A move to a brighter future: With many reasons and tensions driving us, we will now move forward with new lands not under the rule of those seeking to oppress us, internally and externally. With the discussions and alliances forged between us and many others, we must now seek out a land not controlled by our constant oppressors. And so, we have taken up a new grove in the fledgling nation of Aeroch-Nor. We will be neutral and independent once more, and we will be able to grow and thrive like never before. We will hold respect to all views of the Aspects in the interest of good will between ourselves and the varied peoples of the world, and teach of the Aspects to all who come to learn. We will nurture the surrounding lands and help forests and crops flourish and bring balance to the region as we reach out to continue our charge to bring balance to the world as a whole once more. We have many allies who seek balance, order, purity, and the protection and betterment of life in all forms, and we will work alongside them in an unprecedented show of mutual respect and cooperation, the likes of which has never been achieved before. We welcome all Brothers and Sisters, no matter what path or Circle you follow, for we are all children of the Aspects. Circle of the Stream Official Charter Introduction Within the Old Order, it was common for the workings of the circle to be taught by word of mouth. With no official document, the workings were left to change each time a new group of Archdruids took their place. This is unproductive and creates friction. The Circle of Steam, therefore, establishes this charter for the purposes of defining how the circle functions. Druid Guides Druid Guides take up the responsibility of recruiting and teaching new druids. In exchange for these increased responsibilities, they are considered part of the Inner Circle. The duties of a Druid Guide include: Interviewing Seekers Accepting Seekers as Dedicants Providing Lessons and Tasks for Dedicants Attunement of Dedicants Further instruction and lessons of newly attuned Druids Archdruids Archdruids take up all the Responsibilities of the Druid Guide along with additional responsibilities. Archdruids are considered part of the Inner Circle. The duties of an Archdruid include: The duties listed under Druid Guides Calling and leading Moots Initiating a vote on Shunning and Unshunning an individual (See Moots for voting procedure) May engage in diplomatic discussions on behalf of the Circle. Any agreement reached is subject to a full circle vote. May make decisions of immediate effect during times of crisis or emergency, but at the first possible opportunity these decisions will come up for vote during a Moot to determine if they continue or can be done away with. Hierophants Hierophant is an honorary title granted to druids who have performed great services to the Circle. While a Hierophant is generally independent of any circle and should be respected, Hierophants recognized by the Circle have additional privileges. Hierophants recognized by the Circle of the Stream may: Issue a challenge against an Archdruid. In the case that the number of Archdruids drops below full and the existing Archdruids refuse to hold a moot to select new Archdruids within two elven weeks, a Hierophant may call a moot for the sole purpose of electing new Archdruids. In this case, Archdruids are selected by full circle votes. Teach their own students, known as Acolytes, in the same manner that Dedicants are taught, outside of the Circle or as part of it, at their discretion. Hierophancy is either granted by the circle, or formally recognized by vote during a Moot if the Hierophancy is granted by another circle. If another circle grants Hierophancy to a druid and that druid’s status is recognized by this circle, that recognition is automatically revoked if the druid’s Hierophancy is removed by the circle that granted it, or a vote is held by the Circle to no longer recognize the title. Another circle removing Hierophancy from a druid does not prevent this circle from granting that druid Hierophancy. Another circle attempting to remove Hierophancy from a druid granted the title by this circle is considered invalid and has no standing upon their title in the eyes of the Stream Circle. Hierophants raised by another circle that later merges with this circle are considered to have been granted Hierophancy by this circle, whether or not they were recognised prior to the merge, as a sign of respect. In the case that another circle’s Hierophant is not formally recognised by this circle, they are to be respected, but they are not qualified to exercise the powers normally granted to Hierophants. Dedicants Dedicants are the students, the learners, who wish to one day become Druids. Nothing is changing for Dedicants as compared to other circles, this is a long-held tradition and has been proven more than beneficial and wise. Druids holding Political Office The practice of Druids holding a political role is an oft-debated topic, changing many times in the Old Order, and some exceptions being made even to this day. Within the Circle of the Stream, you are permitted to hold Political Office so long as you still perform your duties to the Aspects and the Circle. Only Archdruids of the Circle of the Stream may hold the two Druid seats on the Aeroch Nor Council. If you are part of any other Political Position, you may not hold the title of Archdruid or Guide under any circumstances. You are expected to still receive lessons on your