Andoran houses

[belgar]

If you've got some spare time consider this.

National clans will soon be operable, now a prerequisite to
being a noble in a national clan is that you will have to belong
to a house within that nation.

Each house will require 
   1. an Estate,
      major houses = 10 rooms
          can be gardens, inside the house, etc
      minor houses = 5 rooms
          just the inside of the house
   2. a lord, 
   3. a maid, 
   4. 2 guards
   5. 1 door guard

Nobles that need Estates. Note, the Estate needs a name of its own.
Ex. The Oakhill Estate
----------------------------
  House-name      House-sigil

  Ankerin      - White Leopards
  Talkend      - A golden Winged Hand
  Maran        - a Cross-Hatched Red Wall
  Armaghan     - Oak and Axe
  Anshar       - 
  Baryn        - 
Great: 
  Sarand       - Golden Boar        
  Arawn        - silver Triple Keys
  Caeren       - a star and sword
  Marne        - Four SIlver Moons on a field of Twilight blue
  Mantear      -
  Haevin       - 
  Gilyard      - 
  Northan      -
  Traemane     - 
  Coelan       - 
  Pendar       -                    
  Carand       -                    
  Reshar       - Fice Silver Stars
  Norwelyn     - 
  Taravin      - Owl and the Oak
  Trankard     - 
----------------------------
Any house without a sigil will need one.

Note:
  Estates need to be laid out like:
    
    0 1
    | |
  2-3-4-5-6
  | |   |
  7-8   9

  #2
    A Small Wood Paneled Study
    DESCRIPTION
       Must be minimum 4 full lines.
       Cannot use the word 'you'
       no 'feelings' or any other 'impressions'
       no telling what people are or have been there
       no weather, seasons, noises
       -its easiest to write a description if you realize that 
         you are writing about the room your in, not where it goes
	 or what stops it from going somewhere.
	 If you notice that your constantly referring to 'Off to the south'
	 or 'Outside the window' etc, recheck which room your describing.

Rewards will be done by the work shown.

Rewards can be as little as IC gold or as high as IC cpts in a national clan.
There will be no altering talents, special abilities etc.

Either posts your work here, or email it to [e-mail]

A small point

I will remove any estate from the list that has been finished, so you won't need to ask me if it has or has not been previously done

Houses are going to be a pre-requisite to national ranks, so... if your looking to RP in a nation, you might wish to help make this part a little bit easier

[Tular]

Trakand's sigil is the Silver Keystone

also, there is a really minor house (impoverished) with the Heart and Hand as its sigil. The lord and his daughter are killed by the darkfriend, Milli Skane, and she takes over the name. (can't recall house name off hand)

[belgar]

where'd you think this tular?

[Tular]

The Silver Keystone was flying along side the White Lion on Caemlyn's walls, since Elayne, as High Seat of House Trakand, held the throne. Its mentioned elsewhere in connection to her House too.

The reference to the Darkfriend that kills the impoverished lord and his daughter is I think at the beginning of Winters Heart, where Hanlon(sp) sees her forcing Jachim Caradin to drink to his death through a funnel.

[Serik]

Is this for all to work on with cps attributed to the correct nation clan or is it just for Andorans?

And I am not exactly sure what you are asking for...Is is sigils, room desc, mob descs, room layout, etc.?

[Merl]

Are you saying that we can get a house together now?

[belgar]

Well Merl, Houses, and by that I mean for Families of Noble Blood, are in the works, slowly, but still there.
The basic principal, is that inorder to progress through the ranks in a nation, you'll need to belong to a House, or a noble family. there will be methods of players creating their own houses, but it will be hard, and it will require dedication. This is a necessity due to the amount of work it will take to set up a house on the imm side of things.

Basic idea.
1. You'll have to prove your more than just a vagabond
by working within that nation.
2. Then, you'll have to prove your worthy of some responsibility by working at a trade.
3. A few other steps MIGHT need to happen, but eventually you'll gain your own plot of land to manage when you become a landowner.
4. You'll be required to pay taxes to the house AND make a profit above that before you'll get to be a Lesser Lord.
5. At the rank of Lesser Lord, you'll still be entitled to your estate's profits, but it turns into nothing more than a report you'll receive each RL month with the profits/losses added/withdrawn from your bank account.
6. Basic process is to gain rank within your house to such a point your elected to become one of a set # of Lords. then, Eventually the High Seat, and if it goes well, King/Queen..........

What if i want to buy a house from some street in Caemlyn without being a noble nor playing the Daes dae'mar?

Can that be possible at all?
