<div>==Overview==<br />
{{CaptionedImage|file=Dawn-2914.jpg|align=right|caption=Shield by [[Skian Mhor]]|width=300}}<br />
[[Dawn]] is the land of valour; the classical images of gleaming plate, of brightly coloured banners and traditional heraldic devices provide the imagery for the nation. Where the Marches is gritty and down to earth, Dawn is the opposite in glowing primary colours. There is a sumptuous nature to the materials and tones used, idealistic in design instead of practical. The Arthurian, pre-raphaelite and neo-medievalism movements all provide strong themes and forms to the nation.<br />
<br />
There is a touch of tragic flaw to the people here though also, with elements of Shakespeare's tragedies and Tennyson's poems threaded through their lives, leaving shadow in contrast to all the glorious polished armour.<br />
<br />
''Also see [[Dawn costumes]] and [[Dawn icons and artistry]].''<br />
==Feel==<br />
Arthurian, competetive, gleaming, glorious, romantic, Shakespearean, tragic, triumphant.<br />
==Breakdown==<br />
===Influences===<br />
Idealised high medieval, Pre-raphaelite, Arthurian<br />
<br />
===Materials===<br />
Linen, velvet, silk, damask, brocade, fur linings and trim, butter-soft kid leather and suedes.<br />
===Colours===<br />
The palette is summer, a meadow in full bloom. It’s a myriad of bright, floral colours, accented with some darker jewel shades. Gold, emerald green, bright reds, clear sky blues set off against an occasional sumptuous black. Whatever the colour it should be vivid and lush but remain tasteful.<br />
{{CaptionedImage|file=Willam De Gauvain.jpg|title=A cote with elbow length sleeves, with clean lines, elegant and simple design. The belt and pouch are richly dyed leather suggesting wealth, but metal accents reinforce the Dawnish theme.|align=left|width=250}}<br />
===Clothing===<br />
The classic dress for all genders is a long robe with full sleeves or houppelande. The cloth may be silk, velvet, brocade or fine wool and could be subtly patterned. They are often fur trimmed. These are generally worn over a long shirt, well cut trousers and high legged boots.<br />
<br />
Some Dawnish might choose to wear a dress or bliaut instead, with simple flowing lines and quite a low neck line, possibly revealing a chemise or shift below. Sleeves are again often extravagantly long.<br />
<br />
Houppelandes may be worn over a long shirt, well cut trousers and high boots.<br />
<br />
Headgear for everyone is extravagant, and it is definitely headgear rather than hats. Chaperons are often worn to impress, and the type of headresses worn by Arthurian women are the stuff of legend and fantasy. Circlets and headbands are also popular for all whether made of gold or simple leather.<br />
<br />
Jewellery is exquisite - a jewelled dagger sheath, a filigreed necklace, a pair of combs, even the poorest will have a piece of treasured jewellery handed down.<br />
{{CaptionedImage|file=DawnishSplendor.jpg|title=Plate harness covered with a splendid surcote bearing personal heraldry, hghly ornamented.|caption=Rich colours and fine ornamentation.|align=right|width=300}}<br />
<br />
===Armour===<br />
Most knights wear the heaviest and most flamboyant armour they can afford, often covered with a surcoat bearing their personal or house heraldry. Some will wear mail, some with plated reinforcement, and some a full harness. Knights Errant often wear less armour but everyone who is part of a noble house will sport their colours.<br />
<br />
High quality leather armour mimics the form of plate – breastplates, gorgets with articulated arms, vambraces etc may all be worn and often bear their owners’ heraldry as a form of rich decoration. Full length ‘coats’ of leather scale or plates may be worn alone or under more leather armour.<br />
<br />
The armour is designed not only to protect in war but also to proclaim their glory and make their deeds all the more memorable.<br />
<br />
===Shields===<br />
Shields are highly popular in Dawn, as much for their decoration as their ability to protect. Heater shields are the favoured shape, decorated with personal or household devices. <br />
<br />
===Weapons===<br />
The archetypal Dawnish weapon is the medieval broadsword, but ornate warhammers, maces and axes are also used. Missile weapons are rare; archery is seen as a fitting contest of skill, rather than a glorious weapon of war.<br />
<br />
==Noble costume==<br />
