Questions
Frequently asked
How do I become a resident?
Subscribe on YouTube or follow on Instagram. Every subscriber and follower counts in the population shown at the start of each episode.
Is sending a letter the same as being a resident?
No. Anyone can build and download a card. You only become a real resident when you subscribe or follow, and only residents can be chosen to appear by name in the episodes.
I subscribed. Why am I not in the video yet?
Named characters come from letters, and they arrive a few at a time so each one gets a moment.
Can I choose what my character does?
You pick the trade. The story decides the rest — and the comments vote on the big moments.
How do the votes work?
When the kingdom reaches a big moment, a vote opens on the Votes page and in the YouTube community. The winning choice happens in the story.
Can my character die?
The North is cruel and the story does not protect anyone. What happens to your character is part of the fiction.
Can I have two characters?
No. One letter per person and per @.
Can I remove my character?
Yes, at any time. See the terms & privacy.
Can I change my letter later?
Send a new letter with the same @ before your character appears. The newest one counts. After that, it's history.
Do I need to follow on YouTube and Instagram?
No. Either one makes you a resident. But following on both gives your letter double chance to be chosen to appear in the episodes.
What is in the North?
Nobody knows. Nobody who went has come back.
