Empire

New Player Email

Hello there

Welcome to Empire!

If you've received this email you've indicated that you're new to lrping or at least new to fest lrping and we just want to welcome you to the game and give you a couple of pointers for your first event. Empire have a new player team who are here to offer you support and any advice or guidance you might want from us.

We're running a new player session in the Hub – this is a big Red and White stripey tent in the middle of the field, between the Senate and the Marches camp, on Friday between 4 and 6 pm. Anyone with a radio will give you directions if you can't find us. This will be Out of Character. Please come and see us. We're there to answer any questions and give you any advice or help you might want. The skirmish team will be running Fight Club, an introduction to combat and what we expect in skirmishes from 5.30. This is usually held just outside the Monster tent. Feel free to visit both, either or none of us during that time as you want. Over the weekend we're also available, your egregore can contact us for you or please ask in GOD (the white tent near the main gate into the field where games operations run from) and they can contact us for you. It's what we're here for; if you want any help or are just a bit lost please come and find us!

There are plenty of places to start with Empire and you can have a great weekend, doing almost anything you want.

In camp somewhere will be your national egregore, some of the nations have more than one, these are characters placed by us in each nation whose purpose is to uphold the national identity and offer support to all in a nation. They aren't your ruler or leader, you don't have to interact with them if you don't want to but they can point you to other players with similar interests, advise on matters of national interest and probably have ideas about plots and missions going on. Try and find them, they are very useful!

The Civil Service aren't player characters, they exist to carry out the functionary work for the nation so the important people – you! - can get on with being heroes! They are mainly based in The Hub; this is a big tent full of people near the Forge and the Senate. This has plenty of notice boards in it which are full of information about different things going on, senate motions, the Conclave meetings, Synod and Bourse details. Go peruse, chat!

The Senate is another solid structure near the centre of the fields, here the Senators meet to discuss and pass motions. There's a public gallery at the side, go watch a Senate meeting, find your Senators and see if they're doing a good job for your nation! The times will be up in The Hub, get there early to get a good view!

Magicians can get to the Hall of Worlds and mix with other mages, join orders, vote in the Conclave and bump into Heralds of Eternals who use it as a gateway to get to our world.

I also recommend people interested in healing drop into the Anvil Field Hospital. It's player run and located by the Sentinel Gate, I suspect almost anyone on the field will be able to give you directions there!

There's a vibrant social scene too, check out the various taverns in the nations. There are a lot of tea shops – try Sentinels Repose in Urizen – eateries, sweet shops, theatres and traders, all offering you myriad ways to spend your hard earned rings. Take a stroll down the League high street and see who tries to hawk you what. For more martial exploits try The Iron Raptors – a mercenary company looking for people to carry out paid missions, based in the central market area.

The Spring Festival has lots of festivals happening in many of the nations.. Varushka hosts the annual Uncle Vasili Memorial Games and the Festival of Zoria, the Wintermarkers are celebrating the Kilda. Both Dawn and Urizen have flower festivals, wearing and gifting flowers to convey different meaning, different in both nations for added confusion! The Navarr are holding the Welcoming and the Marches will be having their Stewards Games on Saturday, with a game of Foot-the-ball occurring sometime over the weekend.

Check out the player run newspapers for IC gossip, The Torch running out of Urizen and The Pledge running out of The League. Though remember players run them, with all and any associated agendas they may be pushing!