Druidic gifts regularly, including sessions of meditation. You are expected to still serve the balance to the best of your ability within your held position, with understanding given that you do hold responsibilities with your position as well. If a decision or action arises within your position that may conflict with the ideals of the Circle, you are to consult with the Archdruids to clarify the situation and try to find the best course of action. The Challenge The Challenge is the method by which an Archdruid may be forcefully removed. A Challenge is declared by a Heirophant recognized by the Circle. When a Challenge is declared, another Hierophant (or druid, in the case that no other Hierophants are available) is selected as a neutral party. The neutral party formulates a challenge of skill. Any druid who is a member of the Circle, other than the neutral party and declarer of the challenge, may participate. The winner of the Challenge takes the Archdruid position. Moots A moot is a meeting of druids. Moots are called by Archdruids unless under circumstances stated in the Charter. For a moot to take place, it must be publically announced no less than two elven days in advance, and a majority of the inner circle must be present. Votes may only be held in a moot. There are two types of votes that occur: An Inner Circle vote, and a full circle vote. An Inner Circle vote is a vote held amongst all attending members of the inner circle, requiring a simple majority to pass. A majority of the Inner Circle is required to hold an Inner Circle vote. A full circle vote is a vote held amongst all attending druids of this circle, requiring a simple majority to pass. An inner circle vote may be changed to a full circle vote by an Archdruid, at their discretion. Issues that fall under an Inner Circle vote: Raising a new guide Removing guides Raising a new Archdruid Recognizing a Hierophant raised by another circle Granting Hierophancy Any unspecified votes dealing with the management of the guiding branch Issues that fall under a full circle vote: Proposed shuns Unattunement of a member of the circle Finalizing diplomatic agreements Removing recognition of a Hierophant raised by another circle Repealing Hierophancy previously granted by the circle. Unspecified votes on matters that affect the circle as a whole Amending the Charter In the event that the Charter proves insufficient or needs to be altered, it may be amended given the following procedure. An Archdruid shall publically call a moot, giving no less than two elven weeks notice. A majority of active druids of the circle is required to attend. Each proposed amendment is presented individually, receiving a vote on it’s own merit. Amendments require a 2/3 majority full circle vote to pass. ((A second post below this one will contain the Druidic ranks and those that hold them within this Circle))

The Order of The Black Swan The Order of the Back Swan is a guild which seeks to prevent unlawful banditing in and around Athera. They are a military organisation with a number of towns under their control, however they are based in Morley Castle, in Akovia. They seek to combat injustice and are a growing community. They have people with a whole range of professions, skills and interests. Soldiers are granted complementary accommodation in Akovia, a townhouse. As well as housing, there is the issue of nourishment. No soldier will be without food, and will regularly be topped up with food. There are Order Farmers and chefs on hand to ensure this. They have regular training sessions, and a monthly tournament, at the end of which, a Champion is crowned.

The Mages Guild --------------------------- "There are two sides of magic. Neither evil, neither good… it is only the choices and actions of the wielder which shape the fate of all man, we can only say choose wisely" "Magic is your gift, maintaining balance is your duty." The Mages Guild is the dominant institution for the training and study of Arcane Magic. Looked over by the Archmages, the Guild seeks out those who they consider magically sensitive and train them within their mysterious art. Perhaps being one of the oldest factions in the realm, the Guild keeps a persistent secretive aura about them due to their ancient and “dark” history. Despite their past they continue to act as one of the only major academies for aspiring Arcanists. ------------------------------------------------------------ The Guilds Duty We are the Mages Guild; first tasked with keeping this balance since the days when magic was born. Though unnoticed we have remained watchful. Though overlooked we have contributed in secret. Though misunderstood our purpose remains. The Mages Guild takes action against such things that threaten the balance. The Mages Guild are wise and experienced in magic, they will intervene when individuals are seen using magic incorrectly, or with dangerous intents that may threaten the balance. The Mages Guild will not hide away their experience, but teach others to wield magic skillfully. The Mages Guild operates not for personal, commercial or political gain. Those who seek magic and are gifted with a mind to understand its secrets, and a soul that carries its responsibilities with gravity, may find their answers. We may be contacted at any of our Embassy’s in pursuit of this seeking, or if you wish to align with our recent endeavours. Mages will choose for themselves the willing pupils whom they deem worthy of undertaking an apprenticeship. But learn to ask with your actions, instead of with your words. For The Mages Guild is not showy with magic, nor will we willingly equip the fool with a means to injure himself and others. But if you prove the desire in your heart you shall be satisfied. