Sprawled at the mouth of the great Jotun River, lies the city-state Port Thunder. A rugged, chaotic place, this urban mass is not a center for religion, knowledge, or art. The driving purpose of this city is commerce. Vast docks line the coasts, competing for space with shops, taverns, and manufactories. The buildings are mostly of wood, as in the northern style, and they seem to have been placed haphazardly, with no regard to geometry or symmetry.

At any given moment, the vessels of a dozen nations can be seen crowding the harbor. The population is a rowdy, unpolished lot. Port Thunder is home to a wide diversity of beings- humans of all cultures, Dwarves, Orcs...even a few elves. All live in a fragile state of peace, willing to put aside their differences for the common goal of prospering in business.

The low-lying floodplains of Jotun Valley surround the city, and have been tended to by those freeholders who have sown the land since time immemorial. The fields are highly fertile, and the crops of this area feed the entire city, as well as being shipped to the great empires to the south. Beyond the floodplains, the ancient forests begin...gigantic and dark, these woods stretch on for league upon league. Many folks live amongst the trees, logging and hunting, but they move through the brooding shadows as mice would move through a crowded room, mindful of the forest's presence.

Beyond, to east and north, lie the mysterious Godspike Mountains, seldom seen by human eyes. Here, the Dwarves live in their deep dwellings, and work magic with steel and gold. And, to the west, lies the sea...cold and deadly, yet generous in rewarding those who would brave her wrath.

Basic Rules

All rules of Webmaze apply, and take priority over those listed here. This is a no-kill, no-collar room. If you enter anonymously, you should have the courtesy to respond when greeted. The actions of any anonymous persons will be ignored in roleplay. It is considered bad form to privately message a person without getting permission first. OOC conversation is to be kept at a minimum, and should be conducted privately. Please keep your AVs tasteful, and preferably to the theme of the room. No nude or semi-nude AVs. All types of creatures are welcome here, and magic is allowed, but it is limited, please refer to our message board. Slavery is not permitted.

Of course, these rules are flexible. Sneaking in anonymously to privately say hello to a friend isn't going to cause an uproar. Likewise, killings may indeed happen, provided they are part of a scenario which has been agreed upon by all participants. These rules are not etched in stone, they are merely something to consider when entering the room. The main thing is to be aware of the general atmosphere of the room at the time, and act accordingly. Some of these points will be explained in greater depth on our Message Board (in particular, the rule regarding magic).
