The Adventurer

The Adventurer is the term roleplayers and roleplaying characters use to refer to the character everyone plays in the normal game. This is the person who completed all the events in quests (like releasing Azzanadra and killing the Pest Queen) and is the owner of all unique items like the Godsword or the Ring of Charos. For obvious reasons, many characters are confused about the gender of The Adventurer.

It's a very frowned upon practice for a player to claim that his/her character was the individual who performed critical events in quests - should people frequently engage in this practice, then there would be seventeen characters in one city who all single-handedly retrieved Arrav's heart and blew up King Tyras. It would also create the problem of everyone and their brother owning the one and only godsword that ever existed on the Gielenorian plane.

It is accepted, however, for a particularly enterprising, daring character to claim to have met The Adventurer or have helped in an event. For example, if a void knight claimed to be one of the men who helped The Adventurer defeat the pest queen, it would be a legitimate character description. Essentially, The Adventurer would be treated as any other notable NPC in the game like the Signature Heroes, Dionysius, or Wizard Traiborne.