Noble costume should be resplendent. The cut is simple - sleeves may be dagged but are not slashed or puffed - but the fabrics are luxurious, the colours are rich and hems are lined with fur or ermine. Often costume is in house colours or embroidered with the house’s device.<br />
<br />
With dresses, cuts are simple, but the materials, the colours, the linings and the trims are rich, detailed and luxurious. Silk, velvet and brocade are ideal.<br />

</span12><br />
</row-fluid><br />
<br />
==Yeomen costume==<br />
[[Yeomen of Dawn|Dawnish Yeomen]] wear less resplendent costume than their betters, but many are prosperous and most still dream of joining the nobility. They mix easily with the nobility and richer yeomen may look similar to nobles from an impoverished house.<br />
<row-fluid><br />

</span12><br />
</row-fluid><br />
<br />
==Headwear==<br />
Dawnish Headwear encompasses all the more elaborate medieval variety of hats, up to the start of the Renaissance. Headgear for all genders is extravagant, and it is definitely headgear rather than hats. Chaperons are often worn to impress, and the type of headresses worn by Arthurian women are the stuff of legend - henins, crispinettes etc. Regal jewellery such as crowns and tiaras are common for all Earls and powerful nobles.<br />
<row-fluid><br />

{{CaptionedImage|file=Dawnx14.jpg|align=left|width=240|caption=Costume by [http://www.kats-hats.co.uk/ Kats Hats]}}<br />
</row-fluid><br />
<br />
==Jewellery==<br />
Jewellery is an important part of costume for male and female Dawnish nobility. Ideally it should be ornate and bejewelled to emphasize the status of the wearer. Jewellery is exquisite - a jewelled dagger sheath, a filigreed necklace, a pair of combs, even the poorest will have a piece of treasured jewellery handed down. Fillets, circlets and headbands are also popular for all whether made of gold or simple leather.<br />
<br />
<row-fluid><br />
<span12>{{CaptionedImage|file=DawnHead.jpg|align=left|width=230}}<br />
{{CaptionedImage|file=DawnYoungQueen.jpg|align=left|width=445}}</span12><br />
</row-fluid><br />
<br />
==Plate==<br />
The very wealthiest Dawn Knights possess a harness of plate, but it is more than just armour. The nation, house or personal symbol maybe etched, engraved or decorated on the armour. Alternatively a rich embroided cloak could be thrown over the plate. A beautiful surcoat or jupon like the one Henry V is wearing emphasizes the knight’s regal nature.<br />
<row-fluid><br />

{{CaptionedImage|file=Dawn4.jpg|title=Film: Elizabeth, the Golden Age|align=left|width=197}}<br />

</span12><br />
<br />
<br />
</row-fluid><br />
<br />
==Mail==<br />
Mail is highly valued, either worn under plate or by itself. Ideally such armour should include a surcoat or a robe decorated with a house symbol, often a [[legendary beasts|fabulous beast]] like the dragon.<br />
<row-fluid><br />
<span12>{{CaptionedImage|file=DawnArthur.jpg|title=TV Series: Merlin|align=left|width=250}}<br />
{{CaptionedImage|file=DawnArthurKnights.jpg|title=TV Series: Merlin|align=left|width=397}}</span12><br />
</row-fluid><br />
<br />
==Leather==<br />
Leather armour is common in Dawn, and is often worn by [[Yeomen of Dawn|yeomen]] and [[knights-errant]]. It <br />
should range from simple protection to something designed to look as stunning as possible.<br />
<row-fluid><br />
<span12>{{CaptionedImage|file=DawnTyrion.jpg|Title=Game of Thrones|align=left|width=242}}<br />
{{CaptionedImage|file=DawnGreenLeather.jpg|align=left|width=257}}</span12><br />
</row-fluid><br />
<br />
==Shields==<br />
Shields are highly popular in Dawn, as much for their decoration as their ability to protect. Heater shields are the favoured shape, decorated with personal or household devices. The traditional Dawnish shield is a heater or a kite shield. Whatever the shape, a shield is the perfect place for a Dawnish noble to display their personal arms or the insignia of their house<br />
<row-fluid><br />
<span12>{{CaptionedImage|file=HeaterShield.jpg|title=Heater shield bearing prominent heraldic device.|width=200}}<br />

{{CaptionedImage|file=DawnSnowWhite.jpg|title=Film: Snow White and the Huntsman|width=200}}</span12><br />
</row-fluid><br />
<br />
==Children==<br />
Young children are an opportunity for noble houses to display their wealth and power. [[Squire|Squires]] are dressed in robes decorated with the house symbols. Older children, noble or yeoman, want the most expensive clothes their parents can afford.<br />

