__NOTOC__
{{GettingStartedHero|phase=7|title=Join the Community|subtitle=One of the best things about Menhirs Fate is the people. Get connected before your first event and you'll arrive with friends already waiting for you.}}

{{GettingStartedChecklist
|title=What you'll cover
|1=Join the Discord and Facebook communities
|2=Find your nation's channels and groups
|3=Introduce yourself and start meeting people
|4=Understand how the community works between events
}}

== Where to Find Us ==

Menhirs Fate has an active community across several platforms. The two main spaces are:

'''[https://discord.gg/kPanzazGYe Discord]''' is the heart of the community. It's where most day-to-day conversation happens, where news and updates are shared, and where you'll find channels for every nation, general chat, and newcomer support. If you only join one thing, make it the Discord.

'''[https://www.facebook.com/MenhirsFate Facebook]''' has the main Menhirs Fate page alongside nation-specific groups where players organise, share costume inspiration, and chat about their characters. It's a great complement to Discord, especially if Facebook is already part of your routine.

You can also find Menhirs Fate on '''[https://www.youtube.com/@MenhirsFate YouTube]''' for event videos and content.

== Find Your Nation ==

Once you're on Discord, look for your nation's channel. This is where the people you'll be camping, fighting, and scheming alongside hang out between events. Nation channels are a brilliant place to:

* Ask questions about costume, character concepts, or lore
* See what experienced players are working on
* Get a feel for the culture and personality of your nation
* Start putting names to faces before you arrive on the field

Facebook nation groups serve the same purpose and are worth joining too if you're active on that platform.

== Introduce Yourself ==

Do this. Post a quick hello in your nation's channel. Something like "Hi, I'm new, I've just booked my first event and I've picked [nation]" is all you need. The community is welcoming and people genuinely enjoy helping newcomers find their feet.

You don't need to have everything figured out. You don't need a finished character or a complete costume. Just saying hello opens the door, and you'll likely get a flood of friendly responses, advice, and offers to help.

{{GettingStartedTip|label=Going solo?|text=If you're coming to your first event without knowing anyone, the community is your secret weapon. A few weeks of chatting on Discord can turn complete strangers into people who'll save you a spot by the fire and lend you a spare sword.}}

== How the Community Works Between Events ==

Menhirs Fate currently runs three event weekends per year, and the game happens at those events. Between events, the online community is a social space rather than a gameplay space. Here are a few things worth knowing:

'''Keep it OC (out of character).''' The online spaces are for chatting as yourself, not roleplaying as your character. The game is designed to be played on the field, and keeping things OC between events makes sure everyone gets to experience the story as it unfolds in person.

'''Assume good faith.''' Tone is tricky over text. If something reads oddly, give the benefit of the doubt. The community works best when people are generous with each other.

'''Stay on topic.''' The Menhirs Fate spaces are for Menhirs Fate. Keep discussions relevant, and be respectful of others at all times.

'''Don't spoil the game.''' Plot and story developments happen at events. Sharing too much online can rob others of the experience of discovering things in play. If someone asks about something that happened in game, encourage them to seek people out at the next event. That generates more game for everyone.

{{GettingStartedTip|label=Need help?|text=If you ever have a concern or need to raise an issue, you can open a mod ticket on the Menhirs Fate Discord. For more serious matters, email conduct@menhirsfate.com.}}

== The Benefits of Connecting Early ==

Joining the community before your first event is one of the single best things you can do to make your experience brilliant. Players who arrive already knowing a few names and faces settle in faster, feel more confident, and have more fun from the very first hour.

It also means you'll have people to ask those last-minute questions: "What should I bring?", "Where do I park?", "Can someone help me with my character sheet?" The community has heard them all and is happy to help.

Category:Build Types

2026-05-21T22:29:41Z

Chris: Created page with "<!-- The interactive map's sync script reads this page and uses it as the canonical list of funded-build types. Edit the table to: - rename a type (change the "Display name" cell) - recolour a type (change the "Marker colour" cell) - add a new type (insert a new row anywhere) - retire a type (delete the row — existing builds with that type fall back to 'other') Format rules:..."

This category is the canonical registry of [[Funded Build]] types. Each row below maps a slug (used in the <code>build_type</code> parameter on [[Template:BuildPage]]) to its display name, marker colour, and a single-character glyph.

The interactive map at the [[Bankers Guild Builds|Bankers Guild Builds index]] reads this table directly. Changes here propagate to the map the next time the sync script runs.

== Type registry ==

{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;"
! Slug !! Display name !! Marker colour !! Glyph !! Notes
|-
| statue
| Statue
| #9c8579
| S
| Carved figures honouring a person, beast, or moment.

|-

| ?
| Fallback for anything not yet captured above. Authors should pick a more specific type when possible.
|}

== Adding a new type ==

Insert a new row using the format below (placed anywhere in the table):

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
|-
| shrine
| Shrine
| #b06a4a
| H
| Small sanctuaries, wayside altars, prayer-stones.
</syntaxhighlight>

The sync picks up your row on the next run. If a build page's <code>build_type=</code> value doesn't match any slug here, the map falls back to the <code>other</code> tint (grey).

== Validation ==

The sync script will skip any row whose:
* Slug isn't lowercase letters/digits only (e.g. <code>Wind Mill</code> won't parse — use <code>windmill</code>).
* Marker colour isn't a six-digit hex (e.g. <code>red</code> won't parse — use <code>#c43d3d</code>).
* Cells are missing — every row needs at least slug, display name, and colour.

Glyph and Notes are optional. If glyph is blank, the sync uses the first letter of the slug uppercased.

