Welcome!
So you're ready to take the next step into Aurion? Have you read the introduction and the legend of The King and The Egg Bearer?
Yes? Good. Time to move on.
Here in Aurion, we follow these rules:
1.) We know that there are people of all ages here, so we don't use excessive profanity.
2.) We all care about each other, we never insult or make slurs about someone.
3.) We have fun and we don't cheat! Posting spam, excessive posting in threads, etc. just to get lots of scales is considered cheating!
If you break these rules, you could be placed under house arrest(suspending account for 1-10 days) or you could ever be exiled from Aurion(account frozen or deleted). So don't break the rules. ^-^
Obtaining Your Egg
I'm sure you're all excited about getting your egg. Well, hate to break it to you, but you don't quite get your egg yet.
Before any of that, you must introduce us to your character! To do this, travel to the Whispering Woods, post your character description, and then wait a little while for an administrator to okay your character. It shouldn't take long.
Then, you may begin RPing in one of the four REGIONS of Aurion. There is the North Region, South Region, West Region, and East Region.(The people of Aurion aren't very creative with their names) You may RP in any location within that region(unless it says that you may not)
Your beginning post will usually take place at your character's house/camp/etc. After a post or two, you will be visited by a Mysterious Stranger, who will grant you a Magic Egg.
You must take your egg and RUN! The Dark Prince is after ANYONE with an egg! Keep your egg hidden from the world. After a bit of RPing with others, the egg will hatch!
And THEN, you get to decide what your creature is. Travel back to the Whispering Woods and post your creature bio! Is it a dragon? A unicorn? A puppy? It's your creature, and Aurion is such a wonderful place! It could be anything!
From there, you decide! Will you mingle with all the other RPers? Will you set out on a journey? Will you make friends or enemies? Will you meet Eriik himself? Anything and Everything is up to you!
You get to shape the world!
Scales
Scales are the currency of Aurion. They are very valuable. They appear to be white discs with the luster of a pearl. Some say they came from dragons. Others say they are natural stones that just became common currency. Whatever they are, they are very valuable.
You can gain scales in many ways. When you first join, you are awarded 50 scales. You gain scales when you post or when someone exhaults you using karma. You can gain scales by doing quests for merchants and such. You may get scales in a random event. Perhaps you join a faction and get a weekly allowance.
You may use scales in any way you please. Food for yourself or your creature, armour, a sword, or that nice Kinak-skin hat you've had your eye on.
Creatures
Creatures don't have levels, HP, or any other numeral value attached. Your dragon may become stronger after you make it fly several hundred miles or your griffen may become smarter after reading some books, but Aurionians don't attach numbers to those things.
Creatures should be well-balanced. Your dragon is large and strong, but he isn't so fast or smart. To every advantage, there is a disadvantage.
Creatures need to eat. You can send them hunting for wild Oviat or they can graze on fresh Miki grass, but they do need other nourishment, or they will grow weak and dye.
Creatures can get sick. If they do, take them to a shaman immeadiately.
Each creature has a Special Ability. This may be telekinesis, psychometry, fancy fire control, or anything else you can think of. Be reasonable with these though. Your unicorn cannot kill anyone it wants by just wishing them dead. Sorry. ^-^
Your Character
You need to eat too. And I hope you don't eat raw Oviat meat or Miki grass. Yuck! Buy food for yourself with scales.
You can get sick, especially in winter and summer. Summers in Aurion are hot, winters are freezing. Boots and a good water skin are usually in order.
Your character is assigned a class that you may pick. They can be a Rogue, Warrior, Rider, Sneak, or Mage.(Explained below)
Classes
Rogue - Jack of all trades. These people are resourceful and capable. They can hunt, fish, fight, do a spell or two, and care well for their pet. They get no bonuses.
Warrior - These people are tough. They are great hunters and brilliant fighters. The get discounts on armour and weapons and they can do freelance hunting jobs for merchants(which pay well).
Rider - These people are very good at taking care of their creatures. They develop intense bonds with them. Their creatures don't get sick at all and they can take care of another creature(limit of 1 extra) if they've proven themselves. These people can also fish.
Sneak - These are the theives. They are stealthy and adept at lockpicking and pickpocketing. They recieve 50 extra scales when they start, they get more random scale events, and they can join secret factions.
Mage - These are magic users. They can cast spells and have a aura around them that makes them charming and influential. They can get discounts at shops, they get random magic events, and their creatures can learn magic too.
Time Passage
Years are 60 real-life days. Every 15 days, the season changes. The weather usually changes only one-two times a season. Pretty simple, right?
PLOTS AND THE STORY!
Alright, so by now, most of you kind of know about Yurrik, Eriik, the Dark Prince, and his Police. Or you have a concept. Well, while that's important, many many years will pass before the Royal Egg hatches. And even when it does, it still has to grow and mature, until it is strong enough to fight.
So, with that in mind, I urge you to not just focus on the central plot! Sure, prepare yourself for the fight! But take advantage of the other opportunities here too, besides just the central ones. Seek out the dragons of the Aurionian Mountains(Or join them). Venture to a place that no one has yet to venture! Explore, learn, grow, all with your new-found RPing friends, your creautre, and their creatures!
Like I said, it's your choice! Shape the world! Your own legend awaits!!
