CELTWOOD Regelsysteem

Een aantal principes, dat wij hanteren zijn: Wat je hebt aan wapens en uitrusting mag je dragen en meenemen, zolang het maar in de setting past. Let wel dat wij voor wapenrusting uitgaan van het principe dat het materiaal is wat het is. Een wollen trui is bij ons bijvoorbeeld geen chainmail. Voor schade hanteren we een low-hit systeem; 3 welgemikte slagen zijn voldoende om een ongepantserde menselijke tegenstander uit te schakelen. Magie is er in de vorm van ‘Wyrd’ krachten die je gebruikt om spreuken te doen. Je kunt je krachten weer opladen bij verborgen ‘Shrines’ die gewijd zijn aan Keltische goden.

Op het evenement gelden de normale Dummnoni Chronicles regels. Enige uitzondering voor nieuwe spelers is dat zij kiezen uit de drie clans Nervi, Menapi & Usipete en geen ander ras dan mens zijn. Klik op de link hierinder om naar het regelsysteem te gaan:

Inglish?

Zoals je zult zien, zijn het achtergrondverhaal en de beschrijvingen van de clans in het Engels. Ook tijdens het spel wordt er meestal Engels gesproken. Voornaamste reden hiervoor is dat wij vinden dat dit bijdraagt aan de intensiteit van de spelbeleving. Maar dit moet nooit een belemmering zijn. Als je iets belangrijks wilt zeggen, kun je dat ook in het Nederlands doen. En als je iets niet begrepen hebt, vraag het dan gerust nog eens aan een clangenoot.

Setting & Event Background

The Realm
It has long been known that a parallel world to our own exists - a magical realm where all manner of fantastic creatures dwell. Entrance to this world is not easy but even so, many people have passed through magical doorways and forever left this world for the land of the faerie. Thus it is that while many of the old people and tribes of Albion, Erin and beyond, have long since passed into memory by watered breeding or by way of fire and sword; in the land of the Faerie they have survived. In these lands the High Magic is strong in blood and soil. A realm where the Light of Lugh shines on the blades of great warriors and brings courage to their hearths. ,

The Event
For years the three clans from this side of the sea have met in celebration and contest to measure each others strength and share in trade. Each clan is strong in their ways and beliefs. But during the last gathering the festive mood was shattered time and time again. Where are the days of the friendly festival of old? Some say peace will only come once the Formorians are utterly destroyed. The Queen of all Kings, Ard-Ri Athea will attend this year’s celebration. She will join in the fun and games, but also extends an invitation to join her in the Meadhall to discuss the war with the Formorians and the return of the Deep Ones in particular...

The Clans
Many are the clans of the free races that have spread across the realm of the Faerie after passing through the misty gates. On this side of the sea three clans are most prominent: The Menapi, Usipeti a Nervi.

Nervi
A warrior tribe of extraordinary courage and a strong sense of freedom. They will not submit to anything foreign, and will steer clear of foreign customs. Their lust for purity is taken far: they hardly drink alcohol, if at all, to keep their heads clear for battle. Dedicated mostly to the terrible Maga and of course to the Morrigu, the Crone of War, who they hope will pick them once from the battlefield. Courage, however, does not equal stupidity, and they don’t mind using cunning tricks and tactics to beat their enemies. Steer away from the vanguard of the Nervi, with white clay in their hairs, blue woads in their faces, and a gleam of death in their eyes.

Menapi
Wood-dwellers who are dedicated to the power of life they see in nature everywhere. Witnessing existence as an eternal struggle between opposing forces - creation and destruction, order and chaos - they are dedicated to keeping this struggle balanced. A tribe rich on druids and shamen, they have a deep understanding of the workings of Wyrd. They see hidden forces at work where others will not look beneath the surface of events. As said, balance-keepers, whose sympathy does not automatically lie where you expect. Don’t get mixed up in the dark rituals of the Menapi. The druid’s sickle reflecting the last rays of the sun is used for more than cutting branches.


Menapi Forum

Usipeti
A tribe dwelling near the Menapi, but also travelling around as they are traders. Open-hearted to foreign people, for trade, but also for travel companions or friends. Can often be found at campfires, enjoying good company, good stories, and a night under the starry sky. Their wisdom, gathered in songs and tales, is more worldly-wise than the arcane knowledge the Menapi hoard. Although the Usipeti know how to fight (you do not own what you cannot defend), they prefer to stick to negotiations, trades, and pacts to defend their ways, raising the battle banner only as a last resort. Don’t try to fool the Usipeti, they may have a hidden strength in unknown alliances, and they have seen enough of the world to tell friend from enemy.
