Welcome to Gaia! ::

Breaking any of the rules can lead to being grey-listed or worse.

1. First and foremost: Steal art and die. This is the fastest way to get blacklisted and reported to a mod.
2. Do not edit any of the art
3. Do not PM the shop keepers! Questions shall be posted and answered in this thread only.
4. Be courteous to the shop keepers and all other visitors. Remember the wise-old saying of "If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all"
5. Role-playing (RP) is required. If we see you're inactive for too long (without a posted hiatus), your character will be deleted without any questions asked. You will not recieve a refund.
6. Because this is RP intensive, there will be no co-owning allowed. (You can co-buy, but only one person is allowed to own)
7. To further strengthen rule #5: Only one per owner!
8. Your character cannot be traded or sold for any reason without our permission (and I warn you now that will very-seldom be given)
9. Asking us to give you a character is the more sure-fire way to make sure you never get one.
10. Please no l33t or chat speak. The longer it takes to translate what was said, the more likely I am to ignore it.
11. Please do not advertise in this or any other Xanolonian thread without Permission from myself or Epine.
12. If you lose your character to inactivety or get banned, or otherwise manage somehow to get your character (Or anything else purchased from Xanolonia) taken away you LOSE all rights to that character/pet/item and you will not recieve a refund.
13. Xanolonians and the beasts/pets of Xanolonia can die. You have been warned.
14. Posting here to get the shop owners to guild-post for any NPC or their own Xanolonians is strictly prohibited.

We reserve the rights to change the rules without notice as we see fit

The Land of Xanolonia - A strange land of magic and magical beings. The main City consisting of a few districts, built in a wall. Within the city walls, the districts are divided but unified under the Monarchy. One of the districts is a highly religious one, in which the Church resides. There are also trade and craft and residential districts. Just outside the City are the nomadic tribes. They once owned the entire city, but were driven out of its walls a couple generations back. Inside the city walls, the gardens and plants are maintained to healthy perfection with a mix of gardening expertise and the magic powers held within. Outside of the walls is a drier somewhat barren land. There are lots of magical beings in the land as well, some of which are dangerous, others which are beneficial. Even stepping on the wrong type of plant can prove to be dangerous.



The Monarchy - the recent King died, leaving his kingdom with no ready heir: He left behind a Princess and Prince, the latter being only an infant. The Princess is old enough to rule, but no one else wants to recognize her as a valid leader. The Monarchy has its own Royal army, which has a knighthood associated with it. The Royal army is responsible for safe-guarding the city, and is often patrolling, and generally policing the kingdom. There is a lot of resentment between the Royal guard and the Nomads, which causes most of the bar-room brawls.

The Church - A strong church within the city. The head of the church is a woman of high faith and lots of following. She leads her group of Cardinals, Arch Bishops, Bishops, Vicars, and Priests. She also leads a group of Temple Knights. There is one main Church/Temple in the city, which is located near the castle. The whole of the church resides there. There is a general distrust of the nomadic tribe, which practices its own religion outside the city walls.

The Nomads - A nomadic tribe which resides outside the city walls. The land was once theirs, though, a war many centuries ago, left them defeated. There are much bitter resentment towards the Monarchy and its royal guard. They generally distance themselves from the Church, but there is no resentment. While they reside outside of the city, they pose no threat to the citizens - they deal in a lot of goods-trading and are highly mercantile, dealing mainly in trades and shipping.

The Dhimari - The Dhimari gift is a bloodline trait. Those with the gift will go to train under the lord of the dhimari. Not much is known about their leader.
