GRAND OPENING


Welcome to Pearls of Persia! After five long months since winning WaRP, the realm is officially open for business. Those new to the realm are encouraged to check out the handy Introductory Guide to get a good grasp of the subforum layout and its rules; there is also a realm discord available for those who prefer offsite chatter (and memes). Joining it is not a requirement for being involved in the realm, but it is handy for quick replies and collabs! Have a question that you just can't find the answer to? Check out our handy Help Desk (a.k.a. Ask the Shah) and ask away!

You may have noticed that there are no main sagas currently open for new players. A few things will be started soon, but in the interim, there's a few things players can do. Creating a character thread in the Codex area is the first step towards being able to participate in main and side sagas. In addition, players are more than welcome (and encouraged) to run their own side sagas and 1x1s! Unsure of what stories to start? Take a look at the History of the Ages thread for sample plotlines. All requests for sample plotlines can be made here. And listed below, we have three upcoming projects for this summer.

ENTERPRISE - the next main saga

There is still so much left of the world to be discovered. "Uncharted territory" is a phrase bandied about too much for the burgeoning Explorer's Guild in Cairo, and their scholarly endeavors to map out the entirety of the Middle East has earned them praise from merchants and nobility alike. Their hard work that does not go unrewarded; an enterprising number of members are tasked with mapping out Woki-Tal and its famed Silk road. It appears to be a fairly simple assignment, but there are those from both the Empire and Woki-Tal who would prefer some things to be left uncharted -- by any means necessary.

Players will not only be shown more exclusive lore and settings for the realm, but they'll also be at the mercy of more light-hearted shenanigans from yours truly. Need I say more?

MYTHS AND LEGENDS- lore expansion

Xšayāršā. Zilramesh. Ananias. Champion.

Who were these famed figures of old, and what were their stories? The next bit of lore to expand the Persia universe will detail in full the following things:
  • Legendary heroes and their glory-filled tales
  • The gods, ancient and current
  • Myths and superstitions

A TURKISH DELIGHT- a sandbox event

One simply doesn't say no to a politician's party. When Governor Canhabibe throws a grand ball at her palatial mansion on the coast of Turkey, colorful characters from all over the Middle East are invited to come. A select few guests are invited to stay the night. The fabulous occasion ends on a high note, but in the morning, there is a surprise waiting on the ballroom floor: the mistress of the home herself, murdered in cold blood. Now the guests become the suspects as a private investigator is called in to find out the truth. Who really killed Governor Canhabibe?

This will be a sandbox event, meaning that players do NOT need to have approved character sheets in order to join. The event will run for roughly a month depending on participation before being closed and put away for the next sandbox to emerge.
