Welcome to the Collegium's Web Page. The Collegium is a free email-based roleplaying game set in the world of Valdemar, based on a series of novels written by Mercedes Lackey. The purpose of this group is quite simply to have fun and involve ourselves in a story that we all know and love. It should be noted that Mercedes Lackey, as the creator of these novels, has creative license as well as copyright of the characters and concepts contained in the Valdemar books, and the game is conducted according to very strict standards designed neither to infringe upon her copyrights nor to alter the world she has created. More details on this policy can be found here. If you're looking to join the game, get information on characters or plotlines, or see what we've been up to lately, you need only choose from the following table of contents.
Please, we are not accepting any more Herald Mages, so do not create one for your characters!!

[Update 7/19] : We've got a new Herald, Dash.
[Update 6/23] : Everyone, please give a warm welcome to our newest Healer, Eddard played by our new co-moderator, Joe *applause*
[Update 5/21]: Okay, I've got the profiles for Aurianne, Tiryan, Lashayna, Jiran, and Nayia up and working *I hope* and Jiran is our new bard..LOL..though, her mun hasn't put herself on the mailing list...she will soon though :)
[Update 5/15]: Sadly, Brian (Thalaric) has stepped down from his duties as Moderator, due to real life conflicts, and has also stepped down as webmaster, which leaves me, Arlene, in deep kimchee :) I know very very little about all this webpage design stuff..so PLEASE...any volenteers who have the time, patience, and knowledge to help, please, let me know. [Update 9/30]: Two new profiles up -- we've got Healers, folks! They're twins, which is why they're on the same line. :) [Update 9/28]: I just got finished coding a new toy! Now that I've debloatified this page, I don't dare open it in my WYSIWYG editor lest it become riddled with FONT tags and other needless garble, but I'm not precisely fond of updating these blurbs in raw HTML. This program allows me to update, edit, and delete news items from a graphical interface. What does this mean? Well, it means I have way too much time on my hands...
[Update 9/25]: This page (index.html) has been completely recoded according to real live HTML specifications. Character count before recoding: 19,150. Character count after recoding: 15,222. Now that's progress! Ever felt like ripping out your hair strand by strand because you couldn't for the life of you remember what Gifts a certain character had, and their player wasn't responding to email? Or how about when you're looking for inspiration but can't remember whether your Companion's supposed to be sweet or surly? Well, your troubles are over. The following is a complete list of all the active player characters in the game, each linked to a separate page about that character. Complete, at least, as long as we keep it up-to-date. *evil grin*

The plot is, of course, the essence of the game (which, naturally, is why it's stuck down here below all the other sections). The attempt in this section is going to be to keep a running list of "campaigns" that have been run in-game, including such details as when, by whom, and what exactly happened. If you're looking for a message archive, head to our eGroups homepage instead. Please note that due to the difficulty of determining when one campaign has ended and another has begun, this section may be a little behind sometimes. Rather than attempt to consolidate all of the messages posted in the time (over a year now!) since Collegium was founded, this plotline begins with Thalaric's return from his imprisonment by the Prophet, which seemed to mark the end of a long period of inactivity on everyone's part, and the beginning of an organized plot. Here's where we've been since then:

[Update 5/17]: Hey, folks! The profiles for Zyrianna, Rion, Lark, and Skyara are now up and running, suddenly and quite mysteriously. Sorry for the technical difficulties before... we think we've got all the kinks worked out of the system now though.
