A lot of the information given in this sub-section of our Encyclopedia is how we, as a site and as a staff team, can support you and our members. But there are also ways in which you can support Aeipathy! As our character base grows so too does the world in which we write have to develop in order to support both our expanding roster and the ideas and creative processes of our members. At Aeipathy, we encourage our members getting involved and creating new and exciting elements of our canon world. Read below to find out more on which facets of the world of Aeipathy are open to member contribution.
Submitting a Contribution
Please note that the below information and the codes that it provides in order to support our members in creating additions to our world is extensive. This is deliberate. Whilst we want to encourage our members in creating new elements and ideas for Aeipathy, it is important to point out that an idea is only as good as the number of members on the site willing to see it through. As such, the information requested below is long and detailed, to ensure that all submittances have been considered long and hard by their creator and that they have a) enough complexity to be considered a realistic and integral part of our in-character world and b) enough breadth and development to ensure that the largest number of members and characters could have a connection to it or use it in game-play. As such, please bear in mind that any contribution made to our world is a large undertaking that will require time, effort and dedication, equal to that of a whole new character. If you wish to create a new addition to the world of Aeipathy, please feel free to take the code away, work on it long-term and submit only when you are a hundred percent confident and ready to take on the challenge.
Please note that, to create an addition to the world of Aeipathy you must have a collective 50 posts across your characters.
Noble Houses
On Aeipathy we have Realms and, within them, Kingdoms. Our Kingdoms are ruled by a handful of royal or ruling Houses which are written up in the Canon information within each Kingdom's encyclopedia page. These canons are not changeable nor able to be added to but they are only the top tier of the social class structure of their kingdoms. As such, there are other branches of the political system that are open to contributions.
Each kingdom within the world of Aeipathy is permitted up to two Houses (Canon or otherwise) that have less than two active characters in play. No more. This ensures that we do not grow our world at a rate faster than we can fill it. This means that, any kingdom with one or less Houses with less than two active characters is open to Noble House submissions.
On the flip side of this, if a kingdom has two or more Houses that have less than two active characters in play, a Noble House may still be created. But only if two members are already willing and ready to create two of the characters within it (ergo, ensuring that the kingdom does not have another House with less than two active players). These members must have already reached the new character creation requirements before the submission of the Noble House code, and their names and intentions to take the characters must be added to the message sent with the submission code, so that our staff can ensure that these members are ready to go. You may be asked to have these applications ready and prepared, before the Noble House information goes live on the site.
If you are interested in creating a Noble House for our forum and believe that the kingdom and/or yourself meet the valid requirements, please read the below information for each kingdom specifically, with includes the appropriate submission forms.
Athenia
Claimed Provinces
6 Claimed of 25 Provinces
Athenia is one of our Grecian kingdoms and occupies a large amount of land on the mainland continent to the west of the Grecian realm. They pride themselves in intellectual pursuit, clever word play and political savvy. They are often thought of as cold or haughty by other kingdoms but see themselves as dignified. Their lands are primarily used for crop growth or for sea trade and they are almost entirely self-sufficient without the connection to Colchis and Taengea. They have the largest population of the three Greek kingdoms.
To create a Noble House within Athenia, please use the code below. The code is filled in with all information and instruction that you may need but if any is confusing or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact a member of the staff team.
[center][b]Noble House Submission - Athenia[/b][/center]
[u]BASIC INFORMATION[/u]
[b]House Name:[/b] Please note that your House will be of Noble rank which means it will be referred to as Varónos -Name-. [b]House Sigil:[/b] What sigil or crest would this House hold upon its shield? (please note that this is subject to availability) [b]House Colours:[/b] What colours would the House shield have? (please note that this is subject to availability) [b]House Motto:[/b] This needs to be a few words that detail the general feeling of a House. For example, the Gesin of Ubuntu prides itself on being a compassionate tribe but also grand hunters of wildlife. Their motto is "Take Heart". Something that can be read in more than one fashion that is distinctive to the group. [b]Province of Rule:[/b] Please select one of the provinces listed on the World Contribution page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/1477/world-contribution) as available or one of the provinces listed in the Athenia page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/400/athenia) that holds a blank shield in its second house appointment. These lists should both be exactly the same and consist of all provinces that do not currently specific a baron or House of rule. [b]Vassal to:[/b] Please list the Dynasteía that currently rules over this province and which your Varónos will be the vassal of. [b]Reason for Choice:[/b] Please state your reasons for choosing this particular province and vassal House and the plotting opportunities you see or have considered in choosing this land. We wish for all of our baron houses to have been allocated to the appropriate lands for appropriate reasons and that the background of the province has been taken into consideration in terms of creating the characters within the baron family. E.g. if you have chosen a land-locked province, it is unlikely that the eldest son of the baron is a sailor (for example).
[u]THE HOUSE[/u]
