Just so newcomers know. We have B12ers spread out across Dwilight. It is for the better anyways, since it is looked down upon for groups of people just joining a single realm and muscling out the old folk who are not part of the social group.
A number of realms are currently at war, as I mentioned earlier. If you are looking for action now... where there is active fighting, you can join up with:
-Niselur, northwest realm. Fighting for self-determination from the SA religion or some such. Currently on the defense against Astrum.
-Astrum, northwest realm. A theocracy. One of the old established realms, champion of the SA religion. In a 2 front war against Asylon and Niselur. They've recently cowed the Farronite Republic in the south, making a separate peace agreement with them. Currently standing firm against its enemies, even pushing back from the looks of it.
-Asylon, western realm. Monarchy. Joined the call to arms against Astrum. Has so far destroyed and taken a few regions at Astrum's southern border for what looks to be little effect.
-Corsanctum, mideast realm. Theocracy. Aiding Astrum in its current war. Has to travel across the sea to aid Astrum.
-Luria Nova, southeastern realm. Recent battle with D'Hara.
-D'Hara, midsouth sea-faring realm. Recent battle with Luria Nova.
For reference, I am from Asylon.
Mind you, fighting is the fastest way to gain honor and prestige, which is sorta like your experience points. Having more honor and prestige allows you more troops and opens up in-game options for you.
