Realmcrafting for Zinn'Sunn

Realmcrafting Instructions for Zinn'Sunn and Lauryl Provence

Welcome everyone! First and foremost I want everyone to know that ANYONE can submit a new location for Zinn'Sunn. In the next few months or so we want to have ALL the currently listed locations fleshed out and posted; including prices, services offered, training available, and NPCs. Plus, not all the good ideas are taken. Every day people come up with fabulous ideas for new locations or places that their characters need to get training, pick up special gear, do research, or just hang out. Perhaps you visited a new city lately, stopped at a funky little tavern, and can't wait to see its Aelyria version come to life. SUBMIT IT!

First things first, come up with your own location and sit down and think about it for a while. If you need some ideas, check with a GM. Get a really GOOD idea of what you want your location to look like, offer in terms of goods or services, and then click on Realmcraft and New Thread. Title the thread with the title of the new location, then go down below here and copy and past the HTML code for the Location. Fill in the fields completely, minding your spelling and grammar. Then, add in any NPCs by doing the same thing, copying and pasting the NPC template into your location writeup just beneath where it says NPCs. Click on Preview Post... look around, double check, give yourself a lot of time to ruminate on if its perfect, then click on submit thread. The GMs of Aelyria Prime will do the rest.


Here are some things to remember:

• Make the location as unique as possible. Creativity is the key.
• Make the location offer goods and services not found elsewhere.
• Submit each location with NPCs and Suggested Prices/Services.
• Be Neat, with good sentence structure, and corrected spelling.
• Be Complete. Thoroughly detail the details!
• Try to follow the guidelines below.
• Use Color. We love Color in Aelyria Prime! You don't have to stick to my DeepSkyBlue and Lime theme. I know Shorty is a Wheat and Grey person himself.

Also, a couple of rules to live by:

1. Follow Appropriate Templates (Color and Fonts Can Be Changed, But Not Sizes)
2. Fill out Templates Completely!!!!!
3. Credit yourself and others.
4. Use the advanced editing option.
5. Turn off all personal banners when submitting.
6. Locations/NPC Formats are in Quotes here, but shouldn't be in your submissions.
