modly post #3
Hello all, and welcome to our new players! Our third round of adds was just completed, so if our previous members haven't already, please run the friends button again to update your lists.
We also wanted to let you guys know of a pretty big update we made to the game today, and forward you to our new locations and history guide to Ferelden/character directory, complete with shiny pictures and (relatively) brief descriptions of significant landmarks and NPCs, as well as a rundown of the information you gave us in your applications. We asked for it for a reason. ;] Please let us know if there are any errors in what we've listed for your characters and we'll correct it ASAP.
And our biggest announcement of all is that, because we now have the majority of our premade roles filled, we intend to officially begin play this weekend, on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19TH. What this means is that either the mods or the players involved (for example, the bard or the noble can start their group's thread instead) will start posting up threads for each group of characters, as outlined in the previously established timeline we put up a few days ago. As a recap, Alistair is still on his way to gather recruits, taking the Noble, Crow, and Bard with him to Orzammar. The Commoner and Elf have been out of jail and training at the Warden's Keep in Amaranthine for about a month now, while the Mage and Templar (along with three other mages and two Templar guards) are on their way there, traveling along the North Road. The recently exiled dwarves are just meeting each other on the surface. Meanwhile, the two Dalish elves are still on the run from the Chantry and the mage hunting Templars who are after them. As for those playing companion characters, we are currently leaving it up to you to decide where you'd like them to be. If you would like to have them run into any of the future Wardens, please feel free to do so as long as you discuss it with the other players first.
After our play begins in "present time", you are still welcome to post up backdated narratives, scenes, or threads in the main comm -- just be sure to label it as such! We're really amazed by what everyone's come up with so far and love getting insight into your characters' respective histories. As always, if there's anything that's unclear, just drop us a line and we'll answer any questions you have to the best of our ability. Thank you all for making this game a bigger and better success than we had expected it to be! :]
