1.5.1 Introductory Tour

When a character enters Aetolia for the first time, they will be put upon Slaver's Isle, an island far east of Sapience's mainland. This will begin Aetolia's automated novice introduction.

This introduction is intended to give new players some basic information about Aetolia, as well as providing a bit of a story for them. The introduction consists of four quests and some additional information about guilds and cities.

Note: You do not need to incorporate Slaver's Isle into your character's history in character. It is a setting for many themes that will be found in Sapience, but is not intended to force you to create a character with a specific origin or experience.

A player cannot be inducted into a guild or enter the larger world until he or she has finished the newbie introduction. If a newbie becomes lost, be sure to remind him that he or she can type REMEMBER for a reminder, or have their intro restarted by one of the Gods if necessary.