Bankers Guild Builds/Funded Builds/Avereaux/Firefly Flourish

Chris: Added map data

{{BuildPage
|subtitle=A Nocturnal Ballet of Flickering Light
|quote=Where twilight becomes a stage for nature’s fleeting sparks.
|lore=
Now nestled deep within Irondelve Hold, Firefly Flourish stands as a living sanctuary of luminous wonder. This tranquil cavern glows each evening as fireflies emerge to perform their delicate ballet—an ever-changing display of flickering gold that dances through the twilight.
The chamber is alive with carefully cultivated mosses, glistening water features, and bioluminescent flora, creating an ideal habitat for these ephemeral creatures. Winding paths invite visitors to wander through a landscape of shifting light, where silence and spark intermingle to transform night into enchantment.
More than just a marvel of natural spectacle, Firefly Flourish has become a quiet refuge—a place of reflection, awe, and fleeting beauty, now glowing nightly for all who step beneath its cavernous canopy.

Template:BuildPage

2026-05-21T21:53:20Z

Chris: added test sync coding

<noinclude>
== Usage ==
A styled page template for '''Bankers Guild Build''' pages — both '''Funded''' and '''Partially Funded'''. Wraps the build's lore, details, and contribution history in a consistent, attractive layout.

Set <code>funded=no</code> for partially funded builds. This changes the contributions heading to "Contributions so far", removes the Bankers Guild crest, and categorises the page as a partially funded build.

=== Quick Start (Visual Editor) ===
# Open a page in the Visual Editor
# Click '''Insert''' → '''Template'''
# Search for '''BuildPage'''
# Fill in the labelled fields — each contribution row has its own Contributor / Source / Amount fields
# Set '''funded''' to "no" for partially funded builds (defaults to "yes")
# Click '''Insert''' to add the template

'''Adding more contributors:''' The template supports up to 50 contribution rows. In the Visual Editor, click "Add more information" at the bottom of the template form to reveal additional contributor fields as needed.

=== Source Editor Example (Funded) ===
<pre>
{{BuildPage
|subtitle=A Hearth of Warmth and Sweet Delights
|quote=Where the oven glows and each bite carries sweetness.
|lore=Your build lore text goes here...
|cost=10 Legends
|location=AVEREAUX — Riverside
|build_code=BG.FSM.01
|nation=Avereaux
|balance=2 Legends, 5 Myths
|contributor1=Character Name
|source1=Nation Name
|amount1=5 Legends
|contributor2=Another Character
|source2=Other Nation
|amount2=3 Myths
}}
</pre>

=== Parameters ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Description
|-
| <code>funded</code> || "yes" (default) or "no" — controls crest display, heading text, and categories
|-
| <code>subtitle</code> || Tagline displayed below the page title
|-
| <code>quote</code> || Italicised flavour quote
|-
| <code>lore</code> || Main body text — the build's story and description
|-
| <code>cost</code> || Total cost of construction. Do NOT use pipe characters — use middot (·) or comma to separate multiple currencies
|-
| <code>additional_requirements</code> || Any extra requirements beyond currency (e.g. Weaving, sign-off)
|-
| <code>location</code> || Where the build is located (NATION — Place)
|-
| <code>build_code</code> || The Bankers Guild build reference code (e.g. BG.FSM.01)
|-
| <code>nation</code> || Which nation the build belongs to — used for categories and back-link
|-
| <code>balance</code> || Remaining balance needed (for partially funded builds)
|-
| <code>contributor1</code> to <code>contributor30</code> || Name of each contributor
|-
| <code>source1</code> to <code>source30</code> || Source/affiliation of each contributor (optional)
|-
| <code>amount1</code> to <code>amount30</code> || Amount contributed by each contributor

== Map & timeline metadata ==

The interactive map at [https://wiki.menhirsfate.com (TODO public URL)] reads the following five parameters off each build page to place its marker and draw its timeline bar. They're optional in the wiki sense — if absent, the sync substitutes sensible defaults — but every authored build should set them so the map can show real data.

{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! What it does !! Format !! Default if missing
|-
| <code>start_date</code> || Year the build came into being. || Four-digit year, e.g. <code>1025</code> || <code>1025</code> (LARP start)
|-
| <code>end_date</code> || Year the build ceased to exist (demolished, lost to the Corruption, sealed off, etc.). || Four-digit year, or leave blank for ongoing. || blank = ongoing
|-
| <code>build_type</code> || Drives the marker's colour and timeline tint. || One of: <code>statue</code>, <code>library</code>, <code>farm</code>, <code>tavern</code>, <code>tower</code>, <code>bridge</code>, <code>temple</code>, <code>market</code>, <code>garden</code>, <code>mill</code>, <code>monument</code>, <code>residence</code>, <code>workshop</code>, <code>other</code>. || <code>other</code> (grey marker)
|-
| <code>map_x</code> || Horizontal position on the nation's sub-map. || Integer in the range [-512, 512]. Origin (0, 0) is the centre of the map. || <code>0</code>
|-
| <code>map_y</code> || Vertical position on the nation's sub-map. || Integer in the range [-256, 256]. Positive y is "north" / "up". || <code>0</code>
|}

To find <code>map_x</code> / <code>map_y</code> for a build, an editor can use the picker tool inside the interactive map app (admin route — coming soon). For now, leave them at <code>0</code> and the marker will sit at the visual centre of the nation map; the picker will fill the real values later.

Menhirs Fate: Unleash Your Inner Monster! (Or Helpful Villager!)

Hey Menhirs Fate adventurers! Get ready to dive even deeper into the world because we're including a system that will make your experience richer and more immersive: '''Monster Slots!'''

'''What's a Monster Slot? '''

Think of it as your chance to step ''behind'' the screen and shape the world for other players! These are two-hour blocks of time where YOU become part of the living, breathing landscape of Menhirs Fate. It's about offering you the chance to actively influence the narrative and provide unforgettable encounters for your fellow players.

'''Here's how it works:'''

* '''Time Blocks:''' The event is divided into two-hour chunks, for example:
** 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
** 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
** 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
** And so on...

* '''Monster Slots:''' For each of these time blocks, we'll have specific "monster slots" available. These represent different roles you could play:
** Forest Kobold - Sneak around the trees and ambush anyone who treads too far.
** Undead Patrol - A never-ending nightmare horde that will drag you under.
** Traveling Merchant - Trade in wares and get people into side plots.
** Corrupted Cultists - Summon dark powers and perform unholy rituals to twist the world.
** Roving Bandits - Get that loot and take it back to base.

