Question: Why is the server 21+ if it's mostly SFW?
Answer: Even though we're mostly SFW (aside from the ID gated channels),
we want to keep a mature community free from brain rot.
Question: Do I have to subscribe to use certain channels?
Answer: Most channels are free. A few are exclusive to our supporters as a thank you.
Question: Why are selfies and self-promotion channels level-locked?
Answer: This protects our members from spammers and ensures users engage with the community before promoting themselves.
Question: Why was I or my friend banned?
Answer: Bans are only issued for rule violations or toxic behavior and are a decision
we never take lightly. If you don't act like an asshat, you won't be banned.
Question: Can I appeal a ban?
Answer: With rare exceptions for staff error, bans are final.
This policy is necessary to maintain a safe and supportive community.

They say Black Briar isn't a place you find on a map.
It's a place you stumble upon when you're already lost.
Tucked away in the forgotten folds of Old Europe, shrouded in a perpetual, miasmic fog, the city is a living relic, a wound in the world that never quite healed. It is a city of skeletal spires, slick cobblestone streets, and shadows that cling to the ancient stone like a second skin. And everywhere, growing in the cracks, over the rooftops, and in the hearts of its people, are the twisting, unnaturally sharp thorns of the black briars that give the city its name.The Founding: The Scar
Black Briar was not built by human hands. It grew.
Ages ago, a war beyond mortal comprehension raged not on Earth, but in the realms above and below. An Angel of immense power was struck down, and as it fell, it tore a hole through the fabric of reality. It did not die, but it did not live. Its fractured Grace bled into the soil, a raw, paradoxical energy both holy and profane. This event, known only as "the Sundering" created a permanent wound in the world, a place where the veil between realms is shredded thin. This wound is the heart of the city, known as The Scar.The Scar's energy saturated the land. It drew in creatures of shadow and light, power and instinct. The very flora was corrupted, giving rise to the city’s infamous black briars, plants that feed on supernatural energy and bleed a dark, viscous sap. Mortals who wandered too close were twisted by the ambient magic, their descendants becoming the first human inhabitants of the strange new settlement that coalesced around The Scar: Black Briar.
