A young historian opens a large tome in the 'Hall of Heroes' section of Aquor's Museum of Wonders. The room is filled with the scent of dust and aged scrolls; rows of pedestals line the hall, each holding up a thick volume of bindings and parchment.
The historian has to suppress a fit of coughing as his action loose a small duststorm in the area. He is dressed simply and wears a tag on his collar that reads: Antony, Assistant to Director Belle.
He makes a mental note to schedule more frequent janitorial services before flipping past the cover and title pages of his chosen book. As he reaches the foreword, however, he cannot help but stop to read words he long since memorized:
We are both what we make of ourselves and what others make us out to be. We are at once the keepers and inheritors of our own history. Whether by strength or wit, spell or sword, success or failure, we have made our mark on this valley.
We are each of us gifted and cursed, nobles and savages, heroes and villains.
We are each of us Sundren, and Sundren is our legacy.
The historian smiles briefly before flipping to the nearest empty page, and begins writing.

If you would like to submit one of your player characters for inclusion here, please note the following:
- By submitting your character for this process, you will give up creative control of your character’s destiny and allow the Sundren staff to determine your character’s fate. As a reminder, all existing characters prior to the relaunch are required to have (a) died; or (b) left the valley in the intervening 50 years before the relaunch.
- There is no requirement concerning level, faction reputation, fame, or notoriety for your character to be included here. While faction leaders and major players will likely receive lengthier treatises, we won’t object to including lesser-known characters as long as you accept the other requirements.
- We will do our best to accommodate your wishes/goals for your characters, but we will not be bound to those ideas if we don’t think they are reasonable, or if storytelling necessities dictate otherwise.
- There will be no other formal rewards for inclusion in this process other than your character’s immortalization here on the forums. References to these characters may pop up on custom DM items … but no guarantees.
- Submissions will be accepted up until the official date of the relaunch.
If the above requirements are okay with you and you would like to submit your character for inclusion here, please create a character request and provide us the following information:
- Character Name
- Faction, if any
- Brief Summary of your character’s significant accomplishments in Sundren, if any
- Goals that your character might work on during the 50 year timejump
- Preferred Fate (e.g., died defending his/her faction, left the valley to pursue his goals, etc.)
You are of course welcome to write your own endings for your characters, as long as no godmoding or metagaming is involved (and as long as they pass on or leave the valley before the timejump). These posts are purely for those who want to leave it up to the Sundren staff to write their ending for them.
Thank you for being a part of the Sundren community, and we look forward to seeing new collaborative stories with your new characters soon!
