The purpose of the library is to allow the members of AoD to have an ordered and detailed record of places, NPCs, units, spells, lands and other In Character elements of the world for reference as well as classification. While narrative freedom does exist, and at any point, should the interacting parties are consenting, there is little issue, in the case prior correspondance did not take place, it is safe to the limits, traits, or mechanics of certain elements, which may be used during roleplay.
Although in order to use elements that could be submitted in the Library is not prohibited, without prior submission of them, it is strongly encouraged to submit content such as locations, units or other, so that their power-level, balance, as well as existence is established.
How to write a Submission
The overall mechanic of the Library remains the same throughout, although certain details may change, depending the type of the submission. For the purpose of reasonable comparison between submissions, a one-to-five scale is being utilized, allowing players to adjust the stats of their respective submissions, to both differenciate as well as establish their individual characteristics. Depending on the points used, the requirements for each submission change.
Additionally to the point system, for balancing a submission, Strengths and Weaknesses are also implemented, in order to give a more personalized colour to each individual submission. Bare in mind, when writing Strengths and Weaknesses, these traits are distinct characteristics, which branch out from the bare point-system attributes.
