What I believe...

Ta-Aakii . Daughter of Dragons

Aakii Jahesa
The Homestead

I am a firm believer that homesteads will bring Old School Gor back.
For many reasons.
It is a confined environment, no huge armies are allowed by design.
It encourages RP and discourages combat, making it mean something.
Makes Raid/Rescue ratios real - 1 vs 1 when no gates to overcome.
Allows new trends to develop, like multiple levels and entry/exit points.
And last but most important, it is easier to maintain by a single owner.

Being a Gorean Homestead owner, I decided to let the Council rule the Role Play aspects of life on the Islands. Starting as the group leader does not make the position a lifetime one.
In line with the tradition, panthers do choose a leader periodically.
On Aakii, the Taae Gianii vote the En every quarter. Four elections every year. I will submit to the Taae's will and step down for another if it comes to that. So many regions are locked into one person's ways and views, forgetting the group and how it evolves.

To me, stories and History are everything.
May this region be a testament to this.

notes:

ON ROLEPLAY

The northwest mountains are Taae country, beware approaching.
If you remain on the southeast region, the plains, East Forest and
South Forest, as well as the Three Lakes central region are free
wilderness. Explore. Be mindfull of islanders other than the Taae.
Some continentals call Aakii Jahesa home and have settled on
the southeast regions or Ta-Aakii Jahesa.

USE the available resources to enhance your Role Play.
Wild animals, hiding places, beaches, islets and Ta-Aakii provide
great ways to make your presence known and your experience
fun! Remember there are iC sources on the Islands that may be
useful in your personal quests. They also provide iC hindsight
on the region and the ones living here. USE them!

ON FLAGGING AND COMBAT

Flags are only recognized when a NC with the RP is left behind.
Homesteads are limited combat environments. We tried to keep
Aakii open to all approaches in Role Play, including combat,
however, our ratio of 1 vs 1 and 1 vs 2 (tarns) makes battles look
more like skermishes, and to be true to the spirit of Gor, no huge
bands of outlaws ever attacked any tribe.

ON GE and BTB

We are BBP and OSG - By the Book Panthers / Old School Gor.
That means other than Tharna we recognize VERY few matriarch
groups - exceptions are justified by established STORY LINES.
If you have a women ruled, armed women based group that is
not a tribe (panther, taluna or mamba) send us a NC with your
background and objectives. You NEED a story to Role Play here.
It's alright if you START one here! But have one.
