[edit] Setting

[edit] foip Information

Whilst the background to the setting is given in the players guide and an in-character almenac, players are actively encouraged by Profound Descisions not to reveal information not publically available via these sources. This information is not 'secret' but as a large part of the game revolves around concepts of discovery giving away this information out-of-character can spoil the game for other players. This is commonly refered to as foip information (or Find Out In Play - indicating that player characters should seek out the information in-game rather than their players asking out-of-character for the information). As such if editing this page please do not reveal information not available in either the Players Guide or the Almenac
