Originally founded by Ser Roy “Uthor” Silverblade and named in honour of St Godfrey, the savior of mankind, the Knights of the Red Dragon was the overarching order that encompassed all knights within the empire. Commanded by the Grand Knight and divided into large scale Chapters, the Knights of the Red Dragon were the pride of the Empire, defending the weak and innocent with honour and upholding a code of chivalry, to which they were bound.

Over generations, the knights fell into disarray, some even bringing disgrace and shame to their houses and their country. Many, however, stayed true to the core beliefs of knighthood and held their position with integrity and honour. The time has come again for all the knights of the realm to come together and become a beacon of justice and an example of chivalry once more. Under the Noble Ser Artikus Silverblade, the Knights of Renatus will once again fly high and bring honour and glory to the Kingdom.

Knight Captain

The title of Knight Captain is the highest rank a Knight can achieve within the Order. The Knight Captain is the head of the Order of the Red Dragon. He has total command of all unaffiliated knights. He is in charge of both promotions and demotions, given the power to grant knighthoods to Knight Errants and Squires alike. They are the chiefest example of honour and chivalry and are the epitome of goodness. They are referred to with the title of Noble Ser.

Current: Noble Ser Artikus Silverblade the Fierce

Knight Lieutenant

The Knight Lieutenant is a very prestigious and high ranking senior knight position. There are only ever as many Knight Lieutenants as there are Knight Chapters, with the head of each chapter being granted the title (with the exception of the Red Dragon). They have the power to full command over every knight within their chapter, during peace and war time and are expected to ensure that their knights uphold the code and stay true to their oaths. Knight Lieutenants are referred to as Great Sers.

Current: Great Ser Mizu Silverblade the Bold

Great Ser Thomas Delaney

Knight

Knights of the Red Dragon have ascended to full knighthood, having gone through their ceremony and said their vows, swearing their lives to the Knight’s Code and the Knight Captain. They are an example to the world, of upstanding and honourable men. In times of war, Knights of the Red Dragon form under the command of the Knight Captain into a cavalry and ride into glorious battle, to bring honour to their Order. Knights are referred to as Ser and take on a knightly title that best represents them.

Knight Errant

Knight Errants have recently graduated from being a squire, having paid their dues and learnt all they can learn about what it means to be a Knight. Now released into the world as Knight Errants, they await their moment of opportunity and heroism, to prove their skill and that they are indeed worthy of carrying the prestigious title of Knight of the Red Dragon. Chapters are able to promote squires to Knight Errant themselves. They carry the title of Ser, regardless and are still expected to adhere strictly to the Knight’s Code.

Squire

Squires are very young prospective knights-in-training, bound to a Knight as a squire, they are expected to take in all the knowledge the Knight can pass on. They are to repay their Knight’s kindness by assisting him with his armor, accompanying him on errands and in Tourneys, as well as any other task the Knight sees fit. Between the ages of 16-18, the squire may graduate to the rank of Knight Errant and begin their journey to knighthood. A squire will take on the colours of their Knight until they are Knighted.

----

A Knight shall live by honour, for glory, and guard the honour of fellow knights.

Honour The Creator and maintain His Church.

Keep the faith and act in righteousness.

He shall serve his liege lord valorously and with conviction.

And persevere to the end in any enterprise begun and never turn his back upon an equal foe.

----

A Knight shall refrain from the wanton giving of offence and despise pecuniary reward.

Give succour to widows and orphans and regard the honor of women.

He shall offer that which is not needed, to those who are needy.

And safeguard the helpless and uphold the weak.

----

A Knight shall respect those placed in authority but fight for the welfare of all.

Abstain from Injustice, cruelty and deceit.

He shall be vigilant and show courage, even in the face of evil.

Resolve not with swords what can be with words.

And at all times speak the truth, even if faced with death.

----

In their blood the creator’s will shall be written.

Edict of the Order of the Red Dragon

By Order of his Majesty, King Maric II Varodyr and drafted by the Knight Captain, Noble Ser Artikus Silverblade, the Knights of Renatus are to be reorganized under the ancient banner of the Red Dragon, as it was in the time of St Godfrey. The reformations and changes are explained herein:

Section I.

Reformation

-The Knights of Renatus are to be reorganized under the banner of the Red Dragon, reforming the century old Order of the Red Dragon.