<quote>“One life - make it count”</quote><br />
<br />
''If you are planning to play an Imperial Orc please read the [[Orc|race brief]] as well as this page''<br />
<br />
Two generations ago they were slaves. They won their freedom by strength and indomitable will, forcing the Empire to recognise the injustice it perpetrated against them. Now they choose to fight as part of the Empire that once they were forced to serve. Bereft of a homeland, they strive to carve out a land for themselves and their children.<br />
<br />
Like battle, loyalty is part of the orc soul. The barbarian orcs feel a powerful instinctive loyalty towards their tribe; they need to feel as if they are part of something larger than themselves. For the Imperial Orcs, the Empire itself has become their tribe. They fought - and still fight - to be accepted and prove themselves the equal of any [[The Brass Coast|Freeborn]], [[Highguard|Highborn]] or [[Wintermark|Winterfolk]]. While they have no land, the Imperial Orcs consider themselves to be part of a single nation, each legion being a tight-knit family that works and lives together but ultimately knows it is part of a great Empire. <br />
<br />
Orcs love to fight, but the Imperial Orcs temper their primal instincts with military discipline. Most are professional soldiers serving with their legions to secure the Empire’s borders, but the Imperial Orcs work throughout the Empire to strengthen it and to carve out a role for themselves within it. Some work closely with the Magistrates, their uncompromising adherence to order making them natural supporters of Empire's laws. Their preachers are active in the Synod, proving to their critics that the orcs not only have souls, but that they can embrace the Way as fervently as any humans.<br />
<br />
They are creatures of two worlds; every orc hears the whisper of those who have gone before in their souls. The ancestors are with them, but they present a great challenge. Their ancestors are old, spiteful barbarians and hateful slaves, who cannot understand the choices their descendants have made. They need to find new voices to listen to, <br />
<br />
Finally, they are a people without a homeland. The other nations look down on them as a vagabond people, fighting in the Empire's wars but having no land of their own. They have no voice in the Senate, and so cannot hope to guide the destiny of the Empire they have embraced.<br />
<br />
Orcs believe they have only one life to live; they strive to burn brightly and leave a better world for their children to inherit.<br />
<br />
===Five things to know about the Imperial Orcs===<br />
* '''Loyal to the core.''' Our loyalty to our legion, our nation and our Empire makes us who we are.<br />
* '''We are citizens.''' We won the right to be part of this Empire and we are proud of our place in it.<br />
* '''We are building a nation.''' We have no lands and no senators - it is down to us to win these things in battle.<br />
* '''War is in our soul.''' Fighting is spiritual and it allows us to hear our ancestors.<br />
* '''Life is precious.''' You have just one chance to make your mark. Do not squander it.<br />
<br />
===What the Imperial Orcs are not===<br />
* '''Traditional orcs.''' While the Imperial Orcs draw on some ideas found in other settings, they have their own unique culture and background. They are not the orcs of Lord of the Rings or Games Workshop's Warhammer setting; many elements of those settings do not fit and have been deliberately excluded.<br />
* ''' Brutal or callous savages.''' Imperial Orcs are few in number and if they are to build a nation they cannot afford to lose warriors every time they fight. They enjoy battle, but they strive to minimize losses and they take no particular pleasure in killing.<br />

__NOTOC__</div>Estherhttps://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/mediawiki-public/index.php?title=Playing_a_barbarian&diff=24353Playing a barbarian2014-04-14T20:27:12Z<p>Esther: /* Making Barbarian Kit */</p>
<hr />
<div>==Overview==<br />
It is not possible for anyone to play a barbarian character as your player-character. All the players at Empire are playing Imperial characters or characters welcome in the Empire. Barbarians are not welcome at Anvil and there are few long term roleplaying opportunities for them there. However everyone has the opportunity to play a barbarian at the event by joining the monster team for one or more of the big battles or the smaller quests.<br />
