New Character History Submission System was created by Casandra (Casandra)
Character backgrounds.

If you haven’t already heard about it, or discovered it on your own, this is officially announcing the new system for submitting your Character History.
In the past, backgrounds were submitted via email, by filling out a form. The new system makes it easy to submit and easy for them to be approved. You will also be able to access it at any time, and to add additional entries.

It’s easy: Just sign into your character card @ cards.knightrealms.com. You will see a link that says Character Chronicle. Just click on it and submit your history.

Please do this, even if you have already turned in a history the old way. We will not be able to move any previously submitted histories to this new spot.

• Once you submit it, it will go to a “pending” status. We will read it over and either approve it, or ask you to revise it.

Once it is approved, you will receive 1 build!

More good news. Every year you may submit an additional entry, chronicling your adventures in Travance. For every approved addition, you get another build.

Thank you and let us know if you have any questions.

Can we edit our character histories adn remove something we later thought of as a bad idea from it, and elaborate in other areas? And when should we start the every year in travance thing, on our one year IG anniversary or in January?

At the moment I believe you can only edit it until it has been approved. The thought of you editing an entry after it has already been approved could get complicated, though well think about updating the system however we can in the future. For now, just re-read your history a few times before hitting the submit button.

As for when you post your yearly entries it dosnt matter. Try to title them "John Smith Year 1, 2, 3," or anything similar to that.

If we had already used that link before this post went up, do you want us to resubmit now, or will it already be considered pending

If you can see it from your character card page it should be fine. Jason, yours is not submitted.

If it read "Pending" in the past, and now does not, does that mean it's been approved? Or will it say "Approved" when/if it's approved?

Yours has been approved, so if it simply no longer said "Pending", than that must be it for now.

We will tweak the system to make the communication of all this better as we discover new ways to do so.

Thanks ;)

I put it in, but I can't even find where it would say pending. I must be missing something.

Do we submit before or after being to our first event? I'm glad I get to revise at any rate, my writing wasn't up to par with my personal standards.
Thanks!

At the moment, you have to have a character card in the database. If you have a character card in the database than you can submit a history.

So, I submitted mine the old way and it was approved, now I re-submitted via the Card System 14 days ago and all it says is "Submitted", not "Pending" or anything...just wanted to check and see if this is normal? :)

Yep, we are backlogged. Everyone submitted theirs all at once, which was good, but we weren't exactly prepared for the sheer quantity of submissions. After this event we will probably get a few more people onboard to get the initial approvals complete. Thanks ;)

Is there a length limit on the history? Because I have two versions, one that is a basic idea of the history, and one that has a bit more detail.

There is no limit however, I will share with you a simple fact, the shorter it is the quicker it will be approved. A fact of life is that we are trying hard to approve them in between doing everything else, so we tend to tackle the shorter ones first and save the longer ones for last.

Thanks James. I'm going to submit the more detailed one. I'll be patient with you guys. There's no rush for my history to be looked at. (This history is like two and a quarter pages long).

Just an update on the process. When your Character Chronicle is approved you will now receive an email.

Please remember that you are limited to submitting one per year. This means you can submit one at the start of your character's life and on every anniversary.
