WELCOME TO WINDSONG!
This is Windsong's Getting Started guide! Please first be sure to read the following before doing anything else:
This forum is invite-only purely to reduce workload on our very small staff (it's me, I'm staff. My lovely friends do help out when needed though and have permissions in case of emergencies!). We are also made up of college-aged adults, so we prefer our members to be older folks for everyone's comfort. The site is officially 16+.
You may click "Apply" up in the nav bar, or you can click this direct link to the application form, and I will get back to you as soon as possible if your form has been approved! You will also receive an invite to our companion Discord server, where most of our chatter and plotting occurs. Again, I'm only one person and I work/am in college, so please be patient.
Now then, once you've done that, please take the time to read the following post in the Information board. It is simply the exposition for the roleplay. There is a Timeline thread, but as of the time of writing, the roleplay has only just begun and thus only Pre-RP events are listed!
After that, you will want to read the articles in the Guides board. These consist of world-building and helpful information to use when creating your character and roleplaying them. The stickied threads at the top are the most important. However, you don't have to commit these to memory! They're there for your perusal. You may also take a look at the High Rank Applications thread and apply to any High Ranks available! This is open to all members regardless of account age. And that's the most important stuff to know regarding the world of Windsong!
To actually join in on the fun once you've registered for an account, all you have to do is create a character. Check the Character Rules & Guidance to see what roles are banned; then, just fill out the template provided. Once you've completed your form, you can link it in the #character-acceptance channel in the Discord and I'll approve it or ask for corrections ASAP! Once your character is accepted, you can start roleplaying right away. Please note that all roleplay occurs on the forum. The Discord server is OOC only.
You can always ask questions in our companion Discord or you can PM me directly.
