Alliance Minnesota Campaign - Be all you can't be!

Hey, it's this Website. I expect this will get more details added to it later!

Type the text for 'The Albor Campaign'

Most commerce done in the Minnesota Campaign is in standard Alliance coinage. However, certain races, such as the Serpentine, use other types of currency which are recognized by The Crown (in their case, pearls and other semi-precious to precious stones and gems since some are water or near-water dwellers), and are thus considered Treasure In-Game. Most of this knowledge can be easily gained IG after a few Events by smart and observant players.

RACES

All of the Alliance Races have their own Race Packets, which are available to PCs. However, we do have some Plot-related Local Chapter Only quirks players should be aware of:

Barbarians:
The following Barbarian tribes are available to PCs — the Children of the Colored Sky, Rockfists (special), and the Walani — and all have their own separate handouts in development. Other Barbarian tribes encountered are NPC only.

Biata:
Considered a "new" race to Albor, Biata have their own campaign specific Race Packet supplement in development. An extra handout explaining Biata mental powers is also available.

Dark Elves:
Due to our overall Plot, nearly all of the native Dark Elves in our campaign were at once enslaved by the Dark Powers and thus have a very extensive history and backstory. A campaign specific Dark Elf Race Packet supplement is available.

Dwarves:
The Minnesota campaign has two types of Dwarves: Mountain and Hill. The differences between them are strictly role-play, and thus we have two separate campaign specific Race Packet supplements for them.

Elves:
As with Dwarves (see above), we have two types of Elves: standard and Wild. Again, these differences are strictly role-play.

Gypsy:
There are three major Gypsy tribes in our campaign: the Rubinkos, the Tarmangani, and the Vohsk. Only the Tarmangani and the Vohsk are available to PCs. In development.

High Ogres:
As found in Race Packet.

High Orcs:
As found in Race Packet, unless of the Kazzagorrak tribe, which has its own handout.

Hoblings:
As found in Race Packet.

Mystic Wood Elves:
Not native to Albor. See Plot for specifics.

Saar:
The Saar sub-species most prevalent in our campaign are as follows: Bobcat, Cougar, Lynx, Panther, Snow Leopard, and Tiger. Playing any other kind of sub-species will require the approval of Plot.

Scavengers:
Alliance Minnesota has the following Scavenger Races templated and placed in our campaign History: Badger, Jackalope, Porcine (Pig/Boar), Pronger (Antelope), Usagi (Rabbit), Sneeks (Raccoon), Rat (Skurven), Serpentine (Reptile), Fox, and Wolfen (Wolf). Any and all other created or transferred Scavengers must follow already established templates after 4/1/06. New types of Scavengers (i.e. "Butterfly Men" and the like) must first be approved by Plot and possibly need to be inserted into the campaign backhistory.

Stone Elves:
A supplemental handout explaining their mental powers is in development. Another handout explains their role amongst "The-Three-Who-Are-One," also in development.

Some Currently needed items.

# Costuming (Monster costumes especially or costuming for Newbies)
# Armor (any)
# Props (Anything from table cloths, Wall hangings etc.)
# Masks, especially for Gnolls, Bugbears, and Orcs.
# Extra Rule Books
# Extra Coinage
# More players. Remember, you get Gobbies for bringing in NEW paying members.
# Brown, white, green, red, and black tabards -- we're NOT talking about a piece of fabric with a hole cut in the middle of it, either. Tabards constructed out of sturdy materials with non-frayed edges, pockets, and the like are what are needed -- ones that are not only functional, but LOOK good as well...
# Resurrection robes for the Healer's Guild. Remember, you show up in the Circle nekkid... A portable hanger/rack would be nice, too. (Resurrection robes are generally single piece robes that can be put on/off quickly)
# Nice, big, loud, clangy bells for the Circles
# Rolls/sheets of parchment(-like) paper.
# Scores upon scores of NPC arrows... NPC arrows have been traditionally made with RED ribbons.
# Bows, spears, polearms, 2-Handed weapon reps. (also known as boffers) Generally all weapon reps are useful for monster camp, or to provide new players. (Quality of construction is taken into consideration when distributing gobbies for reps.)
# Scroll tubes.
# In period cloth or leather pouches, bags etc. (Currently valued at 2x regular gobbies)
# More garb donations for NPCs and struggling PCs alike. (Currently Value at 2x regular gobbies)
# More decorations and the like for the Tavern.
# White/Orange headbands, Orange headbands should have the word 'Page' written on them
# Fireside Cooking equipment (Just about anything you'd use at a campout).
# Tusks, ears, and other theatrical prosthetics.
# More liquid light sticks.
# Outdoor games that are medieval in nature.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but should help those in need of items that would like to donate.

