An exerpt from the Site History

... Long years out of the memory of even living Aes Sedai and Asha'man, the Last Battle occurred. The Dragon Reborn- some say his name was al'Thor -won, sealing the Dark One back in his prison, saving the world. The world was still in chaos though, the Tower was still split, and Asha'man were still unreasonably feared. Gray sisters from both factions of Aes Sedai tried to reach an agreement, but it proved impossible. Finally, they gave up, and the Salidar sisters went back to Altara and set up a permanent home. They continued to live in the buildings there, but also built new, better ones. There is still no tower in Salidar, just a group of buildings within a much larger, thriving city.

The three factions of channelers squabbled constantly, never able to find any peace, the only good thing was that they were far separated by land. Nearly one hundred years after the Last Battle, the channelers decided it was useless. They minimized their contact with one another, and focused on themselves and the rest of the world. With the Aes Sedai and Asha'man settling, the rest of the world was finally able to as well, returning to their old homes, and for the most part their old boundaries...

Okay new members, are you confused as to where to go now? Here are a few steps that you can follow in order to get settled here at The Three Powers from your friendly neighbourhood Salidar Keeper :)

Step 1
Please read the Constitution forum - This shows that you have read and agree to the Site Rules. You must do so before you are allowed to roleplay with the rest of the members. Once you have done this, you can sign up for the site!

Step 2
Now is the time to start thinking of what type of character you want to play. Here, you may become a Salidar Aes Sedai, a White Tower Aes Sedai or a Black Tower Asha'man. Read the Ajah and Cue thread to get a better understanding of the groups available for each faction. Post in the Sign Up thread when you have made you choice.

Step 3
After you have chosen your character type, now you can start to look for an avatar and signature. If you are having troubles with anything, just PM me (Ilyana Sedai). Once you have your 'image' in place, please move on to Biographies forums. Inside you will find a thread marked Biography Guidelines. Please read and respond so you know what is expected in your biography.

Step 4 (Hope you are still with me this far. :) )
Once you are done inside the Biography Rules, make sure to read the Talents and OP Guide thread for channelers. Once you have read and responded, please create your own character biography. Remember that this character is yours and can have whatever personality, looks and history you want :)

Step 5
Here’s the waiting game. Your character’s Bio will have to be read and approved by one of the Amyrlins, Keepers, the M'hael, or the Val a'Dinen. Once approved you are more than welcome to start roleplaying and really start to have fun. When you are completely approved, your Bio will have two semi-colon's (::) beside it.

Step 6
HAVE FUN!... I mean it… :)
Or the Keeper will be after you!
:D

PS, please R&R in the Link's Rules thread whenever you have a moment :) And feel free to post questions here!

FAQ

What is the difference between Talents, talents and Weaves?
Talents are Talents like Dreamwalking and such. Weaves and talents are skills, if you will, things that characters are good at. I only called the talents so for lack of a better word, but I will now call them Skills.

I introduced skills to let characters be more rounded if their player chooses to be. Skills are talents that characters have that have nothing to do with the One Power at all and are mostly physical abilities. Say Ilyana was an amazing horsewoman and it was important to me to include that - I would replace a Weave with a Skill.


"Talents: Each character is able to choose one Talent at the start of roleplay, provided it is an approved one." What exactly does this mean?
Talents are not a common thing, so it is possible to not even have a Talent, as in Katima's case. Nonetheless, each character created is allowed one Talent at character creation.

Well, making yourself a decent roleplay name would be a nice start. :)

Looks like you've gotten set up as a Soldier, now it's time to start on step three.
