'''Roleplay''' is a special part of gameplay for more experienced players in the game. Roleplay effects the game's world and often times communities inside of the wider Tradelands community. It is often about factions going to war over islands in the [[Locations|Grand Isles]] region, but there are special types of Roleplay events that happen, such as expeditions, [[Factions|NPC Faction]] wars and other smaller events like the [[Community:Inyolan Auction (Aug 2021)|Inyolan Auction.]] All player factions are able to participate in roleplay except [[Hallengard]], with NPC factions such as [[Burkeland]] and [[Purshovia]] being playable in special events.
