Settlement Charter: Autumn Oak (A CG RP Community)


Pathfinder Online


2 people marked this as a favorite.

The following is more of an interest check and a conceptual outline than a direct idea. Feel free to drop criticism or ideas in as you see fit.

Autumn Oak Village: A settlement proposal.

RP Level: Medium/Heavy.
Alignment: Chaotic Good (Accepting of Neutral Good and Chaotic Neutral)
Patron Deity: Desna (And Milani under the surface)
Other openly embraced deities: Cayden Cailean, Sarenrae, Shelyn, Kurgess
Government: Either a Democracy, or a transparent Oligarchy.
Tax Rate: Negotiable each season based on the needs of the community.
Sponsored Companies: None so far.

Purview:
Autumn Oak Village is a home for the good hearted scoundrel, the aspiring artist, the gnomish illusionist, and the whimsical bard. This eccentric village tucked away in the fringes of the echo woods proudly holds the virtues of the Desnan Faith at its core. Its inhabitants are encouraged to pursue their life dreams and dabble in their passions. Thus aiming to create a vibrant and unique community. The pub will always be open, and wary travelers on the road will be warmly greeted with tolerance toward their personal views and religious practices... Until they bring harm to the community that is. Autumn Oak is a warm commercial community on the surface, but while its laws are simple and few, the village curiously forbids bounty hunting, thus making it an ideal territory for a noble hearted outlaw to escape to when he needs to lay low for a little while. Autumn Oak quietly endorses abolitionists, freedom fighters, revolutionaries, and banditry specifically targeting openly lawful evil nations. The latter helps supplement the village's funds in times of need. But secrets aside, banditry is not openly endorsed and the village traditionally aims to protect nearby travelers rather than ruin their day. Autumn Oak is meant to draw those who want to prosper and do good outside of the traditional laws and regulations other societies.

OOC:
Unlike a lot of RP settlements and Companies out there, Autumn Oak Village does not attempt to set a perpetually serious tone. This is not to say you can't still have those serious, tragic, or dark moments which stem from character development, but I wanted a place where people can inhabit every end of the RP spectrum including the comical and light hearted characters you may not find as often in a grim lawful mercenary company. While its asked that you at least be mature (At least out of character), this village could easily be a home for the more odd RP characters outside of the usual archetypes.

In any case, this is a very simplistic concept that I'm just shoveling out there in order to gauge interest and community opinion.

High five for Desna!

Also, good to see we're getting some more lighthearted and chaotic groups showing up!

Goblin Squad Member

Looks ok for a settlement proposal, but if you take my spot I'll...

I'll camp there and do "sit in" protests.


@Deianira: -High Five- I know what you mean. I keep seeing lawful charters everywhere.

@Bringslite: On no! Anything but THAT! But seriously, I kind of want to be out of everyone's way in the early stages of the settlement, so I'll see what I could do.

I've added your Guild to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list. If you have a brief description you'd like to appear there to let people know about your guild while they're browsing that list, just PM me or post a clear request here.

Also, The Seventh Veil welcomes you to the community, and extends an offer of Diplomatic Outreach. (Note, this is not an offer for Alliance, just a way to open formal channels for private discussions.)

Good luck :)

Goblin Squad Member

Hmm... Open to both Chaotic Neutral and Banditry (if directed at Lawful Evil). I shall certainly pay your settlement a visit.

Goblin Squad Member

Piques my interest and I would most definitely pay a visit if not call Autumn Oak home.

Certainly. How about:

"A village founded upon the principles of the Desnan Faith. A home for the compassionate, the brave, the free, and the inspired."

Thanks for the connections. And worry not! Luck is all part of the Desnan Faith.

I wholeheartedly approve your purpose and wish to sign up for your newsletter. My CN witch/druid/sorceress will be approaching your estate agents for a brochure of 'almost out-of-town' gingerbread cottages immediately.


Welcome to PfO

The nation of Aeturnum would like to cordially extend an invitation for diplomatic links with yourselves. As you have not linked a website, feel free to visit ours at Pax Gaming and register for ambassador ship

Ahoy there! The Golden Flask raises their tankards to you!


Sadurian: Sure. Every town of a certain size needs their very own reclusive witch!

Zen: I'll probably eventually set up a website if I get a strong enough community here.

Virgil: Thank you. If in the Golden Flask needs sponsorship, I'd be happy to erect a tavern in the name of your order.

Well, it looks like I could pull Autumn Oak out of the conceptual stages now.

Goblin Squad Member

Well Met. As a representative of The Green Dragon Legion, I am certainly pleased to see a settlement forming which my organization could base itself from without any undue ideological compromise. Feel free to keep in touch as we approach the new world in River Kingdoms and throw open its bounty to all free peoples.

Thank you sir. Our doors shall remain open to your order.

Goblin Squad Member

This looks like something right up my alley. I shall check you out once I can get into the game or join groups.

I'll probably be playing a Ranger whose late wife followed Desna.

The Empyrean Order always welcomes another settlement of Good people. May your crops ever flourish and your celebrations be merry!

Goblin Squad Member

Surprise necrothread! Or at least, caught Alexander by surprise. ;)

Silver Crusade Goblin Squad Member

We hadn't welcomed them yet. I *totally* noticed the thread date.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