<br />
Monstering one battle is a requirement for each battle you play in Empire, so even if you don't want to volunteer at other times it still makes sense to approach monstering in a way that will make the experience more enjoyable for you and the other players. Everything that follows is completely optional - but getting enthused about the opportunities to play barbarian roles doesn't just improve the event - it makes the experience of monstering more fun.<br />
<br />
==The Orc Tribes==<br />
In Empire, barbarians are classed as any people that the Empire is currently at war with.<br />
<br />
There are several distinct barbarian powers which represent hostile tribes, kingdoms, and nations. The barbarians are designed to look cool in massive numbers in battles; to provide immersive, exciting and dramatic combat encounters; and to allow a range of interactions outside of combat. Most of the barbarian powers that currently surround the Empire are [[orc|orcs]]. <br />
<br />
There are scores of different orc tribes, all of whom have members spread throughout the barbarian orc lands and even some living as brigands within the Empire's borders. The four most powerful tribes control lands as large as a nation in the Empire and rule over the other tribes that live there.<br />
<br />
* The [[Jotun]] are warlike but honourable, and occupy a large swathe of land to the west of [[Wintermark]] and [[The Marches]].<br />
* The [[Thule]] are dominated by their magicians, and engage in merciless reaving of any lands they invade. They are found across the mountains to the north of [[Varushka]] in an area called [[Otkodov]].<br />
* The [[Druj]] are a comparatively small tribe that uses fear to exert influence over a number of smaller tribes. They are found in the swamps and forests to the east of [[Dawn]] and [[Highguard]] and known for their treachery and their love of terror-tactics.<br />
* The [[Grendel]] primarily occupy a land-mass to the south of the Bay of Catazar, and are kept at bay by the activities of the [[The Brass Coast|Freeborn]] corsairs. They are also found in numbers on the Broken Coast to the south of Urizen.<br />
<br />
The orc barbarians are not a monolithic threat - the tribes may form temporary alliances, but they sometimes fight each other with as much ferocity as they show to the Empire. Smaller orc tribes are scattered across the Empire as bandits, or live outside its borders in numbers. The orcs of the hills between the Brass Coast and their foreign neighbours ([[Faraden]] and [[The Iron Confederacy]]) are a case in point.<br />
<br />
==Creating a Minor Tribe==<br />
Because there are many lesser tribes spread throughout all the barbarian lands, the armies of the Thule, the Druj, the Jotun and the Grendel will normally be led by two or three units drawn from the dominant tribe (played by our skirmish team) but include units from all the other tribes that exist. We have quite deliberately not listed all these minor tribes, so that players who want to get more involved in playing a barbarian can have the opportunity to create their own tribal identity.<br />
<br />
Creating your own barbarian tribe works best if you are involved with a group of players who like to come and monster together at the events. You can agree a name and a simple background concept for who your tribe are, you can even write some simple history if you want to. You can [mailto:empire@profounddecisions.co.uk email us] if you want to check anything or discuss any ideas with us. When you volunteer to play your barbarian characters we'll encourage you to form up together as a unit so you can develop some common experiences from the battles your tribe has fought in.<br />
<br />
Because of the way the setting has been created, if you are playing a member of a minor tribe, that tribe can still appear in every battle. There will be members of your Black Lion tribe living in the lands of every major tribe, so there is no reason at all that your tribe won't be fighting for them on the battlefield. <br />
<br />
==Making Barbarian Kit==<br />
One of the best ways to get the most out of live roleplaying is having nice kit for the characters you play, and many players enjoy making kit. We spend a lot of money buying new kit for our barbarians - but you don't have to rely on what Profound Decisions can supply - you can create your own costume for your barbarian role just as you might for your own Imperial player-character.<br />
