New soon-to-be player, here. I am looking to learn more about the setting before making a character, but there seems to be a load of information, and all spread in different places. Could anyone point me to where I should start?

Thanks!

Cheers,

S.p.

Hey there! Thanks for the reply.

I had checked the site. I reckon the Sagas under the "Storyline" section would be a good place to start -- but there are no links to where I could read more about each them... The Wiki seems detailed enough, but I wanted to get a grip of the general idea of the world, before I go reading about monsters and deities, etc.

In order to give you a general idea:

Kymlun is an original world with its own gods (who take an active role in the lives of mortals) and heroes. It sits on a single continent, which is made up of several cities (you can read more about each on the wiki).
This is a high magic world, where plane travelling is rare, but not unheard of. Each city has its own mage's council with magical secrets that are jealously guarded by the wizards.
The main villains are devils, demons, and the undead. Undeath was created by Lucifer himself after he found himself cast down into Hell by the Overgod, Haniel. The Ghazakiin, an immortal race of elf-like fey and the first race to grace Earth, have dedicated their deathless existence to the erradication of the undead. However, they have taken a step back in recent years and have let lesser mortals "deal with it."
The Rabians (followers of Rabio, which usually include orcs, goblins, giants, etc.) have also recently started an uprising. The various Orc Wars are usually attributed to her commands (there have been several orc wars in the past...about eight total).
This should give you a general idea of the world, but feel free to look at the wiki for more details. Don't be afraid to ask, either.

Thanks for the overview.

So, is Kymlun the name of... the continent? The world/planet? The continent? The realm/kingdom empire that sits on that continent?

What is the policy regarding characters from other worlds/planes/etc? I was thinking that perhaps I might RP a total foreigner, which would be a fun way to get to know the world ICly.

Kymlun is the name of the continent.
The Earth is named Gaia.
The Kingdoms are:

Solinar
B'Ahal
Westport
Nheraz'Kharr
Elmensfaar
Morinsen
Glunkweigl
Lushleaf
Rivenwood

Each one of the kingdoms is considered a separate nation with its own laws and regulations and culture. I would suggest -not- rping someone from a different plane. Instead, look up information about the first four cities I listed and, in order to claim ignorance, say you came from an outlying village. Keep in mind that if you're an elf, you probably came from Elmensfaar. If you're a gnome, you came from Glunkweigl. Hin? Lushleaf. Dwarf? Morinsen.
Rivenwood is the home of the sea elves, but you need to have a certain amount of rp tokens to play one.

I prefer to do quality posting on the website which is why it's very little just yet. However, if you have any questions I'm happy to answer them.

Welcome to Kymlun!
