It is our intention to allow all new players to start on a starter facet until they are ready to put in their application. We intend to keep applications simple.

Before You Apply

There is no urgency for you to submit your application. The shard is set up on auto account creation and you can get in and explore right now. Feel free to take some time to understand the storyline and then figure out how best you might craft a character to be involved.

1. Updates to the application are logged here.
2. Read the Application Guidelines.
3. Be familiar with the map & facets we are using and what access you may or may not have based on your application.
4. Know the options for Housing if you intend to have a house or shop.
5. Read the Rules.
6. Review this Player vs Player (Overview)

Beginnings

Your arrival in Sanctuary, which is called Cuiviénen by the Aelfeyn, begins on Summer Isle home to the Grey Rider. An island in the western sea which is a true sanctuary. The Grey Rider protects his lands from the ravages of war, making it an excellent location for vacation and commerce. Most of the heroes keep homes or shops here where they are able to welcome new realm arrivals.

Ask yourself this question when considering character ideas: "If my character is not going to further some god's own agenda, why was my character brought here in the first place."

Commonly asked Questions about Applications

- Who do I talk to, now that my application is moved, to arrange for my alt?

 Answer: You can make an alt character without an application. But if you intend on having that character participate in the shard storyline I.E. Leave Summer Isle, you will need to submit an application for that Alt.

House Application

The goal of your noble house is to rule an area of the map, and then to eventually rule one of the five kingdoms or support another houses' intention to rule. The ultimate goal of ruling a kingdom is to place a favored deity upon one of the Arcanum Crystals. Players accomplish this goal with the management and direction of large NPC armies in RPCSS. We expect noble house teams to be as small as three, where each of the players represent one of the house's leadership positions -- consider the "small council" of Game of Thrones. Read More ...