* '''More Than Just Monsters!''' These slots aren't ''just'' about combat! Some are set pieces to further develop an area, environmental hazards that change what happens, and more importantly: roleplay encounters which create the storylines that build the world..

=== Monstering Process ===

# In a timely manner for your slot, go to the monster tent, you will be met by the monster management team!
# You'll be split into groups based on whether you're keen to fight or take on a non-combat role step
#* If you're a fighter, you'll be put with the Skirmish Crew and given a briefing by them as to the goals and objectives of the mission. This will include what stats you have as a monster step
#* If you're not a fighter, you'll be matched up with one of the NPC team and given a roleplay encounter to help us run - this might be a patient with a magical illness for players to diagnose, a travelling merchant with wares to sell, someone fleeing the corruption with news from afar or many more!
# Led by our Skirmish Captains or NPC teams, you'll hit the field and enrich the world for your fellow players
# You'll come back when the objectives are hit, and either be sent out on another mission or be stood down
# Once you're done, head back to the IC field in the knowledge that you've helped make Menhirs a living breathing world!

'''Your Role in Menhirs Fate'''

We believe in the LARP community practice of the ‘social contract’. This means that as well as enjoying the game and the game world, you have the opportunity to contribute to making Menhirs Fate the best it can be for others.

'''There's something for everyone:'''

* We would like everyone to take part, so we will make roles for everyone.
* '''For people who want combat!:''' Dive into the chaos as a menacing monster, providing a real challenge for other players.
* '''For people who don’t want to or are unable to fight:''' Take part in our unique series of roleplay encounters that will allow players to immerse themselves even more into the story lines!

'''Prior Notification is Key!'''

We believe you are going to be as excited to do this as us, so we will make sure that those who are expected to be helping out will know in advance!

'''Think of it as your chance to:'''

* '''Shape the World:''' YOU are the driving force behind the stories of Menhirs Fate!
* '''Experience a New Playstyle:''' Break out of your normal character and try something completely different
* '''Use That Fancy Weapon You Have''': Your character normally rocks a pair of rapiers, but you’ve just bought yourself a massive mace? Here’s your chance to play with it!
* '''Contribute to Something Awesome:''' Help us create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!

'''Can’t monster this time?''''''<br />
'''We understand that sometimes things get in the way of contributing to the game through monster slots - this could be for all kinds of reasons. Have a chat with your Nation Support - you don’t have to tell them why you can’t monster, but they might be able to help.

This is all about making ''Menhirs Fate'' the most dynamic and immersive LARP it can be. We're excited to see what you create!

The Corruption

2026-05-20T23:12:23Z

Chris:

[[File:DSC09817-Enhanced-NR.jpg|thumb|602x602px|The force of the Corrupted gather]]
The once peaceful world of Elandra has been laid low by strife and warfare orchestrated by forces now known as The Corruption. This movement worships a tetrarchy of deities, that they claim to be the true Pantheon of Elandra, and that the remaining free peoples of the world know as “The Four”. The direct and most powerful mortal servants of The Four, the generals and high priests of the Corruption, are known as “The Crowned”. They are masters of treachery and deception, and have enacted an assault upon the history and cultural memory of Elandra itself, causing the Fading of Knowledge.

The beginning of the Corruption was subtle, like a cough that heralds a plague. In the waning days of the Age of Legends a new religious movement was founded by a disparate group of fringe priests and mages claiming to have received a divine revelation. Such movements were not uncommon during the Age of Legends, as churches split due to mortal squabbles or theologians reinterpreted the aspects of the deities. The followers of this New Path sought to live in accordance with four precepts;

'''This is what knowledge of the Corruption has survived the Fading…'''

''I shall seek the Plenty that is my due, I shall win it from the undeserving and keep what is mine safe from thieves and parasites.''

''I shall reject received wisdom and all those who hide behind comfortable lies, I will not allow my Truth to be stifled.''

''I shall rise to my true potential through the power of my Will, and stand unflinchingly against any who oppose me.''

''I shall cast aside old ways, I shall never let the expectations or achievements of others diminish me, I shall achieve Freedom whatever the cost.''

Through the machinations of the Crowned and the growing influence of the Four in Elandra the New Path offered tangible benefits to its initiates in a way that other movements could not. By that same growing power there arose a series of “natural” disasters, calamities, and conflicts that the followers of the Pantheon were hard pressed to explain or to deal with. The advocates of the New Path preached that the Pantheon and their servants were falling short of their duty to protect the Realms. Soon the New Path had a foothold in every Nation, people disillusioned with the Pantheon and looking for answers to these frightening new developments.

Thus began the Age of Calamity. Once the Crowned at the heart of the New Path had acquired a large enough following to enact their fell schemes then they performed a series of apocalyptic rituals at key locations of power across the Realms. The Four, whatever they truly are, were at last able to take direct action in Elandra. The New Path then raised the first of the monoliths, its transition into the Corruption now complete, and the voices of the Pantheon fell silent.

With the priests of the Pantheon no longer able to communicate with their deities or wield faith in their name, there was chaos among the nations. None were spared the effects of the droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes which redoubled in intensity. Those trusted to lead in times of crisis seemed to lose their wits, or succumb to despair or paranoia. Monsters ran loose from rifts to the elemental planes, Realms threatened to split apart, the cries of the people went unanswered.

In these disasters only the New Path retained its power. They preached that the Pantheon had abandoned the world and that all the Nations needed to cleanse themselves of the corrupt old ways if there was to be any hope for the future. People flocked to their temples out of desperation and anger, leaders pledged their fealty to the New Path or were overthrown, many of those with reservations surrendered to spare their people from warfare. One-by-one the New Path assumed control of communities, then regions, and then whole Nations. Some fought against the conquest, either out of loyalty to the now silent Pantheon or simply in defence of their own freedom. Those who took up arms were defeated in battle or slain by treachery, the champions of resistance against the New Path were forced to either flee or hide.