[b]House Blurb:[/b] This needs to be roughly 250+ words regarding the House, its recent history or origin (if either are particularly note worthy) and its general feel, ethos, trade, purpose and intent. If you are uncertain what to write in this, please check our Houses Registry (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/408/houses-registry) to see other examples. [b]Reason for Becoming Noble:[/b] Why was this family granted nobility and when did it happen? Are they a long standing noble house, or recently created? Please include a date (in BC) when this House was first established as Noble and who gave them that Nobility. [b]Origin / Appearance:[/b] Where were your House's founders originally from and what is the general appearance of your family's aesthetics (for most submissions this will simply be "Greek/Caucasian"). [b]Dominant Features:[/b] Consider the Face Claims you have chosen for your family's character. What are the dominant traits? This can be in terms of facial features, height or build, or even personality traits if they are particularly strong. [b]House Ethos:[/b] Please give a few morals or values that the House believe in - e.g. "Vows are unbreakable." "Money is the greatest power." - phrases that encompass the House's beliefs. [b]Reputation:[/b] Please choose four singular words that others might use to describe the members of this House. [b]Military Unit:[/b] Please write the name of the military unit of this House's province.
[u]PLOTTING[/u]
[b]Politics:[/b] Please write a small paragraph about how this House is politically involved in the world. Are they particularly loyal/lapdogs to their vassal? Do they walk the line of being rebellious? Do they refuse to partake in wider political games and keep to their own barony of power? [b]Military:[/b] To what extent does this House utilise or encourage the utilisation of the military unit in its province? Do they have a specialty in their weaponry or fighting style? (use the description of the province in the Athenia page of the encyclopedia (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/400/athenia) to help you with this. An area that specialises in forestry and timber are not going to be chariot fighters - no open land on which to practice!). [b]Economics:[/b] What are the primary trades of your province? Why those? Is it to do with the land, the climate, the men? What does the House think of these trades? Are they looking to expand, happy with their lot, wanting more money or happy to be specialists?
[b]Preferred Plots:[/b] Please write a little in here about what kind of global plots you would like this House to be a part of. What prompted the creation of this House? How can they fit into the global plot we currently have on-going. This information will help the staff team to create Events and threads in which the members of this House can participate, in the hopes of those plots coming to fruition.
[u]THE FAMILY[/u]
[b]Character List:[/b] Please list all of the characters within this House, played or not. All Noble House submittances must have at least four or more characters within their tree. The tree can consist of the immediate family (those who hold the name of the House) but also the cousins and additional branches that would hold only the name of the Province in which they were born. So long as there are four (or more), living and playable characters, tied to this family by blood. Please list them in a way that makes sense to their order of birth etc.
Once these characters are listed, please copy, paste and fill in the following code for each and every family member listed, beginning with the current Baron (Varónos) of the family. If the house is accepted, these characters will be immediately turned into Wanted ads for the House.
[b]Full Name:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Age:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Connection to the Varónos:[/b] This is the connection to the baron himself, rather than the house - son, daughter, nephew etc. If this character *is* the baron, please delete this line. [b]Province of Birth:[/b] Self-explanatory. Does not have to be the province ruled by the House, if they were born elsewhere. [b]Face Claim:[/b] Please check our Face Claim list in our Character Compendium to ensure that this face is not already chosen for another played, canon or wanted character. If you have any confusion over this, please message a staff member regarding your choice. [b]Character Blurb:[/b] This blurb must read as a wanted ad, for that is what it will become upon the acceptance of the House. It must be over 300 words in length and cover the character's basic history, familial connections, personality, hobbies etc and any plot potential they hold. Remember! Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character. Who are the people who have the economic ambitions you might have written of? Does the son of the baron wish to join the military because the military in this province is known to be particular poor and he wants to turn it around? Remember to ensure that these characters are written in a manner that befits the environment that they grew up in. The characters should feel as synonymous with the House as the House does with the land.
A Note Regarding Face Claims: Please be aware that Aeipathy take great pride in choosing face claims within family groups that bear a strong resemblance to one another. If your face claims do not, in the eyes of the staff team, appear believable in terms of their relationships, age or fictional genetics, please be aware that you may be asked to change them.
[u]ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[/u]
[b]Wanted Character[/b] In order to ensure that our world doesn't become solely full of nobles who have no connection to the common people, we require all of our Noble Houses to have a connection to a commoner in some way, shape or form. Perhaps it is a romance built into one of the family members' backstory, perhaps it is a servant who knows too much. The choice is up to you, but each Noble House submittance must come with one Wanted ad for a common born character connected to that House.
[b]Full Name:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Age:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Connection to the House:[/b] Servant, Lover etc? [b]Province of Birth:[/b] Self-explanatory. Does not have to be the province ruled by the House, if they were born elsewhere. [b]Face Claim:[/b] Please check our Face Claim list in our Character Compendium to ensure that this face is not already chosen for another played, canon or wanted character. If you have any confusion over this, please message a staff member regarding your choice. [b]Character Blurb:[/b] This blurb must read as a wanted ad, for that is what it will become upon the acceptance of the House. It must be over 300 words in length and cover the character's basic history, familial connections, personality, hobbies etc and any plot potential they hold. Remember! Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character!