!April Event - April 4th-6th Overnight "A Greenskin spring"
As spring arrives it brings with it rumors of goblins and orcs acting far outside the norm. The fragile city of StormGarde stands in the middle of a sea of green. What is the source of greenskins new abilities? What trials will the adventurers face as the land once again awakes for a fresh year of growth?

This Event Will be held at the Sterns Campsite [[Directions]]

!May Event - May 16th-18th Overnight "Green Waters Run High"
Having made new friends, and discovered old enemies, the adventurers of StormGarde stand once again against their foes. Will their new friends, and own confidence be enough to win the day?

This Event Will be held at the Sterns Campsite [[Directions]]

# More players. Remember, you get Gobbies for bringing in NEW paid members.
# Brown, white, green, red, and black tabards -- we're NOT talking about a piece of fabric with a hole cut in the middle of it, either. Tabards constructed out of sturdy materials with non-frayed edges, pockets, and the like are what are needed -- ones that are not only functional, but LOOK good as well...
# Resurrection robes for the Healer's Guild. Remember, you show up in the Circle nekkid... A portable hanger/rack would be nice, too.
# Nice, big, loud, clangy bells for the Circles and slotted OOG coin buckets for the silvers.
# Rolls/sheets of parchment(-like) paper.
# Scores upon scores of NPC arrows... NPC arrows have been traditionally made with RED ribbons.
# NPC bows. (Our old ones are getty very ratty-looking.)
# A few more NPC spears, polearms, and ***LONG*** swords. Again, rattyness.
# Scroll tubes.
# Scads of NPC pouches that all look the same. That way we can include no-brainer, less hassle searches in most cases...
# More garb donations for NPCs and struggling PCs alike.
# More decorations and the like for the Tavern.
# More copper pieces.
# A box full of white spirit headbands since most attendees seem to always forget theirs. Some orange Page headbands would be nice, too.
# Fireside pie makers and metal hot dog forks for the Tavern.
# Tusks.
# More light sticks.
# Outdoor games that are medieval in nature.

Goblin stamps are a compensation for time spent or items donated when real cash cannot be given out.

First there is time:

You can earn Goblin Stamps for helping to set up NPC camp, help Logistics cut tags, help set up the Tavern and Guilds, or any other pre-event things that need to be done.

NPCing is also a great way to earn stamps, usually one for every hour you NPC. Plus you can play as different characters from a Goblin to a Townsperson to a Fire Elemental.

Then the items:

Usually items are dollar for dollar.

For example, you buy juice for the Tavern that costs $10 total, you'll get 10 Goblin Stamps.

You can donate drinks and food to the tavern, food and drink for NPC camp, materials for making weapons (PVC pipe, duct tape, etc.) stuff to make clothing, spell and arrow packets, makeup and accessories.

Really just about anything you think the Chapter needs to run an event comfortably and easily, you can donate.

There are some things that might be desparately needed. In this case, you will receive even more stamps.

Now the big question you are probably asking yourself: What can I do with these stamps?

You can buy back a Resurrection beyond the two freebies, use the stamps like Production Points to buy armor, weapon, alchemy, potion, scroll, or trap tags, and buy Event or Monthly Blankets to boost your character's BP.

!Welcome to the Minnesota Alliance Website!
(Please pardon the dust as we continue to get things settled with our site.)

!What is the Minnesota Alliance Campaign?
We are the Minnesota chapter of the national Alliance Live Action Roleplaying Game (or LARP for short).
The Alliance is dedicated to recreating the Days of Legend as we would like them to be and not how they actually were.  Games are put on roughly every 3-5 weeks at various campsites and events run anywhere from a few hours to the rare week long event!

!Latest 5 bits of News

Participate on the IG and OOG Minnesota campaign forum boards at The [[Forums]].

IG means In-Game. This refers to anything that takes place 'in-game'. Such as discussions during an event or after an event between characters.

This term refers to any time that players of Alliance are 'In-Game' (or Larping).

This term refers to participation in a Live Action Role Play.

This term stands for Live Action Role Play.

!COINAGE

{{firstletter{
@@color:#999;M@@
}}}ost commerce done in the Minnesota Campaign is in standard Alliance coinage. However, certain races, such as the Serpentine, use other types of currency which are recognized by the Crown (in their case, pearls and other semi-precious to precious stones and gems since some are water or near-water dwellers), and are thus considered Treasure In-Game. Most of this knowledge can be easily gained IG after a few Events by smart and observant players.

