The Island of Farnacium used to be a free port in Thassa the sea, overseen by the Caste of Merchants. Several months ago, a large fleet of tarnships, many painted green, and flying a flag marked with a field of crimson with two black scimitars crossed floated into the harbor and began disembarking hordes of Warriors.
The hired squads of Warriors who were garrisoned here fought hard, but ultimately lost, and Shadowglade himself set up his own garrison here, claiming Farnacium as his own.
Now, Shadowglade oversees all business in the seas around the island, having made restitution to the Caste of Merchants financially, he has settled their dispute, allowing them a trade port on the island, and giving his fleet's protection of their ships when they are within his domain, which includes the main island as well as several small unnamed islands in the outlying sea.
Farnacium lies directly west of the Northern Forests of Gor, not too far from the southern-most border of what is known commonly on Gor as "Torvaldsland".
This gives the Island the unique opportunity to keep trade, and continued encounters with the strong Jarls of Torvaldsland, while still remaining part of the so called "South" from which Shadowglade, his men, and his slaves all hail. While not as warm in weather as Port Kar, perhaps, Farnacium, also known as the "Garden-Isle" is definitely warmer than Torvaldsland all around the Gorean year. It boasts beautiful forests to the south end of the island, with many waterfalls, and more temperate forests towards the central, and northern portions of the Island.
Farnacium is a Kill/Capture zone.
No kill or capture will be acknowledged as valid until Shadowglade has reviewed it, and made a decision on a case by case basis whether a kill was
1: legal based on the combat rules
OR
2: warrented -disruptive roleplay for example might be met with death, should it be deemed appropriate-
Any/all kills, or captures should be copied and pasted, and e-mailed to farnacium.admin@gmail.com for review, and a post should be made to the news/info board on the message boards.
F.A.Q.s
Q: Why can't I see my posts?
A: The format in Farnacium is different than some chats you might be used to. Rather than appearing at the top of your screen, your posts will appear at the bottom. You must scroll all the way to the bottom to see what's currently being said.
Q: What are all these pulldowns for?
A: They are for role play purposes. Each pulldown is a "place" within the city, and/or Island of Farnacium. You choose the locale you wish to place yourself in, and use the pulldown to state that. When you post, it will state you are "At the tavern" or "In the main hall" and so on. Until you change it, or reload the page, that will be where you "phyisically" (for lack of a better term) are.
Q: How can I get one of those pretty avitars? (or icons depending on your choice of descriptions)
A: In Farnacium, you don't have to be a member of Creative Chat to have an avi...in fact, all you need is an avi, and to have it hosted someplace online, and a basic knowledge of HTML encoding.
