Kingdom of Norland

[Narthok 10416]

Please answer the following questions with as much information as you possibly can. If your charter is accepted or denied, you will be notified and we will move to the next stage of the process. 

 

1. What is the name of your nation / group? What kind of culture do they have? How long have they existed (in real-life time): Kingdom of Norland, Early English Anglo Saxon / Norman mixed with some viking elements. Been around in its various incarnations for about 3 years now.

 

2. Do you already have land? If so, where is it? Please provide the names of any tiles or regions that you own: Have land in south western Tahn neighbouring the High Elves. Nation currently resides on tiles A4 - A5 with the settlements of Krag and Ostermark.

 

3. Please link any of your groups accepted charters below: Land was acquired through rp deals and the like. @Avar / Dlands residence / Polaris / Krag. Ostermark charter is here 

 

4. What are your goals for nation status? This can be anything- remember, this is a hidden sub-forum. Your intentions and goals will not be publicly known. Goals are to expand the Kingdom of Norland and to secure the borders. Norlanders desire to convert other humans to Allfatherism and ensure that undead and various heretical magics are wiped out. We are also trying to pursue an event line in the catacombs under the Krag wherein we fight and interact with reincarnated / corrupted corpses of Norlandic dead.

 

5. Approximately how many members are in your group? How many of them are actively playing? Be honest! If I were to visit your capital city on any given day and at any given time, how many people could I expect to see? How about during peak hours? And what about during the "dead" hours? around 40 active members in our group (our chat is around 50 and doesn't include a good portion of our players). Capital has a steady constant of 5 - 10 with peak hours rallying 20 whenever we do a catacomb event / mead hall event / raid. Dead hours would probably be around 4 in the capital with leaders and whatnot working on LC builds. We are an NA timezone based nation so our cities are usually empty during NA night times. 

 

6. Who will be leading your nation as nation lead / king / etc.? Deanobambino will be serving as King of Norland having been the eldest surviving male of the last Ruric King's offspring. He is also the most legitimate heir being a member of the Eiriksson bloodline.

Hi there! The administration team met on Tuesday, 2/7, to discuss various odds and ends. A part of our meeting was dedicated to discussing nations and charters. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that your group is being offered fledgling Nation status. The perks that were previously announced two~ weeks ago are still what is being offered, sans the protective region. That is no longer a perk offered to nations / kingdoms but a proper casus belli is still required for war. 

 

If you're still interested in going forward with this (and I'm sure you are!), I will be around from 3 PM Friday -> onwards and most/all of Saturday evening. Contact me via Skype (squibbssss) or Discord (Squibbss#6449) to begin the process. Any other administrator should also be available to help as well. If you've any questions or concerns, please contact me and I'll help you the best I can. 

 

Once your 250x250 region is set up as well as your tile, you'll begin the activity checking process. During this time, your nation will undergo sporadic activity checks. This requires no input from you other than actively roleplaying in your capital/settlement, something I'm sure you'll be doing regardless. At the end of the activity check, you'll be presented with a fee that must be paid should you wish to become a full-fledged nation. Failure to pay this fee will result in your region being shrunk down to its original state pre-Fledgling Nation status, as well as a revoking of your tile ownership. The price determined will be something easily obtainable during the two month period- it is just set up in this way as to deter random groups attempting to secure large amounts of land for little effort.

Additionally, access to a "fast travel" hub is also being offered to human nations. This is to provide fair and balanced access to all human nations to prevent one nation unfairly gaining an advantage and a larger share of the playerbase. This will likely be set-up in the near future via other administrators. You are not forced to have your nation a part of this fast travel hub but it is advised. The fast travels will lead from the hub to your capital city- it is not yet certain if we want the fast travels to be one way, or back-and-forth but with a longer cooldown/travel time. 

 

The fast travel hub will be located right off of the Malin/Spawn Islands boat to Tahn. It will be a small, "NPC" village- it (likely) won't be used by players and will possibly house shops and for-sure house fast travels to the various human nations.

Unfortunately your nation application will not be passed at this time. Your activity checks were not up to par, often seeing no one online in your region. Do not fret though! You have 1 more month to try and boost those numbers. On the 25th of April we'll re-evaluate your status as a nation and get back to you. If you have any questions message me here, in game, on skype or on discord.

Due to lack of activity this aspiring nation application is denied. Additionally, the tile granted at the start of the trial has also been revoked but any already existing regions that have been built upon will remain. You can reapply in 1 month should you so wish to attempt to become a nation once again.
