WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FACTION!

[abraxasmods]

TIME TO EXPLORE

Welcome to three new cities! Now that your characters have access to new places, we wanted to give you all the information you need to start shaping the world of Abraxas. Each of these pages contains a basic outline of each city's setting and important people. Some of these people will be available for NPC interaction on the IC posts for each city.

Please feel free to learn about
Solvunn / The Free Cities / Nott

YOUR NEW FACTION

We know you may have questions about what a new faction means for your characters. Don't worry — we have written a guide to help you explore your options.

We would again like to stress that this world is yours to mold! We encourage you to do things like name the shops and create the NPCs that work in them! Dream up the things held in the museums. Decide what styles of clothing and food can be found. Anything you can think of! All we ask is that you keep the general setting and attitude of each locale intact. If you find yourself truly stumped as to whether something is allowed, please ask us.

NPC INTERACTION

For each new city post, we are offering NPC interactions! The available options are

◎Solvunn
✒︎Rowan March

◎The Free Cities
✒︎Prime Minister Marlo Reiner

◎Nott
✒︎Lord of Representatives Lyle Vela

◎Castle Thorne
✒︎Jolene Sybell

At Castle Thorne, Jolene Sybell will be conducting the interrogations (with assistance from some angry guards). All characters will be interrogated, but the actual thread is optional. If your character wouldn't have much to say and isn't willing to flip on the others, they will be released without much hassle.

Due to mod availability, please take into consideration how your character would receive being interrogated before requesting an NPC thread. Handwaving is perfectly acceptable!

We will be accepting NPC threads until Friday, September 3rd at 11:59PM EST. If you have tagged the NPC thread by that time, you will receive a response! And please, remember that your mods are regular humans with full-time jobs, so while we will do everything in our power to tag expeditiously, your patience is appreciated.

THE HORIZON

And just as a note, please remember that characters cannot yet travel between cities, but they are welcome to visit each other in the Horizon! Characters who have not yet been there can be introduced to it via physical touch from a character who has been there and can take them there, and all first timers in the Horizon experience memory loss.

Re: QUESTIONS

[coerthantorment]

Another Solvunn question to be sure I have their attitude right:

1) Is it reasonable for characters to settle in any of the settlements/are they exempt from the "immigrants go to the tertiary settlement" rule?

2) Solvunn is described as having pretty short workdays and valuing free time culturally. Would they find it at all weird and distasteful for one of the new arrivals to put in much longer hours than everyone else? Or are they just kind of like "you do you" when it comes to that stuff?

[abraxasmods]

1. The long answer is that it depends upon the specialization of their skills! If someone were a good craftsman or scholar, they may stay in the primary settlement, if they're good with their hands or don't have any particular skills, maybe they could work as a farmhand in the secondary settlement. Those who are perceived to be troublemakers or don't seem to fit in the others will be sent to the tertiary settlement. The short answer is follow your heart!

2. Not at all! The general mood is "you do you" with the caveat that whatever you're doing is ultimately for the community. If you're allowing citizens to spend a few extra hours of free time, they're not going to complain!

1. Okay cool. And just to be sure: is military training and/or hunting considered a specialized skill that would be of interest to them? Also, is healing magic something they consider to be valuable or do they find that unnotable in comparison to whatever they have going on with their gods?

2. Okay sweet, thanks. I wasn't sure if they had some kind of spiritual/ritual reason for that so I figured I'd check.

1. Hunting is always a valuable asset! Between the three settlements, there are lots of mouths to feed and the new additions to their population only make that skill more valuable to the eyes of the community. They're not hurting for supplies, but lending a hand is always appreciated. And noticed. :)

2. Why, they do it for the gods, of course!
