✯New Arrival's Guide to Tanelorn✯

➣ Greetings, new citizen! The city of Tanelorn welcomes you!
Whether by fate or by chance, you now find yourself in Tanelorn, the great, traveling nexus of the multiverse! You have been loosed from the confines of your time stream, as a bird lights from its perch, into the vast and wide time and space continuum. And instead of tumbling into the hands of the chaotic streams of the multiverse, to spend eternity cartwheeling into the utter darkness, the gracious Tanelorn has rescued you from such a miserable fate and given you sanctuary here inside her safe walls!

☸ Welcome to the Multiverse!
For many of you, this is your first time outside your own world, or your own universe! This is both a very exciting and scary time for you. You may experiencing headaches or queasiness from being taken out of your timeline without warning, do not worry as these symptoms typically pass within an hour or so. If they persist or worsen, please inform an attendant in the Intake Infirmary, as this may be a sign of a more serious condition.

☄ A Sudden Arrival
As you may notice, you have arrived in Tanelorn with nothing but the items you have with you. The loss of certain valuables is certainly distressing, but worry not: Tanelorn has access to nearly anything you can image. If you fear the absence of shelter and food, rest assured that transitional housing exists for new arrivals as well as those who find adjustment to their new lives difficult. However, if you are missing certain items vital to your continued health, please inform an attendant immediately so that a serviceable alternative or replica can be procured.

♖ Understanding the Laws
Tanelorn has a few very simple rules: no stealing, no deliberately undermining Tanelorn’s mission or operation, no actions that endanger the security of Tanelorn or her citizens, and no violence with the intent to harm. Violations of these laws are met with swift retribution and the punishment is quite severe. These laws are upheld by the ever-vigilant Watcher’s Guild, who are responsible for keeping the peace in the city.

℧ Your Ring
Along with this pamphlet, you should have received a ring. This simple silver band is more than a pretty ornament: it is vital to your life here in Tanelorn. This ring is the means by which you will be able to leave the city and visit the world that Tanelorn is currently stationed by and to travel to worlds the city has visited before. It is also the means by which you return. Please speak with a Wayfarer’s Guild representative for more information.

♔ The Guilds
Tanelorn has no king, queen, regent, emperor or other such monarchy or form of government. The city is supported and maintained by the guilds. The four greatest among these are the swift Wayfarers, the strong Watchers, the brilliant Engineers, and the wise Writers. There are other guilds that fulfill other necessities and niches within the city, such as the Trader’s Guild, the economic backbone of Tanelorn.

✰ Adventure Awaits!
Tanelorn is a ship set sail among the sea of worlds, taking new harbor with the passing of months. Unknown vistas, unexpected creatures, and unforeseen adventure await you here in this city and in the worlds abroad. Travel to the currently docked world is free of charge with the appropriate ring, so never fear about stepping away from the city to explore all that the multiverse has to offer you!
