Lorien Trust

The Players Handbook (v3)
The Lorien Trust's official website

DO NOT assume you are in a unit because a) you feel like it or b) another member of the unit invited you. The people listed as contacts here are the only people in BLADES who have the authority to have you enter a unit. And they are not obliged to let you join the unit just for being a member of BLADES- we are not responsible for the national events in any way, other than by providing transport when possible.

Nothing is stopping you from either creating your own unit or from asking other, non-BLADES related groups if you can join them. Of course, this is all relevant only if you are planning on playing in the LT's system.

Note on factions:
There are 10 factions in the Lorien Trust game world. The majority of Bath LRPers are members of the Unicorns - originally a merchant faction, they have taken a more militant direction in recent years.

The Order and the Pen Cethren (which are pretty much run as one unit with two distinct sides) are the units we recommend BLADES members to join as they are made up of BLADES related people whom you will know out of character.

The Order is a lawful group consisting of humans and elves in the Unicorn Faction. Its members should be willing to accept orders, and respect those who outrank them.

Faction: Unicorns
Common races: Elves, humans
No: Urucks, Ologs, Kender, or anything chaotic

Contact: Ruth - ruth@mistelien.org

The Pen Cethren are a loose collection of loners with an affinity for nature. Members have a great deal of freedom- just don't hate trees...

Faction: Unicorns
Common races: Elves
No: Urucks, Ologs

The unit below originated with BLADES people, but has faded in recent years. It is included for completeness in case the above units really do not interest you.

NB: Of the units here, Pack Storm probably have the most stringent entry conditions.

A pack of wolfkin whose temperament varies with the weather. Gruff to the point of being rude, they are ferocious fighters who throw themselves into battle so freely that Unicorn healers are going grey early.

Faction: Unicorns
Race: Wolfkin
No: Anything else...
