| | <fs medium>For structured, tailored story and world changes, players need to group up or join in on existing [[https://www.13thrones.com/wiki/doku.php?id=player_factions | Player Factions]]. Staff will work directly with a player leader to curate content requested of their group. That said, anyone can work towards goals outside of that structure, but you will need to engage with the world organically to promote response. Please read on for all the ways to do so.</fs> |

| <fs medium>We at Requiem consider the most interesting stories to be the interactions between the individuals (players) navigating the world and each other, and thus, the main event. However, for lack of better term, we consider the "Main Story" to be the world persisting in the backdrop of the players.</fs> | <fs medium>We at Requiem consider the most interesting stories to be the interactions between the individuals (players) navigating the world and each other, and thus, the main event. However, for lack of better term, we consider the "Main Story" to be the world persisting in the backdrop of the players. The best way to get caught up on events in game is to check out the most recent [[https://www.13thrones.com/wiki/doku.php?id=frontier_herald | Local]] (Frontier Herald) and National (Republic Sentinel) Newspaper.</fs> |

But a well organized, roleplayed arc of you and your best buds planting a bomb? We can definitely do some stuff with that.</fs> | <fs medium><fc #DFB77C>We’ll have metrics like reputation to inform us what happens next, but well organized, roleplayed efforts can have additional effects on the story:</fc> A single person showing up to an event to try and wipe out the Foundry is very likely going to fail horribly for that individual.

Associating with one NPC faction may get you access to special events but lock you out of events with another. Likewise, certain actions your character takes in-game may lock you out of certain avenues of roleplay. I.E. Breaking the law in the Fort may lock you out of Foundry events but open up avenues for the Forlorn Hope.</fs> |
