When we reclaim our homeland, there will be a place for all races under the sun, joined in perfect harmony to create a better society, as my father once strived for, and to purge the Orcs from the face of this world!
~Sir Adrian


The Knights of Woodrow

Driven from their homeland of Woodrow by Orcs, these knights come seeking refuge, and time to gather strength to reclaim the Island of Woodrow.

OOC Information (and Guild Lore)
The Knights of Woodrow is a militant group of soldiers who lived in harmony with many races, but hate Orcs for taking their homeland, the Island of Woodrow. The Orcs were given large steel plated warships with oars, and started to flood onto the shore, slaughtering towns and villages on their way to the castle. After the Orcs breached the castle, and the king was slain, the heir to the throne, Sir Adrian, ordered a mass evacuation. Currently, the Knights of Woodrow gather their numbers and strength in order to take back their homeland.

The Knights of Woodrow's main practical purpose in Regalia is to eliminate ALL Orcs. The secondary purpose is to assist people, and for RP.

Just a note, that wouldnt be a thing, given weapons and armor in the city by anyone without permits is highly illegal... that would have probably turned into a slaughter via Imperial Guard to the face lol

Otherwise, looks cool

Seeing as the guards don't have anything REMOTELY that good, and IF (that's a pretty big if) they attacked my guys, I think the guards would get slaughtered. But... If there were to be negotiations, then it would work.

Imperial Guards have a serum that they habitually take and are addicted to that makes each one as good as like 8 men. But -shrug- XD

Like, high key Blacktanks but double the skill and triple the strength.

I just want to mention that I highly doubt you have enough men in your group to even challenge a single Guard unit, much less the entirety of the guards, and even less so the Imperial guard. If groups and gangs were judged on the amount of NPC warriors they claimed that they had as opposed to the amount of actual members who signed up, every group in regalia would have a full army at their disposal.

Some contradiction there...all races? Purge the Orcs?^^
 
I don't think you can just make yourself heir to a country and as far as I know, Woodrow isn't a location in lore.

As well as that, having arms and armour is illegal in Regalia unless you have a weapon permit or are a member of a guard order so you would likely find the Regalian Guards, likely Imperial Guards and maybe members of the Regalian military or Rosewood order bearing down on you.
 
Honestly, even the wiki says it, Regalia's land forces are bad, and mostly comprised of hired warriors and farmers, so... Yeah. But I do know lore. I'm not a noob.

Viridian, Turall, and Lancyon are described as being some of the most premier fighting forces in the world, as well as being backed up by the Nordskagger hordes and other countries. Sure Regalia proper's army may be lacking in comparison to their navy, but they have many colonies that excel at it and have some of the best Military Schools and Warfare technology in Aloria.

Please do keep in mind that there are hundreds, upon hundreds of city guard, that not taking into account of the numerous armies, landforces, the navy. etc. The law enforcement of Regalia would never allow one man, let alone hundreds as seen in the picture into the holy city of Regalia. I'd also like to point out how insanely expensive the amount of armor presented would be. There is a reason the city guard only half plate, it's because of the resources, and currency required.

While Regalia is more known for their Navy, they still have large masses of soldiers, guards, etc. Bluesteels, Black Order, Black Hand, White Order, Holy Confessors, The Obermark Theatre--- I would continue, but I'd much rather send some links. https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Regalian_Government#Curia_Militum
https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Military
https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Regalian_Navy
Etc, etc.(far more links, im just too lazy to get them.)

Please keep in mind I am not lore staff, meaning that this is purely a peer statement. I would suggest speaking with some people to make this plausible, and more compliant.

I think I'm speaking for everyone when I say we aren't trying to make you give up or anything its just that your idea needs some tweaking to work.

Firstly, armour and weapons are illegal in Regalia. Military Grade Equipment is highly controlled, so while you might be able to acquire some form of weapon, you won't be getting full plate armour or the likes.

Secondly, you can't make yourself heir to a place that doesn't exist in the lore. I really like the backstory but it needs editing. As to how you could keep a similar vein of story, I'm not entirely sure but it's a discussion that you can take up with lore staff I'm sure.

Also, as has been mentioned, Regalian forces are pretty tough, so squaring up to them would end rather horribly.

