FAQ

Player characters

Is there AC?

There is no AC, but we will post a bi-monthly courtesy check-in. Failing to check in for two months in a row will result in a sweep, and your character’s role will be up for grabs.

If I get swept, can I come back?

Yes, but if your role was given away you’ll have to figure out something else, and will probably want to have an IC reason for the change/absence.

What races can I play?

At present, the only playable race in Northcliff Pass (and the only known sapient species) is human. They can resemble any real-world person of any ethnicity.

Pets are also allowed as NPCs when attached to a human character, and should not have their own account.

How many characters can I play?

As many as you want, but try to keep it reasonable!

What jobs are available?

Here is the list of village roles and who occupies them.

Can I play babies/children?

Children are fine, but you’ll probably want babies to be NPCs attached to an adult character account. If you play a child and you have no concept of how real children speak or act, please… don’t. Badly played children will be sent to boarding school in Southsea and their players will be cast into the volcano.

Can I play a violent/evil character?

Yes, but make sure you pay careful attention to everyone’s permissions, and be prepared for the eventuality of getting caught.

Can I BONE

Follow your dreams, but please keep smut threads off the comm-- and hopefully you do not have to be told this, but no character under 16 or player under the age of consent in your locality can partake in a smut thread with any connection to this game.

This is a hard and fast rule: if you’re found to be breaking it, all your characters will be swept and you will be banned.

Setting

What year is it?

1315.

How is the year broken up?

The year is broken into the same twelve months as the real world, which are currently called by their same names (but we’ll let you know if the names change.)
For the sake of coordination, IC months track in realtime.

What is the money system?

Probably based on some kind of fantasy gold standard. You are probably safe referring to money as "coin," "crowns," or "sovereigns" as you see fit. (“Silver” can be used as a stand-in for something under a crown, and “pence” for something under a silver.)

What flora/fauna is in the region?

There is no plant life on Mairgelenne that could not be found on Earth (yet, at least). Though there have been sightings of strange creatures here and there, every animal with which the townsfolk are familiar will be either domestic (cats, dogs, horses, etc) or wildlife of the kind one might encounter in northern Europe.

Where are we?

The roleplay takes place on an island kingdom named Maireglenne, in a village called Northcliff Pass.

What religion do characters practice?

The Path of Light and overall belief system is detailed here.

What language does my character speak?

The most commonly spoken language in Maireglenne is called "Glennich." There are a smattering of other minority languages and regional dialects around the country as well, but a couple additional ones that we can confirm are:

- Hego, spoken by some smaller communities in Southsea
- Norður, spoken as commonly as Glennich in the Fjords

There are additional languages spoken by people from other parts of the world (e.g., Haguennot, Eirdh).

Can my character use magic?
