The Shardworld

Welcome, Prime or perhaps not-Prime, to the Shardworld. You may be a new player around here learning the ropes, or you may be a veteran coming back to check for some detail. In either case, scroll down to find what you need!

IMPORTANT!
Please don't post replies into this thread to talk about the Shardworld! This is meant to be a purely "guiding" thread that lets players understand the game, it's not intended for discussion.
If you have questions, post in the "Game design & discussion thread" (link's at the bottom of this post), or send me a private message and I'll respond as soon as I can.

Below is an Index of the contents of this thread. Be sure to at least skip over the content.
If you are looking for a specific entry and don't want to scroll, you can use ctrl + f and enter the code in [brackets] in front of the respective entry to find it.

Before reading on, remember this:
The Shardworld's rules apply in addition to the site rules. If there is a clash, the site rules will always overrule the Shardworld's. Ideally this issue shouldn't come up, but if in doubt, you know what to do.
