The Throne of Ashes
Today we are introducing a new, fifth Thronekeeper position for Bloodloch: the Throne of Ashes. The holder of this position is not decided through the normal election process, but instead through PVP. The first to hold the position is Mjoll, as a prize for winning the Esterport Duel. Subsequent holders may challenge through combat as described below:
To contest for the position, you must do:
BATTLE <target
This sets up an automatic knockout duel in the Bloodloch arena, the winner of which will gain the right to challenge the current holder of the Throne of Ashes to their position.
- This costs the same 10k gold fee that normal contesting does.
- This will set up an entry on EVENTS for an automatic knockout duel in the Bloodloch Arena for the next Saturday at
23:00 GMT (one hour before howling).
* If the next Saturday 23:00 is less than 24 hours away, it'll be the following Saturday instead.
- The city can request from the patron to change the date/time as needed.
- Everybody that wants to participate in the duel and gain right of challenge MUST also do this command BEFORE the arena opens.
* Thronekeepers, of course, cannot participate.
* This includes the Thronekeeper of Ashes, since the duel is battling for the right to challenge them.
- There will be an entry on ELECTIONS you can view to see current signups. You cannot vote in this election, it's for viewing purposes only.
- At the appointed time, the arena will open for joining by the participants for 5 minutes before it automatically starts. If you miss this window of joining, you're disqualified.
- This command has the same soft/hard cooldowns that normal contesting does, refer to HELP ELECTIONS for that.
- The command also has the same restrictions for playtime that normal contesting does.
- Winner of the duel gains the right to challenge the Thronekeeper for their seat.
- If nobody else puts their name forward by the time the duel comes around, you will gain right to challenge the Thronekeeper by default.
The person that gains the right to challenge the Thronekeeper can:
CHALLENGE <target> FOR THRONEKEEPER
- This must be done with both of you standing at the Bloodloch Arena, like a normal duel.
- This is a best of three duel. You will respawn in the arena upon death with a grace time on your first death. i.e. first person to get two kills will take the Throne.
- This duel has the same effects that a knockout duel has. i.e. battle hunger and bloodlust effects if it goes on for too long.
- Your right to challenge expires after a real-life week. If no battle takes place then the winner will be manually decided by the city patron.
Penned by my hand on Quensday, the 10th of Midsummer, in the year 505 MA.