As the New Path assumed dominion over the world they brought the monster attacks and natural disasters somewhat under control. Those calamities that continued to occur were proclaimed to be just punishments for the continued wickedness of the world, or acts of sabotage by followers of the false deities. The rule of the New Path was a crushing weight on the Nations; its sacrifice hunters and tribute collectors were intrusive and demanding, its preachers sowed fear and suspicion from the pulpit, its informants were ever present, its enforcers were without mercy, and its iconoclasts set to tearing down anything and anyone that honoured the old Pantheon. The New Path has raised a network of monoliths across the Realms, the Pantheon remains silent, for nearly everyone this has become the way things are.

Of the tragedy that was the Pact of the Nine and the great crime that was the Fading of Knowledge more shall be written elsewhere…

Yet in the bleakness of these reversals remains a glimmer of hope. Through secret ways in the mountain passes, shaded inlets, crystal caves, and living archers in the deep forest arrives a diaspora of disparate peoples fleeing the tyranny of the New Path. Although the refuges they have sought should be hundreds of miles apart, these folk of scattered nations find themselves emerging upon the same unspoilt field before a mighty standing stone. As the refugees seek respite in preparation for a last stand, the remaining priests among them discover a revelation – the voices and power of the Pantheon can still be felt at this monument to their ancient departure from the world. The message from the Pantheon is one of hope. The deities have not abandoned the world, and they are far from powerless to oppose the forces that have wreaked such destruction. This Haven and its monuments will be the beginning of the Reclamation..

The Corruption are a collection of Four Gods. Very little is known about their exact origins and powers and theories appear from every shadow with the same frequency as their agents. They seem to have distinct forces and personalites while working together but the exact relationship between then is unknown like so much else.

Welcome to the [https://menhirsfate.com Menhirs Fate] wiki. This will be an evolving repository on the world of Menhirs Fate containing information about the game ranging from the lore of the 9 Nations to the rules that you as a player will use to interact with the game!

We will be updating this wiki over time with more information about the events we are running to help you prepare to start your adventure in this world and tell stories for yourself and your friends that are part of this world.

== Getting Started ==

=== [[Rules]] ===

The rules of Menhirs Fate will inform you of different ways you can interact with the mechanics of the game to achieve all sorts of wondrous goals. From heroically standing up to monsters on the battlefield, weaving grand magic for epic goals and calling upon the very Gods themselves.

You can find the Rules [[Rules|here]]

=== '''[[:Category:Nations|Nations]]''' ===

Among our first suggestions is to look at the nation briefs and see which of them calls to you.
Maybe their costume brief catches your eye or there’s a piece of lore that draws you in and gives you an idea of something you want to bring to life!
Whatever it is, we encourage you to look through and find one that you enjoy.
The brief that you choose will form a large part of how you engage with Menhirs Fate.

=== '''[[Look and Feel]]''' ===

The look and feel of each nation will explain the costume and the reasoning that ties it into the nation.
These costume briefs are intended to give a unified look to the nation and make you instantly recognisable as each nation but with plenty of room to make yourself an individual.
It also contains information on our approach to aspirational kit and some items that are off brief for the game as a whole.

The Crownlands/The Wonder/Naming Conventions And Group Structures

2026-03-19T23:49:31Z

Chris: Fixed Syntax

[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/medieval-scandinavian '''Old Scandinavian''']''', '''[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/norse-mythology '''Norse''']''', '''[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/swedish '''Swedish''']''', '''[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/swedish '''Finnish''']''', '''[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/norwegian '''Norwegian''']''', [https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/danish Danish]<br />'''Examples:''' Sigurd, Embla, Angrboda, Taki, Sunnifa, Asbjørn, Ingvar, Lykke, Mikkel, Njord, Ragnhilde<br />
<br />
'''Reasoning: '''There are some Norse elements of the Look & Feel, and the simple and hand-wrought living of the people in The Wonder is more inspired by the magical influences that shaped their nation from nothing than the outside nations that neighbours it. Norse and Scandinavian names highlight this difference and separation from the rest of the Crownlands, where they have forged their own path.

'''Surname Options:''' The Wonder’s surnames usually involve the words “the” or “of the” as a preposition, either referencing the biome the character is from or some task that the character does there.

Whole groups often share the same surname if they have the same place of origin, as many biomes require similar tasks to be undertaken regularly as a community to continue upkeep of the symbiotic relationship with the forests.<br />
For example – “Sigurd of the Redwood” “Taki the Green-Willow”, “Njord the Rosetender”, “Ragnhilde of the Gleaming Boughs”

Children and young people are often called by a generational name, to make it easier to determine what child belongs to what parent. These most often take the form of the parent or guardian's name, followed by "-dottir", "-sson" or "-scion". Some choose to keep these names into adulthood.

== Group Structure ==

The Wonderfolk are people that are closely knitted together like nature that surrounds them. As the spanning networks of roots below the ground, they reach out seeking for nutrients. But this isn’t just for the body, but also the mind. They seek and discover, when sated in their quest they put roots into the ground, and soon Groves begin to form.<br />
<br />
Groves are groups of Wonderfolk who have found a place to root down and make a haven amongst the magic and mystic nature of the Wonder. Groves are headed by an “Elder”, the heart of the grove, one that has the ear of the Wonderfolk and has the fire to drive for balance and harmony. In many Groves this leadership can change on the rules of the Grove, many host little yearly games to choose the Elder, others may have votes and others just let nature decide who would lead for the year.

Elders are people of all ages, the word coming from the tree that grows throughout the Wonder’s Biomes and provides all a body could need - berries to eat, flowers to make drinks from, green wood for firewood and seasoned wood for fires, and bark that can make half a dozen dyes to make the world around them beautiful.

However, like the seeds of the dandelion, the sycamore or the swan plant, some Wonderfolk get an urge to leave on the winds, leaving the safety and community of their Groves. Usually one or two get this calling and are open about their reasons to uproot, and they ask the community for help and guidance. Others of the Wonderfolk will join and travel with those that are making a Fellowship, even though the call is not theirs.

