If you wish to play a blooded regent (rather than an unblooded character), please make a post in here with the following: A link to your character sheet (remember, you'll need 1 unused trait point to claim the blooded trait), Your desired starting province, Your expected starting holdings based on your traits and other factors, (can be determined here: birthrightgold.freeforums.net/thread/25/character-generation), Whether you wish to be the ruler of your starting province or not (it will reduce the number of other holdings you start with), Which two types of holdings you wish to be focused on (this will modify your blooded trait. For starters, you will only receive artha from provinces you rule, and the two chosen holding types. Generally, you'll be picking related types (e.g. Courts & Manors), or at least one type of affiliation and property (e.g. Guilds & Manors), and only very rarely two affiliations or two properties (e.g. Courts & Guilds, or Manors and Trades). The name of your Domain (The collection of your assets and holdings, your organization, kingdom, etc... - each domain has 1 regent - no more!) The name of your Realm (Different from the original RoE, this refers to the collections of Domains, which may include 1 or more Domains/Regents. You are encouraged to join forces with other players to create coherent domains with multiple players that, largely, work together, but you can certainly operate independently as well)

Map: birthrightgold.freeforums.net/thread/40/lay-land-mapsAvailable provinces (Name - Race/Culture - Description): Humans of the NorthGododdin - Breton/Saxon - The descendants of the various military factions that journeyed north to fight the great evil, but never made it back. They've settled this province and spread their culture far and wide. Argyll - Scottish lowlands/ Dal Riatian - Bayardians pushed north by their conflicts with the elves and disagreements with the southern humans. They've adopted many of the mannerisms of their southern counterparts, but hold strong onto their own traditions as well. Ross - Scottish highlands / Dal Riatian - Bayardians who ventured further north, overpowering the Lothians. They have not adopted any of the mannerisms of their southern counterparts, but still hold close kinship with their brothers in Dál Riada (Lothian). Caithness - Lothians - Lothians who long ago fully embraced the temple of blood. They were first pushed back by the southern alliance, and later much further north by the Bayardians. They are now restricted to Alba, and largely regarded with distrust by most humans and sidhe for their role in weakening the veil. Generally regarded as evil, whether they still are or not. Umbria and the Sidhe:Aberdeen - Sidhe (Elf) - see below: Bernicia - Sidhe (Elf) - see below: The Sidhe of Albion remain under pressure. The once great forest of the Aelven King now only cover the most of 2 provinces. However, they have held onto these over the past 100 years, albeit they are but a shadow of their former selves. Dwarven Kingdom of DemaciaOrkney & Shetland (Dwarf) - see below: Hebrides (Dwarf) - see below: Once a great kingdom that covered Alba and Oalriada as well, the weakening of the veil brought great calamity to the dwarven lands. Their tunnels that once connected them variously collapsed, became infested with great monstrosities, or became derelict. Without aid from the shipbuilders of the south, the kingdom splintered and fragmented. The provinces of Alba and Oalriada were lost to the humans encroaching. Slowly, the dwarves have learned to be seafarers in their rough waters, but it is no easy task. Future Provinces:
Caithness may be split into Caithness and Sudrland Gododdin may be split into Aclud and Gododdin Bernicia may be split into Lothian (human) and Bernicia (sidhe) Orkney & Shetland may be split into separate provinces Hebrides may be split into Hebrides and the Isle of Skye Argyll may be split into Argyll and the isle of Bute Aberdeen and Ross do not have any predefined splits at this time. These are not necessarily the only splits that may occur, but they would occur first.

All holdings to be finalized on or after July 24th, to allow for other applicants to stake their claims and whatnot.
Crownguard/High Hall has preliminary approval.
The Orcades & Tristianity have preliminary approval - note that at present time, Orkney and Shetland are considered a single province, and either Njal or Alfhilda would be the regent of that particular combined province.

We are not regents as such, since we serve under the dwarven boy-king, who isn't at age to rule yet. We are therefor Earls of each island, "overruled" by Asbjørn, the stand-in and protector of the king

We are therefor Earls of each island, "overruled" by Asbjørn, the stand-in and protector of the king While I understand the English language claims otherwise, "Regents" in a Birthright context refers to the ruler of any single domain. So a merchant who runs a trading company is a regent, even though they rule no lands, and the same would be true for a bishop who operates several monasteries. The key difference between your run-of-the-mill wealthy merchant who could conceptually have holdings and a regent is that they are "Blooded", i.e. there is a tangible connection between the character and the holdings they own, beyond ownership. Hope that clears things up a bit!
