Alright, I finally found my way here. Here are a few questions:

1. Are there any restrictions on when I should set Flashback threads in (i.e. time it starts, location) other than the fact that my PC should be in the area when it occurs?

2. Question on NPCs: Can I 'create' an NPC (for example, a young healer travelling towards Syliras) to interact with my PC?

3. Can I travel from the Outpost north of Syliras to Syliras itself (the city) in a reasonable number of days, like 20 days? For that matter, for any journey I make, as long as the amount of time taken to travel is reasonable, is it okay?

4. On wild creatures: Is there any page I can visit which tells me what kind of wildlife and plants I can encounter in a certain region, say the Bronze Woods? If not, how am I supposed to introduce wildlife into a thread I make in that location?

5. How do I obtain a gnosis if I haven't already started with one?

1. Your pc has to be alive during the time you flashback too... and you have to rp your pc's age then rather than now.

2. See the NPC page. It explains all and why and how etc. Most stuff has wiki pages including flashbacks.

3. Yes you can. Remember its 30 days by a gallop changing horses from Zeltiva to Sylrias. The outpost is far closer.

4. No wiki pages on every wild animal available, that'd be virtually impossible to do. It's a deciduous forest. Think of it like that and populate it in your mind accordingly. There are monster pages in the wiki. You can use these monsters too so long as they are common and found in the area. Most of their pages will state where they are found.

5. Ask a DS or higher to run a gnosis quest for you. You can apply for a gnosis via the help desk until you hit 50 posts. After 50 posts you are no longer considered a new pc.

Alright, thanks! Just a few clarifications:

2. I didn't quite find what I was looking for in the pages... The NPCs I'm speaking about are 'encountered' NPCs, where for example a Syliras Knights patrol escorts my character to Syliras and leaving, or a healer healing some minor wounds and then leaving. I'm talking about NPCs that won't travel/follow my PC for long, just interacting with him in a brief encounter.

3. Can I assume the maps on the regions to be roughly of scale?

4. I read on the Wiki pages that I have to submit a story on how I obtained the starting gnosis (by perhaps doing something that impressed the God?). So can I do that or do I have to do a gnosis quest run by a DS or higher? Are there any general prerequisites?

2. You need DS permission to use those sorts of NPCs.

3. They really aren't. :)

4. You can do either you like. Some gods mark at birth, but most require a story via the help desk It just depends on the God. No prerequisites.. just talk to either the DS's or the HD.
