The Module Cerea is based on an island Named Cerea in a Paper And Pen Roleplaying World that was first created in 1988 and has been the base of adventures since then. So there is quite a lot of background material. It has been heavily influenced by ICE’s Shadow world.
There is a lot of world info in in the Wiki the world events forum and the books in the bookshops.
As the setting is not FR the Gods, Races and such are quite different.
The basic background of the place is a struggle of life vs. unlife, so those using negative energy and undead are quickly categorised as evil. You should atleast read the "Treatise on unlife" and the "Myaasia" books either in the wiki, or in the bookshop in the markets. If you intend to play evil characters, please note that they are not suitable for most of the quests.
The basic Genre of the module is Roleplay. Meaning a lot of roleplaying, but with a fair ammount of action in between the long intriques.
The DMs will be online in the evenings(European Time) quite often to run quests, and on weekends also daytime.
