OOC Notes:
This event is open to non-kinmembers and kinmembers alike. If you are not entirely knowledgeable on Rohirric culture, we suggest you check our website (aldburg.shivtr.com/) of where we have a guide to setting up Rohirric characters as well as a section under our forums for lore to help you become situated. Feel free to message an officer of The Folk of Aldburg for more information. Also note that this is a human event. Very rarely were Dwarves, Elves, or Hobbits seen in Aldburg. Typically we prefer Rohirrim, but a few Gondorians or so on are alright. We are very happy to have outsiders join our event, but as long as you keep it limited to humans. If you play an Elf or a Dwarf who wishes to attend, please message an officer to discuss it.
Please keep chat in-character as much as you can and leave OOC conversations to individual fellowships, kinship channels, or tells. Please avoid forced or repetitive emotes. If you wish to cause trouble ICly, that is happily welcome (although do expect to meet consequences), but please try not to cause trouble OOCly for it will not be tolerated. Also, keep entertainment such as songs, stories, poems, and so on lore accurate. Things you'd hear spoken or talked of in Rohan.
For those of low levels, you can use Mithril Coins bought from the LOTRO store to travel to Aldburg from Breeland stables. If you do not know your way around Aldburg, again feel free to ask for assistance or resort to our Welcome to Aldburg guide or message any member of The Folk of Aldburg.
Above all though our biggest rule is have fun. That is what RP is about, isn't it? Feel free to come and enjoy yourself as well as shop from our vendors and take part in our festivities. You are also free to use this sort of event as a trial if you're considering making a permanent character in Rohan.
Please contact: Seaxa, Audelwyn, or Ealhild for more information.
