Have you ever been curious to know what lays under you in the thousands of kilometres of the earth below your paws?
Of course you may already know, there are bones and bugs and bothersome things that you wouldn't normally twitch a whisker
about, but what about the ancient stories of cats that are whithering with old age, that speak of a palce of tendrilous size?

The catacombs are a vast underground network of tunnels, only accessible by a few select spots on the surface. Ancient
cats carved and explored these tunnels through centuries of hard work. At the heart of the catacombs is a nook bustling with life: Catalena.
Here cats live harmoniously in groups called guilds, in which every member has it's own special role. There are merchants, barbarians,
witches, foragers, every type of citizen you could imagine. Everyone contributes to Catalena in their own way and keeps it safe
for the cats that live there.

But the catacombs aren't only home to cats, no.. they harbour other things as well. Horrifying monsters and ghosts which
haunt the tunnels day and night. Catalena is only a small speck of light in the grand scheme of things, and there are always
threats.. threats of impending doom in the air.

Are you prepared to enter the depths of the catacombs?

Catacombs is an ARPG that involves completing prompts and small tasks to maintain your guild. You will begin with a guild founder.
You will be able to adopt other cats through the regular adopts page!

Getting Started

Step 1) In order to start playing, you must form your guild, you must create them a thread on CS or a folder on toyhouse and get the guild registered on the guild registration thread. All guilds must have a special name, said name can be whatever you want it to be, as long as it is appropriate for CS. Proceed here to register your guild!
Step 2) Create your founder! Your founder will be your first cat, and they will have the "FOUNDER" role. The FOUNDER role is a custom role that combines one of the combat roles and the forager role. Proceed here to customize your founder
Step 3) Create a post in your guild including your founder's name, gender, and other necessary information required!
Step 4) Explore Catalena! There are a lot of things to do in the catacombs. You can recruit new cats to your guild through the main adopts, or participate in prompts and events.

Roles
The roles of your cat are what dictate what your guild is capable of doing! Having certain types of cats will allow you to
participate in different aspects of the game. Do you want to participate in raids, explore the catacombs or make money off
of what you have foraged? It's important to select the roles for your cats wisely in order to participate in the ARPG to the fullest!

There are different types of roles: custom, civilian, combat and misc. You may distribute 10 cats among the different roles, however
you may only have certain numbers of cats that fall under a specific role. When adopting a cat, you must choose roles for them, so choose wisely!

Custom Roles
FOUNDER

The founder role is reserved for your first cat only.
The founder role combines the abilities of the FORAGER role and one combat role. Your founder may be either a FORAGER/MAGE or FORAGER/FIGHTER.

Combat Roles
MAGE

A mage is a cat who participates in the magic arts. They are capable of learning combat spells and wielding them through their a magic object, such as a wand, necklace, ring etc. Mages can participate in raids and explore the catacombs. The level of their magic object dictates the power of the spells. Mages can go to the library to upgrade their charmed object and study.

Level Path: Mages have lower hit point totals than fighters however, they are more powerful in combat.


FIGHTER

A fighter is a cat who fights to defend catalena. Fighters are capable fo weilding a weapon such as a sword, axe or throwing knives. They may also use their claws or teeth to fight enemies. Fighters can participate in raids and explore the catacombs. Fighters can upgrade their weapons by visiting a blacksmith.

Level Path: Fighters have higher hit point totals than mages however, they are less powerful in combat.


Civilian Roles
MERCHANT

You may only have one merchant in your guild.
Merchants are capable of opening up shops and selling items that their guild has foraged for currency! You may sell to other players in the ARPG, or trade with other players. Items must be sold for in-game currency, or exchanged for other in-game items and may not be sold for external currency. Merchants can sell items at the market.

FORAGER

Foragers are capable of finding necessary herbs and materials for creating certain concoctions to be used in combat. They can also find items for the merchant to sell and more. As a forager levels up, their knowledge of foraging does too, making them more likely to find rarer and more valuable items! Explore the catacombs to forage items!

Level Path:


Misc Roles
RETIRED

Retiring your cat removes all civilian, combat and custom roles and gives them the retired role. They may not participate in the activities of catelena anymore including prompts, foraging, blacksmith, crafting, exploring, the market and the library.
At any point in time, a cat from your guild may be retired to make space for a new cat. There may only be 10 active cats in your guild at once, cats who are retired DO NOT COUNT towards that number. Once you retire a cat, you may not un-retire them unless they are being given away to another guild. A cat must have been in your guild for at least 4 months from the point of being adopted / created before being retired. If you wish to retire your founder, you may make a new founder. You can retire your cat on the registration thread.
