The Town Crier / Map Progress
Last post by mythus - Jul 12, 2026, 12:22 PMGreetings,Currently the only location that has a page in the wiki is the Kingdom of Auphera, because that is the only area of the map that I had completed. I've been working on the map however to complete more of it so that the other areas can have detailed information pages in the wiki, which will of course be useful for post roleplaying in those areas. I have now completed the Austerlands and Neurosthenia areas.

Kingdom of Auphera / Information Regarding the King...
Last post by mythus - Jul 10, 2026, 01:14 PMThe Kingdom of Auphera occupies the southwestern reaches of the Continent of Chalcephera. It is the largest and most politically prominent kingdom on the continent. It is a nation of warm coastlines, ancient history, and a deeply complicated relationship with magic that has shaped everything from its government to its state religion.
The detailed information page can be found here: Kingdom of Auphera

By being a member here you agree to follow these rules. If you find that for any reason you cannot follow these rules then you are encouraged to cancel your membership with our understanding. If you wish to ask questions about these rules you may, however if you wish to challenge these rules you should do so via a PM message to the site administrator, mythus, and not by making a public post.
1. Liability
A. We will not guarantee the accuracy, validity, integrity or security status of any content on this website, and will accept no liability from any issues that may result from it. We do not scan all hosted files for viruses.
B. User posted content is out of our control unless we have known about the presence of it for at least one full week.
2. Registration and Guest Visitation
A. As a guest, you are free to visit any publicly open portion of this site and to leave feedback concerning this site. You are also free to bookmark this site and any public post or thread within this site. You are not free to hotlink to any image to host on your own site or some third party site or forum. You are free to take or use any material within this site elsewhere as while this site is intellectual property protected under US copyright law, the material is licensed under the Open Publication License, all that is required is that you give proper credit. You are not free to spam this site with advertisements, or to join this site only for the purpose of advertisement.
B. Registration is a requirement for participation on this forum website. Registration is and shall always remain free of charge. You are free to cancel or request for cancellation your membership to this site at any time.
3. Your User Account
A. You are free to use any username that does not contain any swear words, violate any copyright laws, or advertise any product or site. Symbols, numbers, underscores, and white spaces are allowed. We also ask that you refrain from using any names found within the Legends of Nor'Ova wiki or the names of site staff or their titles.
B. You may choose to use an on site avatar or upload your own. Your avatar must be tasteful. No pornographic, overly gory images are allowed. No images that are advertisements are allowed as well. Avatar size is 150px wide by 200 px tall.
C. You may use a signature if you so desire. This signature can be a graphic, a link, a quote, or whatever as long as it (a) does not violate US or global copyright laws, (b) is tasteful - not overly gory and not containing pornography, and isn't so large that it breaks the site. We have a very relaxed size setting, please do not get carried away with it so that we have to restrict it. You may also link to your site and even provide a small comment about your site in your signature as long as it isn't a pornography or erotic site or a site that violates US or international laws (such as warez sites). You are encouraged to provide links to your character profiles in your signature.
D. Any information you make available about yourself in your member profile, posts, or any part of the site, you do so at your own risk.
4. General Forum Use
A. Due to this being a forum site, the bulk of all communication and activity on this website happens within the forums. The forums are organized via categories. You should make sure that what ever you post fits in the category and the forum itself. It would not be good to go posting about your aunt's wedding in a RP forum or making an RP post in the site announcements forum. If you make a mistake and post in the wrong forum please report your post so that we can get it moved for you.
B. Participation upon these forums is free for all registered members. Guests may not participate on these forums but may read any publicly visible forum.
C. All information, topics, and discussions that take place on these forums are considered the intellectual property of their authors.
D. All posters must remain at all times respectful to one another. There shall be no flaming, belittling, name calling, or statements of hate allowed on this site. This rule is relaxed in RP in character posts.
E. Posting of pornographic images or links to sites containing such images is prohibited.
F. Posting for the purpose of advertising is prohibited.
G. No site member may at any time take on the role of site staff or moderator if that is not their role. This means, leave the moderating to those whose jobs it is to moderate. If you spot a problem in a thread that needs attention, please use the report function.
H. Just as all member moderation is done in private, so shall be any discussion regarding member moderation. Do not make any posts questioning the actions of a moderator or site staff. These things are best done in private through the use of the PM system. If you have a problem with a site staff you may address it with someone higher in the chain of command through a PM.
I. In the end a moderator's decision must be respected. The site administrator, mythus, decision is always to be regarded as the final word. This site is not a democracy. While the site staff will do what they can within reason to accommodate the members, there is no way to please everyone.
