'''<big>How do I contribute? Only registered users can contribute but I can't register! D8</big>'''
 
 
Because of a spam problem, we had to tighten up security here. But never fear! We ''want'' our members to contribute to SotE's awesome world!
 
 
Just send a PM to Rhi-Rhi [http://spiritsoftheearth.net/forum/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=2 by clicking this link] and tell her that you would like to register on the wiki so you can contribute to it. :3 She will then '''register an account for you''' and PM you back with the login details. Go ahead and change your password once you get the info, and then get busy creating and editing articles! 8D
 
 
 
'''<big>New to using a wiki?</big>'''
 
 
That's okay! So were all of us. It's really quite easy and fun once you get the hang of it!
 
 
[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents Check out this helpful page] for some wiki help. We also have some [http://spiritsoftheearth.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=220&t=11584 submission templates] that should help make your life easier!
 
 
 
'''<big>Guidelines For Submitting Content</big>'''
 
* '''Original content only.''' Do not submit, for example, ''werewolves'' as a species unless you have created a very specific breed of werewolf. This is for things you have come up with on your own.
 
* '''Please be thorough about the content you're submitting.''' When you submit your creation, you are submitting them so that other players can use it, and they can't very well do that unless you give them all the information they need to do so accurately!
 
* '''Avoid absolutes in regards to the spiritual.''' In other words, if a species or religion has a savior/Chosen One figure, they may ''believe'' they are the savior of the world and worship them as such--but that doesn't mean they actually ''are''. At most, they may be the literal savior of '''their own race or religion''', but beyond that they may only ''think'' they are the saviors of other creatures. The reason for this is because many other races and religions may have similar figures in their mythology, or reject the idea altogether, and it's not really fair for one to trump all the others. xP
 
* '''This includes personifications of, say, death to use an example.''' It can be a personification of that species'/religion's view of death, or even their particular death god, but it cannot be death itself though they are free to believe it is. This includes personifications of the planet, life, etc.
 
* '''The technology level of any races submitted should not surpass that of the canon locations.''' For example, no races should have firearm technology unless they actually live in Connlaoth, and it should be no greater than what Connlaoth is currently capable of. Similarly, they really wouldn't have access to that technology anyway unless they worked for the military. Most races should not have technology higher than medieval-level technology and below.
 
* '''Feel free to create your own villages!''' But please ensure that they fit the feel of the nation/region you are creating them for and that they do not break setting. '''If you would like a board created for it, contact the staff.'''
 
* '''Submitted races/species should be submitted as part of a canon location.''' If you wish to say your race has its own small nation/independent city (as in, a city not already connected to a canon nation, like Serendipity for example), '''contact the staff team.''' You may feel free to create your own tribes, clans, and packs at will.
