why does it rain

Welcome to Avarice, a fantasy wolf and human shifter roleplay with an entirely original setting and backstory. We are an intermediate to advanced site, but beginners are also welcomed if there is intent to improve. Back in the day we were a bustling hub of activity; after a few years' hiatus, we're making a comeback! You'll never find another site like it.

_________________________
05.02.20 having fun cleaning up this site, after all this time.. it's my dream to get it up and running again, so let's see how far it goes! -aydan
06.02.16 been a while since we've had an update, huh! to entice all of you just starting your summer vacations to make some new characters, all character bans will be lifted (except for the rare ones of course, but expect some of those to open up soon). limited time only, take them while you can! also, expect an activity check sometime in the near future. lots of love, aydan
07.16.15 ALL LEADERS AND BETAS, read the new thread in the high ranks board, please. also, great news! you can now send "donations" of talismans to other accounts! instead of having a staff member transfer talismans from each of your accounts so you can purchase something for a character, you can do it yourself. go to the account's profile, click "send donation" on the upper right, and follow the instructions. then log in to that account and click the donation button on the toolbar, bottom left of your screen, to accept the donation! any questions, please contact me! love, aydan
07.03.15 what could this "black fire" mean for the future of ilisthmira? the leaders have all gathered to discuss with the medicine wolf a possible cure. follow the thread here~ love, aydan