5. Rules of Role Play
A. The Legends of Nor'Ova Forum RP is a free-form format, post-to-play, forum based RPG. As of such, you have a large amount of creative freedom. There are no stat systems in use here. You are allowed to and encouraged to create your own stories within the setting here, and every thread that is active and not locked by the site staff is considered open to whoever want to participate in that thread.
B. In order to participate in the forum role play you must first make and complete a character profile. These profiles may be edited at any time. While not required, it is a good idea to link your character profile post to your signature. This would make it easy to find your character profile. If you would like help with this, please ask.
C. All general forum rules and site rules apply. This includes respecting each other, no pornography, no advertising, and so on. RP posts done in character may contain questionable subject matter and disturbing written descriptions, however any sexual action should be "fade to black". While characters do not have to respect each other, members do - so in character posts can contain things that may offend. As long as this is not taken out of character it is allowed. We want you to be able to post in character here.
D. Players must remember that all in character posts are part of the game, and anything done against their characters is not to be taken out of context. Please, keep real life drama out of it.
E. No Metagaming. Metagaming is the purposeful use of player knowledge as character knowledge in a way that unfairly benefits your character. Accidental metagaming is hard to avoid, but purposeful metagaming will not be tolerated.
F. No God-Modding: God-Modding is making or playing your character as if your character is a god. This ruins the fun for everyone. Gods should only be played by site staff or as a NPC for story effect only.
G. No God Characters: You cannot have a god character. All characters must be failable, imperfect, and able to die or make mistakes. Gods should only be played by site staff or as a NPC for story effect only.
H. Unless asked to or given permission to by another player or site staff, no autoing another player's character. Autoing is doing actions, no matter how simple, for another character that is not your own character. Autoing is typically only allowed if the other player has posted permission for their character to be autoed or if the other player has not posted within the time frame given for the RP thread that character is in, or after 5 days of no posting, which ever comes first.
I. It is allowed to simply skip (not wait on) the next character to post in order to keep the story moving, however, you should strive to include the other players. One good rule to follow is to give 3 days time before skipping them.
J. All playable characters are able to be killed. You should understand this. If you play a character, your character can be killed and/or harmed. It is highly possible that your characters will die for one reason or another, and if a situation happens that should have killed your character but you cheated it, you could face banishment and still have your character killed.
K. All players should work together when planning and engaging in combat with one another. Please do not depend upon the site staff or moderator team to handle for you if your hit landed or what the hid did to your character. Work it out among yourselves, keep it fair, and keep it real. Remember, this is free form so just figure out how to describe the combat, no stats please.
L. Generally speaking, you can only have one active thread per character at the same time. Time is a subjective thing however, as this does not apply to different times. What this means is that your character could only be active in one thread during a certain time span. You could, however, have that same character involved in another thread as long as that thread is farther in the past from your current thread by at least one game time month. Should you desire to do a history, flashback, or in the past thread - you must date both of your threads so that the players can see well which story is active in the current game time, You must also label your thread using something similar to [Flashback] Thread Title, so that it is made aware that your thread is not in the present time. Under no circumstances can your character be involved in two active threads during the same time frame, and for the sake of lore you cannot have a future event thread either.
M. Above all, have fun! That is what we are here to do after all. Don't worry so much about the minor details, just enjoy role playing with each other! Don't worry so much if you accidentally mess up. We are understanding people and won't bite your head off. If you are a repeat offender or we find that you are purposefully causing disruption, that is when we will come down hard. Otherwise, if you mess up you may get a PM from the staff letting you know and seeing how we can work with you to fix any issues or misunderstandings. And as always, if you have any questions, please ask.
6. Use of the Personal Messaging System (PM)
A. For those unfamiliar with either term, it is basically a site wide email-like system for the exchange of personal topics between members and staff.
B. Being a personal message there is no direct moderation involved. However if needed, you can inform the staff about any offending personal messages and report them if needed.
C. Personal Messages should remain respectful at all times. They should not be started to, or contain pornographic images, links to sites containing pornographic images, hate, malware, illegal content, and the like. Also do not use the personal message system to spam or advertise to other members. Misuse of the personal message system can result in banishment. You can send a link about a site to another member through a PM only if that other member is OK with it. You should always seek their permission first.
7. Site Contributing
A. As a member of Legends of Nor'Ova, you are welcomed and encouraged to contribute material for the site. However you should also be aware that at the digression of the site administrator your contributions may be unapproved and/or altered.
1. Liability
A. We will not guarantee the accuracy, validity, integrity or security status of any content on this website, and will accept no liability from any issues that may result from it. We do not scan all hosted files for viruses.
B. User posted content is out of our control unless we have known about the presence of it for at least one full week.
