MOONSHAE GROUP??

Post by Arianna »

So I have been contemplating running a game on the Moonshae's for New toons only, basically everyone starting at about the same level.
Where as in the past I have been trying to let everyone bring whomever into the game, trying to be inclusive within reason and all that jazz. I think this time I want to try to keep people all around the same levels and to limit the numbers to a maximum of 6 , 5 being the actual ideal number. I am hoping for a group that all has the same end goal in mind and not working cross purposes to each other.

There is a need for at least some of the people to be born and raised on the Isles, Would be Ideal if at least one Druid of the Mother [but not a requirement] was there as well as an elf in the group . . . . local or import though local might have more reasons to join.

Keep in mind that people born of the Isles, doesn't matter the race, have a different mindset than their mainland counterparts. This includes Elves, Dwarves, Halflings and Gnomes as well as Humans. It has been less than a century since those non human races have started intertwining their racial gods in with their worship of the Isles Earthmother [NOT Chauntea]. Chauntea held some sway here for about 25 years while the Earthmother was regenerating after the last battle with the Beast. But the Earthmother has returned once again.

Magic from other than Druidic or Bardic sources is looked upon poorly by the Ffolk of the Isles, The Northmen are also fine with Clerical magic. Necromancers are forbidden as is the worship of Talos, & Malar and those who claim Helm as their god are looked down upon. Mages staying very long on the Isles are required to register at the Mages guild in Callidyrr.

The over all premise of this is that Queen Alicia has come to a realization that much of the History of the Isles has been lost because the majority was verbal carried down by the druids. All the original druids were lost years ago due to the Beast, Many of the eldest elves were lost when Ityak-Ortheel was loosed upon Synnoria , summarily destroying the city and many of its people. The Northmen have kept few Histories also of the Oral tradition among their Skalds that were not about war and their conquests. The Dwarves are slow to share.
Due to discoveries by the Heros that recently saved the Isles from its most recent rounds of disaster, Many of the ruins encountered have not been studied since . There has been a dearth of things come to light that needs more investigation.
The Queen has instituted an Office of Histories, currently headed by the Queens Bard, Ashara, to find, study and gather as much history as can be saved and recorded and find artifacts connected to the histories. To put together a comprehensive set of texts so that future rulers can learn from the mistakes of the past and hopefully avoid the things that have plagued the Land previously.



THAT BEING SAID - Game would be run on Monday nights Starting about 6pm pacific time and run for about 2-3 hours. I would want to spend a short bit of time with each toon and more or less a session zero sort of thing . First Game would be 11/9 after daylight savings time changes back here in the states.
It would also require some restraint on the part of the players involved. As I want to keep the levels fairly close together I would frown on individuals logging in to do stuff in 1's and 2s to do alot statics and run mail to get a jump on the xp. IF your level gets higher than the group in general I may have you sit out till it levels out again. IF you ALL want to jump on and do something together that would be fine but someone dying is going to put the group down with the ability to fill the space harder as time goes on


Let me know if there is enough interest in this

Also let me just clarify


LOCAL = someone BORN AND RAISED in the Moonshae Isles

IMPORT = Someone never been there before or recently arrived


If your an import I will be orchestrating the manner of your appearance on the ISLES and the reason your being recruited

IF your a Local I will be orchestrating the manner in which your character is recruited

Just in case people are following it here, there's still a sixth slot for the group -- Heero's name is tentative and he hasn't submitted a biography yet. We want to start on November 9th, so get in contact with Arianna or submit a bio!
