Hail citizens of Sosoria …

The Wakayama Clan of the Siege Perilous shard invites you to partake in a night of roleplay, warfare, complete mayhem, and an overall fun time!

On Monday, November 21st there will be a special event on Siege Perilous … “The Reunification of the Clan” … The Wakayama Clan left their old to carve out a new empire in the dark terrain of Siege Perilous, in doing so they left their sister clan, the Yamamoto’s behind to continue to rule the old lands in their absence. However as time has passed and the Wakayama Clan has established themselves and created a Sovereign state it is time for the Yamamoto’s to join back with the Wakayama’s.

Read more for all the details...

Details:
a. People who wish to participate must create a character with an asian first name and the last name Yamamoto. The must create either a ninja or a samurai. New characters are fine – the fun will be in hopefully LARGE numbers of Yamamoto’s participating from many shards.
b. Once you have made your character you will be outfitted in gear with the Yamamoto mark … all ninja’s will be outfitted the same … all samurai will be outfitted the same … in the interest of keeping this event somewhat Tolkein-esque we ask that all Ninja’s be fencers and all samurai be swordsmen.
c. Anyone that wishes to prepare their character earlier and be outfitted this is both encouraged and appreciated – we will be gearing people/preparing for the event from 5pm EST day of the event – after 7:30PM there is no guarantee we can outfit you and get you to the initial starting point “the reunification ceremony” … you may create your character now if you wish.
d. The actual event itself will begin at 8pm EST … there will be some guilds officially invited to participate in the ceremony … there will be other guilds told of the event who are classic enemies of the Wakayama Clan … once actual battle starts we do not expect you to know who is friend or foe … if the person is green to you they are a friend … on siege everywhere is felucca so make sure you turn off your kill prompt – a number of you will go red (assuming those that die count you) which is part of the fun of this event.
e. All Yamamoto’s will be added to the YAMA guild – that way you will appear green to the WAKA’s

What to expect:
a. Some Roleplay initially during the ceremony part of the event – we will be marching everyone in and there will be a shard reporter recording the event – as well as emissaries from other prominent guilds on Siege that recognize the Wakayama Empire.
b. A number of enemies and those that do not recognize our Sovereign empire have heard of the event and will stop at nothing to ruin the ceremony – we expect Vampires, Werewolves, and some of the most heinous killers to come uninvited to our ceremony.
c. Fighting in many different locations as we seek to punish those who would attempt to bring embarrassment on our Empire … we know where our enemies lie and will seek invade their territories.
d. Chances are you will die – a lot – there is a chance you will be looted – while we will ask the combatants to not loot the Yamamoto’s this night in the interest of prolonged fun there are no guarantees … if a large number of people are looted we will regroup and reequip those who need it.
e. We will have a shared automap for the evening that all participants will be welcome to use (the chat function will be how we communicate across the various parties)

Places we will “visit” on siege that evening:

The initial ceremony location (which for now will be kept a secret)
Homare – the home of the Vampire Horde
Northern Yew (near Wispwood Shire) – the home of some enemies of the empire (REV and DkB)
The Waka Village
Iantown
Wintermoor
East Umbra (last stop) at the Yard – a pub/dueling arena where we will drink ale and celebrate our many victories or lick our wounds

Monday – November 21st
Event starts promptly at 8PM EST … all must be outfitted prior to 7:30 … you may do so starting now …
