questions to get you thinking about them. Nickname/alias, Gender? Hometown? Age? Height? Weight? Hair colour? Eye colour? Skin tone? Faction/Clan? Job/Occupation/Profession? Affiliations? Parents? Siblings? Hobbies? Languages?

[/hr]The Story

[/hr]The story of your character is just as important as any other component. Your story has the most influence over the execution of your character. A story behind a character helps you understand your character's influences and their decisions; it also helps other roleplayer's see the colours that make up your character. The main purpose of the story is to demonstrate your character.

Be thorough, but brief. A good background story should cover all the basics of your character. Why is your character the way they are? Why do they have these gifts and aspects? How did they come to be where they are now? Where have they been? These are all important questions and they should all be explained.

There are some among us who are prone to turning a simple background into a novel. While this is not necessarily wrong, you should realize that you are not the only reader. Others may give up on reading it when they realise that there are four more pages to go.

[/hr]The Execution

[/hr]Once you have fleshed our the concept, refined your background story and completed all of your characters details, it is time to think about how to play your character.

Your story sets the stage for the beginning of your adventure, and if you do it right, it provides inspiration for future adventures. Do not forget where you came from, but be vigilant of the future and be ready for change. When you roleplay, allow the background to affect the choices they made.

Your character traits provide flavour to your choices. Never do something, if you don't think your character would do it, and always do something if you think they would.

It is very important to embrace change. The best thing about actually roleplaying your character is that you have no idea what will happen from one day to the next. Your character is going to react in ways you had not originally planned. You have the option to both allow your character to reconcile issues from their paste and become inspired to take a different path than the one they began with. The choice is yours. Remember that planning your character's future development is never a bad thing, so long as you realize you cannot always stick to your plant.

Above all else, love your character, respect other players and have fun.