As such, Noble Houses are not permitted within Bedoa.
Colchis
Claimed Provinces
6 of 15 Provinces Claimed
Colchis lies to the north of the Grecian realm. A kingdom that lies across a collection of isles just a short voyage from the continental lands of the barbarians to the north it is a kingdom that runs on military might and the gold and precious ores that are found in the mountains of its islands. A kingdom of stoics that believe a life lived hard is one lived well, Colchis is generally thought of as a kingdom of the rough-sort who lack refinement but they see themselves as determined and courageous.
To create a Noble House within Colchis, please use the code below. The code is filled in with all information and instruction that you may need but if any is confusing or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact a member of the staff team.

Egypt's lands are managed in a very different way to the world of the Greeks. The Pharaoh owns all of the lands and stewards and representatives of the Council are tasked with the managing of those lands. Only, some who have shown themselves to be worthy within the field of the military can hold certain claims and benefits over particular provinces. They might take a tax cut upon trade done in that province or hold themselves above to the law to it. Whilst the land itself is still the Pharaoh's to command, those who have been dubbed worthy by the King of Kings can be given these special considerations. They can only be bestowed upon Generals and their families and yet not all Generals are given such blessings. The families that are blessed are the ones that are made Noble and form our canon list. As such, new noble houses can not be made restrospectively. But they can be made in-game. If your character has succeeded in impressing the Pharaoh of the lands with their military might, please contact a member of staff to see whether it would be considered appropriate for the ruler of Egypt to bestow noble status upon that character. At which point, the submission code for a noble house creation will be sent to you.

In Judea, there are no Royal Houses. A collaboration of Six Cities ruled by independent families at Noble level (but without the Royal rank above them), the Noble House rank is already the rank of our canons. As such, there are no Royal or Noble House creation opportunities in Judea.
Taengea
Claimed Provinces
6 of 25 Provinces Claimed
Found in the southern-most area of Greece, Taengea lies upon three distinct islands of open plains and meadows. Forestry and lush vegetation are rife over the countryside and the lands are incredibly fertile with good climate. The Taengean people are known to be hospitable, money-driven and in love with a good gossip. The other kingdoms of Greece often think that Taengeans are laissez-faire and intrude too much on your personal space but really they are just as hard workers as they are partiers and they simply believe that life she be a thing to celebrate.

[b]Face Claim:[/b] Please check our Face Claim list in our Character Compendium to ensure that this face is not already chosen for another played, canon or wanted character. If you have any confusion over this, please message a staff member regarding your choice. [b]Character Blurb:[/b] This blurb must read as a wanted ad, for that is what it will become upon the acceptance of the House. It must be over 300 words in length and cover the character's basic history, familial connections, personality, hobbies etc and any plot potential they hold. Remember! Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character. Who are the people who have the economic ambitions you might have written of? Does the son of the baron wish to join the military because the military in this province is known to be particular poor and he wants to turn it around? Remember to ensure that these characters are written in a manner that befits the environment that they grew up in. The characters should feel as synonymous with the House as the House does with the land.
A Note Regarding Face Claims: Please be aware that Aeipathy take great pride in choosing face claims within family groups that bear a strong resemblance to one another. If your face claims do not, in the eyes of the staff team, appear believable in terms of their relationships, age or fictional genetics, please be aware that you may be asked to change them.
[u]ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[/u]
[b]Wanted Character[/b] In order to ensure that our world doesn't become solely full of nobles who have no connection to the common people, we require all of our Noble Houses to have a connection to a commoner in some way, shape or form. Perhaps it is a romance built into one of the family members' backstory, perhaps it is a servant who knows too much. The choice is up to you, but each Noble House submittance must come with one Wanted ad for a common born character connected to that House.

Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character!
[u]TERMS AND CONDITIONS[/u]
[b]Province Information Checked:[/b] Please confirm with a simple "Yes" that you have read the information regarding this province stated in the Taengea page of the Encyclopedia (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/402/taengea). [b]Vassal House Information Checked:[/b] Please confirm with a simple "Yes" that you have read the information regarding this noble house's Vassal House (the Dynasteía they are ruled by) in the Houses Registry page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/408/houses-registry). [b]Contribution Disclaimer:[/b] Please confirm with a simple "Yes" that you understand our rules for Aeipathy World Additions and that this House, its information and its characters may or may not be kept in place as a part of our canon world with our without your participation in it or in the site in the future.
A lot of the information given in this sub-section of our Encyclopedia is how we, as a site and as a staff team, can support you and our members. But there are also ways in which you can support Aeipathy! As our character base grows so too does the world in which we write have to develop in order to support both our expanding roster and the ideas and creative processes of our members. At Aeipathy, we encourage our members getting involved and creating new and exciting elements of our canon world. Read below to find out more on which facets of the world of Aeipathy are open to member contribution.
Submitting a Contribution
Please note that the below information and the codes that it provides in order to support our members in creating additions to our world is extensive. This is deliberate. Whilst we want to encourage our members in creating new elements and ideas for Aeipathy, it is important to point out that an idea is only as good as the number of members on the site willing to see it through. As such, the information requested below is long and detailed, to ensure that all submittances have been considered long and hard by their creator and that they have a) enough complexity to be considered a realistic and integral part of our in-character world and b) enough breadth and development to ensure that the largest number of members and characters could have a connection to it or use it in game-play. As such, please bear in mind that any contribution made to our world is a large undertaking that will require time, effort and dedication, equal to that of a whole new character. If you wish to create a new addition to the world of Aeipathy, please feel free to take the code away, work on it long-term and submit only when you are a hundred percent confident and ready to take on the challenge.
Please note that, to create an addition to the world of Aeipathy you must have a collective 50 posts across your characters.
Noble Houses
On Aeipathy we have Realms and, within them, Kingdoms. Our Kingdoms are ruled by a handful of royal or ruling Houses which are written up in the Canon information within each Kingdom's encyclopedia page. These canons are not changeable nor able to be added to but they are only the top tier of the social class structure of their kingdoms. As such, there are other branches of the political system that are open to contributions.
Each kingdom within the world of Aeipathy is permitted up to two Houses (Canon or otherwise) that have less than two active characters in play. No more. This ensures that we do not grow our world at a rate faster than we can fill it. This means that, any kingdom with one or less Houses with less than two active characters is open to Noble House submissions.
On the flip side of this, if a kingdom has two or more Houses that have less than two active characters in play, a Noble House may still be created. But only if two members are already willing and ready to create two of the characters within it (ergo, ensuring that the kingdom does not have another House with less than two active players). These members must have already reached the new character creation requirements before the submission of the Noble House code, and their names and intentions to take the characters must be added to the message sent with the submission code, so that our staff can ensure that these members are ready to go. You may be asked to have these applications ready and prepared, before the Noble House information goes live on the site.
If you are interested in creating a Noble House for our forum and believe that the kingdom and/or yourself meet the valid requirements, please read the below information for each kingdom specifically, with includes the appropriate submission forms.
Athenia
Claimed Provinces
6 Claimed of 25 Provinces
Athenia is one of our Grecian kingdoms and occupies a large amount of land on the mainland continent to the west of the Grecian realm. They pride themselves in intellectual pursuit, clever word play and political savvy. They are often thought of as cold or haughty by other kingdoms but see themselves as dignified. Their lands are primarily used for crop growth or for sea trade and they are almost entirely self-sufficient without the connection to Colchis and Taengea. They have the largest population of the three Greek kingdoms.
To create a Noble House within Athenia, please use the code below. The code is filled in with all information and instruction that you may need but if any is confusing or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact a member of the staff team.
[center][b]Noble House Submission - Athenia[/b][/center]
[u]BASIC INFORMATION[/u]
[b]House Name:[/b] Please note that your House will be of Noble rank which means it will be referred to as Varónos -Name-. [b]House Sigil:[/b] What sigil or crest would this House hold upon its shield? (please note that this is subject to availability) [b]House Colours:[/b] What colours would the House shield have? (please note that this is subject to availability) [b]House Motto:[/b] This needs to be a few words that detail the general feeling of a House. For example, the Gesin of Ubuntu prides itself on being a compassionate tribe but also grand hunters of wildlife. Their motto is "Take Heart". Something that can be read in more than one fashion that is distinctive to the group. [b]Province of Rule:[/b] Please select one of the provinces listed on the World Contribution page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/1477/world-contribution) as available or one of the provinces listed in the Athenia page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/400/athenia) that holds a blank shield in its second house appointment. These lists should both be exactly the same and consist of all provinces that do not currently specific a baron or House of rule. [b]Vassal to:[/b] Please list the Dynasteía that currently rules over this province and which your Varónos will be the vassal of. [b]Reason for Choice:[/b] Please state your reasons for choosing this particular province and vassal House and the plotting opportunities you see or have considered in choosing this land. We wish for all of our baron houses to have been allocated to the appropriate lands for appropriate reasons and that the background of the province has been taken into consideration in terms of creating the characters within the baron family. E.g. if you have chosen a land-locked province, it is unlikely that the eldest son of the baron is a sailor (for example).
[u]THE HOUSE[/u]
[b]House Blurb:[/b] This needs to be roughly 250+ words regarding the House, its recent history or origin (if either are particularly note worthy) and its general feel, ethos, trade, purpose and intent. If you are uncertain what to write in this, please check our Houses Registry (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/408/houses-registry) to see other examples. [b]Reason for Becoming Noble:[/b] Why was this family granted nobility and when did it happen? Are they a long standing noble house, or recently created? Please include a date (in BC) when this House was first established as Noble and who gave them that Nobility. [b]Origin / Appearance:[/b] Where were your House's founders originally from and what is the general appearance of your family's aesthetics (for most submissions this will simply be "Greek/Caucasian"). [b]Dominant Features:[/b] Consider the Face Claims you have chosen for your family's character. What are the dominant traits? This can be in terms of facial features, height or build, or even personality traits if they are particularly strong. [b]House Ethos:[/b] Please give a few morals or values that the House believe in - e.g. "Vows are unbreakable." "Money is the greatest power." - phrases that encompass the House's beliefs. [b]Reputation:[/b] Please choose four singular words that others might use to describe the members of this House. [b]Military Unit:[/b] Please write the name of the military unit of this House's province.
[u]PLOTTING[/u]
[b]Politics:[/b] Please write a small paragraph about how this House is politically involved in the world. Are they particularly loyal/lapdogs to their vassal? Do they walk the line of being rebellious? Do they refuse to partake in wider political games and keep to their own barony of power? [b]Military:[/b] To what extent does this House utilise or encourage the utilisation of the military unit in its province? Do they have a specialty in their weaponry or fighting style? (use the description of the province in the Athenia page of the encyclopedia (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/400/athenia) to help you with this. An area that specialises in forestry and timber are not going to be chariot fighters - no open land on which to practice!). [b]Economics:[/b] What are the primary trades of your province? Why those? Is it to do with the land, the climate, the men? What does the House think of these trades? Are they looking to expand, happy with their lot, wanting more money or happy to be specialists?
[b]Preferred Plots:[/b] Please write a little in here about what kind of global plots you would like this House to be a part of. What prompted the creation of this House? How can they fit into the global plot we currently have on-going. This information will help the staff team to create Events and threads in which the members of this House can participate, in the hopes of those plots coming to fruition.
[u]THE FAMILY[/u]
[b]Character List:[/b] Please list all of the characters within this House, played or not. All Noble House submittances must have at least four or more characters within their tree. The tree can consist of the immediate family (those who hold the name of the House) but also the cousins and additional branches that would hold only the name of the Province in which they were born. So long as there are four (or more), living and playable characters, tied to this family by blood. Please list them in a way that makes sense to their order of birth etc.
Once these characters are listed, please copy, paste and fill in the following code for each and every family member listed, beginning with the current Baron (Varónos) of the family. If the house is accepted, these characters will be immediately turned into Wanted ads for the House.
[b]Full Name:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Age:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Connection to the Varónos:[/b] This is the connection to the baron himself, rather than the house - son, daughter, nephew etc. If this character *is* the baron, please delete this line. [b]Province of Birth:[/b] Self-explanatory. Does not have to be the province ruled by the House, if they were born elsewhere. [b]Face Claim:[/b] Please check our Face Claim list in our Character Compendium to ensure that this face is not already chosen for another played, canon or wanted character. If you have any confusion over this, please message a staff member regarding your choice. [b]Character Blurb:[/b] This blurb must read as a wanted ad, for that is what it will become upon the acceptance of the House. It must be over 300 words in length and cover the character's basic history, familial connections, personality, hobbies etc and any plot potential they hold. Remember! Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character. Who are the people who have the economic ambitions you might have written of? Does the son of the baron wish to join the military because the military in this province is known to be particular poor and he wants to turn it around? Remember to ensure that these characters are written in a manner that befits the environment that they grew up in. The characters should feel as synonymous with the House as the House does with the land.
A Note Regarding Face Claims: Please be aware that Aeipathy take great pride in choosing face claims within family groups that bear a strong resemblance to one another. If your face claims do not, in the eyes of the staff team, appear believable in terms of their relationships, age or fictional genetics, please be aware that you may be asked to change them.

