Where in the books do we want to start bringing in story? ? A communal meeting would also be nice to introduce the starting characters.

:: THE WHITE TOWER :: The White Tower is the home of Aes Sedai, the fully-trained users of the One Power, and it is the most influential organization in the known world. Before becoming Aes Sedai, women begin their journey as novices, the first level of apprenticeship. Typically they'll spend anywhere from 5-10 years in this rank, depending on various factors; those who are more powerful or learn more quickly tend to go through training the fastest. Once they're deemed skilled enough, novices are allowed to go through a rigorous test known informally as the Three Arches. If they pass, they become Accepted. Again, apprentices spend about 5-10 years at this rank…

[WIP] Each listed place is described in a post below with details on that area and its people. For the towns, more information can be found by looking it up, but beware of possible spoilers. Not all cities/towns will be listed for each country.

Character Development Threads These threads should be done for every character you have. Posted on this board, they will serve two purposes: First, each should include a small but detailed "Local Bio" at the top that tells us about your character and what others around them would know or perceive about them (for example, personality, general views, past actions, etc.). This is applicable to characters who have spent months or years or even decades in basically the same locale or have a reputation with a certain organization. Since biographies of characters will not include their time in the roleplay and how they have developed since their biography was approve…

THE ONE POWER There are several posts in this thread covering all relevant topics to the One Power and channeling for male characters. Please be sure to read them all if you need a refresher or to understand how it all works! The True Source is a mystical force set in place by the Creator to eternally fuel the turning of the Wheel of Time. The One Power can be drawn from the True Source by gifted individuals called channelers. The One Power is composed of five elemental flows: Air, Earth, Fire, Spirit, and Water. Wielding the One Power to create affects is referred to as weaving the flows, while particular strength with individual flows is ca…

The Legacy RP Club of DM, which was until recently our only RP club, has run over many years and iterations and that means many beloved characters have been created and played in that time. Characters who have been played already in the Dragon Reborn Portal Stone World are more than welcome to come here. There are only a couple things to keep in mind: Please resubmit a character bio to the new bio board for record and organization purposes, but also state that your character is from the PSW and show it by linking to your original bio as well as a post that shows your current rank so you can keep it (Aes Sedai, etc). You'll get automatic approval…

The White Tower The purpose of this post is to be a reference of what the White Tower looks like--every bit of information available from all printed sources. This way we have an on-board, hopefully easily-organized reference. Enjoy! Anything with quotes is a direct quote from one of the main books; however, for simplicity I am not including where I got it because I didn't bother to record it when I pulled the quote. A Note on Discrepancies & "Fixes": Please read the post below this one on the orange and purple text used here. The Central Tower & Square The central portion of the White Tower has forty l…

Tower Law & Customs All of these laws and customs are cannon from the books. Among Aes Sedai, some customs and traditions are as strong as laws. Novices & Accepted Rules Regarding Novices Novices may not leave the Tower grounds unless in the company of an Aes Sedai. Novices must wear all-white dresses, belt pouches, stockings, and, when out-of-doors, cloaks. Novices may not speak to Aes Sedai unless they are told to. Novices must curtsy every time they pass an Aes Sedai. Novices may not touch or use the One Power unless with an Accepted who is teach…

This post shows the format we are asking all character biographies to be in. This is so we can keep information clear and organized among many writers, and anyone can come quickly reference your bio when needed. Please read the reply post below this main one for further guidelines before submitting a biography. Biographies, as well as RP in general, are required to be written in the third-person point of view/ perspective. In other words, no "I" or "you"s that would be found in first-person. Third-person written sentence example: "Jagen embraced the One Power and lifted her hands as she began a weave." A first-person …
