The Orlesian occupation of Ferelden lasted almost a century, marking a dark period in Thedas.
Vigil's Keep was the first fortress to fall. Twenty years after the invasion began there, Orlais finally sacked the city of Denerim, claiming victory and drove the king into hiding. Though routed, the king now known as "Brandel the Defeated" continued to rebel against the Orlesians... but his efforts have proven inefficient, as most nobles believe that Ferelden is truly lost.
August has just ended and the cold and rain are starting to show, on-and-off, in the southern parts of the continent. The northern half is experiencing only minor changes.

NOV. 24th Happy belated first month anniversary to us! A few things to be noted. We are currently taking nominations for our first ever site spotlights. The nomination period will be over by the 30th, so feel free to take your time as new members and threads roll in. Just don't forget about them. Secondly, the advertising contest is still going strong, but it slated to wrap up at the end of the month. If you want to earn some extra gold and help promote the site, best to get on that now, while the rewards are higher than usual. Thirdly, the site lottery is still going, and the drawing period will be over Friday. Lastly, we should be getting that multiplayer thread soon. Sorry it's been delayed so long--as you can imagine, I've been busy with single player for Inquisition. Once I'm done, I'll put up the threads and we can hopefully get some games going.
OCT. 19th We're kicking off the site's grand opening with quite a few things to do (besides apply and join, of course ;D). We have an advertising contest going on right now, which will earn new members a ton of gold. You even get ten gold just for advertising for us once. Aside from that, our first ever site lottery is underway, with double the traditional jackpot payout. There might even be a few other things that we've forgotten to mention, but we're sure you can figure those out on your own. ;D As a final note, with DAI's release date being less than a month out (in North America), we're strongly considering organizing multiplayer across the various platforms so IWV members can play together. If that sounds like something that might interest you, keep your eyes peeled for the next little while.
Due to the limits on images, we want to be sure no one feels left out just because they can't make their own image for whatever reason (be it unable to afford the games on PC, don't have a PC that can run it, etc). As such, I thought making a thread of volunteers willing to take a small selection of screenshots of characters for people was the best compromise. So anyone who wants to help and anyone who's looking for an image should look into this thread/reply to it.
THOSE SEEKING IMAGES: Please post below with either a description or references to what you want the character to look like – or both. There will be a form to fill out below with all the details. While someone will endeavor to get you a set of images to work with before you finish your character, please bear in mind we have our own things to do, too, and pestering has a habit of making people less inclined to do things.
THOSE WISHING TO HELP:Any member who wishes to volunteer their own ability to make screenshots may help with the initiative, simply post below with the required information I'll place below.

Veras here. I was trying to go for a grizzled, weathered veteran look, more on the masculine side for an elf. Let me know if you want me to try again, Ryuu, I'd be more than happy to discuss his appearance with you.
It's all pretty generic: No advertising other sites. No spamming. Don't heavily discuss or link to other RP sites. Don't bring in drama. Don't pester people. Don't impersonate other members. And, do not mention any Chantry board updates.
