Welcome to the beautiful city of Desnind! Built into the great trees of the Makubwa Lori and surrounded by the living tree wall, Desnind is the ancient home of the Sev'ryn. Desnind is known for its peaceful community that supports one another. There is no set government, although most citizens will follow the example of the Oludïbọ Cïkäkkẹn. These 'tree singers' act to maintain the living city, and abide by the statutes gives to them by Moseke. The patron Immortals of Desnind are Moseke and Ymiden.
Please, read this thread carefully. This is an incredibly important resource and, as all Prophets will tell you for any city, reading these posts will give you the best insight into the city that you could ask for. Ignorance as an excuse doesn't really fly on this site, especially when you have all the information right at your fingertips, so please read this before beginning your roleplay within the city, and refer to it should you ever have any niggling questions. If there is something you believe is missing, feel free to fling a local Prophet a PM, as we are constantly updating the information available to players!

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be then me.
All Narrators, Versifiers, Minstrels and Poets are to be respected regardless of whether they are your own local Prophet or not. Every one of them works hard for Standing Trials, so please show them the proper respect for all their hard work. In my experience, this lack of respect often manifests as verbal abuse, and occurs when a player doesn't like what the member of staff has said. I would remind you all that we are volunteers, and we are human, and we have feelings. But most importantly, we are not here to... cramp your style. So don't cramp ours.
2. Respect Each Other.
If I have to explain this one to you... then you really shouldn't be here. However I will remind all players that IC actions do not - and should not - reflect OOC feelings. If an issue does arise, please bring it to a Prophet, who will deal with it appropriately.
3. Read the information available.
If you want to role-play a character in this setting, we expect you to know WHAT setting you're playing in. If we find you playing out a thread with something that doesn't mesh with the city, we will post an intervention explaining what the problem is and will later delete the thread. If you can't be bothered to read the readily available information (both IC and OOC), then this city - and actually this whole site - isn't for you.
4. Ask Questions.
The only stupid question is an unasked one. And what I mean by that is that you'll look like less of a fool if you send us a quick PM and get an answer, rather than have a Prophet have to publicly intervene. You and the Prophets will both be happier people. Use common sense, and come to us for help. It's what we're here for.
5. Last but not Least
Above all, have fun!

It is encouraged that players develop for the city of Desnind. Standing Trials provides limited red tape so that players can create the world along side the staff for a better, more enjoyable experience. There are sections throughout the city where players can post development ideas globally as well as a place in Desnind where people may develop for the city. There are, however, rules for development, though they aren't so restricting.
Expect your developed piece to be reviewed once you submit it to the thread. We do not tear people down here when it comes to their creations, but we must check that those creations align with the genre of the game and the world.
If you have a question about whether something would fit into the city or not, don't be afraid to PM the prophets. We are always here to help.
There are templates provide for you to use. You may use your own if you'd like.
