Welcome to the Age of the Witch
First there was the Age of the Faery, it came and past long before human history can recount. It was an age of chaos and mayhem
ruled over by the Faery Queen herself. The Seelie Court toyed with human life and their mischevious ways became the makings of children's bedtimes
stories.
Then came the Age of the Vampire. The Lord Vampire desired The Faery Queen and The Faery Queen was no match for the Lord Vampire. Their joining
created what is known as the Unseelie Court - creatures of such darkness and evil the world has ever known. Our worst nightmares brought into
physical form.
Then came the Age of the Dragon. The chosen few brought to power to protect the world from the mayhem created by the Lord Vampire and the Faery
Queen. It was the Dragons that killed the last of the vampire population and chased the faery-kin away, locking them into an alternate world
seperate from our own only known as The Otherworld.
With the peace that followed the Dragons drifted into the background - ever present, always patrolling but giving way for the Age of Man.
Since that day a storm has been brewing within The Otherworld. A plot to escape and reclaim the world that is over a millenia in the making is
finally coming to fruition. The sanctity of the Sarkhan Council has been breached by the darkness and the Dragons cannot trust their own
kin.
They have turned to the witches for help - the women who had once upon a time been their consorts are now their last hope to keep a war from
breaking out.
Walk into the Umbra and welcome the Age of the Witch.
Rules & Guidelines
- Clean Slate:We have a clean slate policy. We don't care what you've done in a previous life (or character) - you can start fresh here.
Those found trying to taint the reputation of one of our players because of prior grudges or issues will be asked to remove themselves.
- 2 Strikes: If you seem to have a problem with following our rules you will be given two warnings by admin. If we have to speak to you a
3rd time about the same issue you will be asked to remove yourself.
- Avatars: Avatars will be tasteful without nudity. If you're not sure feel free to ask an admin. Avatars should be no larger than 550 x
650.
- OOC: We don't mind a bit of OOC here and there but if others are in the middle of a major roleplay we ask that you be considerate and
take extensive OOC conversations to MSN or PM.
- Observing: We don't mind people coming in to observe - just please choose a proper name and let us know that you intend to just observe.
- Character Sheets: You do not need a character sheet in order to start playing. However if you are planning on playing a character with
magic powers we do ask that you fill one out prior to joining into any major storylines.
- Storytelling: Anyone is welcome to hop in as storyteller to pick up the personas of NPC's in order to enhance their roleplay so long as
the roleplay follows our etiquette guidelines.
- Roleplay Etiquette:
Meta-Gaming - Meta-gaming is the act of using information you have recieved OOC (Out of Character) or through another character in such
a way as to effect the roleplay adversely. It may also be defined as the act of having a character pursue a specific course of action in game due
to issues which have arisen outside of the game. (Ex: You decide to kill someone's character just because they killed your character in the Trekkie
room down the whochat).
Dead is Dead - So the hand of fate played out poorly in your favor and your character has died. It happens - get over it. Every story (even
your characters personal one) must have a beginning and yes, an end. When your character dies, so does all of his or her knowledge. For this reason
we would rather your new reincarnation not be related to your previous character in any way shape or form. This is a chance to start fresh and
different - take advantage of it.
Roleplay Discrepancies - Discrepencies happen - but we do expect a certain level of decorum when handling these issues as they occur.
Resorting to name calling and hissy fits won't only get you in trouble - it'll get you suspended from the room until you can prove to the
Storytellers that you are capable of being grown up.
Should there be a discrepency between two players, please politely take it to PM or to messengers in order to discuss a course of action. If the
two players cannot come to an agreement then you can call in an Admin to mediate.
