Known as either Danta or the Maverick and almost never Dantalion, he's been leading the Hollowed Grounds with a personality as wild as his leadership style. Running the government from the back of a brothel, blending politics with a hint of nighttime mischief, Danta keeps everyone on their toes by flipping seamlessly from impulsive flirt to devilish predator. Beneath the charm lies a subtle mission—carving a haven for the Ancients in the Grounds. The past's a secret, but the future under Danta's rule promises a thrilling, blood-pumping ride. Congratulations Danta!

FAQ
The Random Event cursed me in my prayer thread, does that count as a Random Event interaction?
No! In order to count for claiming Merit Points, both you and the Random Event account need at least three posts each in the thread
Leveling up requires me to post a thread. Which thread?
The character application thread, where your leveling submissions are stored.
I just killed my own character. How much MP do I get?
You receive a minimum of 10MP OR .5x(post count) for the character who has died (whichever is higher). So a character with 100 posts would receive 50 MP. A character with 5 posts would receive 10MP. This will be calculated for you, so don't worry!
Creating a character requires me to post a thread. Which thread?
The character application thread.
When submitting how many months I have been on the site, it asks me to type in "# + month/s". What does this mean?
If you have been on the site for 1 month, put in "1 month", then "2 months", "3 months", etc.
Reach X amount of posts, post in all boards of a region, thread with every race - are these claims character specific?
Yes! They need to be completed on a single character, and can be claimed for several characters.
Which races are counted in the "thread with every race" claim?
Accepted, Abandoned, Attuned, Ancient, Hybrid (any kind), Demi-god, and Merfolk
What counts as significantly changing the landscape?
Typically something that requires an alteration of the forum description. Talk to the admins!
Completing all parts of a seasonal event requires me to post a thread. Which thread?
The thread announcing the seasonal events, where to post your turn-in for participation.
When claiming for my character surviving an IC year, it asks me for the IC season joined and current year. Why?
If your character joined in Deepfrost 311 PC, then you would claim this in every Deepfrost. So the next claim is Deepfrost 312 PC, that's what you write down in the claim.
