Hello and welcome to the World of Dheynor! If you're new to this site, this guide aims at making you familiar with every aspect of the board. Of course, if you still have any questions, please feel free to post in the Questions/Suggestions/Complaints board.
________________________________________
What are we?
The World of Dheynor is a play-by-post medieval fantasy roleplaying game centered around the sub-continent of Dheynor. If you want specific information on how this works, please, feel free to create a new thread here.
________________________________________
What should you know before you register?
I would greatly recommend that you read our Rules and our Plot before you join. Both of these should give you an idea about whether or not you'd like to join the plot. Of course, if you have a specific question about any rule or any part of the plot, please feel free to ask.
Another possible thing you can do is to perhaps chat in our chat-box (found above, please click on 'chat box' ) - read a few character applications - read a few roleplay threads - read a little in out-of-character boards and decide whether you like the feel of this site and community.
________________________________________
What should you do before making a character?
The first thing you should do is to read every thread in our Basic Information board (the threads in the Encyclopedia and Roleplaying Information board are intended to be optional) - and then also glance at our character guide, which should answer a lot of questions and give you some ideas. Moreover, you can check out our character requests to see if any characters there seem interesting to you.
Then, please register with a new account. The username is up to you, you can change the display name to be the name of your character later.
Then, go to this board, and use the character application form (though this is not mandatory - you are free to change it around, as long as you retain the information present in it) - to make a new thread in the character applications board.
Its okay to post a Work-In-Progress thread, but please make sure that you mark it very clearly as such, and also post again once you're done.
________________________________________
After posting your character...
After posting your character, please wait for the admins to read and accept the application. We generally try to do these as fast as possible (between 12 to 24 hours) - in the meantime, do feel free to post in our OOC areas (maybe introduce yourself?) and chat in the c-box.
If your thread has been lying for over 48 hours with no indication that we have seen it (no corrections posted, no acceptance) - please feel free to PM us (you may PM us on 'admin' and 'alyna' - we are the two people in charge of this) to remind us.
We may have some tweaks you need to do to fit your character into the setting, so we request you not to roleplay before you are accepted.
Once your character has been accepted, the storyteller account will start off its story. This is a good time to reply to some claims.
________________________________________
I've been accepted! Now what?
Well, roleplaying, of course! We encourage all new members to do the following things, though they are of course all optional:
- Put up a plotting page. It helps everyone to have a quick glance of your new character and to know if we can develop some plots with them.
- Start a new thread. Posting it in our open thread listing always helps.
- Look into joining some our scenarios. Those are a great way to develop your character!
- Join someone else's open thread. Who knows what surprises await you?
- Post in our RP request forum. We will personally ensure you find some threads.
- Join into some out-of-character discussions. And just have fun.

I'm so confused! Where can I get some help?
If you're a new member, chances at that you were PMed by our mentor. Ask them for help, or feel free to reach out to any of the admin by PM or just in the cbox.
