Hey I actually probably won't be going through with that anyways, I have random manic episodes where I get obsessed with random ideas and then lose interest. I'll still follow this though, looks interesting. I do think some sort of central economy would be useful to tie the systems together.

[RoseHeart]

I have those too. The nice thing about the guilds system is that guildmates can share the load.

How about just try out being a guild member for awhile until you're ready for more responsibilities.

Keyforged Outpost Map



A5: The Tavernkeeping Yaranga was built tall for the half-giant founder, Elliot March. The kitchen is in the middle, where the cook can look out to the rest of the patrons. A cooking guild maintain community cooking equipment and regulate its use. As a result of a recruiting related mishap, the Idle guild “tent” has burned down, rather than extinguishing it- they have turned the burning mess into a permanent bonfire. Go here to attempt to cook or brew something.

B4: The Cartography Watchtower was built for getting a better perspective of Keyforged and beyond. Erected with the militaristic sensibilities of the soldier founder, Blacktooth Ripclaw. They study the geography and places of interest, and partition deeds to land for appropriate use. Go here for OOC information, or to start a new guild.

B5: The Adventuring Villa is two stories surrounding a courtyard with terracotta roves. Founded by Bruv Brightbuckle. They log the expeditions of those who wish to leave town to raid dungeons and have a chance of coming back with treasure. Go here to participate in a dungeon raid party.

C4: The Mercantile Tent. They regulate community shopkeeping and bartering.

C5: The Alchemy Tent. They regulate community attempts to brew potions, elixirs, and poisons.

D4: Guildmasters Tent. A place for guildmasters to discuss Keyforged affairs and share their guild's advancements.

D5: The Blacksmith Tent. A smithing guild so the community can make weapons and tools.

E1: The Idling Bonfire began when the founder Mysterious Stranger was given a tent to claim a plot of land, the wooden poles and fabric were dropped on this spot, and never finished. One prospective recruit came here to check the guild out but stumbled and knocked over a lantern. the Idle guild “tent” burned down, rather than extinguishing it- they have turned the burning mess into a permanent bonfire. A passive systems maintenance guild. Here is the community inventory ledger. [LINK]

"An activity all players can participate in that the guild members DM."

I am considering ways we can contribute to this goal. How do the members of the cartography guild feel about drawing maps? For example "placing a guild on the KF map" is an activity "all players can participate in" but is not one that "all guildmembers DM", as I am the only one in charge of it.

I need to know if this kind of drawing on maps is something you'd want to be the guild DMing we do and be willing to participate, or if we need to explore other DMing possibilities if you don't want to draw on maps.

Would someone like to do the report on the South?

[RoseHeart]

The goblin attack is over, and I wanted to see if any of you would like to come up with the next grid guessing event.

Perhaps I could, maybe bim has a escaped little creature he was studying, that might become a problem if left to its own devices

Wonderful! Is there anything you need? I am at your service. I recommend you PM me the coordinate and have me unable to participate.

Would someone like to do the report on the South?

I am going to retire as Southern Scholar, it's a little too much on my plate.

Once Keyforged has reached Kingdom status and a new person has been placed in charge for the next chapter of the game, maybe I can turn my attention to this, though if someone wants to take over the South first, I'd be excited to see what their research reveals to us.


Here are the reports as they appear in the Keyforged thread. If you have revisions for your sector let me know and I will apply your changes.

Spoiler: Distant Places (click to show/hide)

NORTH
Gorm's Maw is a lake that lies some fifty miles northeast, which claims several species of woody shrubs and hedges to it's banks. The lake is fed by a river known as 'Oarsbane', which takes it's origin from a mountain range called Rigg's Spine. The road, terminating at the beginning of arctic tundra, runs through the valley of these intimidating mountains, some hundred miles away from Keyforged.

Fingers of Gorm is a forest that flanks the western edge of the mountains, and is home to many boar, deer and other fauna.

Er-Ur's Fallow is the largest community of Frost Giants in the deepest regions of the north. A swathe of land suitable for farming hardy plants accustomed to the permafrost, and every harvest-tide feast is punctuated by the need to move the village, as it exists in the spot where springtime's fields must be. Beyond that are seemingly impenetrable fields of ice, with glaciers encroaching on the spots these frost giants can live.

Known Races: Wizards, Half-Giants, various ancient creatures

WEST
Great Plain of Empty is by far the closest to our settlement. Despite its name, it is not empty, it just has very few towns and villages despite its large size.

Linara is by far the largest of the forests in the West, at least 2 times as big as any other. It contains many Crowfolk, Ravenfolk, and many others who have made their home there complete with wooden houses on the treetops.

Navafir is the furthest away, the coastal town contains many semi-aquatic creatures of various shapes and sizes. In fact, this is the town with reports of mermaid sightings.

Known Races: Ravenfolk, Crabfolk, various merfolk

EAST
Hills of Armandis are a seiries of mountains that line out across the vast valleys of the east. Beyond the last hills are undead creature, and inside them live many fortresses pertaining to the Dragon King of the East, and perhaps his lair himself.

Raidplains are perhaps the largest stretch of valley in the east. Long plains with few inclines, this open space is seperated out by some of the largest rivers in the land, which make it extremely valuable for farming, and horseback riding. The several nations that live around it tend to be called the River Kingdoms.

All-Forest is a massive jungle that litters a large portion of the southeast, seperating us from most of the conflicts. Contained within it are ancient temples to forgotten gods, and deadly beasts. It is risky to cross it, which may serve in our favor, as it will keep us out of much of the conflict brewing on the other side.

Known Races: Ogres, Goblins, Witches, Golems(?), various dragonkin

SOUTH
Great Marshes

Sword Mountains

Known Races: Lizardfolk, Dwarves

Bim is taking a noticeable amount of time to actually start, so to keep the positive momentum going I will put a cutoff of 3 days for them to get started. After that we'll do a different one. I can run another one, I think I'll focus on monster raids.

Guildmembers,

I've hosted 2 hunts now, but of course in order to help advance Keyforged Progress we need you guys host your own treasure hunts. I will not be doing one this week to see what Keyforged does with the captive. This would be a good chance for your own treasure hunt. The earlier you start, the better. You can do something very similar to my hunts, or put your own spin on it.

[RoseHeart]

C2: The Empty Field. Landscaping that was allegedly cleared by the Idle Guild.

D5: The Smithing Workshop. Building that is big enough to house elaborate workstations and equipment. Founded by the local Aywen Ayes. Enables the community to make weapons and tools. (Crafting)

[RoseHeart]

Here is the new internal ranking system.

Cartography Promotions
Pupil - New Member
Assistant - Host a Keyforged Hunt or Distant Travel
Librarian - Host both
Guildmaster - Manager

Would anyone like to draw a map of their region?
