Greetings all!

My mistake, Condolences for your death! The role play runs deep!
I would absolutely love to be placed in contact with Sir Cinder. I looked for pictures of Dark elves and saw he earned an award and I appreciated his attention to detail and style. Most notably his sword! I would absolutely love to fashion one of similar quality. or perhaps a few weapons for effect. It is quite extraordinary craftsmanship.
In addition to his Armor. Thank you again.

Beth,

Welcome! I'm Rachel, one of the new player marshals that Joe mentioned. I would be happy to go over some of the differences in Knight Realms lore and Forgotten Realms/ other lores, especially pertaining to dark elves. I could also discuss what it means if you choose to be an evil character vs ambivalent or even good. KR has a fair amount of ambivalent characters who will help when there is something in it for them, but aren't necessarily evil. Additionally, unbranded drow are questioned every month by the barony. There are many people who play racist characters at KR, including one of my characters, and I want to give you fair warning that as a drow, people will 'spit at you', call you names, etc. It may be difficult to come into a new community with such attitudes unless you're prepared for it.

That said, you are certainly welcome to play who/how you want. If you have a backstory idea, the sooner you send it for approval. The email is:

If you have questions/ideas/concerns, I will do my best to answer them if you send me a PM, or you can post them here and any of the new player marshals will certainly get back to you.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Thank you for this bit of knowledge Onca. Racist's I can deal with. It is something that happens in real life after all as well. But I am presuming that this racism is likely stronger as people would eye me always with suspicion. I like the idea of being an imposing force just because of my skin color and where I may have once or once not lived. Furthermore how I was raised.... I am Aware KR has different lore and story as Forgotten Realms I was just explaining my background with such characters as being reviled and being full of hate and disdain by all other creatures. And possibly feared. When you say spit. it's role play not actually people spitting ON me? I suppose I'll work on reflexes if such a skill exists to deflect spit! Neutral is also an option? Seeking and getting knowledge as to how I decide my characters persona.
I like being questioned/ interrogated. It adds to the appeal of the role play keeping plots twisting and the role play fun. I've a backstory of course but I'm working on melding some of the lore that I've read about KR and KR's take on Dark Elves. Do Alliances exist? Not that being a Dark elf would or would not deign to join one unless of course it made my purse a bit heavier!

Hi! I'm Jeremy, and I love when people are interested in trying Knight Realms. You're going to have fun as a drow in the game. About spitting, most people will ask you before hand oog if you consent to something like that. They're not going to do that if you don't want them to do that. We are very courteous and kind people. Can't wait to see you in game!

Hi there!

I know that none of MY characters would spit on a Drow, (Especially not Sir Cinder, he just SCARES me) but out-of-game, I would assume that if someone played a racist-against-Dark-Elves character, they'd surely just make a big show of leaning forth and making a big PTUI! noise with their mouth without ACTUALLY spitting at you.

It can be tough to play an "evil" character, if that's what you want. I mean keeping secrets in-game is easy enough, but I think it would be tough to keep out-of-game secrets from being found out in-game. I mean, no one likes to meta-game, but if you were to use a spell or skill against another player, that person is going to know what was done to him or her. I'd love to play an evil character someday, just for the challenge, but that's a long way off.

This is what I meant, exactly. I just wanted to give you an idea of the reception of the character so YOU did not feel unwelcome, OOG. As for the difference between good, evil, and neutral, while your alignment isn't written on your card like it is in D&D, I tend to think of playing characters using their alignment system anyway. For brevity's sake, what I mean by that is: I have one GOOD character. If I had to classify her in D&D terms, she would be NG or LG. I have one neutral character. I could even classify her as CN or CG, depending on the day/event. There are even 3 neutral gods to worship who are accepted, although sometimes looked down on (like younger siblings, or lesser gods).

So yes, it's entirely possible to be evil, neutral, or good, and the only truly defining acts of this are IG actions and what god you worship. Otherwise it comes down to personality.

I hope that helps!