A Fellowship usually is led by the one with the calling to set out, however they never led with a unanimous mind set. They listen to all in the Fellowship, as those who join are there to support and help complete the tasks ahead. Many decisions are balanced by the vote but if the scales are even the one with the calling has to choose. What binds them together is a shared goal, whether that is a lifelong quest or a simple task. Priests called Alderbraids will often mark the creation of a new fellowship by weaving a cord with a strand that represents each member, and dividing it up into sections for each member to remind them of the goals they share.<br />
<br />
Some Fellowships last for years, others for weeks, but a bond is bound so tightly amongst those that walk together. Some Fellowships, when the task is done, will listen to nature and see if another quest sits amongst the trees and a new leader is picked for their adventure. Others find a place where they settle their roots and become a Grove and welcome other Wonderfolk and Fellowships for rest and community.

== Example Groups ==

''A group of attendees with a martial focus are interested in being involved with fighting the threat of the Corruption, as well as getting involved with the Adventurer’s Guild. They decide to make a Fellowship called the Scorched Wake, who are refugees from Thornsthorpe determined to rebuild their home in the future.''

''A group of attendees are keen to set up an in-game tea shop, selling potions and consumables alongside hot drinks. They decide to be travellers from a Grove they call the Ivygrip Grove in Gloomgard. One is a Leafwright, while others who are interested in magic are a Groveheart and Greenguide, and as a group they collaborate on weavings.''

''A solo player is interested in fighting and healing, so decides to play a Bloomtender whose Sylvan is fighting with the rest of the Wonder’s army. They take physician skills to support other fighters, and are keen to get involved with the military movements side of the game. At Haven they are the lone representative of their Grove back home, the Larkwatch Grove.''

''A solo player is keen to be involved with the Treasure Hunter’s guild, but is not particularly interested in fighting. They decide to play a Greenguide, who tracks the locations of magical sites and lost artifacts, alongside leading pilgrims on the roads. In game, they get involved with quests by the Treasure Hunters.''

The Crownlands/Avereaux/Naming Conventions And Group Structures

2026-03-19T23:48:10Z

Chris: Small grammar improvements

[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/french '''French''']''', '''[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/medieval-french '''Old French''']''', '''[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/norman '''Norman''']''', [https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/arthurian-cycle French Arthurian Mythology]<br />'''Examples:''' Seraphine, Ugène, Yvette, Fabian, Gauvain, Melisende, Guiscard, Lyonesse, Pellias

'''Reasoning: '''Avereaux and Valdraeth have some similarities that create a “two sides of the same coin” element, which has continued with the two different flavours of Arthurian Mythos that inspire them – Medieval French for the romantic and rose-tinted Avereaux, and older Celtic names for Valdraeth. This is extended to include Norman and Old French for more variation, and

'''Surname Options:''' The most common surnames are the name of the village they are from, or the name of the tavern a party started their adventure in, which adventuring parties usually take as a group identifier as well. Some Taverns have such a pedegree of heroic adventurers who started out at their taprooms that they have their own fame. Commonly the preposition used is “of”, but “de” and “du” are also often used, and shortened to “d'” in some cases.<br />
For example – “Fabian of Brassan”, Yvette du Trouville”, Gauvain du Ebon Floe”, “Lyonesse of the Wind Chaser”

Parties who start out in the bigger taverns usually change the name to define which party of many they are - the Sooty Pigeon has both the ''Pigeon's Roar ''and the ''Sooty Sentinels'', with well known Chevalier Florence of the Pigeon's Roar and Friar Sophia de Sooty Sentinels frequently coming to blows when both are in attendance.

[[File:Slowed_Footage.05_39_51_101.Still008.jpg|center|thumb]]

== Group structure ==

''Group structures are designed to give you a standard on-brief way you could create a group in Menhirs Fate for each nation. There may be other ways to organise but this is how the NPCs back home would be organising themselves as a society to tackle the problems they encounter.''

The people of Avereaux have long held to the belief that the greatest stories feature a rich cast and thus the way that groups tend to structure themselves is with a diverse skillset in mind. The more varied the members are the better; this applies not only to those that set out on dangerous quests together, but also to those that tend the home or work the forges.

As such it is common in Avereaux that lines between friend and family are vague, with some groups staying together for most of their lives and others until a certain job is completed. In either case a party relies on the individual strengths of all of its members as no one person can provide everything. This also means that there is seldom a defined leadership within Parties as all skills are respected equally.

The way of things in such parties is to begin their adventures in one of the many taverns, where notice boards are often placed in the entryway for those seeking opportunities for a new challenge or to seek out new compatriots. If a party achieves any great deed it is common practice to return to the tavern where the party was formed to tell the tale where bards and chroniclers may take note and the tale be added to the many laurels of the Freehold.

Most parties start out locally, dealing with skeleton warriors menacing local farms, or removing magically-infused rats from basements, before touring more widely gaining a level of notoriety in the community. The most famous are not only well-known throughout the land, they command large reward fees for dealing with more dangerous foes. Souvenirs of their exploits can be found in taverns local to the sites of famous battles told in story and song, and many Averlaise trade these between other enthusiasts for particular parties.

== Example Groups ==

''A group of attendees wish to play a classic adventuring party called “The Fellowship of the Gilded Griffin” or the “Gilded Griffins” for short. They have varied skills and interests but primarily are looking to go on quests and make a bit of a name for themselves as daring and courageous. They have 5 members; a Chevalier with sword and shield alongside a Strider with a bow provide the physical combat skills they need, a Hedge Mage in their iconic hat is providing some battle magic support, a Gourmand is providing a series of magical pastries to keep them healed between quests and has a few potion bottles with interesting effects. Finally one of the group is playing the Chronicler who intends to write about the group but has also taken a few faith skills to find their own fun and fill a niche the others dont have covered.''

