The Knights and Nobles Council of the Realm
To see clearly, unclouded by prejudice,
To act fairly, unhindered by bias,
And to put, above all else, the good of Osterra.
The Knights and Nobles Council consists of individuals honored for elevating LARP Adventures through consistent, selfless service to the Realm.
All players may request assistance or guidance from Knights and Nobles
Knights and Nobles act in service to the Game and Organizers
Players on the Council may have “of the Realm” or “of Osterra” after their name.
Knights and Nobles of all titles are considered equals.
Commitment to Serve
Like the Skill Path Guilds, this Council has both in-game and out-of-game meta elements, with the primary responsibility to promote safety, fair play, immersion, and fun within the game and players at large. Players recognized for their service need not be aspiring Knights or Nobles in-character. New Council members are selected for enduring impact, stellar temperament, and frequent contribution to the Game-- not tied to Faction, story achievements, moral alignment, or in-game power.
While being Knighted is an honor, joining the Council is a commitment to service taken very seriously. These individuals assist the Organizers directly, making events run smoothly. It’s not a title conferred lightly, or without responsibility, and it results in a specific title and/or moniker granted to honor the player. Interestingly, the Council tends to consist of people who aren’t primarily motivated by titles; the best candidates are driven to help regardless of an incentive.
Structure
The Council recognizes a division between Knights and Nobles. Typically, this divide is immersion-based and organic, with Knights serving marginally more physical roles and Nobles taking more non-combat responsibilities.
