Where can my character live?
Pretty much wherever you want. There are many villages with little cottages, just waiting to be filled with life and laughter, there are forests, wide and deep, to hide many kinds of creatures, there's the castle, if you happen to become a servant there or perhaps even Caspian's personal guest. Stranger things have happened.

What about technology?
Well. Anything you've brought, be it iPod, flashlight or an electric car is going to work, but only until you run out of fuel, battery, energy, whatever. Then you're shit out of luck. As for any cellphone or other communication device, feel free to throw it at people to get a message across, but your services don't reach here.

What currency do people use?
Given how divided Narnia currently is, this is hard to say. The most consistent method is probably trading goods, especially between the different fractions. But there is also a more modern system that uses currencies like coins, gems and the like, especially when trading with other countries. Basically, just get people to take what you have in exchange for getting what you want.

What is there to eat?
Narnia is a beautiful and wild world. There are many trees and plants which grow fruits and vegetables. Lakes, streams and rivers to go fishing in, and villages and creatures to trade with for food and other goods. You can also hunt the wildlife, but be warned. While killing the savage, wild creatures of Narnia is generally accepted, killing Narnians is not, amongst the Narnians themselves. You hunt at your own risk.

What about my Character's things?
When you arrive, you will have whatever you carried at the time with you. And a book. A book with endless pages, a book that shows pictures that move, a book that speaks in many voices and - last but not least - a book that can be read and written into.

My character has a pet/Daemon/dragon/etc. Can they bring them?
This is something of a case by case. In most cases, your character is welcome to bring a pet with them, so long as that pet is not a creature sentient enough to be applied for. For example, Hiccup's dragon, Toothless, can not be brought with him. However, a character such as Zorro's horse, Tornado, or your character's loyal canine companion, is welcome to be brought along. If you are still not sure whether your character's pet can be brought or not, you can contact the mods.

What about Daemons?
Daemons are a special case. Because a Daemon is the other half of a person's soul, they are considered a part of their human, not a secondary character. When apping a character with a Daemon, it is important to be sure you cover both their personalities, as well as provide samples that prove you are capable of playing both halves of the pair.

What is this Journal my characters have arrived with?

How did I get this book?
There are two options for your character. Either they have been pulled from whatever world they come from to Narnia, or they have lived in Narnia already, whether as an original or a canon character. With either option, the character suddenly finds a book - a journal if you will - in their possession.

Someone has been godmodding me/making me uncomfortable. What do I do about it?
Contact the mods and explain the situation to us. We will act as mediators and help to work it out. This is a game after all. The goal is to have fun!

What happens if I die?
Character deaths are explained over in this post

What sort of characters can I bring?
Beyond the Wardrobe is a very open-minded musebox! Characters from different canons, Narnia is made for this. World hopping is pretty much how it came to be what it was in the first place. Any canon is welcome, any character is welcome, but be prepared to adjust them somewhat if they are very powerful. We accept Canon characters and Canon AUs (only one AU per character is allowed in the game). We also accept Narnia characters, Narnian Original characters, and Original characters!

I have some criticism/suggestions/etc
We'd love to hear it! Beyond the Wardrobe has it's very own HMD for the game and it's mods.

My character is a god/has super powers/is better than yours...
Please be aware that in order to make Narnia a player friendly RP, the mods may ask you to limit or tone down your characters abilities. This is ultimately up to the mods, and while we are willing to work with you, mods will have the final say on just how powerful your character can be allowed to be.

This musebox sounds awesome! How do I join?