''A group of attendees are all keen on the magic side of the game so decide to play a group of mages who all studied together in their backstory and now advise different villages in the same region on magical matters. They decide to be from Phoenix Reach, three of them are Hedge Mages, one is a Chronicler who is primarily interested in discovering lost tales of magical derring-do in the Treasure Hunters Guild, and a fifth is a Gourmand. They collaborate on weaving in the Fire Sphere of rites and weavings, but all have their own particular interests. When collaborating they go by the name “The Phoenixfall Five”''

''A solo player is interested in the religious side of things, so decides to play a character who can link up with adventuring parties as and when they choose to. They are keen on the idea of both apothecary skills and faith skills, so decide to play a Friar who was once on track to become a Gourmand before being called to the faith of the Celebrant, and who still makes consumables for adventurers they meet.''

''A pair of characters are interested in trade and exploration, so decide to play a pair of Striders who have been out in the wilds for a long while fighting the Corruption, and get involved with the Court of Daggers to further their martial skills. One of them decides in their backstory that their character has taken over a family business in a freehold and their family is expecting them to become a Freeholder, and wants to explore this opportunity to change their character and how that will affect the pair.''

The Crownlands/Avereaux/Naming Conventions And Group Structures

2026-03-19T23:47:47Z

Chris: Fixed syntax

[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/french '''French''']''', '''[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/medieval-french '''Old French''']''', '''[https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/norman '''Norman''']''', [https://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/arthurian-cycle French Arthurian Mythology]<br />'''
'''<br />]'''Examples:''' Seraphine, Ugène, Yvette, Fabian, Gauvain, Melisende, Guiscard, Lyonesse, Pellias

'''Reasoning: '''Avereaux and Valdraeth have some similarities that create a “two sides of the same coin” element, which has continued with the two different flavours of Arthurian Mythos that inspire them – Medieval French for the romantic and rose-tinted Avereaux, and older Celtic names for Valdraeth. This is extended to include Norman and Old French for more variation, and

'''Surname Options:''' The most common surnames are the name of the village they are from, or the name of the tavern a party started their adventure in, which adventuring parties usually take as a group identifier as well. Some Taverns have such a pedegree of heroic adventurers who started out at their taprooms that they have their own fame. Commonly the preposition used is “of”, but “de” and “du” are also often used, and shortened to “d'” in some cases.<br />
For example – “Fabian of Brassan”, Yvette du Trouville”, Gauvain du Ebon Floe”, “Lyonesse of the Wind Chaser”

Parties who start out in the bigger taverns usually change the name to define which party of many they are - the Sooty Pigeon has both the ''Pigeon's Roar ''and the ''Sooty Sentinels'', with well known Chevalier Florence of the Pigeon's Roar and Friar Sophia de Sooty Sentinels frequently coming to blows when both are in attendance.

== Group structure ==

''Group structures are designed to give you a standard on-brief way you could create a group in Menhirs Fate for each nation. There may be other ways to organise but this is how the NPCs back home would be organising themselves as a society to tackle the problems they encounter.''

The people of Avereaux have long held to the belief that the greatest stories feature a rich cast and thus the way that groups tend to structure themselves is with a diverse skillset in mind. The more varied the members are the better; this applies not only to those that set out on dangerous quests together, but also to those that tend the home or work the forges.

As such it is common in Avereaux that lines between friend and family are vague, with some groups staying together for most of their lives and others until a certain job is completed. In either case a party relies on the individual strengths of all of its members as no one person can provide everything. This also means that there is seldom a defined leadership within Parties as all skills are respected equally.

The way of things in such parties is to begin their adventures in one of the many taverns, where notice boards are often placed in the entryway for those seeking opportunities for a new challenge or to seek out new compatriots. If a party achieves any great deed it is common practice to return to the tavern where the party was formed to tell the tale where bards and chroniclers may take note and the tale be added to the many laurels of the Freehold.

Most parties start out locally, dealing with skeleton warriors menacing local farms, or removing magically-infused rats from basements, before touring more widely gaining a level of notoriety in the community. The most famous are not only well-known throughout the land, they command large reward fees for dealing with more dangerous foes. Souvenirs of their exploits can be found in taverns local to the sites of famous battles told in story and song, and many Averlaise trade these between other enthusiasts for particular parties.

== Example Groups ==

''A group of attendees wish to play a classic adventuring party called “The Fellowship of the Gilded Griffin” or the “Gilded Griffins” for short. They have varied skills and interests but primarily are looking to go on quests and make a bit of a name for themselves as daring and courageous. They have 5 members; a Chevalier with sword and shield alongside a Strider with a bow provide the physical combat skills they need, a Hedge Mage in their iconic hat is providing some battle magic support, a Gourmand is providing a series of magical pastries to keep them healed between quests and has a few potion bottles with interesting effects. Finally one of the group is playing the Chronicler who intends to write about the group but has also taken a few faith skills to find their own fun and fill a niche the others dont have covered.''

''A group of attendees are all keen on the magic side of the game so decide to play a group of mages who all studied together in their backstory and now advise different villages in the same region on magical matters. They decide to be from Phoenix Reach, three of them are Hedge Mages, one is a Chronicler who is primarily interested in discovering lost tales of magical derring-do in the Treasure Hunters Guild, and a fifth is a Gourmand. They collaborate on weaving in the Fire Sphere of rites and weavings, but all have their own particular interests. When collaborating they go by the name “The Phoenixfall Five”''

''A solo player is interested in the religious side of things, so decides to play a character who can link up with adventuring parties as and when they choose to. They are keen on the idea of both apothecary skills and faith skills, so decide to play a Friar who was once on track to become a Gourmand before being called to the faith of the Celebrant, and who still makes consumables for adventurers they meet.''

''A pair of characters are interested in trade and exploration, so decide to play a pair of Striders who have been out in the wilds for a long while fighting the Corruption, and get involved with the Court of Daggers to further their martial skills. One of them decides in their backstory that their character has taken over a family business in a freehold and their family is expecting them to become a Freeholder, and wants to explore this opportunity to change their character and how that will affect the pair.''

Look and Feel/The Urdrevan People

2026-03-19T23:23:38Z

Chris: /* */ Removed unnecessary formatting

= Nation Overview =

[[File:DSC03180-scaled.jpg|center|thumb|The Urdrevan people are masters of living outside of the embrace of "civilisation".]]

