Final analysis (because I'm procrastinating):

The Drea rainforest, Moran, Colchetta, and the Chus-Cande island are on or near the same continent of Witherings, but the tribes have never met.

What the Colchettans call the River Oros, the Madakam call the River Ti-ain.

The mountains of the Four Tribes of the Wind stand between the jungles of Witherings and the Rune Desert.

The Ruins of Kimberton and the ruins visited by the Dryads are one and the same.

Seven years ago there was a great worldwide storm, more devastating for some than for others.

Nisa, Cyrus and Moria all speak English
Nisa and Moria speak Spanish
Cyrus and Moria speak Zulu and Arabic
Matin, Rosella and Moria speak "Common" (which for our purposes I think should be Cantran)
Therefore, Ila (and Ooko, when/if Xistina returns) is the only character that Moria can't translate for.

The gods Casper, Lutok and Ma-Ruk all have claim over being the Creator.

Everyone generally seems to agree that the Ruse are destructive to society in defense of Nature and are harbingers of disaster.

Edit: Still coming along. I have a small part finished, and I have a terrible habit of editing as I write. Hopefully in the next few days the first post (the hardest one of all!) will be up.

Edit 2: Halfway done, I think.

First post is still just a worldbuildy thing -- I'm still working on the actual first post of the RP. I thought it best to at least give you guys something. XD

The actual actual first post should be ... uh ... soon! That means anyone who needs to edit a CS or make one DO IT NOW. ;)

I've really enjoyed what you've written so far! It's great to see things come together.

@VoiD
I can't speak for Mokley, but given that we've had a few drop-outs, there's probably room for you!

@XecutionerRex Looks ok so far -- I know we discussed this character through PM, looking forward to the rest of his story. :)

@Vesuvius00 Excellent stuff, should help out a lot with the worldbuild!

To everyone, I am ACTUALLY working on this post. Truly. I mean it. XD I hope you all don't mind, there are plans for a round or two of individual one-on-one with me in your own separate tribes, go through a bit of your character's day before they're dropped in together. I also plan to take control of any and all NPCs you've created, especially the important Shamans and Chiefs -- let me know if there are any objections and I'll back off of any particular characters that you'd rather play yourself.

@Vesuvius00, gimme a name and age for Nisa's brother? :)

@Fairess When Rosella is examining maps and writings at the beginning of the day, where exactly is she? Her house? A guild hall of some kind? Might a stranger walk in on her?

@Incanus Why does Matin have no family whatsoever? What happened to his parents? Did he have any siblings?

@XecutionerRex Done yet? ;)

@VoiD Still jumping in?

Yes I've rewritten the first post a bajillion times. No I'm not whining. XD

@Mokley He's 8 years older than Nisa, but only looks about five or so older than her. He'd be 28 at the beginning of the story. As for his name, Nisa just calls him 'brother' in Chus-Cande, but his full name is Sanjo Sari.

@Mokley
That gets a two-fold answer! Each guild typically has a private library/chamber (original maps and journals as you can imagine, are worth a fortune, so guilds only allow the examination of such items by church officials, government councilmen, other guilds wanting to trade info, or anyone with enough dough). Even regular guild members typically aren't allowed access without permission. So basically, only guild members such as the guild leader and other 'senior' staff can come and go there freely.

Conversely, public libraries like the one in Keithon hold many copies of maps and journals submitted by all manner of guilds. Because of this universal hub, it is also a valuable resource of study for Rosella.

So, either is an option, depending on how you wish a person to approach her. The first option would require a senior guild member and the latter could be anyone.

@VoiD
This was 5 days ago, so I believe your answer is that Mokley is accepting CS's, but you may have to wait after things have started to join the RP. Mokley has been in the process of putting everyone's lore together, so I assume the faster you get in a CS, and the easier it fits into what Mokley has put together so far, the sooner you will be accepted.

Finally, finally, finally posted!

I encourage everyone to read every section for clues about what's going on. I tried to include at least a few overlaps throughout.

Each section ended up being written in a slightly different way, too, which kind of just happened, depending on the focus of info that was given in each CS. Moria's section, especially, is mostly just omens. Apologies for that being so short -- I was trying and failing to get across the fact that it's really up to Moria what to do about what may or may not be happening. It should be less clear to the rest of the village that anything is really wrong at all.

Those characters who have powers of insight might glimpse what's happening elsewhere in the world.

Since this is Advanced forum, I trust you to just go with whatever you're gonna do. For everyone, your entire village/city/etc is at your disposal for now. Do with it what you will.

Also, feel free to interrupt the NPCs or sabotage what's going on, if that's what your character would do. There is nothing I expect anyone to do. Just go with your bad self. I'll follow your lead. Soon you all will be brought together regardless what you do. ;)

Yes! Finally, I feel like I've been waiting on this forever!

@Mokley I hate to have to point this out though, but you accidentally wrote Nisa instead of Nina throughout the section. It's not a big deal, but you might want to fix that.

I can't wait to get my first post up! This is gonna be fun~!

@Awkward Afro yay thanks! There's no posting order. Once it's logical to do so, you guys will be free to post as much as you want between mod posts.
