I personnaly kind of like the idea of a human brought up in a dessert elf society.
I got listening to some music while decided how to start the main topic and ended up writing a brief history of the contient. I'll try to get the writing doen to get the party together tommorow so that you can rp amongst the party between updates to get to know each other. It may take me a bit as I will also be doing Redkite's intro but after writing the continetal history I have quite a bit inspiration and hopefully won't get bogged down with finishing up my homework and at the same time do some prep for my exams. I really should stop telling myself all this writing is prep for my english exam.
The topic can be found
here. Remember to try and stay in character completely and put all OOC comments in this topic. As I can't edit the posts myself I may ask you to modify them out of there. It makes it much more immersive and alot easier for archiving on my end.
The topic includes a brief histroy of the continent from a human-centric point of veiw as they form the backbone of society on the continent.
I'll probably edit the name of this topic to Tales of Altera OOC: once I know everyone has seen this as to be sure no one wonders where the topic went.
