Welcome!!!

By: Equillian

You've made it to the Igrayne website, most likely due to our recruitment drive. For the next few weeks, I'm going to leave this notice on the top. I would like to personally welcome you to Igrayne and thank you for looking over the site to find out more information about us.

What is Igrayne?

Igrayne is a combat based boffer group with small larp elements. We have plenty of combat, but we do our best to have meaning behind it. At least from a story and fame point.

How does battle interact with story and do I have to participate with the roleplay acpect of it?

Once you've come out and understand how things work, you'll be able to join one of the houses. These houses differ in amount of roleplay, strengths, and adgenda. These houses battle against and create alliances with each other in order control "land", gain in game money, and more. It is actually possible within game rules to crush another house. Considering that some people play for the pure and simple fun of it, there are sure to be houses that offer no roleplay at all. And I'm also assuming vice versa. Simply put, no one will ever be FORCED to roleplay or dress up. (though most houses will have a tabbard to identify their members on the battlefield.)

What is the point of land control and how do I get to control land?

Houses require in game currency (gold) in order to sustain their numbers. Each plot of land offers income. A small house wanting to become more powerful might want to invade land in order to gain the resources required to sustain a larger population (memberbase). They can do this through many ways. One way would be to make an alliance with another house to allow their army to fight in your battle. These arrangements, the political aspect, and the secrecy are where the roleplay truly come in. So honestly, the RP is there, just below the surface of the game.

Who controls the battle group? How is power divided?

The Igrayne are lead by an Emperor. He leads with an iron fist, powered by popular support. The Emperor personally leads the Imperial Army of the Igrayne (which is sure to help keep things fair in the game). Equillian has a senate which he hears the pleas of on a regular basis. This senate is comprised of members of the different houses. Number of senators is directly related to the amount of members a house has. On matters that the Emperor puts to a vote, house votes will be literally 1 vote for every piece of land owned.

How is gold earned?

Land creates gold on a monthly basis. Houses pay the imperial treasurer each month for "feeding their troops" and taxes on their land. Different plots of land will provide different amounts of gold. Amounts earned each month will be different from month to month. Money has the ability to move from hand to hand, guild to guild, and guild to empire.

How is land earned / lost?

The primary way a house earns and loses land is they through challenges. Challenges happen when one house declares another house not fit to own land. This challenge can be answered within 2 weeks. (normally dont the next week, but it can be extended another week if necessary.) If the entire house does not show for a challenge (2 weeks inactivity WITH no one defending), then the challenge is considered complete and the attacker loses. If the attackers lose, the defenders have the right to Immediately attack.

Is there magic on the field? How does it work?

There are no status effects on the field. Things that make you loose control often aggervate people. However, there are 3 types of spells. Spells are represented by beanbags.
Damage (red): Damaging spells effect who they hit. It is nothing more than a thrown weapon. There is no elemental magic in the story world of Igrayne. Least, no one that can control it. Damage Spells can be dodged, blocked, and parried.
Healing (blue): Thrown same as a damage spell. Spell must make contact to work. This will completely heal all limbs of a living character.
Ressurection (yellow): Not throwable, set the spell on the ground near a dead player. 10 seconds of "cast time". Caster not able to attack (or spell interrupts). Physically, the caster has to count to 10.

This message is to announce Jason's bachelor party this weekend. All battlers have been invited to his bachelor party. The party is THIS SATURDAY from Noon till Sunday Morning.

Here is the timeline for everyone:

Saturday:

Noon: We all meet at my house (30 chip drive, 63366 - contact me if you need better directions).

1pm, we leave, headed to Eagles Landing Marina, and to my boat.

2pm: We're on the headed to Captain Jacks via boat for some drinks and fine cigars. During thius time we may hit up more than one bar. At some point, we'll be back to Jacks for dinner (great bar food there).

5:30: We head to the beach and set up camp, make a huge fire, and whatever part of us is not wasted, wont survive. We'll be battling, drinking... did I mention I have Viking hats for us? Chances are we wont make it too far past dark before we're passed out.

Sunday Morning: Most likely, up at the crack of dawn, we'll clean up camp, and head back to Eagles Landing. We'll pack up, and head back to my house. Transportation from my house to eagles landing and back will be provided.
