Start Here: Operating Nysa
Understand the shared shell, the main identities, and the safest first steps.
Start Here
Nysa is a shared realm for discovering people, places, Quests, Events, Cards, Offerings, and the relationships between them. The application uses one shell, so navigation, search, identity, inspectors, and media remain consistent as you move.
Know the four identity words
- An Account signs in.
- An Avatar represents a member.
- An Entity is a governed subject such as a House or Event.
- A Card presents a person, object, or system consistently.
Authorized members should read the Restricted Manual entry (unavailable) before operating on behalf of a House or Event.
Your first pass
- Open Character Home to see the safest current next action.
- Use the shell search to find a route, Card, or Manual entry.
- Browse the Compendium and open Cards through the shared inspector.
- If you are signed in, confirm the identity and Acting-As context shown by the shell.
- If an action is blocked, read Troubleshooting Access and Blocked Actions.
Which starting point fits
| Situation | Start with |
|---|---|
| Visiting or observing | Compendium, Quests, Events, and the public Manual |
| Ordinary member | Character Home and the Member Daily Playbook |
| House or Event steward | Identity and Authority, then the exact Workbench |
| Administrator | Operator Daily Playbook and Operator Command Center |
A safe operating rule
The route that owns a system owns its live truth and mutations. The Manual tells you what to inspect and why; it does not duplicate balances, readiness, participant progress, or operational warnings.
