Crosshaven is a city that sits on the crossroads between different worlds.
Inside the gates, the "Gifted"--those who posess reality-defying
supernatural powers--take refuge from the world outside.
It is a place where almost anything is possible,
where average humans live, work, and play
alongside beings of impossible power and real monsters.
Where "different" is the norm, and the norm is worlds away from normal.

Every character in Crosshaven starts with one Arcane Gift, a
magical power or supernatural condition of your own choice and design.

Our town is realistic with fantasy and supernatural
elements, set in the world of Gaia. It is designed to
give players the most possible creative freedom, while
keeping the pace up with crew-run storylines and events,
and it is unlike any other Literate Guild out there.


Note to prospective players as of 1/13/08: It is the perfect time to join. We are preparing for a story time-jump and a fresh start. The guild is currently inactive as we renovate. Our re-launch will come sometime in February-March, with an announced series of mixer events for old and new players alike. We welcome new Literate players as we build on to our ever-expanding story. Come and create a character, work your story into ours, and grow with us!

Note to Players: If you want to donate to the guild, send a gift or trade to the guild's mule: " City of Crosshaven " so that we can use the gold and items for member contests, raffles, and other things.


Before you join:

  • 1. No noobs
    No kiddies
    No God-mods
    No drama
    No chatspeak
    No fighting

  • 2. You gotta be active, but we're cool so long as you tell us you are going away for a while. We ask you to make at least three posts per week. If you have not made a single post in two weeks, or made any contact with us about going away, we will send you a PM reminding you. If you do not post for a week after that, we will consider you MIA and possibly ban you from the guild.

  • 3. You must be literate. This doesn't mean you have to have perfect spelling and grammar, it means you know how to role play. We are very selective about the people we let into our community.

  • 4. Your character CAN be a supernatural creature. This counts as your Arcane Gift, even if it's mostly a curse! (Vampires and Werewolves are allowed now. You must follow the general culturally accepted mythic rules for these creatures, I.E. no vampires walking during the day, and above all, no cheesy s**t!) For the longest time, we did not accept vampires and werewolves and the like, and we will accept them rarely.

  • 5. Your character must be original. (No fan-dom.)

  • 6. Your character will receive a guild ID card, and you must place this in your sig, or your profile, or a link to the image from your sig or profile. It contains important information, such as rank within the guild and activity, that we periodically update.

  • 7. You must be at least 16 years old, with very few exceptions.
