Tibia has seventeen towns, all of them being a hometown. A hometown is the town you respawn in after you have died. Nowadays your first hometown in Tibia is Dawnport but you can chose to start playing in Rookgaard instead. When you are level 8 you can leave Dawnport or Rookgaard. If you are in Dawnport you will choose a vocation and a hometown on mainland, otherwise if you are in Rookgaard you will be teleported to Island of Destiny by The Oracle first then there you will choose a vocation and a hometown on the mainland.
Your choice of hometown isn't permanent and can easily be changed whenever you want to. All you have to do is go to the town and find the Portal of Citizenship. If you enter it, the town you are in will become your new hometown.
In the past, it was necessary to know the hometown of any character you wanted to send a Letter or Parcel. This is not necessary anymore with the implementation of the global Inbox (with Updates/9.7).
Your hometown is listed on your character page on Tibia.com.
Dawnport[]
Dawnport is the first town you will see. When you create a new character you will appear here, or after the Flash Client Tutorial if you use the Flash Client. It replaced Rookgaard as the beginner island.
Rookgaard[]
Rookgaard was for a long time the first town you would come to with every new character. Now, you can arrive here by talking to an NPC at Dawnport. The term rooking refers to the act of killing a character until it reaches level 5, which resets the character including its level and residency (which was Rookgaard but is now Dawnport). Here is a map of Rookgaard.