If you really want to get this idea going, I suggest tweaking your backstory and then trying to become an approved charter, which could allow you to possess military grade equipment. To do that, I believe you need 4 members and reasons for all the privileges that you want. You may also want to attempt to attain nobility to be granted lands.

Just some pointers to help you out. Like I said, not trying to shoot you down, it's just so you are aware.
 
Yeah uh. Royal blood characters that aren't approved by staff, (Even then, theres only 2 of them.) Specifically any fallen kingdoms, lost empires, and vague mysterious islands, isn't allowed.
 
Seeing as the guards don't have anything REMOTELY that good, and IF (that's a pretty big if) they attacked my guys, I think the guards would get slaughtered. But... If there were to be negotiations, then it would work.
Majority of the City Guards are Skaggers, so, magic blue rage goo is a thing.
Also @Lore
 
Why are people still here? The OP hasn't hopped onto the forums in weeks, and most things that have been posted in the past week has already been said twice in some shape or form.
 
While it is clear that the original content may need some tweaking to fit in with our Lore in our compliant Roleplay settings, there's no need to gang-tackle the OP as if one calm and respectful explanation isn't enough.
Oh and for a few facts.
  • There is not many people who play Orcs anyways. You'd likely have a hard time trying to find one to 'purge.' You'd have more luck with Elves.
  • Why would a group of knights be helping someone escape guards? That just...shows they are helping someone who's broken the law, and makes them also break the law. Not really something knights would do. Sellswords maybe, but not knights.
  • You cannot create kingdoms and royal families and just implement it into the lore. Its not possible, period.
  • Imperial guards would beat even an Orc, easily. A group of knights would be no problem.
I can speak confidently knowing that Orcs would destroy this attempt at an army of knights. I myself play a black tank Orc, and i can guarantee that he could beat any soldier you threw at him. But thats enough bragging.
This is pretentious, indicates you are a win-roleplayer/powergamer, and incredibly rude to the OP. This is not appropriate for our forums nor our community.
lol u can have woodrow back; us Orcs were really dissapointed to find out it was imaginary when we took it over
This also isn't cute. Sarcastically humoring someone who might not know as much of the Lore as you do does nothing to improve the community and bring people together. It only drives newer individuals away who might have had a great and creative concept to bring to the Roleplay scene.

@soldier_of_sky I'm willing to lock this thread and help you make a new one that is more in lines with Massivecraft's Lore, if you would like. Just lemme know on this thread. :)

I wouldn't have, but not only do I genuinely mean no harm in my commonly laid back sarcastic banter (honestly it's an anti-Orc group and I main an Orc atm like pls), he also specifically pointed out the following:

But I'm also not ignoring your point: I won't do anything passive aggressive to them unless it's purely "Orcs are good u are bad".

Also Orcs are good and u r bad ty

My second message, I can agree is a bit harsh. i more did it for the humour value of my own mind. I apologise for that. However my list is just pointing out the flaws and such, and ensuring he knows some OOC knowledge, that isn't indicated in the lore, and based on the state of the player base.

  • It is true that not many orcs are played, and that if he wants a Suggestion on what to purge, It would be elves. It makes more sense from a lore point of view, as well as an OOC view.
  • It is also true that knights would likely have chivalrous beliefs, and as such, would likely not help criminals escape from the guards. Now, Sellswords might just do that (Playing one currently, And have done so atleast once.) Once more, it is merely a suggestion to perhaps switch it to more of sellsword route, rather than a true militia.
  • Finally: Powergaming and win-roleplay? I can guarantee you, This I am not. My Orc so far, as had no kills under his belt IC, nor any maims. And any other character i have played have often lost many a time. Its rare to see me 'win' in roleplay. I don't blame you for thinking this, but after a fair few years within this community I know that win-roleplay and powergaming is just sad and childish. Hence why I point it out, or acknowledge new people that it is powergaming.

Thank-you. I'd really like to take you up on your offer. Lets make this thing lore compliant. I feel like it would be a nice addition to game, once it's chopped down to size, and fit to compliance.
 
I am going to point you in the direction of the Hightower charter as it seems to fit the militaristic guard you were looking for half a year ago. https://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/the-order-of-hightower.62879/

Alternatively, there is a knight's registry charter which allows more knight-based individuals to join in if they get approved by the overseers of the charter. This group if redone would have to make some public presence before joining, however.
