+You are allowed to role-play as much as you want, whether there's an end goal to your character's adventures or not.  You don't need to go on a Quest, but most players choose to do so, as Questing grants your character rupees or treasures.
 A Quest is a role-play involving at least your character, and possibly other players' characters, where a goal is met.  For example, a group of mercenary characters might be killing off a troublesome monster, or a group of thieving characters might be robbing a tomb.  A Quest could even be as docile as catching up with an old friend.

+:''For the full version, see "A History of Dawn to Darkness," available on the [[Place:Hyrule|Hyrule]] page.''
 For centuries, Hyrule as existed as a kingdom on a continent ruled primarily by the [[Race:Hylian|Hylian race]] centered in [[Castle-Town]].  They, the [[Goron]]s of [[Death Mountain]], and the [[Zora]] of [[Zora's Domain]] lived in an honorable alliance.  More elusive races, like [[Kokiri]] and [[Deku Scrub]]s, were viewed with suspicion.  Yet, the known world was in a period of prosperous peace.
@@ Line 37: / Line 35: @@
 Because the world of Hyrule is so vast, it is assumed that any player can freely invent minor locations on random points of the map--such as a dungeon entrance, or a small outpost.  It's assumed these minor locations will only be used in one or two adventures.  By contrast, an "important place" is a known city or locale plotted on the official map of Hyrule Castle.  Important places have their own documented history, and are intended for use in many adventures.

 ==Character Creation==
-Before you can begin your adventures on Hyrule Castle, you must first create a character--an avatar for yourself in the world of Hyrule.  The Guide to Character Creation is conveniently located at the top of the Character Creation forum, and can be found by [http://forums.hyrulecastle.org/index.php?threads/a-guide-to-character-creation.2262/ clicking  here].

 As a general rule of thumb, you are allowed to introduce temporary "non-player characters" in the middle of your adventures.  Enemies and allies alike can become temporary NPCs.  Remember, your character is the protagonist, and NPCs are intended to fill supporting roles.  If you want to make a NPC a lead character in your adventures, you can turn the NPC into a full and proper character through character creation (assuming the NPC suits the rules for character creation).

 PWC is an abbreviation of Power / Wisdom / Courage.  PWC is the way we determine how apt a character is at acquiring treasures--extraordinary items and abilities.  For example, a character with high Wisdom is better at learning [[:Category:Spells|spells]]; a character with high Power has an easier time mastering weaponry like [[Bomb Bag|bomb]]s or a [[Hookshot|hookshot]].  It can be interpreted to portray actual attributes like strength or intelligence, but the intention of PWC is solely to represent aptitude for gaining different treasures.

 ===Renting Treasures===
 Characters are allowed to "rent" treasures for a single role-play thread, single Quest, single Dungeon, or single fight in the Battle Arena.  The character loses an amount of rupees based on the treasure's price, and is able to use it in the corresponding thread (and ''only'' that thread).  After a character has rented a treasure, she can later gain that treasure at a reduced cost.  The cost becomes its full cost minus its rent cost.  (If she rents the same treasure multiple times, the cost does not decrease further.)

 Try to use proper English grammar and spelling.  Some players prefer to write in third-person as if creating a novel, while others prefer writing in first-person as if explaining their own experiences.  Regardless, it's better to avoid writing in an abbreviated "script" format.

 ===Classic Dungeons===
 Classic Dungeons function similarly to Quests, but specifically emulate one of the dungeons canonically present in one of the official ''Legend of Zelda'' games.  Recently, original dungeons created on Hyrule Castle have been added as well.  Prestigious dungeons with high rewards, known as "Super Dungeons," can be challenged if a player completes numerous normal dungeons.
 Notably, one player in a Classic Dungeon can be designated as the "Dungeon Master."  This DM can dictate the enemies, traps, rooms, and circumstances the other players' characters encounter in the dungeon.
 ===Battle Arena===
-The Battle Arena is overseen by a mysterious judge known as the Arena Lord.  In his domain, players are freely encouraged to battle each other, waging their own trade-able prizes for victory.  Gauntlets of overwhelming monsters are thrown down upon the lone players fierce enough to face them.  Occasionally, tournaments are held to grant the ultimate victor grand prizes.

 First of all, welcome to Hyrule Castle!  As you likely already know, this wiki itself functions as the Library for the Hyrule Castle forums.  These forums primarily contains a continuous play-by-post role-play set in a universe based on ''The Legend of Zelda''.  The forums are also a place for friendly discussion, and a hub for other role-play settings.  If you're new to HC, this guide should serve as a comprehensive introduction to familiarize yourself with this site, help you get to know its version of Hyrule, and teach you how to use our treasure/quest system.  For brevity, this guide assumes you've posted on a forums-based website before.