!RACES

All of the Alliance Races have their own Race Packets, which are available to PCs. However, we do have some Plot-related Local Chapter Only quirks players should be aware of:

!!Barbarians:
The following Barbarian tribes are available to PCs -- the Children of the Colored Sky, Rockfists (special), and the Walani -- and all have their own separate handouts in development. Other Barbarian tribes encountered are NPC only.

!!Biata:
Considered a "new" race to Albor, Biata have their own campaign specific Race Packet supplement in development. An extra handout explaining Biata mental powers is also available.

!!Dark Elves:
Due to our overall Plot, nearly all of the native Dark Elves in our campaign were at once enslaved by the Dark Powers and thus have a very extensive history and backstory. A campaign specific Dark Elf Race Packet supplement is available.

!!Dwarves:
The Minnesota campaign has two types of Dwarves: Mountain and Hill. The differences between them are strictly role-play, and thus we have two separate campaign specific Race Packet supplements for them.

!!Elves:
As with Dwarves (see above), we have two types of Elves: standard and Wild. Again, these differences are strictly role-play.

!!Gypsy:
There are three major Gypsy tribes in our campaign: the Rubinkos, the Tarmangani, and the Vohsk. Only the Tarmangani and the Vohsk are available to PCs. In development.

!!High Ogres:
As found in Race Packet.

!!High Orcs:
As found in Race Packet, unless of the Kazzagorrak tribe, which has its own handout.

!!Hoblings:
As found in Race Packet.

!!Mystic Wood Elves:
Not native to Albor. See Plot for specifics.

!!Saar:
The Saar sub-species most prevalent in our campaign are as follows: Bobcat, Cougar, Lynx, Panther, Snow Leopard, and Tiger. Playing any other kind of sub-species will require the approval of Plot.

!!Scavengers:
Alliance Minnesota has the following Scavenger Races templated and placed in our campaign History: Badger, Bat, Jackalope, Porcine (Pig/Boar), Pronger (Antelope), Usagi (Rabbit), Sneaks (Raccoon), Rat, Serpentine (Reptile), and Wolfen (Wolf). Any and all other created or transferred Scavengers must follow already established templates after 4/1/06. New types of Scavengers (i.e. "Butterfly Men" and the like) must first be approved by Plot and possibly need to be inserted into the campaign backhistory.

!!Stone Elves:
A supplemental handout explaining their mental powers is in development. Another handout explains their role amongst "The-Three-Who-Are-One," also in development.

This area is still awaiting info on the various sites where Alliance Minnesota Chapter events will be held.

This is a term used to describe a player who is currently playing one of the NPCs.

NPC stands for Non-Player Character.

An area designated by the Rules Marshals and Staff (usually after a Combat Moratorium) to be combat-free.

Someone you does not play a individual, personalized character but rather plays assigned roles to further the story, or plot.

!What is an IBGA?
IBGA stands for In Between Game Action. It is a plot submission stating what your character is doing in the time between on event and the next. These plot submissions are subject to the rules and guidelines posted below.

!Plot Submission Policy (IBGA's)

''Plot Submission Rules and Guidelines:''
(as approved by Roy C. Booth, Chapter Owner of Alliance LARP Minnesota)

1. Players are encouraged to send a character history (for characters native to MN) or a character update (for characters visiting MN) prior to sending plot submissions. This allows plot to get a feel for your character and also write character history plot for your
character.

2. Players may submit to Plot a plot submission -- a description of what their character will be doing over the course of a month, during the off-season, or between events.

3. Players are encouraged to submit what they character can reasonably do during the time period in question (a month or between events). Please keep in mind that in the Alborian Empire e-mail, FedEx, cars, airplanes, and postal trucks do not exist. It takes time to travel from location to location as well as to send mail to others.

4. If your character wishes to report to an NPC, this can only be done via a letter with a written report of what you wish to say. We will no longer accept submissions that merely state that you updated the NPC. What you wish to tell them or report to them you just actually write out. If you wish to have a dialog with an NPC, you will need to do this in-game at events.

''Plot Submission Process:''
1. Complete Plot Submissions are to be sent to [[larp_mn@hotmail.com|mailto:larp_mn@hotmail.com]]. All plot submissions sent elsewhere will not be accepted.

2. You will receive a response within a few days stating that we have received your plot submission. If you have not received a response within 3 days of sending your plot submission, please resend it to [[larp_mn@hotmail.com|mailto:larp_mn@hotmail.com]].

3. The Head of Plot will then assign your plot submission to the appropriate writer and your submission will be worked on. Please allow 2-3 weeks.