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ranks Triumvirate of the Archmages The Archmages control every aspect of authoritative power within the Guild. This is not to say that the Archmages don’t give a bulk of his responsibilities to the Guild Masters, however matters too dire for them to decide upon are brought before the Triumvirate of Archmages to resolve. Masters The vice power to the Archmages, the Masters acts as the right hand of the Archmages. Their duties range from recruiting apprentices and running the day to day activities of the Guild. Despite their roll, any of their decisions can be vetoed by the Archmages at any time they find it necessary. Guild Masters The Guild Master are responsible to the day today running of embassies, along with recruiting potential applicants. With their vast experience Guild masters are also expected to teach students and assist in some of the minor leadership duties such as recruiting and training. Archanix Also known as the Librarian, the Archanix plays a key role in the academic aspect of the Guild. Their responsibilities require them to act as the caretaker of the Guild’s magical items and archive the numerous books the Guild stores. Authoritatively they lack a great deal of power; however their role as the controller of the knowledge in the Guild is a necessity. The Archanix has access to all books within the Guild. Instructors Retrieved from some of the more powerful mages, or even produced by the Guild itself. The Instructors, otherwise known as Professors, are alumni of the Guild who have taken up a teaching position in the Guild’s ranks. Considered to be “masters” of their art, their duty is to teach and train the apprentices the Guild draws in. Mages The Mage position is for those who have completed their Apprenticeship training under the Guild or those already experienced mages who have come to join the guild to seek more knowledge and understand of the magical arts. Mages also assist the guild with the greater duty of the mages guild which is to keep balance with in the world. Apprentices Hand selected by the Guild for magical sensitivity, the Apprentices are the newest practitioners of the Guild’s art. The first few years of their training consist of a lecture style teaching, however as their lectures come to an end, they are to select a Master to take Apprenticeship under and be trained in their specific specialty of magic. Once the Master believes them to be advanced in their art, they are taken before the Archmages and must prove themselves. Seeker A Seeker is one who is obviously seeking magical studies and a teacher, or possibly simply acceptance into the Guild. A Seeker must go through an interview to be accepted as a student. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mages Code A mage shall not use their magic to serve purposes that contradict that of the institution and it’s leaders. Magic is your gift, maintaining balance is your duty. Selfish pursuits will be punished. A mage shall not assault another member of the institution, unless agreed upon beforehand between the two, or if the victim is conducting actions that would cause damage to the Institution and it’s purposes. A mage of the institution must follow the orders set before them by their respective authority, unless they consider such actions to be harmful of the institution, or disrupting the balance. A graduated mage must carry their responsibilities with gravity, knowing that they represent not only themselves, but the Guild as a whole, and all practitioners of magic. Any mage identified as operating as a rogue will be disbanded from the guild, banished from its facilities and from communication with its members, and most likely killed for good measure. A mage who does not carry the responsibilities of magic is not a mage at all. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joining the Mages Guild The Mages guild accept those skilled within magic, and those wishing to learn. Those currently possessing knowledge within a subtype shall either be known as a mage or student depending upon their current learning status within the guild. Upon your papers being received, you’ll be invited to an interview with a higher member of the guild who’ll determine if you’re the right candidate for the guild. If so you’ll be formally recognized as a student, then hopefully soon a graduate within the Guild Please fill out the papers below and post them to any of the mages guild embassies. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iZqi8OYx-SxOCh-5myg5DDg7l_TLa3PH_pr_Wz4Zqmw/viewform?usp=send_form#start=invite

