This section is the guide to character creation this is taken from
the Lorien Trust Role Playing System 2nd edition which can be down loaded
in full from here.
The fantasy/medieval world of Erdreja has been created to accommodate
a wide variety of characters within its campaign world. Use the following
procedure to create your character.
Choose a concept.
You may already have an idea of the type of character you would like
to play. This will be your basic template for creating your character
within the Lorien role playing system. If you do not have a basic idea
for a character, think of a favourite story or film character you may
wish to base your character upon. You will hopefully have this character
for a long time to come, so you don't want to get stuck playing something
you don't enjoy. Remember as well that most Lorien Trust events last for
a considerable period of time - up to four or five days. You should come
up with a concept that you are comfortable with role playing for this
amount of time.
Choose a character name.
Choose a name for your character. This can be as simple or as complex
as you want it to be. Try to avoid putting titles like Lord or Baron in
the name. Such titles are earned, not assumed and titled characters tend
to take exception to a simple peasant calling himself King something.
Do not give yourself too long a name, otherwise it will not fit on your
character card!
Choose your character race.
Numerous fantasy races exist within Erdreja. Many are widespread,
but others remain all but unknown. For purposes of simplification, we
have grouped all the common known races together into racial groups (listed
below). If your choice of race does not fit into these categories, then
please specify your chosen race within reason. use the table at the bottom
of this page as your guide. For more information on the races follow the
