Welcome to Telath!
Telath is a forum-based, play-by-post roleplaying experience that takes place primarily in the fictional
Aelyrian Empire. Contributors like you create characters that inhabit this world, writing their stories collaboratively with others as interwoven chapters making up the backdrop of the forum's ever-growing, expanding world.
Getting Started
Create Your Account
Typically, your account name is the name of your character. It may include spaces, hyphens, and apostrophes. If you joined before creating your character and enough time has passed, you can change your account name through 'Account Details', available from the dropdown menu when clicking on your username in the top right. If you have any difficulties, please submit a
Help Desk ticket to request changes to your account name.
Create Your Character
Use the
Character Creator to generate your first character! This will get you started with ideas for your race, starting
Skills and items, and some general questions about your character's background and motivations.
Create Your Character Sheet
Check out
Guide to Character Sheets and then post it in the
Character Sheets forum. This is where you will keep an ongoing record of your character's exploits, gained experience, relationships, items, and anything else of note as you progress through the game.
Introduce Yourself to the Community
Post in our
Welcome Forum and
join the Telath Discord to introduce yourself, ask questions, solicit feedback on your ideas, or just to say hi!
Dive Deeper into the Game
When you feel ready, start checking out our depth of lore contained in our
Wiki. We suggest starting with our
Guides (OOC explanations of game mechanics and concepts) and
Primers (IC knowledge that all characters in game would conceivably know) and then wandering wherever your curiosity may lead!