-All knights, not knighted by the King, a previous monarch or a previous or current Knight Captain or equivalent title shall be reduced to the title of Knight-Errant.

-All knights of the kingdom are to be sworn to a landed liege Lord. Knight-Errants are exempt from this. Chapter-sworn knights are sworn to their order, the order’s code acting as a Liege equivalent. (This does not override the Knight’s Code of Chivalry.)

Section II.

Order of the Red Dragon

-The Order of the Red Dragon is to be reformed as the overarching order of Knights, to encompass all Knights of Renatus and their respective Orders.

-All Knightly Orders within the Kingdom of Renatus are to be disbanded and their knights represented by a Chapter within the Order of the Red Dragon. (Section III.)

-Members of Red Dragon that become nobility within the Kingdom of Renatus retain their Knighthood and position within the Red Dragon. Their Knighthood is not hereditary.

-The Order of the Dragon was a century and a half old order of knights, founded by Ser Roy “Uthor” Silverblade, legendary knight of St Godfrey’s era.

-Bound together by a Code of Chivalry and a sense of honor, the knights of old rode about the land, defending the weak and combatting evil wherever they found it.

-The Order of the Red Dragon has been briefly refounded, numerous times throughout history under various monarchs, in ill attempts to recreate the glory of Ser Uthor’s order.

-On the 4th of The Deep Cold, 1485, Ser Artikus Silverblade, refounded the order alongside many reformations to once again return honour to the Knights of Renatus and bring a glory to the Kingdom, reminiscent of the time of St Godfrey.

Section III.

Chapters

-The Order of the Red Dragon shall be organized into various chapters.

-All Knightly orders within the Kingdom of Renatus shall be disbanded and in the future should one be established, shall not be recognized as legitimate.

-All Knightly orders will now be represented by a chapter, with each chapter’s head receiving the rank of Knight Lieutenant within the Order of the Red Dragon.

-Chapters may be formed at the behest of the Knight Captain, provided the chapter is formed with a minimum of 3 unaffiliated knights of oren (not including it’s founder) and 15 enlisted combatants.

-Chapters may be formed at the behest of the King with a minimum of 4 unaffiliated knights.

-All knights unaffiliated with any chapters shall remain Knights of Renatus and Knights of the RedDragon.

Section IV.

War

-In times of war, the Knight Captain may summon all the Knights of Renatus to form an elite cavalry unit, commanded by the Knight Captain. All unaffiliated knights, both junior and senior are compelled to answer the call.

-All unaffiliated knight-errants will also answer the Knight Captain’s call in times of war, participating in a light cavalry or infantry alongside the Knights of Renatus.

-All Chapter-sworn knights are exempt from the formation of the cavalry and are expected to serve their Knight Captain and chapter Lieutenants with honour.

Section V.

Knightly Conduct

-All Knights are expected to strictly follow the new and revised Knight’s Code of Chivalry (as written by Ser Maric II Varodyr, 7th of The Amber Cold, 1470), Chapter-sworn knights are not exempt.

-As knight-errants have not yet reached full knighthood, they are not held as tightly to the Knight’s Code of Chivalry as Knights of Renatus are. However, violation of the Code will severely damage their chances of reaching true knighthood.

-Squires are not held to the Knight’s Code of Chivalry, however violation of the Code will severely damage their chances of reaching true knighthood and may even result in an immediate discarding by their Knight.

-Violation of the code will result in a court marshaling before the Knight Captain of the RedDragon, a Bishop and a number of senior Knights of Renatus.

-In extreme circumstances, violation of the code will result in a trial before the King of Renatus and the Knight Captain of the Red Dragon (if applicable).

Section VI.

Honours & Powers

-The King has the right to grant knighthood to any man he sees fit within the Kingdom. He also has the right to strip the titles and honours of any Knight of Renatus, Chapter-sworn or no.

-The Knight Captain has the power to strip the titles and honours of any Knight of Renatus, Chapter-sworn or no, with sufficient reason and proof.

-The Knight Captain has the power to court-martial a Knight of Renatus and hold a trial, provided a bishop or high ranking church official is present.

-Knight Lieutenants have the right to full command over their Chapter-sworn knights and enlisted soldiers. A Knight Lieutenants may not command their knights to disobey the Knight Captain.

-Knight Lieutenants may not command other Knight Lieutenants, however on occasion may give commands to lesser Knights, provided they do not contradict any commands given by the Knight Captain.

