Astoria RolePlay

Golden Rules

• The game is a pact between players: we may cross blades in roleplay, but never break the word outside of character.
• Consent of the other is required for impactful actions (capture leading to adult behaviors).
• Setting your limits in your profile would be clearer for other players.
• Trap to avoid: imposing an action on someone without their agreement.

Neighbors & Borders

The jungle hides the desert and the ocean leads to the fjords; no path is safe. The regions are connected: you can travel by foot, by horse, by ship.

The Four Realms

Hávamál

“Where the winds carve the fjords and where each oath weighs more than a sword.”

Longhouses, fjords, trials and oaths, storms.

Ocean Nord

“The ocean whispers stories to those who know how to listen to its waves.”

Navigation routes, islets, boardings allowed. Rumors carried by the waves, lost islands.

Rain Forest

“The jungle hides ruins, but also secrets clinging to the roots.”

Ruins, tall grasses, secrets and dangers.

Tahari

“The desert never lies: it shows everything, slowly, grain after grain.”

Shifting dunes and markets of secrets. Caravans, sandstorms, mirages.

Three Things to Avoid

1. Being mean (even as a joke, unless it’s in the scenario and everyone agrees).
2. Pretending to know everything (your character is not an omniscient god… unless they really are a god, but then they must at least have one ridiculous flaw).
3. Throwing atomic spells or scripts that crash everyone (that’s reserved for the staff… when they spill their coffee on the server).

Atmosphere & Spirit of Play

• Adult-only universe (18+). No child roles are accepted.
• Open to beginners and to those who enjoy combat training, all in a friendly atmosphere.
• Play only with the information your character can know.
• Give a chance: your character has strengths and weaknesses.
• Be immersive, playful, fierce, big-hearted, and let go — but don’t forget that every player is a human behind the screen.