Brotherhood of the Holy Palatinate I Shall Not Falter A steel song rings from the souls of all the faithful, my friends, but only those chosen as the Bulwark of the Faith shall find their ears ringing with it's brilliant, bursting crescendo. By the brilliance of the Creator and all of his children, and by the authority of High Pontiff Daniel I, and to be outlined in the First Bull of Cyriaum, the Brotherhood of the Holy Palatinate shall be accepting preliminary applications prior to it’s formal formation under the command of Ser Godwin Myre, Commandant of the Holy See. The Brotherhood's garrison is located in Cyriaum, just east of Petrus. The Palatine Code I. STATIONS i. It is we who stand as guardians of the High Pontiff. ii. It is we who shall protect the Creator's faithful from evil, whenever possible. iii. It is we who hunt all worshippers of evil and practitioners of darkness. iv. It is we who keep watch in the lands of the Holy See, and uphold peace and order. v. It is we who shall be the Vanguard of any Holy Crusades. vi. It is we who shall carry out the sentences of those convicted of crimes against the Faith and the Holy See. vii. It is we who shall train the Cyriaum citizen militia in times of need. II. TENETS i. It is we who share, with tolerance and understanding, the word of the Lord. ii. It is we who maintain a powerful and unwavering faith in the Creator and His word. iii. It is we who shall seek to embody Horen's Virtue and Owyn's Spirit. iv. It is we who strive to deliver upon the faithful the embodiments of Godfrey's Gospel and Siegmund's Auspices. v. It is we who obey, without question, the hierarchy of the Brotherhood, and ultimately word of the High Pontiff. vi. It is we who shall embrace our fellow Palatines as Brothers, and treat them as such. vii. It is we who know to violate the Palatine Code is to be stripped of his rank and to be exiled in disgrace. The Hierarchy SENIOR COMMAND --Commandant-- The Commandant is the absolute commander of the Brotherhood, whose direct authority is superseded only by the High Pontiff himself. The Commandant advises the High Pontiff and the entire Holy See largely on military matters; primarily defensive. The High Pontiff selects and removes the Commandant at will. --Chaplain-- The Chaplain is the Commandant’s eyes and ears, as well as his voice. The Overseer is an extremely loyal, competent, virtuous, and respected member of the Brotherhood. The Chaplain has all the powers of command within the Brotherhood that the Commandant has, but can be overridden by the Commandant at any time. The Commandant may add or remove Chaplains at will. HIGH COMMAND --First Palatine-- The First Palatine is a proven, experienced and competent Brother. He is entrusted with drilling the enlisted, leading and organizing patrols and watches, and is the first rank permitted to carry the Standard of the Holy See into battle. First Palatines oftentimes are given specific tasks along with their rank, depending on their individual skills, such as Quartermaster or Disciplinarian. ENLISTED --Palatine-- The Palatine is a veteran guardsman who has proven his virtuosity, loyalty, and efficiency. The Palatine is the first rank permitted to wear the Lorraine upon his tabard. He is the primary backbone of the Brotherhood, and makes up the majority of the patrols and lines. The Palatine may select a newly promoted Gardist as their direct apprentice. The Palatine who disobeys a single order immediately suffers severe punishment, including, at the least, demotion. --Gardist-- The Gardist is one finally fully recognized and initiated as a member of the Brotherhood. He has proven himself capable of more extensive training, and receives it from the High Command during scheduled drills, or from an Ensign who selects them as their apprentice. The Gardist’s status as a newly initiated Guard gives him a small amount of slack in disciplinary situations, and High Command may be more lenient with them depending on their time as a Gardist and the offense. The Gardist is the first rank permitted to wear the colors of the Holy See upon his tabard. --Initiate-- The Initiate is one who dwells in the Pool of Consideration, and has not been selected from the Pool or been directly Chosen to bypass the Pool. He is not yet a member of the Palatine Guard, and therefore his actions do not reflect the Guard. The Initiate is considered under a trial phase, and he undergoes basic training to consider his worth. The Selection To serve in the Palatine Guard, one must be of at least sixteen years, a male, of the Human race and a faithful member of the Church of the Canon. I. To Be Considered Any faithful man above the age of sixteen may actively apply to the Consideration Pool. If their application is accepted, they shall be given room and board and the title “Initiate.” During their time in the Consideration Pool, no man is considered a member of the Palatine Guard. They shall, however, be expected to attend to whatever duties are assigned to them by any Officer of the Brotherhood, as well as attending regular drills, competitions, and sermons. Through these means, the Commandant and his officers shall evaluate each and every initiate and decide upon the fate of that initiate. Below is the public application to the Consideration Pool.

~TheBlackRose~ }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{ *Pinned to a tree is a piece of yellowing parchment held to the trunk with gruesome black nails in the 4 corners of the parchment. Upon closer inspection the words "TheBlackRose" can be read across the top with a rose unlike any other seeming to of been burned into the parchment.

If you are willing to take the steps necessary to fulfill the duty of TheBlackRose; I ask of you to take one of the ravens that sits below and tie a note to its leg with a petal from the rose that rests above crested within the parchment. You must write in blood upon this note the following; Name, Age, and Race. Release the raven at day break upon the sealing of the blood note. Sincerely yours, TheBlackRose }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{ *Beneath the tree’s trunk lies a cage made of Ferrum, it is rusted and the hinges creak with every movement.

