# Rookgaard

**Rookgaard** is an island located in the bay of Thais and the location newly created players arrive to learn basic Kingdom Swap gameplay before progressing to the less-forgiving Mainland.

Players that reach level 8 or 9 may talk to The Oracle to receive a vocation and access to the Mainland. Some players choose to stay on Rookgaard permanently, a decision that significantly limits a character's potential.

Among others, you can trade Tibia items, advertise in-game events, seek characters for a quest or a hunting group, find members for your guild or look for somebody to help you with something.
