Guidelines[]
Please note that regardless of how much time passes in-game, you are not required to react to it, or to anyone elses' roleplay based off of it (except maybe GMs). That is to say, you aren't forced to age your character, you don't have to celebrate their birthday, etc. It serves to create atmosphere, not control it. People do not always have the same availability to play, they may have to take some time off, even if their character would not vanish suddenly for half a year's time.
Also, while people are welcome to age their characters if they want, please respect it if another player does not. Sigrogana is a very unique world where the blood of gods has trickled down to man, where magic exists, and some things are very hard to explain. Basically, hand waves are quite possible and helpful where needed, so it shouldn't break your immersion if the world doesn't move along with you.
