Post by Galryth Winterborn » August 29th, 2021, 8:06 pm

Basics & Logistics

1. Have you read all of the prerequisites and considerations and do you agree to abide by them?
Yes
2. What is the name of your intended Faction?
Guardians of the Eternal Flame (The Guardians)
3. What is the expected or intended size of the Faction in terms of player characters? 5-10

4. What is the expected or intended size of the Faction in terms of its’ lore concept, and/or including NPCs? 40ish

5. Roleplaying wise, how influential will the Faction strive to be? Will it tend to stick to itself and not make waves, or will it try and become a household name? How will the Faction accomplish this level (or lack thereof) of influence and reputation?

The Guardians will be a re-establishment of an older order in spirit, with the agenda of erecting and establishing a stronghold of "last resort" in the First Province. An area that can be retreated to and house people in case of an outbreak or attack from inflicted. It will also strive to develop and maintain negotiations and peaceful relations with and between all the other factions. It will do this via negotiations between the other factions as well as hosting, and preparing for events such as training drills, simulations for an afflicted outbreak, as group hunts to beat back the Dae and walking dead that are already within the area (Aiwella, Eyeless, etc.) Its first goal will be to rid the southwestern isle of the small pirate infestation and zealots to create a more secure pathline for travelers and loggers before setting up base camp.

6. Does the Faction have any unique colors, sigils, banners, or signage that uniquely identifies it? What is the significance of it?
A sword and shield wreathed in flame. The colors are a dark purple and a light blue

Goals & Future

1. What purpose, direction or goal does the Faction have in the world at large?

To prepare for the oncoming war with Resolve and afflicted, and to serve as the last stand of defense should it come to it. A place for the storage and accumulation of supplies, food, weapons, armor, and munitions, and logistical center for the upcoming war efforts.

2. What purpose, direction or goal does the Faction have within the quarantined First Province in particular?

The purpose is as is stated above, along with helping and training those that wish to be a part of it, arming the citizenry who would aid in such a fight, and taking in of folks for other training as well. Some of these ideas include an "apprenticeship program" for up-and-coming crafters, regardless of factional affinity, where they would be given resources freely to use to practice their craft and leave the final products in exchange along with guidance on how to get better at their craft. (For instance, a new engineer will make gains by making gears, rather than make it myself, Id allow a new engineer to use our ingots to make them so they may make gains, and leave the gears there.)

3. Role-playing wise, what would the Faction seek to accomplish within the next six to twelve months? What are their immediate and long-term goals?

Set up a base of operations, establish and maintain diplomatic relations with the other factions, attempt to gain knowledge of activity outside of the province and intercept any knowledge of incoming threats as soon as possible, and to organize and facilitate multi-factional responses to such threats.

4. Is the Faction famous or infamous for anything in particular? Will it strive to be famous or infamous for anything in the near future?

This incarnation of the Guardians is not known for anything. The founding unit of the Guardians were known for being part of the Three Hour War and taking part in the slaying of a numbered Resolvist.

Concept & Community

1. Please provide the Discord handle of the intended Player Leader of this Faction that will serve to liaison with the Staff in the future:
Galg
2. Please provide a summary as to the out-of-character purpose of the Faction, what sort of role you feel it will fill in-game (trading guild, PVP, PVM, etc.), and what sort of player character you intend to attract and/or support with the Faction in general.

I want to start a group that will serve a long-term purpose as well as provides some player-run events and serve as a "new player" helper faction where I am recruiting newer players and helping them learn both UO and RP. I have some members who have never done either, and I am aiming to try and attract more people to the game.

Supplemental

1. If you have anything additional you would like to publicly share with us, to include in-character write ups, descriptions, organization structures or even custom logos and sigils, please provide them here:

I cannot draw a straight line with a ruler and have no artistic talent to create a cool sigil like these other wonderful factions...you will all have to you use your imagination. Thanks however to the artistic ability of Haltfire, we have an emblem
