Places, combat banners and groups

The alchemists of Mythodea and the Fortress of Diversity (Feste der Vielfalt) form an alliance whose courageous cooperation has brought a decisive turn to many campaigns. In the laboratories of the Free Alchemical Cauldron Community, alchemists and herbalists put their heads together, brood over all kinds of potions and recipes, analyze plants and poisons, and thus strike back at the enemy in their very own way. Both gifted masters are welcome, as well as scolars or novices, because the alliance has also made it its task to pass on and exchange knowledge. The “FAKG” is a free branch of the Alchemists Guild of Mitraspera. Representatives of the alchemical arts are invited to participate in the accomplishment of the tasks that are brought to the Free Alchemical Cauldron Community from everywhere. The Free Alchemical Cauldron Community can usually be found near the Commandery, if in doubt, just follow the loud bangs and interesting smells.

There are those who say that the Quartermaster’s Office of the Fortress of Diversity is a hub for goods, information and other things unlike any other on the campaign. Tailors, furriers and merchants of unusual things can be found in the Quartermaster’s Office. Even things found in unusual ways find a buyer here in the constant flow of goods. The quartermaster’s shop supplies the warriors of the fortress with everything they need for battle. In addition to the stationary goods and the constant exchange with the troops, the Quartermaster’s Office goes into battle under the yellow banner and also supplies the troops during the fighting. Armor in need of repair, shabby swords and all sorts of utensils are collected and taken to the forges in the fortress for repair. With the settlement of Aerdas, the focus shifted to trade and supplying the fortress beyond the campaigns. Since then, the Quartermaster’s Office has also taken on the task of concluding trade agreements, negotiating contracts and ensuring the economic stability of the fortress. The Quartermaster’s Office is grateful for every helping hand, as there is plenty to do – whether for craftsmen, traders, diplomats, soldiers, scribes and many other professions – there is always something to do in the Quartermaster’s Office!

The world of Mythodea is full of forgotten knowledge and lost places waiting to be discovered and explored. Wherever one encounters the unknown, usually only the right expertise can help. Thus, the Research Council of the Fortress of Diversity represents an association of various knowledge seekers, researchers and adventurers who use their knowledge and skills to collectively explore the unknown in the field. The knowledge thus gained in the field is used to support the commandery so that the challenges that arise during the war campaigns can be overcome in the best possible way. Just like the Feste itself, the Research Council, which emerged from the former Consulate of the Feste, draws its strength from the diversity of experts and can thus tackle the tasks of the world of Mythodea successfully. It does not matter how much knowledge one has already gathered about the continent, or how long one has been on the continent, what truly counts is the desire to explore new things and to use this knowledge against our enemies. As part of the Research Council, you should be prepared to face challenges in the field, such as exploring dark dungeons, acquiring knowledge in the thick of battle and examining ancient constructs, in order to discover knowledge and solve the riddles of the world. Anyone who sees themselves as a pioneer in their field of expertise, but also those who simply want to explore new things and learn in the process, are invited to join the Research Council on its explorations. The contact person for this is Mr. Quinn, the current First of the Research Council.

The Lavender Quarter comprises the members of the Purple Battle Banner and the associated civilian forces on the campaigns of the Fortress of Diversity. In addition to its own people, the quarter is also home to the “cultural center” of the fortress: The Purple Rat. The large black yurt in the heart of the quarter provides a meeting place, a communal area and a place of exchange for the members of the Lavender Quarter, the Fortress of Diversity and their guests. In the mornings, it is home to the Lila Latte, which provides a good start to the day with coffee. During the day, the Ratte invites you to social and scientific exchange. In the evenings, the main attractions are social evenings with bard music, tasty drinks and the chance to win a game of dice or cards. The Lila Ratte also offers space for events and celebrations.

Musicians and music lovers of the Feste der Vielfalt unite under the banner of Feste Fabled Folk. Whether experienced bard, passionate musician, solo singer or music group – Feste Fabled Folk offers a community for everyone who loves music and their instrument and wants to share this with others. Shared music evenings, gigs, mutual support or just a place to retreat are just some of the things the orange bard banner with the musical notes has to offer. If you too would like to become part of the Feste Fabled Folk community, make music together and help shape a place of harmony, creativity and friendship, then you will find the right people to talk to in Merane at the red banner, and with Yaski and Soska at the righteous camp – or simply ask about the Feste Fabled Folk! Even though the Bard Banner gathers under the flag of the Feste, it is not necessary to belong to the Feste of Diversity – musicians from other realms and seals are always welcome!

The diplomats represent the Fortress of Diversity and maintain relations with other realms and seals. To this end, they are in constant contact with each other and with the allies of the Fortress of Diversity, conduct talks and negotiations are the first point of contact whenever exchanges with other factions are required. In addition to maintaining existing connections, establishing new contacts and initiating diplomatic talks with new factions is of course also an essential part of the diplomats’ remit. Especially the discovery of the new continent – Sarkan – and the new empires and factions will present diplomats with great but also exciting challenges in the future. If you already have good contacts with one (or more) groups outside of the Fortress, it’s definitely worth taking a look at the Diplomats – but of course this is not a prerequisite for joining the Diplomats. Even if you don’t have any major contacts outside of the fortress, you can get involved here and use the Diplomats’ existing structures to make and maintain contacts.

An army camp faces many dangers – even outside the battlefield. Be it attacks or intrigues from outside the fortress or disagreements or sabotage from within: Not all deeds and dangers are open and can be fought with the sword alone. The Investigator has dedicated himself to fighting these enemies of the Fortress of Diversity in the constant battle against the hidden forces underground. But the Investigator doesn’t just operate on the inside – the Investigator also protects the Fortress and its members from all kinds of threats across seals and realms. He is supported by the Guard and the righteous members of the fortress, as well as the diplomat when conflicts arise with outsiders. In all endeavors and actions of the Investigation, the principle of protecting the Fortress of Diversity is paramount.
