-== Your name ==
- [[HELP Scroll]] - 4.1 Names
- In the realm of Aetolia, we encourage you to put some thought into your
- name, and avoid the embarrassment that comes later when your peers have
- a good giggle at your expense. We realize sometimes it's hard to think
- of a good name, so we have written the following as a simple guide!
- Good Names
- --------------------
-  - Good names are those that you've created on your own. Unique
-    names that you've never seen before anywhere else.
- Acceptable Names
- --------------------
-  - Acceptable names are those that you may have heard in real
-    life. Names such as Susan, Henry and so on.
- Unacceptable Names
- --------------------
-  - Those names that we ask you to avoid are ones you may find in
-    any historical context, or ones you will find in a book or
-    anime. Other unacceptable names are those that are made of
-    compound words, such as 'Evilbloodsucker'.
-  - In addition, names that are cursewords, racial slurs or
-    otherwise offensive names. Names that are completely
-    unpronounceable such as 'Xqtzrl' will also result in you being
-    requested to change your name.
- Whilst we realize that sometimes poor names will get through, this is
- not an acceptable reason for refusing to change your name. If you are
- asked to by a guide, Celani or Divine, it is expected that you will do
- so.
- Choosing an imaginative and acceptable name will greatly increase your
- experiences within the realm, and you will find your peers will have
- much more time for you.
- If, after reading this, you wish to change your name, HELP NAMECHANGE
- will explain the way in which to do it.
-== Your Race ==
-[[Races]] are crucial to consider for a good Roleplay experience in Aetolia, in addition to providing a handful of combat bonuses. Bare in mind that you are free to [[Reincarnate]] frequently as a true novice (Levels 1 to 10) so you can learn more before making this decision with finality. Additionally, all players get 1 free reincarnate after level 10 and more reincarnations can be purchased as artifacts.
-'''Unlike other Iron Realms Entertainment games, race does not dictate stats.'''
-== Your statpack ==
-[[Stats]] are more important for combat than Roleplay; it's never bad practice to play your statpack (Intelligent Atavians should be well-educated while Resilient could be rather dim) but not required.
-== Tutorial Island ==
-Dubbed [[Slaver's Isle]], this is where all novices usually should start off. It will gift participants some minor curatives, gold, and a [[robe|clothing]]. Also, you can freely choose a city and guild from the tutorial while doing so outside of it may be a slightly more arduous task.
-== Your Guild/House ==
-Guilds are where you get your [[Class]], the three [[Skillsets]] which contain combat, utility and flavor skills of all sorts. Additionally, many guilds may grow to be like a second family, so this choice is important to your enjoyment of the game as a whole. Again, there is a lot of room to change as you're starting out. Changing guilds, even from one side of the Living/Undead conflict, is generally acceptable early on. Later, there will be lesson loss from dropping class, as much as 50% of class-skill lessons after [[gaining class]].
-Houses are similar, but all cater to non-Bloodborn vampires primarily. Non-vampire members in houses is uncommon in respectable houses. Bloodborn vampires are a guild, but are frequently members of houses as well.
-== Your City ==
-Your City is more likely than not the one your guild is attached to. If you're uncertain, you can use the command:
- GNT Which city should I join?
-after picking a guild. This will alert your guildmembers, if any of them are present, to your question. If no one is available to respond, any city available to pick will suffice.
-However, here's a nice table for the Darkie side of the game:
- Spinesreach:
-  Atabahi
-  Syssin
-  Cabalists
-  Sciomancers
- Bloodloch:
-  All vampire houses
-  Indorani
-  Teradrim
-  Infernals
