Gates of Tirath Rules

I have written up rules in ages! Is it still apropos to have No Godmod as rule 1? 
Anyhoo, let's give this a go - a nice common sense set to start! Subject to change if situations require it.
1. Treat others with respect
This should go without saying, but please remember to respect each other throughout the roleplay and on the server, and remember that there is another human being on the other side of your screen. Hate speech and harassment of other members will not be tolerated.
2. Communicate with others
This roleplay recognizes that people can get busy and that real life takes priority over the story. It's fine if you need some extra time to come up with a reply, need to take a break from things, or even quit the roleplay all together. All that we ask is that, if possible, to please communicate this clearly with other members.
3. No Posting schedule requirements beyond respecting a cycle between posters. If an extended period of time goes by without a reply, we'll keep on going. I'm fine with a long slow burn on this - considering it's a hefty base that has a lot of room for players to develop and grow the world.
This means that anyone involved in interactions with them is free to skip the reply and continue onwards with the roleplay. Their characters may also be shuffled to the background as off-screen NPCs, though they are able to rejoin the roleplay at any time should the player return. Everyone shall respect the characters of others when this happens and minimize any further interactions or consequences for them. If you’d like your character to be kept up with the story due to any absence – let me know, and I can coordinate a way relevant to the current story and fitting characters’ goals to have some in-story catch-up happen if someone is away with plans to return.
4. Engagement is key
I feel that length of the roleplay post is less important than the ability to interact with it and reply in an easy manner. I'm not a huge stickler for paragraph or word length but I am a firm believer in ensuring that every post provides other roleplayers some dialogue, action, etc for them to bounce off of in their response. Quality over quantity is the general rule of thumb. Leaving a post with no options for anyone to engage is how RPs die sad lonely deaths :C.
5. HAVE FUN~
While I have set up this scenario with some inspired source materials and events, I've created a Lot more to it to provide a full and diverse environment and I'm happy to help develop it together as we play and write together. This is a Sci-Fi setting and to characters that aren't advanced enough, that technology is seen as magic, there are remnants of a technological space-faring society that are left behind from centuries ago, as well as some other technologically advanced cultures and civilizations that have been temporally displaced here. Use your imagination, in respect to all players keep everything within reason and not overpowered, while having fun in our sandbox.

Hey, I know you're new to the site, but just thought I'd mention that on here OOC, Character Sheets, and Lore are typically done as separate threads to help keep things organized and make navigation easier~

Oooh good to know! I wasn't sure if that would come off as a bit much or not. That's useful - I'll split all this up then
.Thank you!

question, what species are there in this world? i dont want to accidentally make a character that wouldn't make sense for this world

So, about the technological items...could my character have a 6 ft long staff that can shorten down to 1 foot? I was going call it a force staff, because when he strikes with it, it unleashes a gravitational force that can knock-back or knock down enemies. It would be paired with a bracer that call the staff back to his hand in case he dropped it or used it as a ranged weapon.

would love some feedback on Kee's updated tools and racial background as an anu-khai if anyone is available, as im slowly updating his sheet to be more in depth

Looking very well done and thought out, imho!

i hope im not stepping over any worldbuilding, thats my biggest concern rn
ETA: also i wanna see if im accidentally metagaming. i try my best in rp, but if someone notices something potentially op, do notify me so i can keep it in mind or change it

You're good -- honestly the core story was fairly limited on races on the planets and didn't get too much into variety, and I wanted to open it up to that and allow for creativity within the setting. So, really, you're doing great!

I'll get the main RP thread and a first post going this weekend - seeing what others are putting together helps with figuring out how to start it. Also, I'm fine with individuals filling in some npcs when needed - my only thoughts there is if someone names one or speaks for an NPC in an interaction, that person is the only one allowed to write that npc moving forward. It's a big world, and sometimes having that little fodder helps fill in the spaces while we work towards getting the characters to a central area and fleshing out more of your character's adventure. Thoughts welcome of course! I haven't forum RP'd in a while so I may be out of date on common practices and courtesies.

im a dnd player too, hahai mostly play wizards, so that should be a fun little clash. regardless, from the looks of things, kee will actually lose out on more if kashim is accidentally in the crossfire of their spells. not that they aim to hurt him specifically, anyway
im excited to see how kashim and kee will interact. they seem like total opposites; i wonder how their world views will affect each other.
RaiAthar
...Whatever
I imagine it'll be a lot of Kashim saying "Kee, give that back, please. Kee, I need that. Kee, where did you put my tools? Kee, stop being bothersome, please. Kee, you are truly a test to my faith, and I will not fail."
I imagine that at some point, Kee's behaviour will catch up to him, and so too will Kashim's idealistic views of people.

it is too early and the walls in my dorm are too thin for you to start being this funny, please
im pretty sure with a well timed catch, kashim is probably strong enough to hold kee in place and stop them from running away, so no problems there.
but yeah, i think with enough time, kashim's good-natured behavior might rub off on kee. maybe they'll start asking for things instead of just taking them for once. but that remains to be seen.

Oh Ehm Gee, I am loving this already X3.
Oh, I'll also get a map drafted up to make this easier to see visually.

Regional overview map up on the lore page! I've not used Inkarnate before today so that was a fun rabbit hole LOL.
RaiAthar

The map looks awesome.
Just curious, where will our characters be meeting up?
I imagining that Kashim volunteers himself on behalf of his tribe to go on a pilgrimage/quest to find out why the temporal distortions within Ryndorra
are getting increasingly unstable. Finds himself in whatever city we'll be staring in.
What are your thoughts?

i might need some help brainstorming for Kee, he currently doesnt have any reason to want to leave the heartwood or tal'korun, especially with the lack of temporal distortions. as far as hes aware, everything is fine and dandy.
RaiAthar
...Whatever
Maybe he stole from the wrong guy or group of people, so now he's on the run?
jokeater
a lazy social delinquent forced to be a busybody
thats a good start, i cant see them wanting to run away far enough from the heartwood for any reason. morgz, any insight? (idk how to tag you, sorry)
EDIT: my first thought which is a little self-centric was that maybe morgaine and kashim had to go through the tarnaal woodlands for some reason, and picked up kee on the way