<br />
If your group have created their own minor tribe - then that creates many opportunities for creating costume for that tribe. You could choose appropriate tribal symbols for your group and create shield covers or tunics emblazoned with the symbol - you can create a banner with the device on it. Obviously this involves time and effort, but your group will look awesome when they are playing barbarians - and that means you'll get more prominent roles and you'll enjoy the experience more.<br />
<br />
It doesn't have to cost much, there are guides online that show how to create a barbarian orc costume very cheaply. Even just adding a few touches to the armour provided to all the volunteers playing barbarians will make your group look amazing.<br />
<br />
[https://www.facebook.com/jack.slack/media_set?set=a.10151443701199809.563325.560834808&type=3 how do make a very basic orc monster kit for £10] - photo tutorial.<br />
<br />
==Playing the Tribe==<br />
The Imperial characters who take the battlefield are the strongest heroes in the Empire - they are not always victorious on the field of battle, but they are never outmatched by their barbarian enemies who usually fall like wheat before them. Realistically if you are playing a barbarian you can expect to die a lot. There isn't there much point in creating a detailed character identity with a complex back story and a long list of character goals - you won't have much chance to do anything but fight and you'll likely die quickly. Creating a detailed individual character is what playing an Imperial player-character is all about.<br />
<br />
Playing a barbarian is about getting invested in the idea of your tribe's identity and not worrying about the individual characters. The character you are playing is going to get killed - but the tribe you are creating will have a place in every battle. They have a history that endures from one battle to another. If you capture a banner from an Imperial group during a battle in Karsk - you can carry that battle onto a later Varushkan battle to give them a chance to claim it back. By creating a strong idea for the group, you have something to roleplay with whenever you are playing your barbarian tribe that will make the experience more fun.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Overview==<br />
The ''Guardian of Britta's Shrine'' is an Imperial title [[Arrangement for Britta's body|created]] by the [[Imperial Senate]] in Winter 376YE. The position of guardian is a [[sinecure]], requiring minimal responsibility but offering a regular stipend.<br />
<br />
Following the death of [[Empress Britta]] in 376YE, heroic efforts recovered her body and many of her effects from the [[Thule]] barbarians. The body was interred in the swamps of [[Kallavesa]] while her personal accouterments were placed in a [[Necropolis#The Shrine of Britta|shrine of white granite]] in [[Necropolis]]. The eternal flame that burns in the courtyard before the memorial serves as a place of pilgrimage for those wishing to meditate on and show their respects to the departed Empress, whose inspirational example is already seen by many as re-igniting the flame of Imperial Pride following the disastrous reigns of [[Empress Giselle]], [[Emperor Hugh]] and [[Emperor Walter]].<br />
<br />
Some controversy surrounds the sinecure; it is regarded as unconstitutional since it creates votes in the Synod but is appointed by the Senate, allowing the Senate undue influence the Synod. The motion was not struck down by magistrates at the time, however, and so the title stands.<br />
<br />
The first Guardian of Britta's Tomb is Ruth of Highguard, a [[Highguard_religious_beliefs#Steward of the Dead|Steward of the Dead]] belonging to the Cenotaph chapter of Necropolis.<br />
<br />
==Powers of the Guardian of Britta's Shrine==<br />
The shrine is considered to be a congregation. As such, the holder of the title may sit in the Imperial Synod, and possesses 10 votes in Synod affairs (or an additional 10 votes if they already have a congregation).<br />
<br />
The sinecure also provides five measures of [[liao]] to the Guardian each season, to be used as they see fit.<br />
<br />
==Selection of the Guardian of Britta's Shrine==<br />
The title is selected by unanimous decision of the senators of [[Highguard]].

