So who does have the map?

Me! RL stuff got in the way mostly, but if you guys feel I'm slowing it down I could add Tell's labels, mine own and send it off on the way.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sounds like a plan.

[pisskop]

whats the waitlist like?

[Child of Armok]

Are there still slots free for a house?

House
Name: The House of Shadowkeeper
Leader: Gorlok Stoneholder
Territory: Ragoth, Center of Stone, a city in the center of the harsh, cold, rocky mountains in the East.
 
Ragoth is a very old city, build by an old civilization and then abandoned. Fugitives and other people eventually found there home there. From these people a leader rised, named: Milon Stoneholder. This, of course, drew the attention of <insert kingdom's name>. And the people knew they would lose a war, so they quicly surrenderd to <    >. But after a small inspection of the city by the new rulers, they quicly forgot about the little city, and left it in peace. But the people didn't forget it. Oh no, they want to be free and from that moment, they where trained as warriors ( Sparta style ), so they would never have to see another surrender. And from that suffering, a religion formed, where they worshipped Solon, god of pain and shadow. And now, after Milon's funeral, his son, Gorlok, takes charge over the city.


Gorlok Stoneholder: He grew up in a stone city and is used
 to climbing and living in harsh conditions. His father trained him in the art of archery and swordfighting.
His training as soldier has made him hard and strong, and his training of his father to one day become the leader of the city , made him wise and patient.

Solon: Powerful God who is worshipped by the people of Ragoth, Center of Stone.
He's cruel but helps his servant bear the pain.

I think there should be a deadline like 24 hrs on map edit. Otherwise people can just wait forever.

[Zrk2]

I think there should be a deadline like 24 hrs on map edit. Otherwise people can just wait forever.

I think 48 would be reasonable.

Seconded

[Tellemurius]

Considering some of us have busy lives, i rather put i around 72 to 1 week total for map privilege. (im in college dangit )

[Aklyon]

A week is pushing it a bit, this will take quite awhile if people keep the map for a week and nothing happens in the thread.

[evilcherry]

Yes.

I propose the 48 hr countdown starts right now.

[Aklyon]

Or the 72 hour one?

[evilcherry]

Or the 72 hour one?

72 then, benefit of doubt.

[Kamin]

I'm of the opinion that if you don't have time to get the map done within a day or two (max), you shouldn't claim the damned thing. It's rude and holds this whole process up. I, for one, would like to see what everybody has planned out for it so far.

My character and hes background and place within the tribe. ( Be warned it is long )

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Name :  Umbra Of Nex ( Shadow Of Death )

Title : Ranger Commander of the Stonecrow Clan.

Serves : Kamin Stonecrow

Background : At the age of 23 the Stonecrow clan challenged my clan the Woodwolf clan to a champions fight.
I was that champion.
But i refused the challenged declaring that we should fight as soldiers to the last man. But the headman refused and accepted the call and so i vanished into the forest and was followed by 17 of the clans best bowmen and hunters for i was my clans best hunter.
My clan's new champion failed the challenge and the Woodwolf clan joined the Stonecrow clan.

Me and my men fought the Stonecrow clan for weeks. One ambush after another we slew there warriors leaving no trace of battle and no body behind. My clan had the rare gift to tame wolves and with us went 4 dire wolves that aided us in tracking.
Weeks later low on arrows and exhausted from constant battle we believed we had there leader in our sights but when we entered there camp under cover of night we were surrounded by over 300 men. We fought every one of us carrying a sword and an axe and believing ourselves to be doomed we attacked the ambushers in a berserk fury. We slew many , the ground was covered in blood and bodies before we where knocked unconscious at the order of there lord in hes anger at losing so many men.

When we awoke we were told we would each fight one of our brothers as amusement for there leader. And so seeing the chance to give them an honorable death we fought and 9 of us were left. Having witnessed our skill in battle and having lost over 100 men hunting us before the trap Kamin Stonecrow then laid a choice upon us. Serve him , Train a core of fighters in our own skills and make him the undisputed master of the clans. Or watch our families butchered in front of us before we died.

And so we serve him and the 9 of us that survived have the brand of a crow on both cheeks and every other member of our clan living or born after that day had a brand placed on there left cheek.

6 Years have passed and a lot has changed. My daughter trained as a ranger from the day the deal was struck serves now as my lords personal bodyguard and assassin. She is betrothed to he's son a lazy slob with no fighting skill but he adores her and that is enough.

The 9 of us that lived have done our work well.
The stonecrow clan now has a 100 man strong ranger regiment commanded by me and the regiment is split into 4 bands of 25 each with 3 dire wolves for tracking and more being bred ready for the next rangers bands.
The other 8 survivors form my personal guard each one has a dire wolf companion and the alpha wolf is my own companion.
A further 100 rangers are training even now and standing guard on the mountains observing and slaughtering all who are not of there clan who try to pass over them. Every ranger is a master marksman and an expert at concealing himself and have dire wolves for tracking there chosen victims.
In those 6 years many unfortunate souls have ventured into the forest which the Stonecrows call home. None have ever escaped alive.
Every ranged has a crow branded on hes for head the day he's training is completed as a mark of honor and loyalty to the rangers.
To the Stonecrows the rangers had a very different name.

The Hominibus Mortuis ( The dead men ). Because they never left one of there fallen on the field resulting in whispers amongst the Stonecrows that the rangers were never truly dead. These whispers spread far and fast along the trade routes until they where heard in every corner of the realm.



For clarity's sake ill be describing the rangers here.
Rangers are the tribes elite ambush troops.
They were all black armor and face plates as depicted here.

They all carry a Recurve bow with a quiver of 45 arrows. 1 Short sword and 1 Battle axe.
They are the very best the clan has to offer at what they do they are marksman and hunters who and are near impossible to see at night or in a forest and when there bows fail them they fight with a berserk fury with 1h sword and axe.
There armor is made out of leather with metal rings in it. They also have a hood and face plate.

It was a combined effort from me and Kamin to explain how i came to be in the clan and it kinda snow balled until i just made a little story out of it.
