You do not need to read every lore document before joining. Start with the essentials and branch out from there.

1. Read the Rule Book.
2. Read the Account Registration guide and create your player account.
3. Choose the type of character you want to play.
4. Read the species, culture, nation, and Magic Rules that apply to that character.
5. Create and submit your character.
6. Join us on Discord for plotting, questions, and OOC conversation.

If you are unsure where to begin, ask. Aereth is a large world, but nobody expects a new player to memorize it before writing their first scene.
