So, you think the roleplay sounds interesting? Have a few key points:

The roleplay is set in Corus, the capital city of Tortall. It moves in real time, which means one day in our world is one day in Tortall. When the club was founded in 1998, the year in Tortall was 456 HE, four years after the end of the Immortals War (In the Realms of the Gods) and in Keladry of Mindelan's last year as a page (Page/Squire). As time has progressed, so have the books: in 2007 the roleplay is set in 465, a year after the end of the revolution in the Copper Isles (Trickster's Queen).

The roleplay is entirely about original characters in original locations. It is against the rules to play a canon character (that is, a character from the books) or someone closely connected to a canon character, like Alanna's daughter, Daine's long-lost sister, or Stefan Groomsman's wife.
More about character rules and character creation.

The Inn of the Rogue moved from the Dancing Dove sometime before the roleplay began, and is now at a place a few blocks away called the Divine Realms Inn II. (The first one was burned down in the early years of the game.) Our noble roleplay is set not at the palace, but at the Little Court, the private residence of Dowager Countess Alexia of Staffenbroke.
More about the locations.

Roleplaying happens on a member-hosted chatroom, conducted in a set style which you can read about in the tutorials. Members can tell us more about their characters' lives on the Roleplay Message Board, the Steelsings forum, or shown through diaries or letters "written by" the characters on the sschars community on livejournal.com.

To join the roleplay, you will go through an application process which will demonstrate your ability to follow rules, create a character, and accept criticism. In this process mentors will help you make a character and fit him or her into the roleplay.

Please note that the roleplay is only open to those over the age of 13.
