Knightly Orders
Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:09 pm
Knightly orders work for the rulers of certain settlements.
The Orders are:
Knights of the Dragon – Daggerfall
Knights of the North – Northpoint
Knights of the Newt – Evermore
Knights of the Wolf – Farrum
Knights of the Flame - Jehanna
Knights of the Owl – Camlorn
Knights of the Rose – Wayrest
Here's my idea. Seeing as the Bretons in High Rock are more interested in becoming legendary heroes through questing, why not use the Knights order factions as the MQ? An series of spectacular quests across High Rock would fit the province's theme much better than some generic war campaign, or assassination plot. Rather than a single story quest we could have multiple stories, 1 or 2 for each city. Like Imperial guilds but on a much larger scale.
The only foreseeable problem would be the fact that lore states a player can only join one order, but I imagine this could be amended: the player can freelance in all of the orders, but can NOT become a "lord" or "duke" through a knightly order unless he leaves all the others. So a player could do all the quests for all the orders, and decided he enjoyed Evermore's order the most, and wants to take over that order. If so, he has to resign from the other orders to recieve his new title, and a keep/fort/manor in the corresponding orders political territory.
Quest ideas:
Dragon: perhaps the most important order, quests could involve putting down a rebellion, hunting down some bay pirates, plundering a barrow due to some ghostly activity.
North: the Eltheric Coast is a harsh, inhuman regions where even the locals dare not venture at night, so this order could include some quests involving necromancers and some sort of army of the dead, if applicable.
Newt: Bog-friggen-monsters, the Eeir Moor could have a real English mysteriousness to it, people could be going missing, human sacrifices are being made, the Newts have to put a stop to it.
Wolf: It'd be too cliche to include werewolves here... But werebears would be cool, and somewhat ironic.
Flame: No idea.
Owl: No idea.
Rose:I'd like to see some skirmishes with the Orcs.