-Knight Lieutenants henceforth are referred to as Senior Knights, have a right to command Knights of Renatus within their Chapter, provided their commands do not contradict the commands of the Knight Captain.

-Senior Knights have the right to an estate within the capital or on the land of their liege lord, sufficiently appropriate to their status. This does not apply to Chapter-sworn knights.

-A Knight Errant has the right to serve alongside their knight and bear their colors until they are provided with full knighthood.

-A Knight Errant has the right to serve their chapter in whatever way their Knight Lieutenant sees fit.

-A Knight Errant, that is not Chapter-sworn, has the right to serve whichever Lord they please as a “House Knight” and bear their colors until they are provided full knighthood.

-A Knight Errant, that is not Chapter-sworn, has the right to temporarily serve Lords of the Kingdom as a Hedge Knight, their term of servitude governed by an agreement between them and Lord.

By order of the Knight Captain, Noble Ser Artikus Silverblade the Fierce, all the Knights of Renatus are to once again take part in a knight’s census.

All Knights who joined King Maric in his establishment of the Free Kingdom of Renatus in the wake of Carrion rule are to fill out this census. Those that refuse to take part in the census shall not be recognised as Knights of Renatus until they do. Those that do will benefit from the full honours bestowed upon a Knight of Renatus and be added to the roster of the Order of the Red Dragon, with the appropriate rank granted to them.

The census is to determine under what circumstances the various knights were knighted, their affiliations and to determine their correct rank within the Order of the Red Dragon. If a knight has a squire under them, they are to provide information regarding the squire beneath their own. Senior Knights are to refer to themselves as Great Ser. Only senior knights may refer to themselves with a knightly title (examples below).

Just like on his last app, I support this. I didn't even know him for very long before I decided he was worth supporting on his ET app. He always makes the roleplay feel quite natural and I believe he could likely play out events that would feel meaningful and immersive to the players.

Glad to hear it!

Just got unbanned for hacking, probably should leave it a while but nonetheless he is a very capable role player.

Just one of the things I am doing to right a wrong and give back through something I've always wanted to do. And thanks.

I've only known susitsu for a short time, but already I have grown to enjoy his roleplay and contrary to what other's have said he's always had a great attitude in my dealings with him. I think he his definitely worthy of being on the ET and would bring some great ideas and event proposals to the table that are inclusive for all and fun for the player base. He definitely has my support. +1

Have you ever been banned or received a strike? If so, link the report.

Yes. There is no link to a report though.

Why do you want to be both a builder and an actor for the ET?

I want to be both a builder and actor because I think it'll give me the opportunity to not only build the environment and layout for an event but also interact with those that come across my work which would be a lot of fun. Plus as I am quite adequate with role-play I think it'd definitely help me enjoy LotC a bit more too.

What are some of your most treasured builds? (screenshots if possible):

This one was a gatehouse build I did on a friends server a while back.

Do you hold / have you held any other staff positions?

Ex-Application Team Member, Ex-Media Team Member, Ex-Guide Team Member

What are your characters? Are you willing to sacrifice any to become a Event member?

Artikus Silverblade, Krav Ireheart, Charles Tarus

Yes I am.

Pick three of the following building styles, and show us a build, of yours, that corresponds to each choice.(terraforming, organic, medieval, high fantasy, underground)

Organic/Ruins 

Medieval

Underground

[This was an old build I did Dwarven style a couple years ago. Since then my Dwarven builds have improved greatly and I can do much better.]

Are you an independent builder, and are you capable of handling all aspects of a build?

I am capable of handling all aspects of a build.

What race / group do you think your events would best cater to? If none in particular, give an example of the type of group that your events would entertain.

Humans particularly as at this point in time I don't believe they get as many events catered towards them as the other races. 

What do you believe are key factors for a successful event?

​Organization: Without this key factor every event would basically be a bust. If there's no timeline, no background, no understanding of what is to go on in the event, well then there's basically not going to be one. It is absolutely vital that every event has all the kinks worked out ahead of time so as to provide the players with the best quality roleplay and event that the ET can offer. An event needs to be organized with of course a start time, but also a timeframe is good so that those participating and especially those helping can know whether or not they would have to maybe leave in the middle of the event which could throw everything off balance. It's the real minor details that take a great event and have it crumble in minutes. The only way to keep that from happening is to know exactly what, when, who, and how things are supposed to go down. 