As such, Noble Houses are not permitted within Bedoa.
Colchis
Claimed Provinces
6 of 15 Provinces Claimed
Colchis lies to the north of the Grecian realm. A kingdom that lies across a collection of isles just a short voyage from the continental lands of the barbarians to the north it is a kingdom that runs on military might and the gold and precious ores that are found in the mountains of its islands. A kingdom of stoics that believe a life lived hard is one lived well, Colchis is generally thought of as a kingdom of the rough-sort who lack refinement but they see themselves as determined and courageous.

Egypt's lands are managed in a very different way to the world of the Greeks. The Pharaoh owns all of the lands and stewards and representatives of the Council are tasked with the managing of those lands. Only, some who have shown themselves to be worthy within the field of the military can hold certain claims and benefits over particular provinces. They might take a tax cut upon trade done in that province or hold themselves above to the law to it. Whilst the land itself is still the Pharaoh's to command, those who have been dubbed worthy by the King of Kings can be given these special considerations. They can only be bestowed upon Generals and their families and yet not all Generals are given such blessings. The families that are blessed are the ones that are made Noble and form our canon list. As such, new noble houses can not be made restrospectively. But they can be made in-game. If your character has succeeded in impressing the Pharaoh of the lands with their military might, please contact a member of staff to see whether it would be considered appropriate for the ruler of Egypt to bestow noble status upon that character. At which point, the submission code for a noble house creation will be sent to you.
Current Rulers
Hei Naddar

Hei Abaddi Hei Fakhouri Hei Haikaddad Hei Isazari Hei Moghadam Hei Sheifa
In Judea, there are no Royal Houses. A collaboration of Six Cities ruled by independent families at Noble level (but without the Royal rank above them), the Noble House rank is already the rank of our canons. As such, there are no Royal or Noble House creation opportunities in Judea.
Taengea
Claimed Provinces
6 of 25 Provinces Claimed
Found in the southern-most area of Greece, Taengea lies upon three distinct islands of open plains and meadows. Forestry and lush vegetation are rife over the countryside and the lands are incredibly fertile with good climate. The Taengean people are known to be hospitable, money-driven and in love with a good gossip. The other kingdoms of Greece often think that Taengeans are laissez-faire and intrude too much on your personal space but really they are just as hard workers as they are partiers and they simply believe that life she be a thing to celebrate.

This can be in terms of facial features, height or build, or even personality traits if they are particularly strong.

[b]Military:[/b] To what extent does this House utilise or encourage the utilisation of the military unit in its province? Do they have a specialty in their weaponry or fighting style? (use the description of the province in the Taengea page of the encyclopedia (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/402/taengea) to help you with this.

