Natives were born and raised in The Tapestry, it is all they have ever known and are comfortable and are not surprised by the arrival of beings from other places. It is, after all, part of their oldest beliefs that the creator of the world has hand picked these arrivals. They may already be part of a guild, in which just reach out to the guild of preference and let them know, they are more than likely happy to add you to their rosters, or may choose to remain disenfranchised despite knowing that the power of a guild can help them go far in life.

Non-native characters, also referred to as ''skaldborne'' or ''strangers'', find themselves in a strange land in even stranger circumstances. The way they arrive into the world is up to the player's descriptive discretion, but they arrive with some vague and varied amounts of amnesia and may or may not lack the clothes on their back. Because of this the natives of The Tapestry leave wrapped little packages with a change of clothes, a waxed map to the nearest settlement, and a small amount of gold to get them started. They are usually highly encouraged to join a guild for ease in assimilation into the world, plus the guilds would get quite the reputation if one of the skaldborne had become as great as The Skald bringing them in would imply.

The Tapestry is how the natives call the world, believing that they are just one big masterpiece on an unseen canvas. As such there are no true names of continents, with masses of land/regions simply being referred to by the main city that inhabits them. There is a distinct illusion of organized peace with the leaders of regions bowing in unison to a high king, but there is strife in many forms political and otherwise, and their god, The Skald, loves every minute of it.