4. Your plot response will be sent to you from [[larp_mn@hotmail.com|mailto:larp_mn@hotmail.com]].

Note: All plot submissions must be sent 2 weeks prior to an event. If your plot submission is sent in less than 2 weeks prior to an event, you may not receive a plot response or it may be handled in-game.

Our Fearless Leader!

!Chronicles from the Year of the Crown 0-100
''01/01/0000'' The M’Loroi tribes gather in deep winter to unite and name a king at the meeting of the M’Loroi and Albor Rivers in order to overthrow the tyranny of the humanoids that had enslaved them in them past. Two factions arise, the Uncommitted, who break off and go their separate ways and eventually become the Barbarian Tribes of Albor, and the Alborians, the ones who do unite and name Justinian the Patriot their first King. Thus begin the Alborian Chronicles and the grand, long lineage that is the Crown of Albor.

''07/04/0001'' Justinian the Great issues the Grand Edict – the laws of Albor are solidified and the rights and freedoms of the Citizens made known. The original copy of the Grand Edict is presently preserved along with other copies at the Imperial Palace. The Ley Lines along the shores of M’Loroi and Albor Rivers are brought together, and massive amounts of eldritch energy are tapped into enabling the Crown to become the Land and the Land to become the Crown. Justinian then becomes one with the Crown. This is also known as the Great Investiture.

''07/07/0001'' The Topaz Throne, a gift from all of the then allies of the Crown, is presented to Justinian the Great. The Throne will stay at Drake’s End until moved to the Palace Imperial years later.

''08/03/0001'' The Elven Order of the Accord is formed to patrol and protect the Ley Line Monoliths from harm and to protect inland Alborian interests.

''09/10/0005'' Impressed with the Elven Order of the Accord, the Crown creates the Golden Knights Royale to protect the Nobles Royale and the Grand Council.

''12/03/0005'' The Alborian Diplomatic Corps is created by order of the Crown to assist the Golden Knights Royale.

''02/16/0013'' The Wiscgorran Badgermen invade southern Albor. They make it as far as Chatfield where they set camp.

''03/06/0013'' The Second Battle of Chatfield starts at dawn and lasts until mid afternoon in a stalemate.

''03/07/0013'' An enterprising duo consisting of the Hobling cartographer Merryman Starbuck and the Wolfen “acquisitions dealer” Hurrr steal the battle plans of the Badgerman General Dega Silvershanks, and replace it with a map of their own.

''03/09/0013'' Wiscgorran General Dega Silvershanks leads his troops erroneously into a trap in a cornfield south of Chatfield. An army of various Hoblings and Scavengers loyal to the Crown beleaguer and confuse the Wiscgorrans in the cornfield, effectively breaking up their ranks, and scattering them in retreat. This entire incident is now known as the Chatfield Cornfield War.

''08/12/0013'' Merryman Starbuck and Hurrr are knighted by Justinian the Great at Drake’s End.

''04/11/0028'' Justinian II is born in secrecy along the shores of the Albor River, near where the present day Palace Imperial now stands.

''10/07/0029'' Justinian the Great is slain at the Battle of Prior Lake by his wizard cousin Krelbar. Krelbar is in turn slain by Kurgen Allbright after a terrific long drawn out battle. The Alborian Army holds and eventually advances to Shakopee where it is reinforced by the Elves there.

''10/09/0029'' Justinian II named King with the Grand Council as ruling regent until the age of ascendancy is reached.

''12/15/0029'' Kurgen Allbright permanently dies from wounds received at the Battle of Prior Lake somewhere along the shores of M’Loroi River south of present day Rochester. Although his body was found, his sword, Pacifier, was not. Legend has it that Allbright hid the sword by magical means in order to entrust it to a future generation who can then make use of its power during Albor’s greatest time of need.

''01/01/0045'' The Alborian Calendar is recalibrated with the incorporation of a “leap year.” Changes are thus made in The Alborian Chronicles.

''01/23/0045'' Justinian II marries Tarasia of the Faunnari Elves. The Elven Accord goes into effect immediately thereafter, thus ending the royal line of Elven Kings and intertwining the Elves of Albor with the Tribes of M’Loroi forever.

''04/11/0046'' Justinian II is crowned King of Albor.

''08/17/0046'' Justinian III, the Half Elf, is born at Rochester Keep.

''08/26/0046'' Justinian II forms the Royal Order of Justifier Paladins in honor of the lofty ideals set forth and lived by Justinian the Great.