The Sentinel Gate is the portal at Anvil which allows access to far distant battle fields.</div>Estherhttps://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/mediawiki-public/index.php?title=Regio&diff=21699Regio2013-09-01T20:12:26Z<p>Esther: updating to be in line with where the Sentinel Gate and the Regio are at events. in relation to each other.</p>
<hr />
<div>==Overview==<br />
* '''A ''regio'' is an area with a magical aura that exists in the mortal Realm'''<br />
* '''Regio are connected to one of the Realms and draw power from them'''<br />
* '''Ritualists can detect regio and discover their Realm connection with the [[Spell list#Detect magic|detect magic]] spell'''<br />
* '''Ritual magicians can use Regio to create powerful effects'''<br />
* '''Only one ritual can be performed using a regio at a time'''<br />
<br />
An area with a regio in it will often reflect the nature of the Realm it is connected to; an area with a strong connection to one of the themes of a Realm may over decades or even centuries, generate a regio. <br />
<br />
''For example, a Winter regio might form on a battlefield where hundreds have died and their bones been left without funeral rites. A Spring regio may form at the heart of an untracked wilderness. An ancient library with hundreds of books and scrolls or an observatory where men have watched the stars for centuries may form a Day regio.''<br />
<br />
A regio often has an aura associated with it that creates a powerful [[roleplaying effect|roleplaying effect]]. Sometimes these auras may have mechanical effects as well. Neither type of aura can be permanently removed as long as the regio is intact.<br />
<br />
''For example, a Winter regio may have an aura of dread that fills everyone entering it with the certainty that they are being watched by a horrible monster. A Spring regio may allow anyone within its bounds to recover hits with fifteen minutes of relaxation and rest.''<br />
<br />
Some regio are temporary, or exist only at certain times of the year. Some [[Eternals]] can help create a temporary or permanent regio, provided that mortal creatures create an appropraite area for the regio to 'anchor' to first.<br />
<br />
''For example, a Day Eternal may agree to help a group of scholars create a regio in their library provided they create a [[Materials#Weltsilver|weltsilver]] and mithril beacon to go on top of it. A Summer Eternal may allow the formation of a temporary regio on a battlefield at the site where five enemy standards are arranged in a circle.''<br />
<br />
Only one ritual can be performed using the power of a regio at one time. A new ritual cannot draw on the regio while one is already being cast by a ritualist or coven unless that ritual is disrupted. In the event that two groups try to start a ritual simultaneously, ''neither'' of them can draw on the regio.<br />
<br />
===Using Regio===<br />
{{RulesRegio}}<br />
<br />
Regardless of their other properties, regio allow magicians to perform certain rituals that are otherwise impossible. For example, any Winter regio can be used to perform [[Whispers through the Black Gate]]. Any Spring regio can be used to perform [[Thunderous Deluge]]. <br />
<br />
A ritual that affects a region or territory requires the use of a regio in that region or territory; you cannot use a Spring regio in [[Bregasland]] to cast Thunderous Deluge on [[Skarsind]], only on Bregasland.<br />
<br />
===Portals and Regio===<br />
Some regio contain portals. A portal is a magical door that can be discovered with ritual magic. It is sometimes possible to wander through a portal unintentionally. More commonly, a magician uses the [[Spell list#Open portal|open portal]] spell to pass through a portal intentionally.<br />
<br />
Beyond portals lie ''chambers''. A chamber is a common term for a location that is outside the mortal Realm but is not fully part of one of the supernatural Realms. For example, a bleak haunted castle may exist as a chamber reached from a Winter regio. A pleasent glade full of flowers and feasting tables may be a chamber reached from a Night regio. A primaevil forest inhabited by carnivorous giant insects might be a chamber reached from a Spring regio.<br />
<br />
