Player Roles

The game has a variety of resources to help you; one of these is the assortment of roles certain members will play around the forum and auxiliary web pages and discussion platforms. Yes, some are staff roles - but not all.

Keep a look out for players with these roles; their titles will show in their profile/by their name, to make it easy for you to identify them.

Architect
The creator of the forum, overseeing all that happens within the forum and its related platforms. Their inbox is always open, but if it's an issue that doesn't require their expertise specifically, we recommend speaking to someone more specialized in what you're needing help with.

Consort / Consult / Consul / Gothi / Optio
General purpose staff members who help the architect to oversee the daily runnings of the forum, taking only the most severe issues up the chain to the architect. General or miscellaneous issues you don't see covered by other staff members should be brought to their attention.

Artist
Responsible for maintaining the visuals of the forum, mostly to do with the theme but with any other graphics that need attention. If you see anything visually on the forum that needs attention, whether it's broken code or unreadable text, the artist is who you need to notify.

Designer / Engineer
Volunteers who contribute ideas to develop original characters, whether in appearance or the character themselves. If you're hunting for advice on a new character, or even one you've already made and simply need to develop further, they will be more than happy to help.

Fates
If a spontaneous event occurs in character, it's devised and executed by these staff members. Responsible for spicing things up for your characters every once in a while. Feel free to ask questions or make requests to one of the fates - but as their name denotes, what will or will not be is entirely up to their whims and the roll of a die.

Shadchan
These volunteers thrive off of getting to know characters to find matches between characters they feel might interact well. Whether it's a love story written for the ages or a rivalry that will rattle the firmaments, these are the matchmakers and tale spinners who simply offer suggestions to players from time to time. If you're looking to spice up your character's story a little, you might find your solution with a shadchan.

Sage / Arbiter
Mediating conflicts and overseeing the use of power are duties of the sages. Whether it's combat or simply an argument, a sage is happy to provide counsel to the participants and make a final call as to the results and what to do. You can seek them out for a variety of issues; combat scenarios, other types of conflict between characters in the game, and even arguments between players OOC. They also provide guidance on the use of runes and their associated powers, providing answers as to what can and can't be done and how the use of these powers can be developed.
