@Dead Cruiser I'm still here, working on finishing the first draft of my character. Sorry for not replying earlier, life had me a lot more distracted than usual so I have barely been online the past week. Things are calming down though, and it should't be a problem in the future.

As promised, I came up with a few more questions, I hope you don't mind. They are all questions concerning the various mentions of Gods in the Glossary,
1. Am I correct in my understanding that the Old Gods, the Dead Gods, and the Dark Gods of the North are three separate groups of mystical beings, and that all three walked the earth in the Age of Myths, at least according to lore and legends available at the time of the start?
2. Am I also correct in my understanding that the Dead Gods were the worst of the lot, the Dark Gods slightly less malicious, and the Old Gods were the good guys, or at least not the evil guys(yes there is technically a difference between being good and just being "not evil", being not evil doesn't stop them from being neutral, indifferent towards mankind, or something of the kind)?
3. In the glossary, it says that the individual identities of the Old Gods has been forgotten, and that the worship of these has be replaced in all parts of the known world. Is it the same way with the identities of the Dead and Dark Gods? There is mention of worshiper for both of these two groups, but it doesn't say if they worship the whole collective group of the gods, or if each sect/cult/order worships a specific being among their ranks.
4. Regarding the identities and worship of the Old Gods, is the loss of all information and worship an absolute fact, or is it that all knowledge and open worship among the general public has disappeared? I guess what I'm asking is: Could there exist a secret/hidden quasi-religious order that worships either the Old Gods as a collective, or one god in particular?
5. When you say that the individual identities of the gods has been forgotten, does it mean that we as players don't know but you as the GM knows, or is it intended as an opening for us to come up with entities that fit with the backstories of our characters if the need arises, with your approval of course. After all, the plot/lore is yours.
So I might have come up with a few more questions than I started with, but I figure it is better to ask questions first instead of having to change stuff later because some things might not work with the lore.

@Blue Demon
Thank you, and maybe I will find some old friends. It's sad that nothing got saved though, the same happened with PE2K where I originally started roleplaying. Luckily I save most of my posts off-site before posting them(or rather I type them off-site and when I'm done I copy the whole text and reply to the RP, that way I don't accidentally lose something if the web-browser, my internet-connection, or the site itself stops working), so at least I can still read the parts I contributed to most of the RPs I was in.
@Scout
Thank you, I too hope that I find what I'm looking for. From what I can tell so far, the site is looking good. While it may not be finished(in truth though, is a project like this ever truly finished?), it is tailored to it's purpose in a way that I don't remember the old site being. Little things here and there, but some times it is the little things that counts the most. Just the fact that a thread can have multiple tabs is a nice feature, that way you have your RP and OOC in the same place and whatnot.

Hello everyone,
My name is Carthang(not my real name obviously), and I find myself once again at the Guild, looking for new adventures. It has been a while since my last visit to the Guild, so long in fact that I had to register a new account because the old accounts didn't follow the transition to the new site(which might not be so new any more). I used the same name on the previous iteration of the Guild, so if any of you happen to recognize me from back then, don't hesitate to send me a PM if you want to talk or reminisce about one of the old RPs we participated in.
My roleplaying history mostly contains Pokemon-related roleplays during the earlier years(all of it took place on PokemonElite2000, a site that sadly no longer exists, and my username over there was Kamikaze), and the last few years it has veered off into the fascinating genre of fantasy, usually high fantasy of various kinds. Who doesn't love lots of magic and a few dragons, eh?
Other interests include but are not limited to reading(mostly fantasy, which might explain my taste in roleplaying), various videogames, logical puzzles in just about any shape you can think of, and Airsoft.
It is almost 1 in the morning here, so this will be all for now.
Regards,
Carthang

First off, I would like to compliment you on your work with the detailed backstory and the world that you have built. It is very good, and it was a pleasure to read both the backstory in the first post as well as the descriptions in the glossary.
Second, I'm obviously interested in participating (if I wasn't I probably wouldn't be posting, would I?).
And thirdly, my first question is how long magic has been around. The lore provided so far states that it has returned and is present at the start of the RP, which I'm guessing will be year 56 of the Age of Dawn. I guess what I'm wondering is if the magic returned during the Years of Dusk, somewhere around the transition into the Age of Dawn, or just a few years back? I have a character idea in mind(two actually if that is allowed), and how long magic has been around will obviously influence the degree of mastery that the character has.
There will likely be more questions in due time, but that is all for now.
