Created page with "<div class="toc-page"> __TOC__ Unlike many roleplaying games, Wizards and Warlords does not require you to create a character before you begin playing. New players are encouraged to attend games, try different classes, meet other players, and learn the world before committing to a character. Once you have found a race and class combination that suits your playstyle, you can create a character and begin your journey in the Free City of Tanyth. == Your First Games =..." |

== Mercenaries and Companies == | |||
<div class="hatnote">This section provides a brief overview of Mercenaries and Companies for character creation. For more detailed information, see [[Mercenaries and Companies]].</div> | |||
=== Mercenaries === | |||
All newly created characters begin as a mercenary of Tanyth. | |||
Characters | Being a mercenary is not a class or faction. It simply means your character is an independent adventurer seeking their place within the city. Characters may remain mercenaries for as long as they wish and are not required to join a Company. | ||
=== Companies === | |||
Companies are player-created groups of characters united by a common purpose, story, theme, culture, belief, or goal. | |||
Companies can take many forms, from military bands and religious orders to explorer societies, trade organisations, and groups of like-minded adventurers. | |||
=== Joining a Company === | |||
Characters may only join a Company if invited by that Company's leadership. | |||
If you have already been invited before creating your character, you may indicate which Company you intend to join on your character creation form. Otherwise, your character begins as a mercenary and may join a Company later if invited. | |||
== You're Ready to Play! == | |||
And with that, you're ready to begin your adventures in Wizards and Warlords. | |||
From here, you can explore the [[Races|Race]], [[Classes|Class]], and [[Magic]] pages to learn more about the world and the many character options available to you. | |||
Good luck, and cefrepwelcome to Tanyth. | |||
