Martial Association of Zeltiva
Times have changed, no longer is Zeltiva blessed with the golden age of easy and safe life for all. Nature, men, and gods themselves have proven a threat against the common man, and the common man has answered this mighty challenge with a rumbling in his stomach. A craving for understanding, and control. And so, he has taken to arms, and gathered upon the hill to learn and teach alike with his citizens.
The Martial Association of Zeltiva was founded in response to two pinocle events in recent Zeltivan history. The first was the disturbance of the Winter Ball in 511, which resulted in the near death of a citizen of Zeltiva. The situation required the public intervention of Rak'keli to preserve the innocent's life. The second event vastly out shadowed the first, shaking the foundations of Zeltiva itself. The storm of Spring 512 left the noble citizens of Zeltiva robbed of their previous illusions of safety. All believed that Zeltiva was a heaven from the world's horrors, but standing in the wake of the natural disaster many knew it was time to shed this shroud of ignorance, to take up not only steel in hand but also a new mentality. Never again would the Zeltivan citizen be caught off guard by their own ignorance.
A lone Zeltivan, new to the conflict, or lack there of, took to the streets with leafs of paper, posting a summons to each and every citizen of Zeltiva. Reading:
"Arm yourselves with skill, and a free mind.
Join the people who take hold of their own destiny.
The Exalted Storm Shrine. 19th. Midday.
-Trente Ostentatoire-Criard Eclatante, Equal Citizen of Zeltiva."
And so it was, dozens of people flocked to the first meeting, driven by their own desires to find control amongst the chaos.
Any citizen of Zeltiva may join the Association, no dues are collected, and no duties are required. Lessons in practically any martial form and weapon can be acquired for no compensation, and great respect is offered to those that would teach their own skills to the laymen among them. Many of the association have taken to learning a little of all martial skills, seeking a form of balance. This is to be expected from all Zeltivan citizens, they are an enlightened people and will treat all endeavors as such.
This is an effective way to raise any martial skill, teaching, and philosophy. As well as a great tool to keep one's ear out for the political movements of Zeltiva, and get to know their numerous neighbors who also care for the future of Zeltiva.
This thread will be the OOC side of the organization, to allow the mods of Zeltiva to easily track the progress and expansion of the organization. If your character is to join this association please post below with the date in which they sign up, keep in mind that until the end of Spring the initial thread (link above) is still open for sign ups. Along with the date you may add in any weapons requests. These weapons can be anything your character wishes to have, within reason, from style, to type, to engravings. The weapons will come at a slightly higher price than usual, due to going through a middle party, but there will be no hassle in acquiring the weapon, and it will be available to you upon the first thread you choose to teach or learn within the association. With these two should be a list of skills you are interested in learning, or in teaching, for this thread is as much an advertisement and hookup thread than anything else. Ontop of those requirements a donation can be given to the organization itself. These donations, as well as any donations of time, will be rewarded with SP much like city SP, though they will apply specifically to the Association's title hierarchy. Keep in mind that what you do reflects upon the association. Treat your responsibility well.
