Human

Only human races live on the continent of Essealas.

Arcovia is a humans-only role-play sim. Non-human characters are not allowed. Magic does not actually exist here though many cultures believe in magic, supernatural creatures, superstitions and folk lore.

Appearance

• Unusual eye color and hair color are acceptable -- as long as it can not be defined as bright, neon, sparkly, or glowing.
• Slightly pointed ears are a recessive trait that is acceptable. Anything larger then "hobbit" ears is not acceptable.
• Players are expected to dress in reasonably medieval attire. The sim is set to the Earth equivalent of 1000 to 1300. It is acceptable for fashion to be as early as the 700s or as late as the 1500s.
• Some "fantasy armor" is acceptable as long as it can reasonably be used in combat.

We want everyone to have fun with their toons and playing dress-up -- but this is a low fantasy sim so keep it reasonable. Aim for elegant and authentic and avoid outrageous and weird.

Slaves

Essealas is set in a medieval world that approximates Earth's High Middle Ages of the 11ths to 12th century. Slavery in some form or another exists within all of the city-states and has not to been outlawed, or even questioned. Rights and privilege belong to citizens, not Foundlings, and certainly not slaves, serfs, or indentured servants.

You are welcome to play a slave, but do so with the full understanding that this sim is designed for political role-play, and your role as a slave may be of little interest to other player characters.
