[Prime] - Storyline - The Chronicles of Norallen - Webstaff on 12/06/2023

The Chronicles of Norallen is a slow, sporadic storyline about a woman looking for her missing brother. This storyline will take place all over the Globe and will consist of Vignettes, Lore Releases, and In-Game RP Sessions. The tale started at the 2023 Kindred Games with Eldrianne Thystledown searching for her missing brother, Norallen.

As the storyline unfolds, I will update the Wiki Storyline Category and I will update the pinned posts on Discord. When I don't announce, I will be sure to add calendar items, but they will be purposefully vague. They will only say "Chronicles of Norallen Event" and if it is a festival, then I will be sure to mention here that "something" may happen.