Chambers are often inhabited by lesser Eternals, Heralds, mortals and creatures from both the Eternal Realms and the mortal Realm. Some of those inhabitants can pass easily into either the mortal or Eternal realms, but can only very rarely pass in both directions due to the restrictions on how magical portals work.<br />
<br />
Anyone who enters a realm through a portal discovers that, regardless of how they leave the chamber, they ''always'' depart through the door them came in through. It is possible for Eternals to enter chambers from their Realms, in the same way mortals enter them from the mortal realm. Mortals cannot leave a chamber and enter the Eternal Realm however, nor can Eternals enter the mortal realm through a chamber; each must ''leave through the door they came in through''.<br />
<br />
==The Imperial Regio==<br />
* '''Found only at Anvil'''<br />
* '''Counts as a regio connected to all six Realms'''<br />
* '''Is connected to the entire Empire'''<br />
* '''Enhances rituals performed in the regio'''<br />
<br />
The Imperial Regio or ''Anvil Regio'' is near the [[The Sentinel Gate]] that has stood at Anvil since the early years of the Empire. It is connected to each of the six Realms, and can be used to perform rituals as if it were a regio of any Realm. <br />
<br />
Any ritual performed by ritualists using the Anvil regio can target any Imperial forces and resources owned by Imperial characters in any region or territory controlled by the Empire. For example, the Anvil regio can be used to perform [[Thunderous Deluge]] on any Imperial territory. <br />
<br />
Any ritual performed in the Imperial regio may harness its power to enhance the [[Magical skills#Ritual lores|realm lore]] of the [[Magic overview#Contributors|contributors]]; a character who possesses at least one rank of the appropriate realm lore performs the ritual as if their realm lore were one rank higher.<br />
<br />
''For example, A [[Groups#Covens|coven]] of three characters each with one rank of Summer lore use the anvil regio. They each act as if their Summer lore were rank 2 and can contribute 2 crystal mana to the ritual. A fourth member of their coven who has no ranks in Summer still cannot contribute to the ritual.''<br />
<br />
===The Portal at Anvil===<br />
There is a portal in the Anvil regio, it leads to [[The Hall of Worlds]]. Any magician who casts [[Spell list#Operate portal|operate portal]] on the Anvil regio can travel to the Hall of Worlds. <br />
<br />
Any magician who does so once (at the normal cost of one mana) can then use the spell freely to enter the Hall of Worlds through the Anvil regio for the rest of the event without needing to spend additional mana.<br />

[[Category:Imperial Titles]]</div>Estherhttps://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/mediawiki-public/index.php?title=Imperial_Orcs_military_concerns&diff=21602Imperial Orcs military concerns2013-08-24T00:52:02Z<p>Esther: /* Imperial Armies */</p>
<hr />
<div>At present there are just two Imperial Orc armies, although both are over-sized, roughly fifty percent larger than other Imperial armies. Plans have been mooted a few times for splitting the forces to create three armies, but the two armies were created when the orcs joined the Empire and have a long and noted history that few orcs are willing to give up - most take great pride in their army's achievements. Imperial Orcs are also aware that much of their political unity arises from the tight-knit nature of the armies and the legions attached to them and they are keen to prevent their loyalties being divided amongst too many armies and generals. Ultimately though the biggest consideration has simply been the practical costs involved in reforming the orc armies - the costs involved, the loss of efficiency as the armies are reorganized and the time in barracks required to complete the change. <br />
<br />
The Orc generals face a number of difficult challenges. With no land of their own to defend, their troops are free to fight on any of the Imperial borders but this also robs them of political influence in the [[Imperial Senate|Senate]]. They are keenly aware that their military strength is their strongest advantage and that they must use it to the [[Imperial Orcs territories#The Plan|best advantage]] of the Imperial Orc nation, deploying their forces where they can bring the most benefit. While the most political capital might be accrued by going where the fighting is heaviest, this brings with it commensurate losses. Other nations are likely aware of the Imperial Orc desire for land, and the best Orc generals know they must be careful not to have their patriotism exploited to increase the influence of another nation at the cost of Orc lives.<br />
