Merlin, we all know how that feels, unfortunately. >> Essence itself has been rebooted a few times already but we've had a team of very dedicated players and managed to push through at least one successful season. We hope this one will be successful too. ^ ^

Gephfryee, you don't have to read absolutely everything, really. It definitely helps but you can run as you go - the basics are listed here and you can always ask for someone to elaborate details you feel are necessary. There are quite a few specifics and unique aspects to this world but we won't be too strict about them this time - what's important is to get things started and spark the flame of inspiration. ^ ^