A people who have barely needed to change their way of life in a thousand years, The Urdrevan are nomads, and the central force of trade in the Commonwealth between the city of Hammerplatz and the seas voyaged by Portavas. They live by the road, and alongside the gigantic beasts they tame and herd there.

The Urdrevan are a people often on the move, so practicality goes hand in hand with style for them. They value well-made items and take good care of them, as materials can sometimes be scarce.

Inspiration has been taken from real-world sources such as Ancient Scythians, the Mongol Empire, Rus warriors, and media inspired by them, especially the fantasy Barbarian trope. Clothing is often made from materials they have to hand – leather and fur from their pack animals or their prey, with feathers, antler and other tokens used as decoration<sup>[[#6fa5d06a-3a6e-4eee-88bf-bbda4779f46c|1]]</sup>. Other fabrics are often undyed or in natural colours – browns, beiges, soft greens and blues, and decorated with painted motifs.

Most often these motifs are images of the animals that are most important to their group in a celtic knotwork style, and a key element is the constellations that they navigate by – the stars in a particular location on a day of importance are recorded and painted onto clothing as a remembrance and celebration of the travel they have taken part in.

The Urdrevan prefer clothing that is well-fitted and gives them some flair – personal reputation is important, and some of the finest tailors in the world travel with Urdrevan convoys. Mongolian style wrap-coats and doublets, and jerkins with a more historical European flavour work well, and elements like chunky ‘hero belts’ or layered ‘war skirts’ often used in orc costuming from other larps can pull together a Urdrevan outfit.

== Colour Palette ==

Natural colours; browns, beiges, greens, ochres, misty blues, russets.

Sturdy leathers, suedes, canvas, calico, furs and feathers.

[[File:Menhirs-Fate-proposal-V1.2_20241221_233235_0000.png|center|thumb]]

== Themes And Key Words ==

''"Travelling traders", "strongholds and settlements", "Beast-herders", "Beast-riders", Megafauna, Nomads, This nation is heavily inspired by Barbarian fantasy tropes''.

The Urdrevan people's clothing is almost entirely created from the world within which they survive - using what they can to craft beautiful items for themselves and their kin. Most of the nation follows the migration patterns of a particular animal, from dire-ostriches to ankylosaurs, mountain lions to aurochs, and only rarely gets to see the sights of a settlement larger than a Hostelry. They are not wild or feral, however - their society is complex and most Bands spend a week in Hammerstadt as part of their annual Ranging, having their animals sheared or tended, selling reagents harvested from their vast lands, and picking up items that are more difficult to find or fix on the rolling plains.

Clothing is practical but characterful - layers that can be built up to deal with varying weather conditions and climates. Many layers are made from the materials that can be harnessed from the natural world around them: leathers, feathers, chitin, claws, shed scales; as well as wool, cotton and flax collected as a band travels though the landscapes that can be processed and turned into basic cloth.

Bands decorate their clothing, with both the images of the particular kind of beast that they travel alongside, and constellations that represent the routes they travel and the locations of important moments in their lives. Fur mantles, often made from furs harvested from the beasts they tend or those beasts' prey, are a common item, worn both for warmth and to create an imposing figure that speaks to the skills of the wearer.

[[File:6.png|center|thumb|Trio of Urdrevan figures by Katie Clark]]

== Fantasy Inspiration ==

* Fantasy media with Megafauna as part of the setting.
* “Barbarians” from tabletop settings and fantasy realms.
* Free folk and wild people living alongside more "civilised" cultures in fantasy settings, who utilise the natural world and survive in a magical landscape.
* “Orc” style costuming, without the orc masks. Layered organic materials, pieces of antler, feathers, fur, lamellar, chainmail or scalemail used in scraps, War Skirts and mantles.

[[File:1000005969.png|center|thumb]]

== Historical Inspiration ==

Base layers are based on Anglo-Saxon cuts; tunics, wrap coats, long dresses and cloaks cloaks.

Some Rus elements, such as lamellar armour, baggy "rus" pants, legwraps and warm layers.

Scythians, the likely origin of the Amazon of Ancient Greek mythology, also have some elements we can use such as artistic motifs.

Some historical Mongolian depictions may also offer some inspiration into tailoring and layering materials within a nomadic animal-focused culture but please ensure that culturally important elements are not used such as traditional Mongolian hats.

[[File:Skythian_archer_plate_BM_E135_by_Epiktetos.jpg|center|thumb|[http://armstreet.com armstreet.com]]]

== Headwear In Urdrevan ==

Headwear is more rough and ready than most nations, with hairbands and hair decorations common, especially made from leather and materials that reflect the animals a band work with<sup>[[#a40a6cde-ca8d-48de-b30d-aaa0a11b340e|2]]</sup>.

Fantasy variants like headdresses made from the beasts encountered on the road may also be appropriate.

Simple cloth hats are also worn, and scarfs that can be utilised to cover the head in bad weather.

Simple fur-trimmed hoods may also work, but take care to make sure they are not decorated with dagging, which is a key costume item in Valdraeth, or ending in a V-shaped point in the front, which is a key costume item in The Wonder.

== Key Costume Items for Urdrevan ==

Key Costume Items are elements of the Look and Feel of each nation that are a cultural part of what makes up that nation, informed by their history and societal norms. Ideally, an outfit for any nation should aim to incorporate at least one of the Key Costume Items to ensure that characters are recognisably from their nation at a distance!

=== Key Costume Item - Animal and Constellation Artwork ===

Urdrevan Bands use a group animal emblem to symbolise the animal tamed and looked after by the Band in question.<br />
'''''NOTE: Celtic Knotwork, la Tene artwork, Insular Artwork, Anglo-Saxon art and similar European styles are best used for this to avoid Native American “totems” and “spirit animals”.'''''

Constellations are also a common motif, used throughout their clothing as a wearable map - for a nomadic nation, using the stars to navigate, and making maps thereof, is an essential part of their culture.<br />
Maps could be painted onto fabric, with memorable locations noted on them too - places of births, marriages, deaths, along with the migrations of animals.

