Farlanders

Lore

Many years ago before any of you were born there existed a large kingdom. This was the kingdom of Burgenvold. Burgenvold was ruled by King Vegsen a vain and cruel tyrant. Vegsan ruled with an iron fist. Opressing the people of Burgenvod, enslaving them for his own riches. But there was a light in all the darkness. Iago, who was a Liutenant was a perfect leader he was fair and generous all the things Vegsen wasn't. Iago was placed in such a high position by Vegsen's late father, Soreyn who had brought much happiness to the land until his death.

The people loved Iago, however Vegsen despised him. After his father's death Vegsen had Iago locked away in the dungeons to rot. However a few of the dungeon guards who were loyal to Iago snuck him food and drink. Iago spent his time planning a way to escape. When the time came Iago and the his few loyal supporters smuggled him out of the dungeon.

Iago was never heard of again until...

5 years later and all is the same in Burgenvold, Vegsen is still ruling and up to his old villainous ways. When suddenly he hears loud footsteps marching to the beat of drums. Thinking that his people are not working he is furious. He takes to his horse with his personal guards to investigate the noises...

They find nothing there is not one soul on the street and all the windows of the derelict buildings have ben boarded up. They ride to the town gate and are meant by the most extraordinary site. There right on the doorstep of his kingdom is a army of 10,000 men. But the most extraordinary thing was that the leader of the army was Iago.

Iago announced that Vegsen should surrender to him. Vegsen being his usual vain self refused and ordered his army to the ready. The trumpets were sounded and what was later to be known as the Battle of Burgenvold began.

It was sheer bloodshed with both sides being evenly matched. However after 8 days of fighting Iago's men who were better fed than Vegsen's men began to gain an advantage. By 13 days the ground was stained red, there were flattened buildings and dropped weapons everywhere. Iago's army had won, he had 2600 men left.

Iago was worried he had not seen Vegsen since the battle had begun. He did not care he had triumphed he pushed Vegsen out of his mind thinking that the tyrant was laying dead on the field somewhere turning into buzzard food.

Iago and his men set about repairing houses, replanting farms trying to reestablish Burgenvold to it's former glory. They failed to notice a man limping away into the distance.

Vegsen had seen his men start dying around him in large numbers. He knew he would be killed if caught. He stole gold from the sleeping men around him and used the cover of night to flee. He was caught by a a soldier from Iago's army who was lost. They got into a scuffle which resulted in the soldier cutting a large laceration into Vegsen's leg. However Vegsen managed to kill him. Now wounded it would take him longer to escape.

Vegsen was tired and thirsty he had been walking for what seemed like days. He was on the brink of death when he saw it. A wide flat plain of grass in the middle of a barren wasteland. He had found an oasis. Vegsen stopped here intending to get a drink and a nights rest. What was meant to be a night turned into a week, than a month, than a year. Four years had passed and he had not seen another person. Vegsen knew he was getting old. He buried his gold in the oasis and wandered off into the desert. No one knows what became of him.

27 years later a lonely wanderer stumbled into the oasis he was drinking from the pond when he noticed something glistening at the bottom of the pool. After a short dig he uncovered a lot of gold. Now the traveller was a good man and used this money to build a small village around the oasis. He called this village Langt í Burtu Landi which means Far Away Land in Icelandic.

This village soon became a town, than a city now it is a thriving kingdom even today long after the death of the Unknown Wanderer it continues its tradition of being a place for fairness and hard work. Where anyone can live happily and harmoniously.

Courses

We want our members to have the best possible Minecraft experience they can possibly have. But how can they join Minecraft if they do not understand it or if they feel useless because they aren't good at anthing. We decided the best way to do this is by teaching them. So our faction will be holding many courses covering lots of different categories and difficulty levels.

Our teachers are hand picked because they are skilled at what they do and they have a god attitude. We currently offer the following courses:

PvP and General Warfare (L0rdV0ld)
Server Operation & Plugins
Design and Minecraftian Architecture (Qu1cks1lva)
Mining and Other SSP Skills
Redstone and Mechanics

• Starter Course (Learn Basics)
• Base Course (In-Depth Look)
• Advanced Course (Advanced Skills)

Alchemists

Alchemists are responsible for making most of the clans potions. Some squads will be responsible for poison and some for health. Must have memorized all of the recipes of brewing. Trained highly in potion throwing.

Management:

Management is vital in running the faction it is the diffrence between a faction and just a group of random players. Without management the faction would not be able to run. Players in management will receive an office and must be able to record information and statistics.

Tribute Collecter:

They have a list of what each player needs to contribute each week and will go around and collect them. These players need to be able to keep track of players, who has reached their tribute and who has not. They must also be honest and not steal items.

Supply Coordinator

They will work in a large warehouse that stores the factions tribute. They are responsible for the storage of faction tribute. They must be able to inform Ashleigh when the faction is running low on a certain item or when we have too many of an item. They also control if players are able to take stuff from the tribute. They must be extremely honest and organised.

Public Relations Officer:

These are friendly players who want to improve the faction. They organise community events and advertise the Faction on a variety of websites to gain more members. They also work in the information centre to help out new members. All suggestions for what the server needs go to PR Officers and they will forward these to Ashleigh.

Guards:

You might not think it an important job but it is. Guards patrol the factions territory looking for the enemy, keeping it monster free, looking for griefers or any other wrong doing.

Tribute

Some of you may be asking what is tribute? Tribute is what each player owes the faction a week. When a player pays tribute it goes into our faction store and other faction members can access it for free.

E.g. Miner 1 goes to the Store and puts in 8 iron ingots, Miner 2 breaks his pick and needs a new one, he goes to the store and asks for an Iron pick and he is given one for free.

However your request must be genuine and with reason. Do not go to the store and request 30 diamonds you won't get it. Your requests also have to make sense if you're a Guard don't ask for a diamond pick you do not need one.

Supply coordinators will keep track of who takes what from the store. If you are caught taking items that you do not need or do not have a good reason for it is considered stealing you will be killed and kicked from the faction.

All items are to come through the store not from player to player.

E.g. This is the wrong way.

Miner has 3 ingots, He gives to Armourer who makes a sword and gives to a Soldier.

This is a bad method because the Armourer might use the armourer for his own personal use and also if you do not give it to the store it will not count as tribute.

E.g. Correct Way

Miner has 3 ingots, he gives it to a Tribute Collector, who marks down what he received. He takes it to the Supply Coordinator who marks down who he got it from and how many of each item. The Supply Coordinator puts it in storage. The Supply Coordinator notices we are low on Iron swords and notifies Ash who tells the Miners to mine more iron and Armourers to produce more Iron Swords. The Armourer will go to the store and request materials such as sticks and iron ingots. He will craft the sword. He brings the sword to the Supply Keeper who will put in storage. The soldier goes to the store and requests an Iron Sword he will be given one. The Supply Coordinator notes down one sword was take by Soldier.

This helps us keep track of what items we have, what we need and who takes what. Without tribute every member would have to go and gather items himself.

Some occupations do not have to donate items for tribute they can do it in other ways.

Infantry/Navy/Rangers/Scout/Medics: Any items they have taken off dead enemy players or have raided.

Architects: None but they will need to help build structures when requested.

Hunters: 20 raw pork or raw beef, 20 raw chicken each week.
