The Freehold

Character Creation Guideline

(NOTE: This section will be removed once the game commences, this points will be required for characters)

You were a human, exceptional in some way. Eventually through trickery, or force you were taken by Loyalists to The Others. (How did this happen?)
In The Realm of the Gentry reality overcame your ability to comprehend it and you would have lost yourself to The Beautiful Madness if you weren't able to hold onto *something* from the real world. (What do you remember? What kept you sane and brought you back?)
You were able to escape, the details are lost to you but you remember the tear of your soul on the thorns, the overwhelming desire to return to your special *something*. (How did you escape?)
You were found by creatures like you, like your master. They carried you away, locked you up, interrogated you, bound you in pledges and eventually let you go. (How did this affect you?)
You found your way into a Motley for safety and to stop the suspicious stares. Bound into another Pledge in the process and more duties. (Which Motley did you join? Why?)
Finally you find the autonomy to search for your special *something* and now you have something you need to keep secret and safe, even from your Motley. For the other Lost would use it to control you if they could. Everyone has a weakness. (What is your Secret and Weakness?)
And as time progressed you made a name for yourself, stories spread. (What rumours circulate about you?)

Freehold Pledges

(Work in Progress)

The swearing of the Freehold Pledge is a day long affair, filled with Arcane ritual, Spirited Competition, Revelry, Story Telling, all of which change year to year. Even the wording of the pledge is constantly being updated, but the pledge as sworn on July 2012 was as follows;

By The Freehold

I swear, by this Bloodthisty Artifact of the First Queen of Summer.

In the presence of The Nemesis, before all the Free Lost who have fallen before me. To The Glorious Monarchs of my Beloved Freehold and their Rightful Regent.

I swear that I shall be faithful to my Liege, to cause him no harm unjustly And to give of my skills to the best of my ability for the good of the freehold. To obey the Laws and the Orders of the Freehold to the best of my ability. I shall render unto him my Loyalty and Subservience.

Should I be forsworn, may Justice be Swift and Abomniable.

By The Monarchs and Regent

I swear, upon this Merciless Weapon, of the First Queen of Summer.

In the presence of the Nemesis, before all the Free Lost who have fallen before me. May the First Monarchs witness and Sanctify my most solemn Oath.

I swear to treat The Lost of Brisbane righteously and to shield them from harm. To guide their abilities with wisdom to the deeper glory of the Freehold. To uphold the Laws and to Rule with Honour and Pride. I accept your Loyalty and pledge my own.

Should I be forsworn, may Rest or Contenment never find me and my Fate be cruelly ended
