"To King Arthur; Sovereign of 'Shaman', Classified World 207659; Acknowledged Representative.
This message is sent in confirmation of the Agreement between the Council of Originals and the People of Shaman. Please retain this message as it may be used to provide evidence in court.
The Council of Originals (henceforth referred to as 'the Council') made the decision to intervene on the behalf of the People of Shaman (henceforth referred to as 'the People') when it became clear that the People were endangered by the presence of three original fairies. The three fairies in question are: Mallos, Deity of Spain, International Ambassador of the Council of Originals; Gwythr, Deity of Italy, Chairman of the Council of Originals (suspended pending enquiry) and High Judge of the Star Chamber (suspended pending enquiry); and Aura, Deity of England. The People came under threat when Gwythr and Aura began a campaign against one another and drafted residents into their opposing causes.
The Council's solution was to end the civil war and impose twenty years in relative time of peace. Gwythr and Aura were reduced to zygotes and destined to be reborn with no memory or knowledge of who they really were, raised by the People, for the People. When they reach the age of twenty, the People will be asked to decide which one they prefer to be installed as God of Shaman. Mallos was stripped of his magic and left on Shaman to ensure the balance was kept and to allow a form of contact between King Arthur, Sovereign of Shaman, and Tsi, Deity of China, Acting Chairman of the Council of Originals.
If Gwythr and Aura attempt to resume warfare before the twenty year period is up, the Council urges King Arthur to use Mallos to contact Tsi immediately.
Good luck.
Khasekhemwy, Deity of Palestine, Official Scribe of the Council of Originals."

This is an interactive literary-based roleplaying game (RPG) meaning that you create a character and then write "posts" for that character. In your posts, you may describe what your character
looks like, where they are and what they're thinking, feeling, sensing and doing. Other people will reply to your posts with characters of their own, enabling you to interact with
writers from all over the world.
On this game, you can write in the character of fairies (magical people) and their familiars (a part of your fairy's soul
in the form of an animal, which can communicate telepathically with your fairy). If that doesn't appeal to you, why don't you check out our sister sites,
a collection of affiliates which allow you to play in the character of humans, horses, wolves, dogs, dragons and much more.
Shaman is a fantasy humanoid literary roleplaying game which welcomes players of all ages, abilities and experience. Based on a new world far from human civilisation
designed to safe-guard the magical folk against human persecution, the land of Shaman is, for some, a haven. Fairies, faeries, faes, sprites, pixies, witches, shamans,
elves, mages and prophets are all names that humans gave to a species which is one and the same: us. Fairies. People, just like they are, except that they can't see that.
But Shaman is not always the sanctuary it was intended to be. Faced with political corruption, rising empires, conflicting deities, maniacal dictators
and quests for magic, the "Fair Folk" sometimes have a hard time justifying their name.
 Meet BJ. BJ knows almost everything there is to know about Shaman, and he's more than willing to share his knowledge with other players - old or new!

This is a "free for all" board which anyone (member or not) can post any character in. You can try out your character idea there and interact with existing characters on the game to see if Shaman suits you.
