Traveling Heroes

The inter-dimensional traveler is core to this world's historical development. Most new players choose to bring in an existing character rather than jump in feet first by playing a native. We accept most original characters from most medieval fantasy worlds.

Restrictions

This player character is not native to this world, but rather comes from an alternate (medieval fantasy) world. Part of your character's past and present story must include the understanding that their previous existence in prior worlds begins to fade within a reasonably short period of time and they may eventually consider themselves native to the world.

Matching Race on your Application

Regardless of your character's actual place of birth race, they must fit within one of the four native races categories; Human, Aelfeyn, Muiri, Hoggur or be a Summons & Constructs.

The native race pages have a selection of documented sub-races that have a high population density, an unusual backstory, or historical relevance. There are many more types of sub-races living in Sanctuary then are documented. If you do not see a sub-race that exactly matches your original character that's fine, you don't have to. You simply need to choose which race matches your sub-race.

For Example: We don't have Drow as a native race. We have two similar races, but no actual Drow. That doesn't mean you have to claim your Drow is something else to get approved, you just have to say your traveler is an "Aelfeyn | Drow" on your application.

Obviously, once your character begins to forget he's no longer a traveler, you'll need to figure out how he explains any discrepancies.

Aelfeyn

In the lore of the travelers they are known by many other names; the Alfar, the Trow, the Gentry, the Children of Dana, Trooping Fairies, Vanyarin, Court Fey, The Eldar and the Avari, High Elves, Snow Elves, and by dozens of other names from hundreds of other worlds.

When one of the Aelfeyn return to Sanctuary, which they call Cuiviénen, they immediately understand their origins. They know that they are created of darkness and light, of water and earth, and that all of the children were once one, and though they may be divided by goals in this life, they are the chosen.

This category is for the races of people who are seen as being more than human, and are generally considered to be tall, elegant, with long hair and unusual eyes.

• Alfar of Norse myth, aka Snow Elves or Grimmwold's Trow
• Tuatha de Dannan of Irish myth (aka Sidhe, Aos Si, and Daoine Dìth)
• Tolkien's elves
• Dark Elves
• Elven-style races who born Aelfeyn and then become dragons in later years are considered Aelfeyn and not "true" dragons like those of the Muiri or Hoggur dragons.
