Character Creation
How sides, races, names, and starting cities work when you begin in Karadiyar.
Related in General: Character Creation | Sides | Races
Before you enter the world, you choose a side and a race. Together they define your allies, enemies, starting city, guards, mounts, quest flavour, and base stats.
The two steps
- Pick Free Peoples or Dark Forces on the side selection screen.
- Pick one race available to that side.
- Choose gender where the race allows it.
- Give your character a unique name and begin.
Name rules
- 3 to 16 characters
- Lowercase letters and numbers only
- Reserved system names cannot be used
Side balance
If one side grows too large, the majority side may be temporarily locked for new characters. The smaller side can receive an Underdog Bonus when you join: extra gold, experience, and a starter shield.
