NEWS CHARACTER

The following information is intended to help you while you are developing your

PC.

All characters will require application and approval, in the chargen process

(Anwethias Waiting Room - OOC) you will be developing the characters

background (+help +bg), that is the application process used here. Take your

time with your background, once its submitted and approved thats where your

PC will start RP. If your submitted background does not include something than

your character will have to start learning it and evolve that skill in RP.

RP will be primarily focused in Carraig and Caer Glas. Your character or your

characters family will be FROM someplace in Liosliath and will have clan ties,

your character will need a reason to be in Carraig or Caer Glas. That leaves a

wide swath of character opportunities, Carraig is the largest city, is opening

back up after Garragg occupation as the largest/busiest trading port of

Liosliath. In addition, Caer Glas is the Thanes keep where Liosliath is ruled

from.

Clans - Five major clans are defined (Gulban, Docartaig, Duthchas, Melaghlin,

McDaid) there are also minor clans. The five major clans have control all the

land in Liosliath. In history there were multiple clans in Liosliath who had

land, over time the smaller clans (and lands) were either taken over or

absorbed by the larger and more powerful clans. The smaller clan became part of

the major clan. The minor clan head may have been left to take care of what was

his/hers lands, though those lands would be the Pennaeths.

Note on the roster, the Ducs all are of a minor clan, +info *name will show

you something like Clan: Riabhaigh who had joined with clan Docartaig. Minor

Clans allows PCs to have their own surname and be part of one of the major

clans.

Holding Lands - Nobles are the ones who hold (own) lands. Non-nobles may have

stewardship (not own) a piece of land which was granted by a Thane, Pennaeth or

Barwyn as a special reward for services rendered. Check with Staff if you

intend for your PC to have a land stewardship.

We are not allowing characters from the other countries at this time, when that

changes - which is expected - we will let everyone know via a bboard 1

announcement.

The theme here does not currently support non-human PCs.

Minimum age for PCs is 16.

With age comes experience. A 16 year old is not going to best someone with more

years and experience.

Read the Current Day Bulletin Board (+bbread 2) especially the later posts

which will give you a idea of recent events.

If you are interested in nobles or high level characters - see +roster also

read the FAQ in the waiting room.

Barywn is a noble whose direct liege is a Duc. Each Pennaeth has two Duc

postions, each Duc has two Barwyn positions. Barywns are available for player

creation and are not roster characters. Speak with staff if you want to create

a Barwyn.

Carraig need merchant characters of all types. As a plus, merchants will have

rooms. Merchants can easily create role play through selling, buying and

interaction with other merchants and customers.

While the society is feudal, the barrier between noble and non-noble is not RP

prohibiting.

Complexions - The people of Nosizwe range in complexion from fair to dark

skinned. Native Liosliathians are typically fair skinned, natives from the

eastern portion, being Keranna and Atecot tend to be darked skinned. The mid

western area, to include parts of Garragg, Veni and Alba tend to olive

complexioned. The plains tribes in the north range from very light to vary dark

skinned.

What will be frowned on during the application process and will slow up your

approval- Characters that simply appear and no one knows anything about. Your

background application does reflect your theme understanding.

Ley Riders and Guardians are reserved characters. As a guideline - applications

for Ley Rider or Guardian will only be considered after a player has been

actively RPing for a period of 4 months.

Magic - if your character will have magic, during the background application

process (see +help +bg) you must have in addition to your characters general

background a section specific to magic. That section will define the magic your

character has, how he/she got magic, what is his/her skill level, and two

instances of using magic in ic terms. Any character with magic will require

Magic Staff approval.
