There have been cases in the past (i.e. Keshena attempting to steer the guild toward a Spirit-aligned stance) where Severn has stepped in directly and stripped the guild of its subterfuge. It is possible that Severn isn't cutting them off,…

Haha, yeah, that's actually a very good comparison to make. There's probably some things that will never be recreated and have been permanently lost, but until the Grand Artifice unravels entirely it's impossible to tell the difference bet…

Everything that has been said above as regards our policy on character bios is more or less absolutely correct. Allowing player-written material on player characters sets a very dangerous precedent. We have multiple threads, and even a forum for rol…

In keeping with Aetolia's recent commitment to social justice, we do not want to implement a change that would correlate roleplaying with mental deficiency. We feel that this is dismissive and erasing of a major portion of our p…
Our design philosophy for this change was one that's driven us at every level of Aetolian development; that is to say, how could we make it easier for player-killers to interface with the roleplaying side of the game without killing everything that …
...that owing to an overabundance of events involving the shards of the Sword of Truth, saying the word "shards" around Razmael will cause him to ditch you from the game as a kneejerk reaction?
