How do I apply for an exile character?
We are using a modified version of our residency application for this purpose. Please have a look at +lhelp exiles in a HRW-parented room on the game.
What kind of characters are you looking for?
What kind of character can you think of? If you're not sure if your concept will fit, please feel free to talk to the admin team; we're more than happy to work with you to come up with something that will work for everyone.
High Reaches Hold racial attributes
The ruling family of High Reaches Hold has a roughly nordic look. This does not mean that every exile character must be blue-eyed and blonde-haired!
Who was exiled to the island?
Among other possibilities...
- Active rebels - those who were plotting against Lord Beradin.
- The family of active rebels, whether or not they knew what was going on, or were at all involved.
- Innocents who got caught up in the trials without any involvement at all.
- Unrelated people who were out of favor with Lord Beradin or his immediate family, and were conveniently gotten rid of.
What is the island like?
Barren. Rocky. Cold. This is no tropical island: it's far from paradise. But there are caves and fresh water, and there's plenty of seafood.
Do the exiles know that they are exiles?
Yes - and no. The information is certainly there, and certainly some believe it very strongly. For others, however, the very idea is so remote from their lives that they have dismissed it as fairy stories. It's certainly been long enough that the stories differ.
Will exile characters be eligible for Search?
Yes.
Is there a closing date for new exiles to be created?
Yes. We will likely be closing off exile applications around the start of our search cycle, in June.
What else is important to keep in mind?
It has been eighty-odd turns since the exiles arrived on these islands: long enough that none of the original exiles are still alive.
What this means is that (with one notable exception) the exiles live in a completely different world from that inhabited by the rest of the planet. It's likely that dragons, weyrs, holds, and everything else taken for granted by most Pernese, are little more than myths (if that) to the exiles.
It is our hope, with this project, that we can play something just a little different.
