Policies Regarding the Clans

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gwaine: Regulations of the Keep.

Sat Oct 29 11:12:11 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knights of Gareths,

Understand well, we do not make war on a whim. Nor do we extend our hand in

peace and alliance as such.

Where the is just cause this Keep will not falter from taking battle,

regardless of whom stand with us or whom would oppose us. Honour above all

else.

We war Storm Keep and the Horde, both of these are our ideological foe.

Similarly, all chromatics, demonlords and lesser demons are our foe.

Likewise any vampire where so ever they take refuge.

We war Greystoke, for their hostile intent against messengers of the Light

and metallic dragons whom are our allies. However, due to the common cause

we share against chromatic dragons and demons, where the members of

Greystoke present are not of evil aura, limited joint patrols are allowed

in order to face a chromatic or demon that is present.

When such a patrol is formed, the following must be done:

1. The senior knight present must negotiate the terms of the joint patrol

with the available Slayer from Greystoke.

2. The joint patrol may not include anyone of evil aura. Under no

circumstances may we form with those of evil.

3. Such joint patrols may NOT be formed to hunt vampires who may be

present.

4. When a joint patrol is formed, the knight who negotiates this patrol

must scribe a brief missive alerting the Keep that such patrol is in effect,

and then at the end of the patrol, again write a brief missive stating that

joint actions are concluded.

We remain at war with Greystoke, Gareths. Conduct yourself accordingly.

Any among us who find it convenient to forget this, shall find such memory

reawakening a rueful experience.

It should be clear then, that some foe are greater enemies of this Keep than

others.

Occasionally, it may be prudent to cease direct hostilities with the Towers

and Greystoke in order for members of this Keep and allies to deal with the

threat from the Horde or Shadow, against a Demonlord or Chromatic, there is

no dishonor in this.

This is not permission to form patrols with such enemy when you choose, but

leeway given for you to exercise your judgment in focusing on a greater

enemy of this Keep.

Only those who have gained their knighthood may enter such arrangements.

When such arrangements are made, alert the Keep by missive when such

ceasefire is made, and again when such ceasefire is ended so that others of

the Keep do not inadvertently transgress any arrangement prevailing on the

field.

Gareths, these are matters of common sense, given to those who have earned

their spurs to exercise for the benefit of this Keep maintaining its

effective presence on the field of battle.

Do not seek to find creative interpretations of what is stated here. If you

are unsure, seek myself or an officer to clarify the matter.

Neither ignorance nor presumption will not be accepted as reason for

violating the spirit of these regulations.

Our foe is beyond the walls of this Keep, and they are many. We need this

Keep functioning as one to meet the threat they bring.

Any whom test the limits of these regulations will find this Crown quite

uncharitable and entirely willing to exercise the sternest sanction at my

disposal.

d'Aggravaine, Crown.

Gwaine: The greater foe. (Policy with Slayers)

Sun Jun 13 07:05:16 2010

To: Slayers Knighthood ( Imm Immortal Immortals )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Men and women of Gareth's,

We share many common foe with Greystoke Manor. Unfortunately, it is true we

also have differences, which cannot be brought to resolution.

Yet within this, it is clear that certain priorities, particularly on the

battlefield, can be formally established to ensure that the greater purpose

of the Light is served.

Whilst the Slayers remain a respected enemy, with whom we will do no trade

or commerce, or typically find ourselves assisting, should we find them

during our patrols, our offensive action should be first directed to any

Chromatic, Demon, Fire Giant or Vampire that they may be battling.

In any other situation, we prioritise in our conflict the Horde, Shadow and

any member of Wargar who bears an evil aura.

Should clarification on this be required, speak to me.

d'Aggravaine. Crown.

Gorgrim: The Greater Foe.

Sun Jun 13 07:15:17 2010

To: Slayers Knighthood Azuremin Gwaine (Imm Immortal Immortals)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brothers in Arms-

It has ever been my expectation that the soldiers of this Manor will strike

down the foul unnatural spawn that roam this land, before seeking battle

with any mortal enemy.

