Basic Races

Basic races do not require a Character Creation ticket

Basic races in D&D require minimal knowledge of specific lore to play and are commonly found on the prime material plane. They originate from well-known locations like Toril or Krynn, but can also come from unknown backwaters. Technology levels are limited to those found in Forgotten Realms and must adhere to the rules of D&D. However, there is room for creativity in other areas. These races are easily playable for new or experienced D&D players alike, and do not require an application or notification to staff.

Advanced Races

Advances races require a Character Creation Ticket to be approved by staff.

Advanced races require more lore knowledge and responsibility to play properly. Many have extremely alien cultures that are a big part of the feel of D&D's lore. They need to be played with awareness and respect of their context in the lore, due to the opportunity to enhance immersion. But, due to the potential to spoil that immersion and lore consistency, players are expected to research and know the lore themselves.

Applying for an advanced race will require a brief demonstration of knowledge to minimize jarring lore breaks and assure your character fits into the server's story and vision well. In case of some particularly powerful advanced races, the DM team may require more detail on what you plan to do with the character. If you desire to play a more formidable than the average character, you should focus on providing enjoyable RP and storytelling for people along with that increase in power.

Advanced races may be subject to alignment restrictions at creation, but may deviate naturally over time through the server's alignment mechanics. Exceptions can be discussed in your application with the DM team if you have a different idea, or want to try something unique. Redemption arcs, corruption arcs, or unexpected character twists and turns are welcome!
