New Player Hello.

Welcome back to Travance! I do hope you enjoy your next event here! Oh, and I'm Jamie, (IG: Avalyn) I'm fairly new so I don't think I have met you before. But if you ever need me, PM me.

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I think I may wait until a better photo comes up, that costume is from over 11 years ago. :S

I am not going to play the same thing I did back then, so on second thought, nevermind.

Doing some background research, I was perusing the maps of Kormyre. I am a little confused by the descriptions of the Great Rift.

I get that the Great Rift separates the continent, but what is the Great Rift? Is it a canyon or some magical manifestation, or both?

Next question, I also have read that explorers found a way through a network of caverns to the other side of the rift... Can't you just sail across the Quail Straights? There is even a port city on the other side now...

So, does that mean the caverns are not used in favor of the quicker and probably safer ship route now?

I intend to make a Kormyrean PC, hopefully for the October event, in a nutshell, how would he have come to Travance?

I think the Rift is just a giant version of the Grand Canyon. As a Komyrian, you have a multitude of options, just be creative. As a Selandrian, I had to caravan jump till I reached Angst, where I hitched a ship to Travance. But for you, it's easier, so come up with something fun.

Hello, and welcome back!

my name's Justin, and I'm a New Player Marshal. If there's anything you need, let me know.

While I can't go into great detail about the rift (partially because I don't know much about it myself) how you choose to arrive in Travance is up to you. My character, being from Coast Haven, obviously took a ship. It's up to you how you want to cross, but know that it does take time. I believe the direct route takes about a week, whereas the ships actually take longer. I would say around 2-3 weeks from port to port.

Ok, noted for both replies...

Some more questions if you don't mind:

One of the profession options that I am considering is Cleric. I can't seem to find the skill Cleric's Weapon described. Where can I find that skill description?

Further, at the moment I have only Sword phys reps. If a Cleric's deity has a Mace as its Holy Weapon, would that make it awkward to use a Sword, or in what way would that limit my character?