After discussions with Crown General d'Aggravaine, it has been agreed that

in the face of a common enemy, namely chromatic dragons, Demonspawn, fire

giant and the undying, we will target the unnatural prior to joining battle

with Gareth.

I have given my word on this matter and any of this Manor that break it will

answer to me.

If you have any question seek me out, in person or by missive.

Gwaine: Declaration of War. (Policy with Chaos)

Fri Aug 13 19:47:27 2010

To: Chaos all ( Nadrik Imm Immortal Immortals Austinian Siccara Nazca )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Keep of Gareth has noted these whom so proudly wear the badge of

Chaos.

That their intent is chaos and their purpose that of Malachive is confirmed

in their own words.

Thus this Keep declares war upon these, and any else, heretic and

blasphemers both.

May the Light grant these misguided, the wisdom to know their error, and the

strength to accept redemption.

d'Aggravaine, Crown.

Conditions of Peace with Shalonesti

We will not lend aid, trade with, or travel in formation with any elf who is evil at heart.

Gwaine: Peace is declared. (Policy with Wargar)

Mon Oct 10 17:10:36 2011

To: Knighthood Wargar ( Imm Immortal Immortals Nadrik Austinian Siccara )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knights of Gareth,

Peace has been concluded with Wargar.

The Mountain has stood beside us against the forces of Chaos and in the

quest for Shards. They have fought hard, and fought honorably, while we

warred. That war is now over. Let us see to work together against these

forces that would undermine our way of life.

Now, for practical matters.

Knights, be aware whom you patrol with.

Confusion often happens in battle. If you choose to patrol with those whom

war with the Mountain, ensure that you do not instinctively assist in

battle.

If any transgressions of the peace are made on either side, ensure the

Generals are notified along with the circumstances so that appropriate steps

can be taken.

d'Aggravaine, Crown.

Gaudin: Cease of Hostilities Until Peace Summit (Policy with the Conclave)

Thu Dec 27 23:02:53 2012

To: Knighthood Conclave Imm RP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is with great pride and joy that I announce a Cease Fire between the

Conclave and the Knights of Gareth Keep.

In recent days we have fought bitterly, but always halfheartedly for we know

that there are worse enemies in this world that our two parties are more fit

to do battle against. To this end, a Summit is planned at a date to be

announced to discuss the terms of formal peace between the Great and

Glorious Conclave of the Magi, and the Most Noble Orders of Gareth Keep.

It is our hope that we can formally ratify this treaty and work together in

august measures in the future.

Iladel: Peace accord with Knighthood

Thu Dec 27 23:26:29 2012

To: Conclave Knighthood Imm ( RP )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings Knights and Mages,

This senseless war has gone on long enough. The Knights of Gareth and the

Order of the Conclave have shared a common destiny since their inception

during the Yinnae Wars; and it is time again that we learn to settle our

differences and come together against an even more sinister enemy. Our

energies are wasted in petty street fighting, while the forces of Malachive

and Chaos grow stronger in the absence of a concerted opposition. I, in

agreement with the General of the Lance, call today for a cessation of all

firing between our clans until a formal peace agreement can be reached.

Please be tolerant of any accidental breaches of this accord and make sure

that your fellows are aware of its existence.

Master of the Three Towers,

Iladel

Dear Clans of the Realm,

I join the clans to find more gladiator fights. For that is who I am. A

gladiator and a merchant.

I do not have any grievance with any, and do not much care for the daily

hunting that shall come to me. I am glad to accept any duels now that I

walk alone however.

In otherwords, I do not expect to war those except that those who war me.

So although I do not declare war on Storm Keep, and the Dungeon, I am ready

to face thee in combat.

After speaking with Maij he appears socially inept and probably illiterate. He seems

kindly, assuming his aura does not change to red, or he doesn't go crazy or chaotic.

