Q and A

Vision

As the High Elder of War for The Conclave I, from the Blackwater bloodline, am sworn to protect the duchy as a whole. My county will be well defended, ideally with a river nearby, and will serve as a central transit hub for our entire army when needed. I also want the county to be a major influence on the production and research of all forms of projectile weapons.

Despite having a military focus, everyone is welcome to settle in Wicked Creek. Balance is the key guiding principle for the duchy; all walks of life are required to make any settlement work. I want everyone to feel like they have a role, a place, and a home in Wicked Creek, soldiers, bards and tailors alike. The Conclave is a collection of families, tribes and communities first; this is what our force strives to defend, even with our lives if necessary.

Lore

History of Clan Blackwater, leading up to the formation of Wicked Creek

The war against Vornair ended when the last of the invaders were pushed outside the kingdom’s borders. The Blackwater bloodline led The Conclave’s forces back home with the intention of stepping down and returning to a quiet, nomadic life as hunters. This proved to be impossible; they were too revered and loved by the tribes to live as they did before the war. The people wanted the Blackwaters to teach them in the ways of hunting and warfare so they would never again lose their homelands. They couldn’t refuse the tribes they had come to care for, so the Blackwater lineage officially vowed to watch over The Conclave, serving as High Elder of War from generation to generation.

The Conclave gifted the family with a large parcel of land – as much land as was needed to train and maintain an army. To the Blackwaters, it was only fair to manage what the family earned. They defined the borders of Wicked Creek as the beginning of the slow, methodical entrapment of the invaders against the river. The county would serve as far more than just a training ground; it would heal the land from the scars of war and benefit its residents economically and spiritually for generations, too.

County Leadership

As I will not have all the time in the world to manage an army, a county, and a city, I’ll be opening up a number of leadership positions to the community. There will be more specific information on county roles in the near future, but feel free to join my discord and message me if you are interested!

County Organizations

I welcome all associations, organizations, guilds and schools into Wicked Creek. As stated in my vision, I aim to place emphasis on researching and producing ranged weapons and siege machines. At the same time, I encourage all groups to reside here, including crafters, clergymen, and performers alike.
