Born with the Almia surname, Moirea was adopted by Luceano Delacroix who met her while she was wandering the streets selling empathic services for cash. She took on his name and embraced the cause of the Church of Aldauth wholeheartedly. Now Moirea feels she has found her true niche in the realms, even if she does have a large, complicated family tree.

Creating a New Page

There are three ways to create a new page.

  1. Click on a redlink - link to a page that hasn't been created - add information, preview and save.
  2. Search for the title of the page you want to create, add information, preview and save.
  3. Edit the URL in your browser address bar to contain the title of the page you wish to create.
Example: http://www.elanthipedia.org/wiki/New Page Name

An important point to make is that capitalization matters in creating page names. The first letter will be capitalized automatically, but please capitalize all appropriate words in your title.