[u]THE FAMILY[/u]
[b]Character List:[/b] Please list all of the characters within this House, played or not. All Noble House submittances must have at least four or more characters within their tree. The tree can consist of the immediate family (those who hold the name of the House) but also the cousins and additional branches that would hold only the name of the Province in which they were born. So long as there are four (or more), living and playable characters, tied to this family by blood. Please list them in a way that makes sense to their order of birth etc.
Once these characters are listed, please copy, paste and fill in the following code for each and every family member listed, beginning with the current Baron (Varónos) of the family. If the house is accepted, these characters will be immediately turned into Wanted ads for the House.
[b]Full Name:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Age:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Connection to the Varónos:[/b] This is the connection to the baron himself, rather than the house - son, daughter, nephew etc. If this character *is* the baron, please delete this line. [b]Province of Birth:[/b] Self-explanatory. Does not have to be the province ruled by the House, if they were born elsewhere. [b]Face Claim:[/b] Please check our Face Claim list in our Character Compendium to ensure that this face is not already chosen for another played, canon or wanted character. If you have any confusion over this, please message a staff member regarding your choice. [b]Character Blurb:[/b] This blurb must read as a wanted ad, for that is what it will become upon the acceptance of the House. It must be over 300 words in length and cover the character's basic history, familial connections, personality, hobbies etc and any plot potential they hold. Remember! Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character. Who are the people who have the economic ambitions you might have written of? Does the son of the baron wish to join the military because the military in this province is known to be particular poor and he wants to turn it around? Remember to ensure that these characters are written in a manner that befits the environment that they grew up in. The characters should feel as synonymous with the House as the House does with the land.
A Note Regarding Face Claims: Please be aware that Aeipathy take great pride in choosing face claims within family groups that bear a strong resemblance to one another. If your face claims do not, in the eyes of the staff team, appear believable in terms of their relationships, age or fictional genetics, please be aware that you may be asked to change them.
[u]ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[/u]
[b]Wanted Character[/b] In order to ensure that our world doesn't become solely full of nobles who have no connection to the common people, we require all of our Noble Houses to have a connection to a commoner in some way, shape or form. Perhaps it is a romance built into one of the family members' backstory, perhaps it is a servant who knows too much. The choice is up to you, but each Noble House submittance must come with one Wanted ad for a common born character connected to that House.
[b]Full Name:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Age:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Connection to the House:[/b] Servant, Lover etc? [b]Province of Birth:[/b] Self-explanatory. Does not have to be the province ruled by the House, if they were born elsewhere. [b]Face Claim:[/b] Please check our Face Claim list in our Character Compendium to ensure that this face is not already chosen for another played, canon or wanted character. If you have any confusion over this, please message a staff member regarding your choice.

It must be over 300 words in length and cover the character's basic history, familial connections, personality, hobbies etc and any plot potential they hold. Remember! Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character!
[u]TERMS AND CONDITIONS[/u]
[b]Province Information Checked:[/b] Please confirm with a simple "Yes" that you have read the information regarding this province stated in the Taengea page of the Encyclopedia (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/402/taengea). [b]Vassal House Information Checked:[/b] Please confirm with a simple "Yes" that you have read the information regarding this noble house's Vassal House (the Dynasteía they are ruled by) in the Houses Registry page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/408/houses-registry). [b]Contribution Disclaimer:[/b] Please confirm with a simple "Yes" that you understand our rules for Aeipathy World Additions and that this House, its information and its characters may or may not be kept in place as a part of our canon world with our without your participation in it or in the site in the future.
A lot of the information given in this sub-section of our Encyclopedia is how we, as a site and as a staff team, can support you and our members. But there are also ways in which you can support Aeipathy! As our character base grows so too does the world in which we write have to develop in order to support both our expanding roster and the ideas and creative processes of our members. At Aeipathy, we encourage our members getting involved and creating new and exciting elements of our canon world. Read below to find out more on which facets of the world of Aeipathy are open to member contribution.
Submitting a Contribution
Please note that the below information and the codes that it provides in order to support our members in creating additions to our world is extensive. This is deliberate. Whilst we want to encourage our members in creating new elements and ideas for Aeipathy, it is important to point out that an idea is only as good as the number of members on the site willing to see it through. As such, the information requested below is long and detailed, to ensure that all submittances have been considered long and hard by their creator and that they have a) enough complexity to be considered a realistic and integral part of our in-character world and b) enough breadth and development to ensure that the largest number of members and characters could have a connection to it or use it in game-play. As such, please bear in mind that any contribution made to our world is a large undertaking that will require time, effort and dedication, equal to that of a whole new character. If you wish to create a new addition to the world of Aeipathy, please feel free to take the code away, work on it long-term and submit only when you are a hundred percent confident and ready to take on the challenge.
Please note that, to create an addition to the world of Aeipathy you must have a collective 50 posts across your characters.
Noble Houses
On Aeipathy we have Realms and, within them, Kingdoms. Our Kingdoms are ruled by a handful of royal or ruling Houses which are written up in the Canon information within each Kingdom's encyclopedia page. These canons are not changeable nor able to be added to but they are only the top tier of the social class structure of their kingdoms. As such, there are other branches of the political system that are open to contributions.
Each kingdom within the world of Aeipathy is permitted up to two Houses (Canon or otherwise) that have less than two active characters in play. No more. This ensures that we do not grow our world at a rate faster than we can fill it. This means that, any kingdom with one or less Houses with less than two active characters is open to Noble House submissions.
On the flip side of this, if a kingdom has two or more Houses that have less than two active characters in play, a Noble House may still be created. But only if two members are already willing and ready to create two of the characters within it (ergo, ensuring that the kingdom does not have another House with less than two active players). These members must have already reached the new character creation requirements before the submission of the Noble House code, and their names and intentions to take the characters must be added to the message sent with the submission code, so that our staff can ensure that these members are ready to go. You may be asked to have these applications ready and prepared, before the Noble House information goes live on the site.
If you are interested in creating a Noble House for our forum and believe that the kingdom and/or yourself meet the valid requirements, please read the below information for each kingdom specifically, with includes the appropriate submission forms.
Athenia
Claimed Provinces
6 Claimed of 25 Provinces
Athenia is one of our Grecian kingdoms and occupies a large amount of land on the mainland continent to the west of the Grecian realm. They pride themselves in intellectual pursuit, clever word play and political savvy. They are often thought of as cold or haughty by other kingdoms but see themselves as dignified. Their lands are primarily used for crop growth or for sea trade and they are almost entirely self-sufficient without the connection to Colchis and Taengea. They have the largest population of the three Greek kingdoms.
To create a Noble House within Athenia, please use the code below. The code is filled in with all information and instruction that you may need but if any is confusing or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact a member of the staff team.
[center][b]Noble House Submission - Athenia[/b][/center]

(please note that this is subject to availability) [b]House Motto:[/b] This needs to be a few words that detail the general feeling of a House.