Communication: This doesn't seem like something that'd be necessary, but in reality it is one of the things that can make or break an event. When it comes to those on the ET who are involved in the event it is extremely helpful to have open lines of communication between all members so that any bumps or mishaps can be ironed out in an efficient and thorough manner as well as it allows for the event to progress at a more practical rate if questions are able to be asked and answered quickly.

What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team? Are you knowledgeable in lore or great at organizing?

To be completely honest I would have to say I am really good at organizing and believe I could really do some good for the ET and when it comes to lore I am very knowledgable with human lore in particular.

Why do you want to be part of the ET?

Since joining the LOTC community back in 2012 I have tried to contribute and help out wherever and whenever possible. Through my time being on the server I have had the great privilege of serving on the Application, Media, and Guide Teams. I think this has given me a lot of experience helping out players and understanding what it means to be a part of the staff teams of LOTC and being able to realize what things need to get done and in a timely manner. I want to be part of the ET because I want to help improve the roleplay and experience within the races, providing the community with fun things to do when the server seems a little dull. Personally, I see a huge lack of events for humans as of now and if I am accepted onto the ET would focus my efforts towards whipping up some great events for the people I think have needed them the most. I also think with my timezone and availabilities I will be able to be on when those who generally luck out, are able to interact and participate in an event.

Create three distinct RP scenarios/events based on LOTC lore that you would organize. These are pitches to the Managers and Ouity, not to the community. Note: Not all of the group must be handled at once. Eg: 20+ people via 5 person increments in a dungeon.

1) For 1-3 person.

A group or fellowship ventures out into the the woods in search of their fallen brother after being chased away by a Dread Knight who they happened to cross paths with. On their journey they come across small encampment rich with fields of food and wealth fit for that of anyone longing for just the key necessities. This area would be claimable and attainable for those who saw the true beauty within the area. From first glance one could tell the land was blessed with prosperity. As they explored the area they would find their fallen brother at the edge of the plot wounded but still alive. As they take him to a bed in one of the tents they open the chest to find many assorted potions resting at the bottom that they marvel at and quickly use to heal their friend.

2) For a group of 5-10.

A chapter of Knights takes on a crusade to go recover a stolen or lost relic that could hold the key to who the next heir to the throne of the humans should be. Along the way they encounter a series of obstacles meant to test their diligence, honor, and skill in the face of danger. These obstacles would consist of clues that take them to an old ruined castle that deep within its dark dungeons crawling with now foul creatures resides a powerful enchantment that can protect you from even the worst of evil along with a book that holds the next clue to a temple of sorts, a meeting place, where kings of old would meet to discuss matters of great importance between their kingdoms. Here they would find a map detailing the location to where the relic would be hidden along with an ancient bow used to shoot flaming arrows to light big piles of signaling fires to let the other kingdoms know when to meet. After that they would follow the map to a big cave hidden high up in the mountains that would require them to fight off a pack of wolves that guard the area in order to gain entrance to the cave. Once accomplished they would enter the cave only to find two actual guards of a different nature (actors) which attack the group to keep the secret safe. If the Knights prove their worth and succeed they would gain entrance and find at the back of the cave. Here they would find a sword of great power with the actual name of the heir inscribed along the hilt and within the chest also a set of armor only fit for the heir.

3) For a group of 20+.

A human city, bustling with activity of the marketplace and shops on a overcast and cloudy day, is interrupted as rain starts to come down. At first the rain isn't bad and people continue on with their lives, but it slowly starts to pick up. Within minutes the rain is so bad that the tunnels under the city are filling up faster then they can empty and they start to overflow. The streets turn from puddles to streams and the water starts to damage the market stalls and leak into the shops and homes. The guard of the city jump into action as they try to board up shops and route the water out of the city and into the river. Soon the citizens see that the guard is outmanned and everyone jumps in to pitch in. The rain keeps coming and as the last of the shops are boarded up the streams turns into gushing waterways. Seeing the predicament of his city the King decides to try and cheer his people up. So he invites the entire city into the banquet hall and holds an impromptu feast for all to attend. The people of the city laugh and tell stories as they enjoy each other's company and friendships are made. As the storm finally quells outside the people go to see how much damage was done, but with joyful spirits and bellies full they set to work opening back up and repairing any damage.  

How long does it take for you to complete a build?

Depends on the build. Anywhere from a hour to a couple days.

Tell us how you plan on constructing a large build, a medium build, and a small build.

