Battles

At the event we will be running two large battles, one Saturday morning and one Sunday morning. The large battles will follow the normal rules for battles; you may only participate in a single battle as your character and you must monster the other battle if you decide to participate in one. The sides for the battles will be chosen by the generals in the Muster of the Imperial Military Council on Friday night.

The fighting begins at 11:00 am - but if you are playing the battle then you will need to muster up before this time and if you are monstering then you need to make your way to the monster area for 10:00 am to give us time to get you into costume, made-up and briefed.

Quests

At our previous event we asked for player volunteers to give us a few hours to monster some of our larger quests. This let us run much more plot at the event so we're asking for more help again this time.

To help us organize folk, we've set aside a slot for each nation to volunteer to monster, which are listed below.

Saturday		Sunday
Time	Nation	Time	Nation
14:00-15:30	Dawn	14:00-15:30	Imperial Orcs & The League
15:30-17:00	Navaar	15:30-17:00	Wintermark
17:00-18:30	The Marches, Urizen & Brass Coast	17:00-18:30	Varushka & Highguard

Monstering during this slot is purely voluntary - but it will help us put on a much better event for everyone. We are tracking the numbers of players who volunteer from each nation on an ongoing basis and using that to create equivalent sized quest opportunities for those nations at the next event. In effect, we'll try and deliver more fights to the nations that volunteer the most - on the assumption that those nations contain the players who want those opportunities the most.
