Before you even create your character, you should think about what you plan to do, how you expect to play, and what your dreams are about your alter ego, your DragonRealms persona.

There have been successful traders of every known race, so it's entirely a matter of personal choice which race you should be. Keep in mind that there are distinct advantages and disadvantages inherent to each race, and research ahead of time so that you know what your challenges may be.

The base statistics required to join the Traders' Guild are:

Strength:	5	Reflex:	5
Agility:	5	Charisma:	9
Discipline:	N/A	Wisdom:	9
Intelligence:	9	Stamina:	5

You can touch the race figurines in the character manager as often as you like until you are satisfied with your "roll". Keep the base requirements in mind, and try to get everything higher than your minimums if you can.

Choose your features to please yourself, and get ready for adventure!

Once you emerge from the character manager, you'll find yourself either in the Tenderfoot Inn, Crossing, or the Aldamus Guesthouse at Riverhaven. Read all the signs, talk to the NPCs (non player characters), and explore a bit. You might also want to visit the kitchen, to go through the combat tutorial as long as you're so close. (DIR COMBAT TRAINING to get there.)
