General OOC

It should have something to do with the theme (or your browser's zoom). The best theme I could find was similar to Aftermath's, but it's not exactly the same. Perhaps it's a newer version, and newer things are smaller for some reason.

Then it must be the theme.. meh I'll get used to it.
Now! go criticize my bio and stats!

Seems that I got company within the Griffons, welcome Klaus!

Thanks, glad to be here

Aanyway, I like Dragon's Cave or some such. Ominous.

In an earlier version, the Dragons more or less conquer the Mystmountains, but lose most of their popularity in Ravenstern as the population settled into being Pendorian. So they built castles in the mountains and sit around scheming like the Hashashim. It was a little... too creative though.

Drake's Nest?

Dragon's Roost
Mountain Fyre
Dragon's Fyre
Dragon's Pyre
Ravenstern Rulez, OK?
Dragon's Den
World's End
Scalekeep
Skytalon

One of these is not like the others...

I'm not sure where to put this, I suppose a new thread will need to be created later.

Each Order has a Supporter now. These are the true powerbrokers of Pendor who fund the Orders, or offer them protection/legitimacy, for their own purposes. They tend to be ideological hardliners and hold immense sway over the Orders. Order Knights would do well not to annoy them or harm their interests. If a PC happens to meet with their Supporter... don't make it a bad meeting. Supporters have little to no reason to meet with knights of other Orders... they have their own private armies of highly trained warriors to carry out their will, after all.

Wow, that's a lot.

I'm looking for a single-word name. (like Scalekeep)
Something you can shout without that ridiculous pause....

Edit @Izzy
I take it those names will show up in the Essential Information thingie?

Yes. The Griffons have the King, the Dawn the Venerable Judicator, the Dragons the Duke of Rane, etc. Likely each Supporter will be revealed to everyone once the descriptions are set. Hopefully we'll have that up later today or tomorrow.

Also, we hope to start the first event late this week or on the weekend. We want to give people time to join and create their characters first though. If we do end up having to delay until next week, we'll set up some kind of social/light RP in the meantime.

What about Dragonhold?

How about Dragonberg or Dragonburg?

Thanks all, I'm keeping them in mind.

I've edited the NPCs troop list to include the traits of Forlorn Hope, Barclay Conquistadores, and what Adventurers start with. Adventurers should be thought of as having proficiency in everything from a gameplay perspective. Just buy stuff for them, and keep track of which ones are using which goods.

Updated the Radiant Cross Essential Information according to editor Laisha's guidelines.

This new Pravenstern pic is scary.

Seems fitting don't you think?

I agree that it is terrifying... and fitting.

It does It does.. go give the Griffons a worse name than Aelos and Haegon could combined!

We will have to place bets on which PCs get into a duel/skirmish first. And who will be most likely to begin a game-long vendetta against another PC all due to the outcomes of the first event.

Was the stuff about renown and ideologies clear?

Basically, renown will be earned for various sorts of actions/accomplishments. More renown will be earned for daring or risky moves (but that risk is real now), of course. Also undertaking actions that would favorably advance a part of the Order's ideology will earn more renown than normal stuff. Succeeding in advancing the Order's ideology is how you can earn the big renown. Actions that contradict or harm the ideology might still earn something if they're public enough... but there will be negative consequences from the rest of the Order, too.

It's tough to make a list of things that will earn renown since it's mainly limited by everyones' creativity!

It is for thhe most part. Now to make a holy book for King Mordred I...

Our beloved King... founder of the Adalhard dynasty.

Does that mean he is being Deified?

He would make suitable opposition for the Dawn's Astraea...
