Allanaki Nobility Role Call - Power, Privilege, Decadence

Started by Rahnevyn, April 26, 2014, 09:12:18 PM

The city-state of Allanak has existed for longer than anyone alive besides Tektolnes can even remember. For 99% of its inhabitants, the city is an unforgiving, hardscrabble place, indeed a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

But it doesn't have to be that way for you.

The nobility of Allanak lead a much different life. Waited on and attended from the time of their birth until their death, they enjoy a life of privilege and decadent luxury. They are educated, pampered, and of course, wealthy far beyond their needs. Some nobles take the Highlord's gifts and choose to do nothing at all with them, living their entire lives indolent and relaxed inside their estates. Others, especially Fales, enjoy going out into the city and bringing their luxury with them, giving the denizens of Allanak brief bits of revelry among their dreary lives. Many nobles scheme and plot to grow their own resources and gain titles and recognition at the expense of their peers inside and outside their family; House Oash counts several of these amongst their numbers. And at the top of the food chain, the image-conscious Borsails, rich beyond imagination, set the standard for what all nobility ought to aspire to, even as they struggle to put a fiery past behind them.

Think you'd like to see this side of Allanak? Ever wanted to win Armageddon without using any skills besides contact and sirihish? Confident in your abilities to scheme, plot, and keep minions busy carrying out your plans? Then we encourage you to submit an application for an Borsail, Fale, or Oash noble.

We are looking for players with:
- Energy and passion for their roles
- An interest in and familiarity for Allanak culture and politics
- Active playtimes
- A track record of long-lived characters
- Prior experience in leadership or leadership-ish roles and/or coordinating RPTs (not required, but definitely a plus)
- And oh yeah, a kickass character concept

Please submit your Role Applications for your House of choice no later than Sunday, May 4th. In your application, please describe why you feel we should choose you based on the criteria above, and include a proposed character name, description, guild/subguild, a brief background/concept, and proposed ideas/plans for your noble.

Got questions? First, check out the helpfile for Sponsored Roles and the documentation on Allanak and its noble Houses, and then feel free to ask in your request or on the GDB as appropriate.

Looking forward to seeing your applications!