Agapitos: The Concordat of the White and Gareth

Thu Oct 13 16:19:49 2022

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fellows, Esteemed Allies,

Upon this day, with the support of Vizier Valiastar of the White, does the

alliance of the White Robes of the Conclave and the Knighthood of Gareth

Keep formally begin. The terms of alliance are as follows:

* Hostilities between the parties subject to alliance are to be kept to a

minimum, as permitted by organizational obligation. It is understood that a

White Robe is to act in the defense of the Red or Black when possible, but

with ideal circumstances, overt harm should be kept to a minimum while

honoring the ancient agreement of the Golden Tower. Directly harmful spells

(spells of combat or damage) will be avoided, though magicks used in support

of others (regeneration of allies or attempted malediction) will not be

looked upon with disdain. We will not demand a break from the Golden Accord

in the name of our alliance.

* Any Knight placed in direct opposition to a White Robe outside of

agreed-upon circumstances (duels of honour or Gladiatorial arrangements)

shall retreat with all due haste. In turn, the White Robes shall not pursue

engagement. The inverse shall also be expected, with any routing not being

pursued upon when withdrawing under the terms of our agreement.

* In absence of Red or Black Robes in formation, the White and the Knights

shall be free to pursue open alliance and grouped combat when it does not

run counter to the official policy of the Golden Tower. In joint exercises

and combat engagements, every effort shall be made to avoid placing either

party in conflict with their official stances of war and peace with other

organizations.

* Reports of breach of this alliance shall be made known primarily to the

commanding officers or magi of both parties, that a proper investigation may

be opened and correction applied in order to facilitate continued good

relations.

In accordance with these terms, the White Robes have been removed from the

War listing for the Knights of Gareth, and similar shall be laid forth for

the White Robes. May our alliance prove prosperous, and may the Family

smile upon the tightening of the bonds of kindred spirits beneath the

auspices of a shared Light.

May we elevate one another as we bring forth a new Dawn to put the lie to

the wishes of an Infinite Night.

Lothaw: Those seeking pardons within Arkane

Tue Sep 20 19:57:53 2011

To: clans Arkane imm Bioteq all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A cordial greetings to those of the clanned life,

As there seems to have been a high frequency of requests for pardons

suddenly of late, I thought I would take a moment to explain Arkane's policy

towards those that fall out of favor with the cityguard while fighting

within Arkane's territory.

We neither endorse nor oppose any of the said clans(with the obvious

exception of Chaos) and as such our guards do not go out of their way to

hinder your actions within Arkane. However distasteful some of our

residents may find such blatant fighting within the city limits, the

kingdom, out of courtesy, has not taken actions to check it.

However if the fighting gets out of control, the powers that be make it

exceptionally difficult to issue a pardon to those of the clanned life, and

such if the cityguard does issue a warrant for using excessive force within

the city limits, that will be between each said individual and the lower

courts. Either to do your time as is required or to accept the consequences

of being wanted within the city limits.

Hopefully this will clear up our stance on the issue. Any further questions

may of course be directed to myself or Queen Kaerlia.

Signed,

Lothaw Ka'tath

Clans of Algoron,

The Lands of Thalosia are vast, and within their far unkept reaches, the

only rule is that the strong and the wise, shall survive over the weak and

the foolish. Within the heart of these lands is the Desert Jewel, and while

it's laws are not so unlike that of its far reaches, it is far from unruly,

or unkept.

Those sighted within the Kingdom walls of New Thalos inciting unnecessary

violence or disorder, shall find themselves no longer welcome within our

streets. This is a simple rule, and we trust it shall be an acceptable one.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fellow Knight's of Gareth's Keep and Citizens of Thalosia,

May it be a reminder that the Knighthood of Gareth's Keep respects the

neutrality of the Kingdom of New Thalos, and our Knights are not to patrol

within its city walls, nor engage in combat with our enemies within. An

exception is the pursuit of targets previously engaged outside of its walls,

as well as the obvious self-defense that may be used by those who do not

respect this peace. This we do to in good faith for the civilian population

of the Desert Jewel.

We ask that violators of this peace be reported for proper disciplinary

actions.
