Tibia has fourteen towns, some of them being a hometown. A hometown is the town you respawn in after you have died. Your first hometown in Tibia is Rookgaard. When you are level 8 or higher and leave Rookgaard you will be asked, by The Oracle, to go to Island of Destiny. There you'll choose a vocation and a hometown.
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.
To send parcels and letters you had to know the hometown of the character who would receive the parcel/letter. This is not necessary anymore with the implementation of the global Inbox (during Updates/9.7).
Your hometown is listed on your character page on Tibia.com.