Guild of Heroes Based off of Real Life Comic Book Heroes I am looking to create a guild / society made of fun and quality roleplayers. The main appeal to this society is that each person who lives there should be modeled off of a pre-existing real life superheroes. Super heroes are rather powerful and we look for people who are also powerful on the server, an example would be having powerful weapons and great pvp skills, or being a T5 lightning evocationist, ect. Example Character (The Hulk) Brooz Banyur, a troll who stands at 14 ft. tall and have serious anger management problems. They are decently intelligent until you piss them off but one you do they lose all sense of reason. (Character descriptions need to be longer depending on how complex the character would be to fit into the lore, for example Wonder Woman would be decently difficult to explain but I want detail that fit with the lore.) Heroes- As of now we currently have no people who live in this society sadly. But on the plus side you can choose which hero you want to be! Conflicts Say perhaps one person is already roleplaying a character based off of the Hulk and somebody else wants to be the Hulk. We would have a competition of sorts to see who is the most fit to be the character People would be judged upon: - Quality of Roleplay - How valuable they would be to the society - How powerful they are - Knowlegde of the character they want to play - How often they are able to be on the server - and other merits that somebody may have What Would the Society Do? Potentially the society would have events within itself and help others to have quality roleplay or find friends or roleplay partners. I believe that the community would stay mostly peaceful for the most part if totally possible. I want a tax free society that people should want to give to and watch it evolve but nothing would necessarily be demanded. Rules Don't be rude OOC and follow IG rules. How Do I Join? Please fill out the application below Society of Heroes Application MC Name: IC Name: Who you want to roleplay as (example: Hulk): Traits of your character: Skype?

*A splintery wooden box sits before you, with a hastily-painted black crow on the lid. As you open it, careful not to injure yourself on sharp bits of wood, you notice it is full to the brim with small printed pamphlets.* The Calling of the Lone Blackbird. “Help The Fringe Survive” What are we? Hello, weary survivors, lost warriors, widowed wives. Do you seek a higher purpose in this sick world? Do you seek to help end this plague, to do what the Mali’aheral of Tahn’siol refuse, what Oren and Urguan cannot? The corpses of our brothers and sisters are being burned, and we must not wait until pestilence knocks on our door. The Lone Blackbird will provide any volunteer with armor, weapons, bandages, food, and a protective mask. Our duty is to seek out and euthanize the infected, and distribute masks to those who have not yet been afflicted. For our safety and security, only applicants will be given directions to our camp. You may find the application here: *You notice that a pull-out tab has been enclosed here in the pamphlet.* Here are our order goals, current ones are starred (*), constant ones are marked (-): *Clean Oren and rescue those holed up in Orenian territory. *Rescue the remaining Dwarves of Urguan and Clean Arkon. -Give any survivors clean food and water and an infection mask. -Cure Infected with Flame. *Quarantine infected or abandoned settlements and salvage what is left in them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pla7nDYciI4 -=- The Sallied Sailormen -=- -=- The Pull -=- Long have the children of the sea been lost, dwelling among those who have little to relate to them. From the last group of sailormen, no home had been presented to them. No place to call a Sailorman’s haven. But yet some rally under the name of a true sailor. It is by the inquisition of “Hobs Gullyworth” that a proper group be established, so that when the time comes, the denizens of the salty sea can return to their roots. As a result of these inquisitions, countless letters are sent throughout the Fringe. “We hang by our fingernails, we stand in darkness with no guidance. Those who or have called them sailormen are beckoned back to the place of which they belong, where the ale flows free and the warm summer days never cease. A call for unity among our kin. Come and join the Sallied Sailormen! Destroying other pirates, seeking adventure, and bringing those to justice who wrong the Creator are the type of men we are. Those who find oppression as lowborn in Oren’s government find safe haven here. Here, the rank of Lord, King, or even Emperor is irrelevant as kin. You must prove your mettle yourself, not being born into a statue already hammered out. No man shall be berated for a status in life he had not chosen! Those who do will face our ire.” -=- Pecking Order -=- Captain: Commands the ship at sea, and if at land, commands the crew and represents the company. Generally leads the group. Acts in absence of the Quartermaster. Quartermaster: Acts in absence in the Captain as well, acting as the Steward of the Sallied Sailormen. Deals with properties on the ship or on land, manages the crew’s well being and keeps everyone happy. If capable, trains the crew. Mate: Basic rank of the Sallied Sailormen, tends the boats, doing the basic work. Retains the right to drink themselves to death at all times. Powder Monkey: Usually captured slaves, they do the most brutal grunt work and fetch food for the Mates and their higher-ups. Transporting supplies in a battle. -=- Chanteys -=- An important counterpart to the culture, Chanteys are not only a way to pass time but to contribute to the culture that holds the essence of the sailor’s together. Through blood, sweat, and passion do they hold these very dear to them. To be added. The Fiddler Ripped Sails Bound over the Mountain -=- Uniform -=- -=- Notices -=- Currently settled in Adunia. There is water in Adunia. Lots of it.

There are too many Elves! For a race with a reproduction curse, they don't act like it! There are more Elves than there are Orcs! Krug is disappointed!