Something that can be read in more than one fashion that is distinctive to the group. [b]Province of Rule:[/b] Please select one of the provinces listed on the World Contribution page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/1477/world-contribution) as available or one of the provinces listed in the Athenia page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/400/athenia) that holds a blank shield in its second house appointment. These lists should both be exactly the same and consist of all provinces that do not currently specific a baron or House of rule. [b]Vassal to:[/b] Please list the Dynasteía that currently rules over this province and which your Varónos will be the vassal of. [b]Reason for Choice:[/b] Please state your reasons for choosing this particular province and vassal House and the plotting opportunities you see or have considered in choosing this land. We wish for all of our baron houses to have been allocated to the appropriate lands for appropriate reasons and that the background of the province has been taken into consideration in terms of creating the characters within the baron family. E.g. if you have chosen a land-locked province, it is unlikely that the eldest son of the baron is a sailor (for example).

Colchis
Claimed Provinces
6 of 15 Provinces Claimed
Colchis lies to the north of the Grecian realm. A kingdom that lies across a collection of isles just a short voyage from the continental lands of the barbarians to the north it is a kingdom that runs on military might and the gold and precious ores that are found in the mountains of its islands. A kingdom of stoics that believe a life lived hard is one lived well, Colchis is generally thought of as a kingdom of the rough-sort who lack refinement but they see themselves as determined and courageous.

Egypt's lands are managed in a very different way to the world of the Greeks. The Pharaoh owns all of the lands and stewards and representatives of the Council are tasked with the managing of those lands. Only, some who have shown themselves to be worthy within the field of the military can hold certain claims and benefits over particular provinces. They might take a tax cut upon trade done in that province or hold themselves above to the law to it. Whilst the land itself is still the Pharaoh's to command, those who have been dubbed worthy by the King of Kings can be given these special considerations. They can only be bestowed upon Generals and their families and yet not all Generals are given such blessings. The families that are blessed are the ones that are made Noble and form our canon list. As such, new noble houses can not be made restrospectively. But they can be made in-game. If your character has succeeded in impressing the Pharaoh of the lands with their military might, please contact a member of staff to see whether it would be considered appropriate for the ruler of Egypt to bestow noble status upon that character. At which point, the submission code for a noble house creation will be sent to you.

