Welcome to the Fallen Sword Forums.

We hope you enjoy your time here discussing the game and getting to know your fellow gamers. The primary function of this message board is to provide an area for player interaction and also to submit feedback to the development and publishing teams behind Fallen Sword. Below follows a list of rules, these rules are here to provide a common environment which all members of the Fallen Sword community can enjoy. Some of the rules may seem restrictive to some. The internet, however, is big enough for everyone to create their own niche where they can group with like minded people. This particular niche, the Fallen Sword community, is bigger and so the rules must be more precise in order to accommodate everyone.
