Welcome to Paragon! ( Return To Your Element | Join the Elements? )

November 20: The Anord have now finally decided on a course of action to solve their current issue. Perhaps too, they can figure out how to solve the strange weather berating the lands as well, making things difficult for all wolves, as the storm continues to rage on unchecked, winds tossing those around that attempt to use the air, and rains drenching all that choose to be out in the elements instead of in a warm, safe, den. The wolves of lightning will not be able to do this on their own, they will need to enlist the aid of others in their quests. Hopefully, they can forge their way through!
As well, you'll notice some minor changes being made here and there to the Website, specifically the Timeline on the World page, and the Seasons, wherein it specifies how the different seasons affect different elemental packlands. It is always a good idea to read and re-read the website as you continue on your merry journeys, for as things change and evolve, so too does some of our information! Finally, you'll notice that the "Adoptable Pre-Made Characters" Thread is undergoing construction. The finished project should make it easier to read and sort through, expect that amongst other things to be finished this coming weekend! ~ Cheryl
November 9: Just a quick FYI: I do keep track (and the board does as well) of ip addresses and can recognize emails that have been used prior when creating accounts. This is how I can tell if you have multiple accounts on the game. It is in your best interest then, if you are intending on playing a character, to register it yourself so that miscommunication is not had. (And yes, you can still ask me to register a character for you if you do not have an alternate email, that is kept track of manually) As well, due to people not understanding that we require you to state "other characters played here" on your application, it has now been edited into the Character Application Form for better clarification. Currently pending applications must edit this into their application before they can be accepted and it is thus required now on all future applications! Please help make sure our records are kept straight! Thanks! :) ~ Cheryl

Welcome to Paragon! On behalf of all of your admin and moderator staff, we'd like to welcome you to what we consider one of the most well-developed elemental wolf role-plays out there!

You may have been directed here by one of many different ways - word of mouth, an advertisement on another forum, or perhaps merely via search engine! If you've come looking for an abridged version of our game, well we're glad to provide!

Paragon: itself is a continent floating on a grand ocean on a Planet thus unnamed by the wolves, though it has it's own name in time and space as given by others. It's creation is a mystery to it's inhabitants, but what is known is that the dominant species here is the gray wolf, and it has been this way for centuries.



Long ago, nigh over 50 cycles of the seasons, a human sorceror made a fateful visit to this land, an accident in his flow of magic that brought him here and stranded him within the borders. Unable to leave, and needing something to occupy his time here, this sorceror, gifted in the use of elemental magic, started experimenting with the dominant carnivores here; the wolves.

Over many years of experiments, he managed to create what are called elemental foci, one of each foci located in a particular area: Emerald Forest, Ruby Desert, Quartz Peaks, and Sapphire Lake. Each of these foci created an aura of a particular element that swept over it's portion of land, affecting the wolves that resided within. Thus the four original elemental packs of Paragon were created.

Other elemental packs were created as well over the years prior to his death, as described in our timeline of events, however, that brief history lesson should allow insight into what our game is about.

Paragon, Paradigm of the Elements is about role-playing an elemental wolf of one of our seven elemental packs. In our packs, we presume that there are many "npc" wolves in the background that make up each pack, with the pack base being just the "tip of the iceberg". Therefore, you join assuming you've been a part of the elemental pack, simply isolated, or perhaps even living in a family group on the fringes of the elemental land you belong to. So it is very easy to "write" your wolf into our story and start roleplaying right away!

We toss new and exciting plots out for you every two months, revealing more and more of the history behind the world and the creatures and elements within it! Of course, you may also create your own personal relationships and plots to do with your particular characters, so long as they fit with the continuity of the world around!

For more information on this world, the wolves within and the elements that you will hold the key to, please, we urge you to attend to our Webpage first, and then to the "How-To" Create A Character thread to learn how to get your character created! If at any time, you have queries, you are welcome to post a question in this, the Guest Aid forum, and one of the friendly staff will give our aid!

Thanks for reading! We hope you enjoy your time here!

~ The Staff of Paragon
