    Whilst I appreciate how eager everyone seems to be, Houses do not - directly - enter into conflict with one another, and they definitely do not enter into conflict with the Royal House :p That aside, Houses will play an important role, but I'll explain that a little further down the line :)

    House Valeria never does anything to benefit itself... officially

    Considering House Penguon is a house of peace, this is a good thing.

  • All the more reason to do so, Ras :p I can think of a House or two who'd be more than willing to take you on as a member!

    Now, I'll be posting up the rules for the RP in this thread this evening, but I won't be starting the RP itself for a few more days. Sorry about the delay, I had a rather busy weekend just gone - travel and whatnot - but things will be moving soon enough. Also, if people who ARE part of a House could get together with their family and come up with a fitting description of your House history and culture etc that'd be very useful; I WILL vet them before they're approved for use, just as warning.

    Character descriptions and the like come after House descriptions are sorted :)

    Seeing as you've gone and done that, it's time for you to come up with a familial description: what your Line is really good at (arts, industry, trade, aeronautics, gear working, innovation, the list goes on but only pick one or two), where the Familial Seat is (pick a city, try and get an image for your Seat - mine is parts of this, as an example), key members (NPCs allowed with sufficient background), links with other Lines, that sort of thing.

    The same is true for all of you: @Yaoke @Govindia @Pengu @BraveSirRobin @Barnes @Chanku @North @Commander_Zemas @taulover @Aragonn @Colberius X @xXTheHydraXx @Samwise Gamgee and @Rasdanation just to be sure.

    ... Goodness me, that's quite a lot of you. For those in the same Houses, get together on IRC and plan out what you want your House to be like. Patriarch/Matriarch has precedent in this process, but obviously you should all have a say.

    In addition, please all begin drafting up a rough character file for UP TO THREE characters.

    IF YOU ARE PART OF A HOUSE, THAT IS THE ONLY HOUSE YOUR CHARACTERS MAY BE A MEMBER OF. Your characters can be non-Line, if you so wish. I will vet every submission when and as I get them, and there probably will be tweaks here and there. Check the Establishment of Setting thread linked in the OP to get a feel for the history of Wintreath in this RP, and try to keep in mind that most Houses cannot be much older than 400 to 500 years. Older abandoned Lines seen in that thread will be NPCs.



    If you are in doubt about anything I've asked you to do, either PM or @ me here, or check the EoS thread for outlines. House roles (what they're good at) are hinted at in the timeline (e.g. my house is industry specialised in heavy gearwork, comes from Bain but maintains holdings in Hammerfell, that sort of thing)

  • Here is the skeleton for the House factbook then:
    The House of Danation
    Familial Specialties
    The Danation house specializes in Innovation and Trade, giving the Familial description of a "Merchant Family"
    Familial Seat
    Galdémere

    The Family
    Familial Connections
    Familial History
    Also @Weissreich does the Familial Seat have to be on the Wintreath map or can it be the home town/city in our actual Familial Houses?

    #Wintreath tends to be filled with other discussions, and I haven't heard of #Chronicles (I assume it's more general-purpose, though). NH is rather quiet, and could easily be repurposed for discussion on House Valeria, particularly since all Valerias are also Hyperians.

    Though we'll probably just continue discussing things in our group PM instead.
