The Halmadonian tower is located in the northeast corner of Orin Rakatha, near the Pass of Jade.
Tower Colours:
Official Halmadonian representatives can usually be identified by their blue and gold livery, although there are several Knightly Orders within the Tower, whose liveries differ. (Players when they come larping at Herofest may wish to come up with their own ideas for knights and their orders tenants etc)
Faction Leader:
Sir Hannibal
Faction Representative:
Sir Pendragon
Summary:
An association of crusading cross-Planar Knights and their retinues; they are both honourable and law abiding people. They hold to their word and fight injustice wherever it is encountered. They live by their beliefs and hold to these to the letter - a Halmadonian would rather die than break their word.
Larping Notes:
The Halmadonians are an association of Knights from many worlds and they were one of the first Towers on Orin Rakatha to be occupied. They are led by a council of Grand Knights.
Their purpose in life is to oppose lawbreakers wherever they can. Although they have a Tower on this Plane their activities are spread across a multitude of worlds where they seek out challenges and quests to repeatedly test themselves and their retinues.
Many individuals will be found wondering Orin Rakatha deliberately looking for danger and challenges wherever possible. Their greatest activity on Orin Rakatha was their crusade many years ago against the Aldonar race that they all but wiped out.
Members of Halmadons Heights are extremely effective as a structured group who attack their enemies head on. They always fight honourably and normally give quarter to their enemy if asked.
Members of Halmadons Height are commonly human but do also have members from all races.
They have four rulers known as Sultans, who jointly rule the tower between them. They lost their Tower recently due to some internal politics, but managed to regain it a year later. They also used to control a Plane travelling device called the World Window, which was one of the main ways of travel between Planes, but lost it when they lost their Tower.
The Dai-Fah-Dyne trade with just about anyone and are known to uphold agreements on pain of death. However, be absolutely sure of the wording of any deal as if there is a loophole to be found you can be sure they will take full advantage.
Members of the Dai-Fah-Dyne normally operate in small groups, although can operate as a larger fighting force at times. They can be hard bargaining merchants, but are also steeped in tradition. Their culture has an Arabic flavour. Members of the Dai-Fah-Dyne are from all races.
Diplomatic status with the other factions
The Halmadonian will start events with neutrality towards all other factions. This of course may change on the event and your actions as the players will affect diplomatic relations on future events.