I plan on constructing all my builds the same way. I will gather the resources needed for each build and then either go work kinks out on single player and build it there first or build off the cuff.

Additional details (Do you know how to Voxel? World Edit? Craftbook? Etc...):

Some World Edit.

How long do you plan to stay in the ET?

Around 6 months or so.

Tell me a trick about building (eg: floating torches, custom heads)

Not really many "tricks" but something I like to do is make it look realistic so say if there's a heavy sign you put some sort of support on top of just the fence that would normally hold an item on the end.

Tell me what you want from the ET.

I want to be able to have the opportunity to build for the community and provide a suitable environment for events and so forth.

The project I need done first is outside of LotC but now that you mention it I also need something don for LotC as well. If your interested please contact me on skype at tristin.spacy1

Howdy LotC,

 I am currently looking for someone who you could do small project for me and put together a logo that I need. I already have the clip art and some ideas so it shouldn't take too much, but I just need someone who can make it all come together. Let me know if your the right one for the job!

Glad to hear it! Thanks susitsu. I appreciate the uplifting support.

Cool guy, think he would do well. 

Thanks! You're a cool guy too.

You haven't been a pillar of maturity or sportsmanship. I'd -1 this if it were, say, a FM app or a GM app, but judging on the quality of your RP alone you're most certainly ET material. Good luck, you have my ambivalence and maybe support.

I definitely agree i've had my fair share of mistakes and I respect your opinion. Thank you for the feedback as it is always helpful.

Application team scum, begone and never darken these doors again.

Jk -1

I dont see you as someone who will actually make an effort to put forth events tbh. Your rp would get in the way. Being a staff member on the forums and ingame are totally different things and I have yet to see you prove you can do it.

Just my observations so far and feel free to prove me wrong because I really really really want ET who will do things. The ET that do are currently a minority.

To be honest I totally agree with you and plan, if accepted, to be involved in at least one event every 1-2 weeks. I find lots of enjoyment in just even surprising the players online with fun spontaneous event. So in the end thanks for the advice and I hope to prove to you that I can be everything you are looking for in a ET member.

- House Lore -

The house of the Silverblades had once been a great family of nobles who were very important to the humans and the elves. The family mostly made of humans and half elves had a very important position of power in how Oren would be in the future. Their members had taken high seats in the government, which had made them very well known. As time went on the family had come to a conflict, some members of the family had decided that they should move to North and defend the people there being attacked by the monsters which back then had no name, but were known for their powers of being able to shoot “Streaks of light” down from the sky. The Silverblade family divided as some stayed in Oren, as the nobles they were brought up to is, and some had gone to The Great North where they would do their best to ensure the protection of the people there.

When the family split this had left the Silverblades of Oren in a vulnerable state, the once noble family had lost many positions of power that had kept them at the top. But, with the leaving of some members in high positions the Silverblades had nearly lost their name and would need to gain it back.

As time went on a battle had erupted between the humans and the orcs, and the Silverblades had been chosen to lead the humans into battle with their great military strength and strategy. The head of house, Richar, would lead the forces and his sons would battle under him. Gideon, his eldest son, would fight as a knight and battle until the death if his father had wanted him to. Seventh, his youngest son would act as protection for his father as he was not old enough at the time to fight in a war of any kind. As the war raged on battle after battle it had been clear that the humans were winning but now the orcs had called upon their allies, the dwarves, and it was a two on one fight against the Humans. This war that was about minor differences had turned into the great war of Aegis. At this time Rickar knew that they would lose if they did not attack soon, so he had his son stationed with the knights outside of the Human area, in a fort located down the road a ways. As Gideon, soldiers, and fellow knights watched the soldiers come up to their base they thought they would be demolished, it was twenty men to forty, and they had been outnumbered two to one. But, that did not stop Gideon from battling for the Humans.

The battle had started and Gideon had deployed the men to attack. The battle had lasted three days and nights, and in the end only Gideon and two fellow knights had lasted, against the last ten men for the other side. They had fled to the barracks before the final wave of enemies had charged in. The remaining men would not cower or wait for them to go to Oren, so they needed a plan. Gideon had chosen that they would go out through the tunnels and flank them from behind. So the plan had commenced and as they walked to the front gate they began to sweat, questioning themselves “Are we going to live through this.” They halted at the front gate watching the ten men as they screamed for victory, this is when they struck. They had battled blade versus blade and strength versus strength, and as their swords clashed everyone was killed, except for Gideon and his knight friend. After the battle was over they returned to the Human capital where they fought in the last battle. It had been known that because of them killing the first army, the humans won the war. This had given the Silverblades their power back. But during the war Gideon’s father was assassinated, and Gideon had taken over as the head of the family. He was a lord of the humans now and would have to take care of his family and keep it at its noble state.