''- -/- -/0086'' The Dark Powers’ armies overtake the walled port city of D’Lut’h. It is there that the Dark Powers still maintain their evil necropolis.

''06/29/0092'' Justinian III’s army overwhelmingly defeats the Orc/Badgermen army at Woodbury, which scatters the Orc tribes across the land and the Badgermen back to Wiscgorra. The victory is greatly due to his Dwarven allies from the Pillager Hills and the Cross By Crags intercepting the Troll and Ogre reinforcements coming down the Great Corridor Road from D’Lut’h. Albor finally becomes a fully united sovereign nation able to stand on its own. Concludes on 7/4/0092.

''06/07/0196'' At Prince Evincarl’s 13th birthday party at Drake’s End, Ruadh I decrees the beginning of the Ducal Lord Regents and names his brothers Justinian the Swift and Evincarl Dukes of the Realm. Justinian the Swift is granted the south central part of Albor, while Evincarl is granted the southeast and the Corridor. Ruadh then breaks all precedence and names his sister Duchess Alanna, Ducal Regent of the territories of the North. The family lines still maintain these Ducal regencies to this day.

''06/10/0196'' Ruadh I declares all women equal in the eyes of the Crown and accordance to the Grand Edict and dissolves certain institutions harmful to women.

''- -/- -/0254'' The Crown sponsors a series of expeditions to the unclaimed northern regions. The explorers do meet some resistance by the local Goblinoid tribes, but for the most part the missions are successful due to the invaluable aid given by the Lynxae and the Kazzorak.

''04/08/0272'' A farmer by the name of Gunter Stockton captures Phillip LeGuare on the shores of the Serpentine River by what is present day Winona. Ironically, Gunter Stockton is a direct descendent of Ivan Stockton, the same farmer who helped rescue Justinian the Swift in 186.

''02/09/0277'' Queen Imelda gives birth to twins, Justinian VIII and Ruadh II. Due to a midwife’s blunder it is not known as to which child came into the world first, so both are named Heir Apparents.

''- -/- -/0278'' Spring - Daniel Greysolon, an expatriate noble from Wiscgorra, sets off to negotiate peace amongst the Wild Elves and Barbarians. Hennipen and La Salle leave Caladaria on the Griffon and travel by ship all the way to the Free Wiscgorran port of Green Bay where they continued on by canoe.

''- -/- -/0278'' Winter - Greysolon spends the winter with the Wild Elves at Sault Marie.

''- -/- -/0279'' Spring - Greysolon holds council with more Wild Elves at the western tip of Lake Superior, not a stone throw’s away from the dark city of D’Lut’H. Greysolon is lead by the Wild Elves to another Wild Elf village on Mill Lacs Lake. There he won their friendship and their promise to end their strife with the Lynxae. He sends three of his men to cross Albor and to go as far west as they could. By fall he will have made his way back to Lake Superior and will have negotiated the truce between the Lynxae and the Wild Elves. Greysolon then returns to the free city of Sault Marie.

''- -/- -/0280'' Spring - Hennipen and two men, Michel Augelle and Antoine Accault, try to explore up the M’Loroi River where it meets with the Serpentine. The group then encounters a 33-canoe Wild Elf war party. The group leaves their canoes at Phalen Creek, then trek their way to Mille Lacs Lake. Greysolon’s three men return to Sault Marie with news of running into a large nomadic group of Lion Sarr half way across the Great Badlands. After they had hunted with the Sarr and traded with them, they spoke at great length of a land called “Sultracka” further west beyond the Great Badlands. Greysolon then embarks upon a quest to cross all of Albor and beyond the Great Badlands to Sultracka.

''- -/- -/0280'' Summer - Hennipen leaves Mille Lacs to go down the M’Loroi River with a Wild Elf Hunting party. They arrive at great waterfall that Hennipen christens “Anthony Falls” in honor of a patron of his back home.

''08/- -/0280'' Greysolon and Hennipen come upon each other where the Albor and M’Loroi Rivers meet. The seven then traveled with the Wild Elves to their village at Mille Lacs Lake. That fall they set out for the island nation of Mackinac with a map drawn by the Wild Elf leader.

''- -/- -/0281'' Summer - Hennipen returns to Caladaria and writes a book about his travels that makes him famous. Although he would then go off and explore other lands on Fortannis, his final fate is still yet unknown.

For nearly 70 long years he kept the Corridor safe from the advances of the Dark Powers’s troops from D’Lut’H. He is buried with full Justifier Paladin honors at Drake’s End. A statue is soon thereafter erected in his honor, which was then moved to the Palace Imperial and placed in the Hall of Heroes.
