 ==Adventurers of Note==
-Occasionally, the need will arise to link to and talk about adventurers who have contributed significantly to the world. This is a somewhat grey area, but we have a few rules of thumb to indicate when an adventurer warrants a page and when it doesn't:
+See [[AchaeanLore:Adventurers]] for more information on when pages should and should not be created.
-* The person must be a ''major'' contributor in some '''verifiable''' historical event.
-** Verifiable means included  in an event post or otherwise endorsed/approved by an immortal. Character backgrounds and made up fiction are ''not'' verifiable.
-** Simply participating in an event is not enough to warrant a separate article. However, being the catalyst to a major world event can be. (E.g. "opening the box that destroyed Hashan")
-* Becoming a guildmaster (or house master) is not enough to warrant an article, but being the ''first'' (founding) one probably is.
-* Being on the old HELP NOTABLES is not enough to warrant an article.
-'''When in doubt, always err on the side of not creating an adventurer article.''' It is (and should be) a major achievement to be written into the pages of history and is not for everyone. If you're still unsure and think a person warrants a separate article, seek approval from one of the divine monitoring the wiki first.
