..::[Knights of Laconia]::..

In a distant land, the peace and prosperity of the entire Realm relies on the actions of a select few. At a very young age they leave their families to begin a new life of service. They are brought to a large temple in a secluded village. Appointed Councilors raise and teach the children and prepare them for knighthood. By the time they have completed their basic training and are 10 years of age, they will no longer be able to reside at the temple. Their training must continue under an appointed Guardian. You are the Guardian. An experianced knight yourself, it is up to you choose a child to become your apprentice and complete their training.

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/KoLaconia/Thread%20Graphics/Stage1.jpg"" align="left">--= [Kid] =--

During this stage, your knight is completely dependant on you. He/She is a little shy and possibly unsettled in their new environment. The best thing for you to do is nurture them along and encourage them to make friends with the other children. Make sure their quarters are comfortable and you can begin preparing them for training.
After your knight has adjusted and has completed basic training, an elder guardian will stop by the home and give the child a real weapon that will allow them to further their training and even spar with other children ((at their guardian's discretion, of course)).

<center>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</center>

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/KoLaconia/Thread%20Graphics/Stage2.jpg"" align="left">--= [Teen] =--

At this stage, your knight should be, or should be becoming pretty competent in their skills. They are now at an ability that they can go on quests and complete challenges suggested by an elder. Like most teenagers, they might be a bit rebellious. They are growing more independant and are even starting to take notice of the opposite sex <3 A future Romance? Just make sure as their guardian you can guide them through these teen years.

<center>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</center>

--= [Adult] =--

<<???>>
Before reaching the Adult stage, your knight must complete a final challenge appointed by a guardian. By this time, your knight is completely independant from you, although some may still pay you a visit. As an adult, your knight is now able to join different clans or go before the council and request permission to form his/her own clan.
At this time, your knight will also be able to have children. According to the values of Laconia, knights only marry once --- so don't be rash. When the child is born, the two parents will be responsible for raising their baby until it is old enough to entrusted to a guardian. The parents can then choose to train the child themselves, or choose a guardian for the child.

<center>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</center>

--= [Guardians] =--

You are the guardian. It is the guardian's responsibility to nurture and train the knight that has been entrusted to your care. Adult knights also have the option of becoming a guardian

<center>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</center>

--= [Elder Guardians (Elders)] =--

"Elder" doesn't so much refer to age as it does experiance. Many of the "Elders" are NPCs at the moment. it is unclear whether or not a knight can reach the stage of "elder"

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/KoLaconia/NPCs/KaylaNPC.jpg" align="left" border="2">--= [Quests] =--
This is Kayla, one of the Elders. She is in control of assigning and approving quests. Your knight will have to face many trials/quests before they can reach the next level. After completing certain quests, the knights stats will increase and may be awarded a rare item that can be used or equipped. Available quests and all the details will be listed here when there is one available.

Quests Available

--= [Weapon Shop] =--

[image unknown] Erik is another Elder, with his experiance and knowledge, he is in charge of choosing the weapon(s) that will best suit your knight and delivering them to you via your journal. Weapon upgrades and modifications will be available as your knight earns them.

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/KoLaconia/NPCs/AsherNPC.jpg"" align="left" border="2">
--= [Item Shop] =--
Asher is the youngest of the Elders. As Kayla will tell you, he was never quite successful in his quests, but his extensive knowledge of items and their uses allowed him the title of Elder and his own store. Did you find an item in your knight's home or in the thread? Did you complete an entire quest only to end up with a rock? Don't worry, Asher will stop by your journal to pick up the item for you and have it evaluated. You never know what he'll return with.

There are many different regions within the land of Laconia. Each region has their own unique culture and talents. The Knights of Laconia will come from many different regions and will have different traits according to their region. The description of Each region is somewhat vague at the moment. Guardians are encouraged to expand and be creative with their knight's region. Here are a few regions thus far:

Aexia -

Current Knights: 1

Distinguishing Marks: yellow markings, usually circular shapes on the arms or face

The people of Aexia take pride in their physical prowess. Alexian children grow up with inherited combat skills from their parents. Much honor is bestowed on those with extraordinary strength and cunning abilities with brute force.

-------------------

Kira -

Current Knights: 1

Distinguishing Marks: Weapon of Choice is almost always a type of Bow.

The people of Kira excell in archery. They are also very attuned to nature and their surroundings. Their gentle natures are sometimes mistaken for weakness, but their speed and sharp vision is nothing to take lightly.

-------------------

Nikai -

Current Knights: 1

Distinguishing Marks: Unknown

Not much is known yet about the people of the Nikai region. It is rumored that they wield a strange magic, though not enough evidence has turned this rumor to fact.

-------------------

Tyre -

Current Knights: 2

Distinguishing Marks: None

The land of Tyre is vast and accomadates a large number of people. Although the population is very diverse, the people are very social and share a love for adventure.

-------------------

Xian -

Current Knights: 0

Distinguishing Marks: Distinct Xian style of clothing

The Xian people are known for the versatility. Knights from this area have a wide range of talents. They are brilliant strategists and they are able to weild a variety of weapons.

When the the knights become adults, they are considered to be full-fledged knights. They are then responsible for joining or creating their own clans. Different Clans will be able to compete in certain RP events or be given group RP quests. It is common to have some rivalry between clans, although nothing too drastic.

Current Clans:
Because there are no adult knights, there aren't any clans yet!

I know this stuff has to be confusing! Feel free to ask me any questions!
((And yes, I'll just add some random questions))

Q. Where is this taking place?
A. A mystical Realm called Laconia... ((perhaps east of Aekea? xD))

Q. So if I wanted a knight... how can I get one? How much do they cost?
A. Watch to see if there are any flatsales, Contests, or auctions... Flatsales will always start as a prompt base sale. After it ends, the remaining knights will be sold in a speed FS. Auctions do not require prompts. There are also custom spots available that do not require prompts.

Q. So.. how much would I have to RP?
A. A knight's growth is directly related to their stats. As their stats increase so do their skills and abilities. When meeting a certain level, they'll be given specific items or upgraded weapons. Basically, the more you roleplay the faster your knight can increase their stats and grow. You have to at least post once a week or two and RP once a month or two to let us know you're alive...

Q. Where do I RP?
A. The thread serves as the temple located in the center of Laconia. At this temple reside the Elder Guardians and teachers responsible for training the young children until they are ready for Guardians. Older knights and Guardians still hang around the temple to relax and socialize in the courtyard or surrounding fields. The thread (temple) serves more as casual, social RPs while quests and some single RPs belong in Journals

Q. What do I put in my Journal?
A. Journals serve as the Guardian/Knight's own dwelling. Journal Rps can be either in Journal format ((date//written by you (the Guardian) about what you did that day)) or third person through yourself as the guardian and your knight. Quests are also completed in the journals and you're welcome to have visitors and private RPs in the journals ^^ RPing in the journals directly relates to you stats... If you post an RP about a training session focusing on strength and mastery of a certain weapon/tool/skill... you might find you're knights stats increasing depending on the quality of the entry.

*more to come*