[The North]

Tis was a sad day in the Land Called Agutha were the Silverblades fled to after a family war had begun Silverblade Himself lead his family forward to the harsh lands of Agutha, A heavy snowy region with brutal cold weather. When Silverblade Arrived he had realized some very important people he loved were gone some of them stayed and some fled south to a land Called Aegis Silverblade was very saddened when he learned his wife had went south to keep the Elven side of the family safe. Silverblade kept this motion bottled inside. And soon found this land called Agutha had no major Kingdom which later would change but that is another story soon to be told. Silverblade and others of the family soon found some land and built a great manor called Galhun that one day grew into a small town for the younglings to one day build and own their own houses.

That is how they began in the northern lands. And now this is how they fell... 100 years after Silverblade settled the land. The day Althos Silverblade died protecting young Braxis from a mercenary paid to kill Braxis is how it all started. A couple of days after that event Braxis left the family town of Galhun and went to seek out the murder. Once Braxis found the Murderer they clashed blades but before Braxis killed him the mercenary told him he had a note and gave it to Braxis. This told Braxis who was targeting family. Braxis worried for his family back at Galhun let the mercenary live and rushed back to his home. But alas it was too late his family estate and the town of Galhun was burning in black fire. Braxis Ran into his home to see his mother dead in a table with her food have some bites taken out of it and her face pale and not visible cuts proved she was poisoned. Braxis drew his blade and slowly walked into his house searching for his younger twin brothers the Levor and Goldleaf Silverblade but he could not and feared the worse. Braxis saw a familiar face his old friend Naxxar who went to the Black arts of magic and used it to kill off the Silverblade family and they clashed at the end Braxis won at the end. Braxis was saddened and have nothing left so he went south to travel and to find his purpose in the world.

The family of the north had fallen quickly. The remaining family had returned to Oren and re-joined the family, but they would not tell the tale of what happened. The family had re-joined together and had returned to full nobility. The two heads of family had been lords of the humans and had kept the family intact. The House of the Silverblades are nobles of humans and will fight for the humans again and again.

- House Honor -

1. The Request of a Nation/town or guild to be given a Hostile status – Thou must bring your proof and any other evidence to support the matter, to the council of elders. After careful consultation of their wisdom the elders will decide on a verdict. There must be a majority vote to make the decision to pass through. If the elders are at a stalemate a Noble Silverblade may come in and tip the scales. And for the Status to be uplifted the same process must be lifted.

 

2. The Silverblades shall not commit hostile acts upon each other whether it be stealing or physically harming each other. If found then the aggressor shall be disowned and banished from the family and in extreme circumstances, handed into the local authorities.

 

3. If family members are opposite sides of a way the elders must decide which side to pick and go through with. If the elders see no real need to fight or go to arms then all sides of the family are expected to lay down their arms and are forbidden to harm any beings of the realm.

 

4. Every Family Member is to respect each other no matter of their views and opinions are different of various topics. This also includes, if the family members are of a different national allegiance or political group.

 

5. The Elders have the most power in the family and the lower family members are to abide with the ruling of all elders. The only time that the family may disregard a elders decision is when said elder is being possessed or is judged, by all other elders to be unfit for his purpose.

 

6. If one Family member finds themselves in trouble they may call upon otherSilverblades for help whether it is with money or homing. The Silverblades are proud people and will not let one of their own become a lesser being.

Artikus Silverblade, Krav Ireheart, Charles Tarus

Yes I am.

- What race / group do you think your events would best cater to? If none in particular, give an example of the type of group that your events would entertain. -

Humans particularly as at this point in time I don't believe they get as many events catered towards them as the other races. 

- What do you believe are key factors for a successful event? -

​Organization, maturity from those involved, 

- When was the last time you saw a event? -

Couple weeks ago. 

- What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team? Are you knowledgeable in lore or great at organizing? -

To be completely honest I would have to say I am really good at organizing and believe I could really do some good for the ET and when it comes to lore I am very knowledgable with human lore in particular.

