Lord of Altera
Stormhold
Description:
Stormhold is the capital of House Lonmar. It is one of the oldest and largest cities in Altera, with over 50 inhabitants. Within the great hall, the Lords of the houses within the alliance sit, and hold council with one another. The lower region holds dark, cobbled streets which sprawl through the various shops, inns and houses of the city. The noble upper region has organised streets which lead to the hall and the square behind. The city of Stormhold holds Thyrien as its god of worship, with the church holding various ceremonies throughout the year. Stormholdians take pride in their city's military prowess which is constantly growing through compulsory town guard service. Loyalty is the city's demand of its people, and loyalty is what all citizens return.
History:
Most cities hold most dearly their past of riches and prosperity; Stormhold can boast no such thing. The City itself was founded from ruin for it was where refugees of grief stricken lands in the north settled. One camp rested on the foothill of an ancient mountain, long since forgotten by the dwarves that had mined it. But they lived on: farmed the fertile grounds; bred animals; mined. 20 years passed, the city developed from small tents to small buildings, yet they were still primitive. The camp was prosperous, and with prosperity comes jealousy and desire. Pirates came from the shores; orcs from the hills; even men wouldn’t let the land stay free. The town, which had been ravaged, split. Different families spread throughout the surrounding areas in their foolish hope that it would be better, more peaceful maybe.
Stormhold, or what was left of it, struggled onwards. The town was no more than a sparsely populated village but the sense of pride grew in the hearts of all the townsfolk. 200 Years after its creation, Draco came to the land, for he too was a refugee escaping the destruction that his homeland only now offered. With fierce determination burning in his heart he saw a future, which no man had dared to see. Could Stormhold be what he spoke to the people, a world power, a fierce enemy and prosperous ally? Of course the villagers did not know it yet, but it could and it certainly did become just what Draco spoke of.
Leadership:
Draco Lonmar (dracoboy2) is the Jarl of Stormhold. His leadership and expertise have kept the city prospering for many years. However he also relies on a number of assistants:
Dreago Bowstrider (07jhollid)
Ulrych Lonmar (Tomahawk777)
Vidar Lonmar (Bigeasy1998)
Faelin of Eldor (cherrysparx777)
Gurtha ??? (SparkInSpace)
Atkar Lonmar (atkrye)
Tywin Lonmar (hawtyoungstud)
Rules:
Design Scheme: Here in Stormhold we try to maintain the norse/viking look. Most players find it hard to grasp but we have plenty of builders in town to help you, or build for you. We use cobble for the first level trim and sometimes as the wall material. Cobble stairs are used on the roof with a log trim. The roof is the most important aspect of the house in Stormhold. It uses logs to overhang and at the top it overhangs further. Instead of increasing by 1 block in height every time, sometimes it will increase by 2. These tall, overhanging roofs define Stormhold's look and I am very strict on enforcing it. The building should use log trim, this should be pine or oak but not jungle or birch. The wall panels should be normal planks, birch logs or in some cases pine planks.
Roleplay: We like to role-play as much as possible and to the top of our ability. Most of us in the town are of norse/viking origin. Some people role-play as other races, and that is allowed, but we don't permit any races which don't make role-play sense in Stormhold. For example why would a High Elf be living in a norse town? (Elves are permitted though, and if you can role-play a good reason then whatever race you are is permitted). If anyone is obviously ruining or disrupting role-play then action will be taken. Of course i won't kick you from town on the first occurrence, but if it is repeated then that might be the best way to deal with it.
General rules::
- All builds must go with the town design scheme, and must be permitted by the mayor or assistants.
- Abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.
- Griefing will be questioned, if its major then you will be banned from the server and town.
- You must maintain role-play to the best of your ability- ruining of role-play will be dealt with accordingly.
- Don't mine on this world, use the Southern Wilds or Eastern Frontier for that.
- Don't cut the trees inside the city, once again use the Eastern Frontier for resources.
Joining:
If you wish to join our community and live in Stormhold, there are two ways to go about it. You can post an application here, which either I or an assistant will read and accept. When we next see you online we will invite you to the house and add you to the region. You will then probably be put in a pre-built house for a day or two to ensure your loyalty to the town and activity on the server.
In game name:
Link to server application:
Link to roleplay profile or a quick character background:
Another way is to come around in game and ask to join. You will be assessed on your roleplaying ability and then an assistant or I will add you.
if you can't find anyone hit us up on the teamspeak (atleast i'm there almost all day)
