Hi guys, I was looking around (I'm new here)and haven't found anything about the shard's lore. Where are we? What is the history? I was just trying to locate myself in the RP ???
Shard lore, wow, where to even begin! It has grown and grown over the years with many things happening and being added! Our lore is a mix of Sylvan world lore and personal RP's all blended together into a fantastically rich history and world.
There's the history of various races...
This can be found within in-game written books by players.
This can also be found in part here:

And there's even more!
There's just so much I hardly know where to begin! If you want to fit into our lore, just jump right in and start. I'm pretty sure there's room for you ;) I, the staff, and various players can help you learn parts of the histories your interested in that might tie in with your own lore.
To get at least a small taste of what's out there in terms of lore check this section of the forums:
