During your travels, you might bump into a small, pipe smoking man...
He is your friendly, and very busy story telling dwarf... He wishes for you to involve any lands that you might see next to his portrait in your quests and travels. There is no need to ask, these lands are free to travel and use with your imagination!
How this Works for Existing Dwarf Threads
If the land is listed as unexplored or unclaimed, it means that it is probably up for grabs if someone wants to claim it. Pending claims will be marked with an Asterisk (*) so you know it is not available to claim. If it is not claimed, you may petition the dwarf to claim the land as part of your kingdom or group. If a location is listed under a specific name, i.e. Beldaire Island, all threads associated with that name is part of Beldaire Island, and will be considered claimed if someone asks to claim the island.
You must play in the desired thread(s) before you can claim them. They start out as unexplored lands, so you have to first play out the taking of the land or the marking of the territory.
After you have claimed the land(s), the dwarf is no longer in charge of GMing the thread, the person who took over is. The dwarf will happily fill the new owner in on the kind of monsters and other creatures, as well as possible enchantments associated with that particular thread, and the main stipulation of you taking over the thread is for you to utilize that on top of whatever you come up with so that you are staying true to the thread. You do not have to use every little thing he sends you, but if you use nothing, the dwarf will be sad and have no choice but to take the land back.
This is giving you an opportunity to learn how to DM if you don't know how, and to use your imagination to help create a story. The Dwarf spends a lot of time looking for the pictures and such to put these threads together, so that little bit of payment of you using his creatures and other things he sends to you, is a small thing to ask.
If you have a government and have claimed the thread, the dwarf will then ask the admin or mod to move the threads to your sub board. If you are NOT yet a government, the dwarf will put the name of your group in brackets for future movement.
If you do not like my choice as to not granting you a thread, just know that I spent too much time picking these pictures and coming up with the stories behind them, therefore the final decision is mine.

Lands to NOT need to be claimed or pending for you to play them!
The Run Down
- Petition
- Play it out
- You take over
Collaboration
If you choose to collaborate with the dwarf and he has not posted a setting beforehand, simply talk to the dwarf via PM. All collab threads will automatically be listed as pending and do not need to be "liberated" or "Claimed" like the aforementioned threads. However, you still must play these threads in the quest you have planned with the Dwarf, and he still asks that you use some of the creatures, pictures. and texts he may come up with since he did the work to put them there. However, you have more control over these things and you will be able to tell the dwarf what you would like to see in the thread.
