TL;DR: This is a place to showcase your custom AoW4 characters by responding to prompts. Follow the rules and have fun!
Off in a lesser discussed area of Magehaven lies what is only known as "The Lounge." Here is a place that connects very far off realms where not only can the ascended speak to each other in safety from all harm, but so too can all sorts of leaders still fighting for the right to ascend, and even those whose realms have not yet been affected by the great conflict tearing apart the fourth age. Traditionally, The Lounge has been a place for rulers of all sorts, ascended and otherwise, to get to know each other on a more casual level and engage in some ice breakers, whether they are Sha'Drai, Covenant, or unaligned.
Welcome to The Lounge! I have either one or two chapters remaining for my AAR at the time of writing (may split it up), but there are so many characters I would love to share with everyone, AoW4 is so incredibly rich in its ability to create engaging characters and factions! Sadly, I have way more characters than I would likely ever play, let alone write a multichapter AAR about. I don't doubt many of you are the same way, and no doubt for many a multichapter AAR can be quite intimidating. The Lounge was an idea for people to be able to respond to various prompts as one of their leaders in AoW4, be it more political or more casual. Responses can be fairly short or fairly long, as the poster is inclined. I hope it will allow more people to engage in storytelling with their characters, particularly those that would not otherwise make it into its own AAR.
A few rules and guidelines:
-A picture of your ruler with the tooltip highlighting your faction's attributes is recommended, but not required.
-To access pictures of your character, you may either use the print screen function on your computer and paste the image, or attach the file from your screenshot folder.
-No more than one prompt per page (subject to change), but if there has not been a prompt change then feel free to reply to the prompt on the previous page.
-If people are enjoying a prompt, there is no requirement to change it at any given page. Do respect it if someone decides to do so.
-You can reply to a prompt, then post a new one on the same post if there is no prompt yet posted on your page (if you are so inclined)
-Prompts may be presented out of character or in character, as the writAAR is so inclined.
-Obviously all forum rules apply: keep subjects and responses in line with all forum rules and be prudent in general with what is appropriate.
-One character's response per post
-You are encouraged to RP with various characters, but this is not a requirement
-Your character may either respond to a previous character's response, or may reply to the prompt directly. Characters may continue to reply to each other until the prompt changes.
-Characters are unable to hurt each other in Magehaven, but may exchange threats regarding if they meet in a realm if it is in character to do so.
-All RP is to remain directed at characters by other characters, not the authors. Be respectful to your fellow writAARs. This goes hand in hand with respecting forum rules.
-These rules (except those set by Paradox ofc) are subject to change as needed, they will be updated and/or added here when they take effect.
-Normally a writAAR must wait one week before double posting. I will post the first prompt and response as an example.
-Feel free to include stories from your leader's "past" (previous games and/or lore), but additional screenshots are appreciated (again, not required) if they would contribute to context.
