I have been trying to come up with some way for DoD to begin its involvment with ORPA.

Tell me what you guys think of this..

Idea one : With DoD (under the guise of D^D) trying to stop SoE's march on Cove a few weeks back, diplomatic tentions would be high between our guilds. SoE may even attempt some revenge upon us because of it. To reach either Vesper or Britain by road, we would need to pass through SoE territory leaving our only other safe route to a town being via sea to Minoc. Do we need to make some arrangement with the "mayor" of Minoc in regards to our safe passage through there in return for a promise of our (albeit minimal) protection ? Or do we need to lay claim to Minoc as our own to ensure our trade requirements with a town and thus open ourselves to reprisals from larger guilds ?

Idea two : I could open Darkstone up for a takeover by other guilds. What I mean by this is, Darkstone has a great deal to offer in the way of tradesmen and natural resourses ( the forrest and the sea either side) as well as talented warriors and mages, making it a worthy addition to any guild seeking to advance it military and trade assets. If Darkstone were to be challenged for a take over DoD would be there to do its duty. If we were to be unsucessful we would then become a part of the winning guild. By this I dont mean we all jump onto their stone but we would in affect become allied to that guild, we would wear their uniform when called for duty in any other wars. Part of the deal would be that Darkstone would remain open to take over challenges by other guilds, opening the way for continuing stuggles for our land. Along the way we might strike a decent guild that would return our lands to us in return for trade agreements or the like. ..

The ideas are endless, but frought with logistical nightmares. Let me know what you think of these or any ideas of your own that we could use to help our involvement with ORPA better for us as well as the rest of the organisation.

Cheers
Ka