{{CaptionedImage|file=OrcsFighting.jpg|align=right|width=400}}<br />
The barbarian orcs harbour a particular hatred for the Imperial Orcs, often singling them out on the battlefield where possible. The Imperial Orcs have learned to use this to their advantage, exploiting the hatred the barbarians feel for their Imperial cousins to encourage them to make foolish tactical decisions. When fighting alongside the [[Navarr]] for example a legion may lure an opposing band of barbarian orcs into a prepared ambush, drawing the brunt of the opposing forces forward so the Navarr thorns can engage their flanks.<br />
<br />
Although orcs strive to preserve themselves and their legion, cowardice is one of the most heinous of crimes – an act of self-preservation which threatens others. By contrast, the truest form of courage an orc can show is to give their life so that the legion can survive; it is difficult to become an ancestor if you fall before old age, and as this is the very zenith of orcish achievement, it takes a truly selfless orc to make the hardest sacrifice. Tales are told of such heroes, but they are always tinged with regret at the waste of life. Every orc that falls in battle is seen as a cause for sorrow, an early death prevents them from becoming an ancestor as well as diminishing the strength of the legions.<br />
<br />
==Pit Fighting==<br />
[[Pit-fights]] are a significant part of Imperial Orc culture, a revered practice that entertains and unites orcs in the Empire. Some individuals find themselves drawn to the experience of the pits, returning to fight there over and over. Some are drawn simply by the adrenalin of the experience, finding the roar of the crowd and the adrenalin of the challenge is too addictive to resist.<br />
<br />
The very best are able to become professional pit-fighters. They trade on the reputation for skill and strength that they have built up in previous fights, until their notoriety means that other orcs begin to seek them out and actively challenge them. Most pit-fights are fought for joy of battle, some are fought to settle grudges and establish a rough pecking order. A professional pit-fighter can charge for the right to fight them because an orc wants to make a name for themself beating one of the best or perhaps because they want to learn something from the fight. The best pit-fighters are not just warriors, they are experts at working the crowd to a fever-pitch, so some orcs prefer to fight them just because the onlookers make the fight so much more rewarding. The taboos against betting on a pit-fight do not apply to making your own living from it - and the best pit-fighters are legends - at least amongst the orcs.<br />
<br />
A few pit-fighters see their role as more than just a great way to make a living. Pit-fights are a deeply spiritual experience, for participants as well as for onlookers. The energy of the crowd, the adrenalin of the battle beckons to the [[Imperial Orcs religious beliefs#Imperial Orc ancestors|ancestors]] and draws them closer. Many pit-fighters hear their ancestors urging them on during the fight and this experience is what drives many orcs to return to the pit over and over again. It is even more important for Imperial Orc shamans who need to commune with the ancestors and consult them to offer their guidance for the warlords.<br />
<br />
As a result some skilled pit-fighters are closely associated with the [[Shamans|shamans]], working with them to decipher the wisdom from their words and determine what advice the ancestors are trying to communicate. These fighters see their job as a calling, they compete to make their battles as dramatic and exciting as possible, the better to allow themselves and the shamans to hear the voices of the past. Shamans often query fighters on what they heard, if anything, while fighting, but pit-fighters who emphasize the spiritual side of their calling will often ensconce themselves with the shamans for hours afterwards, working together to make sense of the ancestors' words. <br />