- Why do you want to be part of the ET? -

Since joining the LOTC community back in 2012 I have tried to contribute and help out wherever and whenever possible. Through my time being on the server I have had the great privilege of serving on the Application, Media, and Guide Teams. I think this has given me a lot of experience helping out players and understanding what it means to be a part of the staff teams of LOTC and being able to realize what things need to get done and in a timely manner. I want to be part of the ET because I want to help improve the roleplay and experience within the races, providing the community with fun things to do when the server seems a little dull. I also think with my timezone and availabilities I will be able to be on when those who generally luck out, are able to interact and participate in an event.

- Create three distinct RP scenarios/events based on LOTC lore that you would organize. These are pitches to the Managers and Ouity, not to the community. Note: Not all of the group must be handled at once. Eg: 20+ people via 5 person increments in a dungeon. -

1) For 1-3 person.

A group or fellowship ventures out into the the woods in search of their fallen brother after being chased away by a Dread Knight who they happened to cross paths with. On their journey they come across small encampment rich with fields of food and wealth fit for that of anyone longing for just the key necessities. This area would be claimable and attainable for those who saw the true beauty within the area. From first glance one could tell the land was blessed with prosperity. As they explored the area they would find their fallen brother at the edge of the plot wounded but still alive. As they take him to a bed in one of the tents they open the chest to find many assorted potions resting at the bottom that they marvel at and quickly use to heal their friend.

2) For a group of 5-10.

A chapter of Knights takes on a crusade to go recover a stolen or lost relic that could hold the key to who the next heir to the throne of the humans should be. Along the way they encounter a series of obstacles meant to test their diligence, honor, and skill in the face of danger. These obstacles would consist of clues that take them to an old ruined castle that deep within its dark dungeons crawling with now foul creatures resides a powerful enchantment that can protect you from even the worst of evil along with a book that holds the next clue to a temple of sorts, a meeting place, where kings of old would meet to discuss matters of great importance between their kingdoms. Here they would find a map detailing the location to where the relic would be hidden along with an ancient bow used to shoot flaming arrows to light big piles of signaling fires to let the other kingdoms know when to meet. After that they would follow the map to a big cave hidden high up in the mountains that would require them to fight off a pack of wolves that guard the area in order to gain entrance to the cave. Once accomplished they would enter the cave only to find two actual guards of a different nature (actors) which attack the group to keep the secret safe. If the Knights prove their worth and succeed they would gain entrance and find at the back of the cave. Here they would find a sword of great power with the actual name of the heir inscribed along the hilt and within the chest also a set of armor only fit for the heir.

3) For a group of 20+.

Basically the war of Athera. Armies from all races including the Undead and any other faction/race/group would have an all out free for all war in a huge valley. The reasoning for the battle would be for Athera's prized possession, knowledge of all magic. Whoever was the last man standing at the end of the battle out of all of Athera would gain the knowledge to all types of magic and would undergo a week of isolation, learning the magic and the power to use it (the person would gain access to the magic plugin and be taught the ins and outs of how to use it and the lore behind it, etc.) Whoever the lucky person was would then be a formidable force and be a key ingredient to their races' survival and advancement.

- How long do you plan to stay in the ET? -

6 months+ at least.

- Tell me a joke. -

"You legit got slapt at the front gates when you were with the Carrions after trying to confront Maric. Don't fire a loaded crossbow when you don't have enough ammunition, especially when there is another one pointed at you with a finer quality of bolt. Shots fired, not heard. Kek." says Snickers

[Lol I was with Maric from the start. That whole RP session was a front to keep my identity in tack while I spied. You can confirm it all with Raptor if you like. And yeah I thought it was a good show too. ;P]

Avgust said dignity not kickassery.

Still holds much dignity. 

"I wonder if Artikus kept his dignity when he boarded up shop like coward in Petrus..oh wait."

And then totally steamrolled three Carrion loyalists on his way out.

Artikus Silverblade hears of the ultimatum given to the Carrions and the Empire.

"I wonder if they're smart enough to understand that they either accept this ultimatum and keep somewhat of their dignity and their kingdom or they decline and lose everything when the war ends in their own defeat."

He laughs and shakes his head returning to his work in his new smithy.

Talon "Slade" Tarus rolls over in his grave.

Talon Tarus wonders from his grave where everyone was when he saw this years ago with the Carrions and no one believed him.
