There will be a bracketed melee tournament sponsored by Mekan with weapons and Lindens given as prizes, as well as an archery tournament with bow and cash prizes.

To keep up to date on events as well as read the Official notice about the Tournament, please join the Realms of Aledar group.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a roleplay event, do not come wearing modern clothing or using modern weapons. You must also have a CCS meter, provided For FREE in the Port Authority building (first one at the beginning of the dock.)

What are the Realms of Aledar?

Aledar is the name of the world that the realms exist on, the realms refer to the core group of sims (currently just the Isle of Silverleaf) that inhabit only a small portion of the planet. We have decided to call the roleplay Realms of Aledar because already we are close to expanding to our next RP sim, which add a completely new facet to roleplay combat due to the surprises we have in store for that sim.

What is Silverleaf Isle?

Silverleaf Isle is, in fact, a very ancient place. It was home to the wyrmling Jacindra long before even the elves. Over time, it's value as a shipping depot became of interest to the Empire (an organization of mostly humans) who have since colonized a small portion of the island. However, an ancient and dark evil has followed them, taking nest near the heart of the land and attracting unsavory types such as the drow.

What is RP like in Silverleaf?

First of all, we're a high-fantasy theme with steampunk elements. I like to refer to the steampunk in our theme as "Davincipunk" as it is closer to Davinci's inventions and less Victorian. We also have pirate RP as well as support primative blunderbusses and cannons, basicly any flintlock weapon will fit the theme as well as bows/crossbows/ and fantasy/medieval melee weapons. Other than the theme, the RP is casual and consenual as in CoLA. We want to build a community here, and have a place for people to go to when they want some good, old-fashioned, fantasy, steampunk, and pirate RP.

What can I do in Silverleaf?

Well...just about anything. It's freeform RP although we do and will have large scale plots that you can take part in. We also boast an arena combat system as well as factional PvP as well as some truly unique PvP options coming as we expand. Rules are very much like in City of Lost Angels, if your CCS is on, then you are a target. Be warned however, the Imperial Guard polices the town, and the forest is under the watch of the ever vigilant Elven Council and Neko Pride...and let us hope you don't stumble across the Drow ruins...

What Races are allowed?

Official races are as follows: Human, Elf, Drow, Neko, Lycan, Vampire, Halfling, Gnome, Dwarf, Demon, and Orc. Because we currently cannot add expansion races to CCS, certain races use a standard CCS class (Supernatural) while the others remain untouched with their CCS counterparts. You will notice Angels are not included, this is because it implies a deity, we may add Celestials at some point. For now if you are an Angel player you may pick another race and just use the fliptitle built in to your CCS tag.

What weapons do you support?

Most fantasy looking melee types are fine, as are bows/crossbows. We also support Pirate era weapons such as flintlock pistols as well as blunderbusses.

What about clothing?

Clothing must be fantasy in origin. However we do NOT require women to wear gowns or men to wear cloaks all the time. Fashion is a huge part of any RP and we're no different.

What factions can I join?

Currently on the island the following factions are open: Elven Council, Mages Guild, Imperial Guard, The Pride (Nekos), Drow faction, Pirate faction.

Are you hiring for staff?

No, at least, not for any GM position. However, we ARE looking for the following roles to be filled by ACTIVE and GOOD roleplayers. 1. Barkeep 2. Gaurds 3. Town Idiot

I'm interested, but what seperates you from the 11ty billion other roleplay sims?

Let me show you...
