The Hornblade Estate

[Finktank]

The Charter of Hornblade Estate

As our Grandmother Yondalla directs, we will welcome all kin to our fold with open arms, and help them acclimate to the Ziggurat, and help them make their way home as they desire.
 
With Arvoreen's Guidance, we will protect our people on Ymph, with martial prowess and wit.
 
We shall be clever, and as Brandobaris teaches, use wit and cleverness to obtain what our kin require, without resorting first to violence or threats.
 
With Cyrrollalee's blessing, we shall make the Colony the Homeland that we seek, for all those of us who wish to live upon it.
 
We will encourage the growth and protection of the plants of Ymph, as well as the foodstuffs to feed our people, as Sheela Peryroyl commands.
 
We will strike boldly, and trust in the luck Tymora grants us to gain what will best benefit our people.
 
In the name of Urogalan, we protect the sanctity of the rest for all halflings that pass upon the isle.

 
********************


Background:
To better meld into Ziggurat society, the current halfling faction, the Children of Yondalla, is reforming into a more official Estate. With broader goals that humans, elves, and dwarves would be interested in, we hope to create an influential faction that helps shape the colony and allows us to achieve our goals more effectively

Goals:
• Establish a Home for the halflings of Ymph and their trusted allies
• Restore the temple district and make it a thriving Home within the colony for kin and our allies
• Create trade and better communication with the native Stargazers of Ymph, and welcome them into the Home with open arms
• Teach all who wish to know about Yondalla and her Children
• Help restore the ruins in and around the colony of the Ziggurat
 
Perks:
For Halflings:
• Join a community of your kin that welcomes all with open arms
• A hierarchy of ranks for you to climb in influence within the house
• Promote Yondalla and her Children with fellow kin that understand your faith
• Gain access to potions, wands and equipment from your kin at greatly discounted prices
• Join frequent exploration trips to see the wonders of Ymph
• Meet the Stargazers; or, play a stargazer and find a place amidst other halfling races!
 
For Other Races:
• Join a House that promotes cooperation among races, goodly deeds across the isle of Ymph, and work towards making the island a safer place
• A hierarchy of ranks for you to climb in influence within the house
• Gain access to potions, wands, and equipment at discounted prices
• Join frequent exploration trips to see the wonders of Ymph
• Gain access to scholarly information about Ymph
• Learn about Yondalla and the faith of the hins
 
OOC Perks for Players:
• Faction storage
• Guildhouse and eventually a more permanent HQ building
• Always something to do â€" quests around the Ziggurat or exploring outside the gates
• Never played a halfling? Learn about a race new to you or a pantheon new to you!
• Be different: A human cleric of Yondalla, a dwarven rogue of Brandobaris, etc.
• Room for advancement and to climb the ranks within the estate
• Room for in-house conflict: The snarky Brandobarian rogue that pulls pranks on the stoic Arvoreenite as an example

I should point out that Clerics of Racial deities outside of that race will require an application, but this all looks cool.

Sounds horn-ey

Now that I'm back from my unexpectedly long exile without internet, expect to see more happening ingame with this!

[Halfbrood]

This looks pretty cool. Needs more stoic halfling defenders, and less cute 13 year old halfling children.
