 Even when swords are sheathed and spells are silenced, your character’s story continues. The world of Volaire persists between events, and many mechanics, opportunities, and progressions occur outside of direct combat. This page summarizes all **out-of-combat systems** relevant to downtime, crafting, research, rituals, and character growth.

+===== 🗨️ Forum Roleplay & Interactions =====
+The [[https://volairelarp.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=home&defaultmenu=141&Itemid=140|Volaire Forums]] are a vital tool for both **in-play** and **out-of-play** communication between events. They serve as an official channel for:
+  * Character interactions and roleplay development
+  * Posting and responding to in-play letters, announcements, and guild notices
+  * Coordinating trades, services, or requests for downtime actions
+  * Staff updates, clarifications, and event-related announcements
+  * Player-to-player discussions, theorycrafting, and creative collaboration
+All players are strongly encouraged to visit the forums regularly. It is not uncommon for major plot clues, character prompts, or FOIP leads to appear in forum posts. Missed posts may result in missed opportunities—so stay connected!