In Judea, there are no Royal Houses. A collaboration of Six Cities ruled by independent families at Noble level (but without the Royal rank above them), the Noble House rank is already the rank of our canons. As such, there are no Royal or Noble House creation opportunities in Judea.
Taengea
Claimed Provinces
6 of 25 Provinces Claimed
Found in the southern-most area of Greece, Taengea lies upon three distinct islands of open plains and meadows. Forestry and lush vegetation are rife over the countryside and the lands are incredibly fertile with good climate. The Taengean people are known to be hospitable, money-driven and in love with a good gossip. The other kingdoms of Greece often think that Taengeans are laissez-faire and intrude too much on your personal space but really they are just as hard workers as they are partiers and they simply believe that life she be a thing to celebrate.
To create a Noble House within Taengea, please use the code below. The code is filled in with all information and instruction that you may need but if any is confusing or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact a member of the staff team.
[center][b]Noble House Submission - Taengea[/b][/center]
[u]BASIC INFORMATION[/u]
[b]House Name:[/b] Please note that your House will be of Noble rank which means it will be referred to as Varónos -Name-. [b]House Sigil:[/b] What sigil or crest would this House hold upon its shield? (please note that this is subject to availability) [b]House Colours:[/b] What colours would the House shield have? (please note that this is subject to availability) [b]House Motto:[/b] This needs to be a few words that detail the general feeling of a House. For example, the Gesin of Ubuntu prides itself on being a compassionate tribe but also grand hunters of wildlife. Their motto is "Take Heart". Something that can be read in more than one fashion that is distinctive to the group. [b]Province of Rule:[/b] Please select one of the provinces listed on the World Contribution page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/1477/world-contribution) as available or one of the provinces listed in the Taengea page (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/402/taengea) that holds a blank shield in its second house appointment. These lists should both be exactly the same and consist of all provinces that do not currently specific a baron or House of rule. [b]Vassal to:[/b] Please list the Dynasteía that currently rules over this province and which your Varónos will be the vassal of. [b]Reason for Choice:[/b] Please state your reasons for choosing this particular province and vassal House and the plotting opportunities you see or have considered in choosing this land. We wish for all of our baron houses to have been allocated to the appropriate lands for appropriate reasons and that the background of the province has been taken into consideration in terms of creating the characters within the baron family. E.g. if you have chosen a land-locked province, it is unlikely that the eldest son of the baron is a sailor (for example).
[u]THE HOUSE[/u]
[b]House Blurb:[/b] This needs to be roughly 250+ words regarding the House, its recent history or origin (if either are particularly note worthy) and its general feel, ethos, trade, purpose and intent. If you are uncertain what to write in this, please check our Houses Registry (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/408/houses-registry) to see other examples. [b]Reason for Becoming Noble:[/b] Why was this family granted nobility and when did it happen? Are they a long standing noble house, or recently created? Please include a date (in BC) when this House was first established as Noble and who gave them that Nobility. [b]Origin / Appearance:[/b] Where were your House's founders originally from and what is the general appearance of your family's aesthetics (for most submissions this will simply be "Greek/Caucasian"). [b]Dominant Features:[/b] Consider the Face Claims you have chosen for your family's character. What are the dominant traits? This can be in terms of facial features, height or build, or even personality traits if they are particularly strong. [b]House Ethos:[/b] Please give a few morals or values that the House believe in - e.g. "Vows are unbreakable." "Money is the greatest power." - phrases that encompass the House's beliefs. [b]Reputation:[/b] Please choose four singular words that others might use to describe the members of this House. [b]Military Unit:[/b] Please write the name of the military unit of this House's province.
[u]PLOTTING[/u]
[b]Politics:[/b] Please write a small paragraph about how this House is politically involved in the world. Are they particularly loyal/lapdogs to their vassal? Do they walk the line of being rebellious? Do they refuse to partake in wider political games and keep to their own barony of power? [b]Military:[/b] To what extent does this House utilise or encourage the utilisation of the military unit in its province? Do they have a specialty in their weaponry or fighting style? (use the description of the province in the Taengea page of the encyclopedia (https://aeipathy.forums.net/thread/402/taengea) to help you with this. An area that specialises in forestry and timber are not going to be chariot fighters - no open land on which to practice!). [b]Economics:[/b] What are the primary trades of your province? Why those? Is it to do with the land, the climate, the men? What does the House think of these trades? Are they looking to expand, happy with their lot, wanting more money or happy to be specialists?
[b]Preferred Plots:[/b] Please write a little in here about what kind of global plots you would like this House to be a part of. What prompted the creation of this House? How can they fit into the global plot we currently have on-going. This information will help the staff team to create Events and threads in which the members of this House can participate, in the hopes of those plots coming to fruition.
[u]THE FAMILY[/u]
[b]Character List:[/b] Please list all of the characters within this House, played or not. All Noble House submittances must have at least four or more characters within their tree. The tree can consist of the immediate family (those who hold the name of the House) but also the cousins and additional branches that would hold only the name of the Province in which they were born. So long as there are four (or more), living and playable characters, tied to this family by blood. Please list them in a way that makes sense to their order of birth etc.
Once these characters are listed, please copy, paste and fill in the following code for each and every family member listed, beginning with the current Baron (Varónos) of the family. If the house is accepted, these characters will be immediately turned into Wanted ads for the House.
[b]Full Name:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Age:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Connection to the Varónos:[/b] This is the connection to the baron himself, rather than the house - son, daughter, nephew etc. If this character *is* the baron, please delete this line. [b]Province of Birth:[/b] Self-explanatory. Does not have to be the province ruled by the House, if they were born elsewhere. [b]Face Claim:[/b] Please check our Face Claim list in our Character Compendium to ensure that this face is not already chosen for another played, canon or wanted character. If you have any confusion over this, please message a staff member regarding your choice. [b]Character Blurb:[/b] This blurb must read as a wanted ad, for that is what it will become upon the acceptance of the House. It must be over 300 words in length and cover the character's basic history, familial connections, personality, hobbies etc and any plot potential they hold. Remember! Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character. Who are the people who have the economic ambitions you might have written of? Does the son of the baron wish to join the military because the military in this province is known to be particular poor and he wants to turn it around? Remember to ensure that these characters are written in a manner that befits the environment that they grew up in. The characters should feel as synonymous with the House as the House does with the land.
A Note Regarding Face Claims: Please be aware that Aeipathy take great pride in choosing face claims within family groups that bear a strong resemblance to one another. If your face claims do not, in the eyes of the staff team, appear believable in terms of their relationships, age or fictional genetics, please be aware that you may be asked to change them.
[u]ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[/u]
[b]Wanted Character[/b] In order to ensure that our world doesn't become solely full of nobles who have no connection to the common people, we require all of our Noble Houses to have a connection to a commoner in some way, shape or form. Perhaps it is a romance built into one of the family members' backstory, perhaps it is a servant who knows too much. The choice is up to you, but each Noble House submittance must come with one Wanted ad for a common born character connected to that House.
[b]Full Name:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Age:[/b] Self-explanatory. [b]Connection to the House:[/b] Servant, Lover etc? [b]Province of Birth:[/b] Self-explanatory. Does not have to be the province ruled by the House, if they were born elsewhere. [b]Face Claim:[/b] Please check our Face Claim list in our Character Compendium to ensure that this face is not already chosen for another played, canon or wanted character. If you have any confusion over this, please message a staff member regarding your choice. [b]Character Blurb:[/b] This blurb must read as a wanted ad, for that is what it will become upon the acceptance of the House. It must be over 300 words in length and cover the character's basic history, familial connections, personality, hobbies etc and any plot potential they hold. Remember! Use the information you have written above for the House and it's province to aid in your creation of the character!
