So recently I've received a rash of PMs about the Knights and their Quests. I've also received a rash of requests to join the knighthood, but I'm going to shelve that and leave that to the Sylira ST's for now.
Here's what I was thinking. I want to pose the idea to you folks and see what you think and then see if we have any volunteers for the group. I'd like to turn the development and execution of Knighting Quests over to a team of players that are creative and like to develop quests, but are too busy for full time staffing positions like becoming Storytellers. Lets call this group the Syliran Team for right now.
Basically this would be a volunteer group with their own little forum that a Syliran Knight player could approach to receive his or her Knighting Quest from. I'd like to turn these Knighting Quests over into something characters can have GST'd or even Solo'd depending upon the individual. The Syliran Team would have to go in order, develop quests as the requests came in, and then follow the quests to make sure everything was going smoothly and no one got threads dropped or abandoned. After the quest was completed, this team would be responsible for GRADING the threads and then someone from the Team could then HD ticket to have the quest approved and SS threads added to reflecting full knighthood acquired status.
Sylrian Team members would get a medal reflecting this. They would have to be experienced players. And they would have to be active graders.
This would stop the stagnation of Knighting Quests and get the gears in Syliras moving in regards to the Knighthood. Later, if this worked out, we could have them handle who joins the knighthood as well.
Also, if players wanted to be Syliran Knights in other domains (such as a spy in Ravok or stationed in Riverfall) they could do so because the Syliran Team could handle some of their requests as we expand their duties.
What do you think of this as a player? Yes, that would mean GSTs and PCs could handle the appearance of Glav Navik (aka the new Sylir) at the end of their threads for their Knighting marks just like they do in the HD for Gnosis Stories.
Are there any readily eager volunteers? There's no point in implementing this if no one wants to volunteer to be on the team. Obviously its not a huge time commitment, but its something that would help the Knighthood tremendously. And if we got the Ebonstryfe off the ground to the extent the Syliran Knights are, we could do a similar team for them.
Thoughts? Can you volunteer?
