Should this include: the journey through the Portal of Fate, the collegium, and life as a novice within a guild/being rogue?

Who knows?

Whatever people think newbies need to know. What would you have liked as a newbie? The only thing it shouldn't be is really really long or exhaustive. It'd be nice if it had answers to "what should I do now?" that true newbies need, but not so long it makes them recoil and say "maybe I'll go play Xbox instead".
