All players post your character sheets here. You don't need approval to begin them in the game, but you are expected to create your characters according to the rules. If we find you playing a character in violation of any rules, the character is subject to disciplinary action. So make sure you read the rules first, and if you're unsure about anything, ASK!

Here players can post if they have characters up for adoption. Newborns in a new or upcoming litter that are available, as well as characters you just don't want anymore and want to give to someone else to RP.

Here is where all the descriptions of original {fan} pokemon approved for Erymire are found. You are free to create and submit any fan pokemon you like here, but you must wait for approval before beginning any characters of said species. Also found here are fan-made variants of canon pokémon, as well as pokemon in between variant and original species. Players may create these as well and submit them for approval on this board.

Alcatraz's Alcove, the abode of the aruseus who has been mysteriously absent of late. Pokemon in the area needing help might be tempted to ask a favour of him, but he may or may not be home--if he is, he may or may not grant your request. Some things are beyond the abilities of even the pokegods...

Flowing along the border between the forest and the fields, the Erymire River separates these two habitats. It is a wide, deep river, flowing sluggishly from north to south. Water pokemon live in and near the river in abundance.

Berries of all kinds can be found in this grove, providing nourishment for any pokemon who wanders into this place. Apricorn trees also stand in abundance, heavy with their rich nutty fruits. Something is always in season. But remember, berries can't heal everything.

Tumbling down from the mountain heights, a series of waterfalls pours its white rapids into a generous pool. It is a popular place for the forest pokemon to bathe, drink and fish. Water pokemon also live here in abundance.

Sprawled out in the heart of the forest, the Middle Meadow is resplendant with wildflowers, berry bushes and sunlight. A trickling stream flows through it. Pokemon of the forest often come here to enjoy the sun or prey on herbivore grass pokemon who come to soak up the energy-giving rays.

Baldcypresses grow up through several inches of standing water. Insects buzz thickly in the air. Animals like feraligatrs love this environment. Beware, for still waters run deep!

Beware the dangers of this place! Deep in the jungle lie sinkholes full of quicksand! Step in the wrong place and you may sink to your death. On the other hand, if you know your way around this place, it can be a great area to hide from enemies, even set up a deadly ambush. Many berries also grow in this area.

A wide round lake fed by several streams from the north. The clear, cool water is also deep and provides a home for even large water Pokemon. Reeds and lily pads grow around its edge, but swimmers beware: many dangerous pokemon such as Feraligatr lurk beneath the water.

Out in the middle of Erymire, the downs ripple on for as far as the eye can see. There are no bushes or trees, only endless rolls of green. Pokemon of the plains such as grazing herds of rapidash and tauros make their living out here. They also say that the raikou may sometimes be spotted when thunderstorms rumble over the downs.

More a huge patch than a pit, heavy deposits of kaolin and other clays combine with a moist climate and runoff from the sparkling stream, to create smooth, soft, pale mud, an ideal place for a mudbath. Come here to have fun and get dirty! {It's also great for the skin.}

Located near the mud pit, the stream flows at a moderate pace over rocks and boulders worn smooth by the current. The stream is about a yard deep out in its middle. It's ideal for washing off if you get a little {or a lot} muddy.

Due to the mountains blocking much of the rainfall, these fields are drier than the rest of Erymire and in some places are hot desert. This is a favoured environment for pokemon native to the desert.

Sloping expanses filled with wildflowers and swaying grass beckon in the sunlight. Pokemon of the mountains can come here to graze or hunt the grazers. Some berries can also be found growing here.

Fast-flowing, cold and clean, the stream starts out thin and swells to a wider stream lower down. All along the stream's path are waterfalls. There isn't much room to swim except for some smaller fish, but it's a great place to catch fish or just have a drink of pure clean, cold water.

Grass and bushes grow interspersed with stands of trees in a valley elevated from the lower altitude of the plains in the east. Rivers run down from the mountains into a sparkling lake.
The valley stays warmer in winter than the surrounding mountains and provides a haven for pokemon of the higher slopes seeking shelter from winter snow.

Inside the tallest mountain is an active volcanic area, complete with lava pools where fire pokemon dwell. The caves around the lava pools are especially popular for charizards, magmar and other fire types. But who knows when the great peak will blow its top?

A deep canyon bordered on both sides by the high-elevation parallel mountain ranges of West Erymire. Deep in the base of the canyon flows a rapid river flowing from northeast to southwest. Shallow caves pock the sheer cliff faces on the sides of the deep canyon, providing many places for bird and especially dragon pokemon to nest.

Habitats of ground and rock pokemon. Onix and steelix created a network of tunnels used by other pokemon as well. The underground world is harsh and ruled by ruthless factions of pokemon, who speak with disdain of the those living in the sunworld. In their eyes, the world above produces only weaklings...These tough pokemon are arch enemies of the dark horde in the eastern range.

Giant firestones, waterstones, leafstones, thunderstones and other rare rocks holding the powers of evolution lie here, waiting to be found by pokemon who come searching for them.

Gently rolling foothills blanketed in green grass sprawl out around the mountains and lead up into the higher slopes. Bushes, some with berries, dot the landscape. Clean cool water tumbles down from the mountainside into a crystal-clear pool, providing an excellent place for pokemon to enjoy the water, have a bath or hunt for fish.

What was once a glorious human city built into these mountains has long since broken down and grown over. Pokemon may make their homes here in the deserted stone structures. Why the humans vanished from these lands is a mystery.

The Erymire River empties out into this huge body of water, which is a favourite home of water pokemon. Lying south of the southernmost fields of Erymire, this lake goes on for miles, twisting and turning through a tangle of smaller mountains. Beware for the winters here can be harsher than the mild ones of north and central Erymire. Along the winding shores of the lake rise mountains forested with pine and spruce.

Chepporgavvo is a region unique in the Southlands. A great mountain range shaped like a ring surrounds the entire region, spanning many miles in diametre. It is also the only place in all of the lands where a few ancient Guardian Trees can be found growing outside of the Far Reaches. The sacred Arusian stronghold called Tome Caverns is also located here. There are no humans living in this region, but occasional human expeditions may venture into it.

On the northeastern edge of Phargas, not far from the shoreline lies an enourmous city with a colourful and long history. Candyn City is home to a few million humans and probably even more pokemon; however, the city has seen better days and much of the downtown section has fallen to urban decay. Many stray pokemon eke out a harsh existence here.

Lying mostly south of the main city, the Candyn City suburbs are where most of the more affluent humans live. It consists mostly of well-kept houses on tree-lined streets. Pokemon make popular pets and many owned pokemon enjoy a posh, pampered life here. But even here, there are many strays.

This sluggish river is over five miles wide and home to many water pokemon. Giant guardian trees over a thousand feet high grow among normally sized trees along its bountiful banks. This river extends for miles and miles, from regions away in the north down to Hallowmoor, where it empties out into Soleria Bay.

This is the name for the mountains of dark grey and black stone that stripe the area just south of the Far Reaches and border the lands just north of Erymire. Many of the Kavaness peaks are capped with glaciers left over from this world's last ice age. Many Guardian Trees grow here and in the centre of the Kavaness lies a huge valley where the grulik, the most collossal of the giants, gather during certain years.

This land where evil often crawls lies east of the Kavaness, where the Poddaboo River forms a cleft in the land and meets the ocean. Many pokemon of all sizes and types make this land home. In particular it is home to many flocks of spotted ampharos. In Hallowmoor, shadow forces are said to be at work.