=== Key Costume Item - Warskirts ===

Another item of clothing that is worn throughout Urdrevan is the warskirt. These are heavy, practical items, part apron, part battledress, part armour.

These are usually made from leather or thick canvas, and whatever other materials are at hand. They protect the wearer when sitting (or falling) on damp ground, can provide a portion of armour, and are a canvas onto which Band symbols of constellation and animal art can be painted.

These are often made from scraps, built up over time, with the ragged edges of the materials used left unhemmed and asymmetrical. Usually when a much-loved piece of armour or clothing reaches the end of its useful life, parts of it are incorporated into the warskirt of the original wearer or made up into a new one to be passed on to someone else.

== Armour For Urdrevan ==

Armour amongst the Urdrevan people is piecemeal, usually collected over time and homemade. A wide variety of fantasy styles are appropriate, especially ones that use polyurethane and stamped leather or faux-leather to mimic the hides of extinct animals that are among those megafauna that roam the lands.

=== Light and Medium Armour ===

* Padded armour layers such as gamesons, aketons and arming jackets work best in neutral colours rather than black.
* Leathers are worn extensively as clothing and armour, and a mixture of the two.

[[File:468940396_10170061943415165_6680014748075493530_n.jpeg|center|thumb|Image courtest of McSkelly Leathers]]

=== Heavy Armour ===

* Chainmail of all kinds is worn by the Urdrevan people, and scraps of chainmail from broken or worn-out mail hauberks are often added to warskirts to reinforce them and repurpose them.
* Lamellar, made from metal or from the chitin and scales of great beasts.
* Brass and bronze plates built into other armour to add decoration and reinforcement.

[[File:803cc408a9aad253b59fbd39eaaa25af.jpeg|center|thumb|[https://www.instagram.com/metalartisans/?hl=en Metal Artisans]]]

== Helmets ==

* Rus-style helmets, with or without plumes.
* Rohirrim-style helmets.
* Spangenhelms.
* Spectacle helms.
* Round helms.
* Styles that look like they could be made from the carapace and other harvested materials of giant beasts.

[[File:Screenshot-2024-12-10-at-00.16.57.png|center|thumb|[http://theknightshop.com theknightshop]]]

== Weapons In Urdrevan ==

* Two-handed weapons are common - greataxes, greatswords and warhammers.
* Ambidextrous fighting - paired axes, swords or paired mage weapons.
* Cavalry sabre-style curved swords and fantasy/ancient versions of the same such as khopesh.
* Hunting spears and glaives that can be used when riding or on foot.
* Shields, when used are not uniform; they tend to be asymmetrical, homemade or bodged together from other materials. Some are visibly second-hand, traded from other nations and painted over with Urdrevan motifs.
* Compound bows and short bows are most common as they can be most easily used around animals and while riding, however some prefer crossbows.
* Weapons made with bone, horn, scale and tooth elements.

== Archetypes In Urdrevan ==

Archetypes are particular types of character in each nation, which offer a framework of the default types of mage, priest, warrior, artisan etc within that culture, and a way to think about designing a character who fits into the nation as a starting point, in order to encourage a cohesive nation that can make choices about individuality from that point.

These are by no means exhaustive, but the examples below depict some flavours of common character types and the costume elements that are often worn by them.

[[File:DSC03087-1-scaled-e1731955216128.jpg|center|thumb|Star Seers are part astrologers, part astronomers, part agony aunts and part confessors.]]

=== Star Seers ===

Star Seers are to Urdrevan bands what Navigators are to Portavan ships, utilising the stars to navigate the vast plains and ensuring their bands don't get lost along the way. Most are weavers, using Earth and Air magic to guide their band, both literally and figuratively using Oracle weavings to divine possible outcomes and interpret omens pertaining to their bands.

Star Seers spend time thinking and divining, sitting still while others may be active around them. They often wear large coats, embroidered or painted with constellations, usually with a motif of the ones they meditate on most.

[[File:DSC03124-scaled.jpg|center|thumb|Shepherds protect their people, honing a variety of skills alongside their martial abilities.]]

=== Shepherds ===

Shepherds protect the flock - both animal and human - as fighters and scouts connected to bands. For most Urdrevan, it is a Shepherd who first teaches them to use a bow or wield a sword, training in the long evenings after making camp. They are usually versatile in the arms they can wield, although some of the most sought after Shepherds have specialised in one weapon to the exclusion of all others and travel from band to band on the most dangerous routes through Urdrevan.

Shepherds are usually lightly armoured, ready to take action in defence of their people.

They are the most likely to wear mantles that blend them in with the beasts they protect, giving them some camouflage from those watching from afar.

[[File:DSC03197-scaled.jpg|center|thumb|Drevan are the shock troops of the Urdrevan, both mounted and on foot.]]

=== Drevan ===

Professional mercenaries, known as Drevan, have plenty of dealings with folk from other nations, and are often obliged to pick a side in their disputes if they want to earn coin. In centuries past, these warriors were once all that was known of the Urdrevan people to outsiders, raiding nearby nations on the backs of their beasts.

While they rarely attack their allies in this age, Drevan are nonetheless a fearsome force to come up against in battle, fighting in bands for money or under contract for more long-term jobs.

The Drevan are usually heavy fighters, they celebrate surviving each day, and honour fallen comrades by incorporating pieces of their warskirts and trinkets into their own, building up over time a tapestry of victories and losses that tell their story.

== How To Put Together an Urdrevan Outfit ==

* An emphasis on homemade, animal-derived items, layered and asymmetrical in styling.
* Neutral-coloured base layers, cream or brown cotton tunic or dress, with or without sleeves
* Simple baggy trousers or leggings in a neutral colour
* Leg wraps or fur-trimmed boots
* A mid-layer, perhaps sturdy linen, canvas or calico, perhaps faux suede or repurposed sheepskin coat, painted with constellations and the animal sigil of the group they belong to.
* A “War Skirt”, of the type often seen in Orc costuming, made up of a patchwork of materials and able to be homemade from second hand items.
* A fur or feather mantle, using materials sourced from the beasts tamed by the group (or their prey).
