## **History**

The first true ruler of the Avari was **BDduece** (although some would argue that it was **SpeedySC**). He founded the faction in July 27th 2015, and recruited players like **theaaminecrafter** and **Julianroma**, getting the faction to a height of seven players. He chose to leave to Mordor, however, leaving **theaaminecrafter** as leader in around September 15th 2015. He joined the Mallorn Council but what was left from BD quickly crumbled until **Aventuras** refounded the Avari in around February 18th 2016. During this period the Avari's capital was at Old Elven Way and they ruled their eastern territories from absentia. During this time Aventuras defeated a coup launched by **supernick8** in a 1v1 battle. The Mallorn Council refused to allow the Avari to rejoin, however.

**Aduialion** declared himself leader in late April 2017 due to the absence of **Aventuras**, but he returned days later and took back the crown. **Aventuras** had the Avari join the Khaganate, which was dominated by the Easterlings in order to consolidate his power on August 2nd 2017, but on October 25th of the same year was ousted in a coup by **supernick8** and **Tuilindir**. The pair then left the Khaganate.

These two leaders soon went inactive, and **Aduialion** and **Aventuras** launched a coup against them. They were swiftly overthrown and **Aventuras** was crowned on February 3rd 2018. His third reign lasted until March 19th 2018, when he abdicated in favor of **NinjaCreeper.** His reign was the shortest in Avarin history, with him being deposed on March 22nd by **Zakeris\_The\_Kind** after a 3v3 PvP battle. **Zakeris** ruled until August 3rd when he grew weary of leadership and named **Morwe\_Haldkan** King.

On August 5th 2018, a former Avari player named **Ghastly\_Bespoke**, who was now in Dale, told **Morwe\_Haldkan** that he had to abdicate for him or face a Dalish invasion. **Morwe**, who knew he could not face the might of Dale, at the time the strongest faction on the server, abdicated for him, but learned a day later that it had been a lie. On his command, **Ghastly** was swiftly overthrown and he returned to take control.

On December 20th 2019, a group of seven Avari players led by **supernick8**, **GoldenRobot**, and **Zakeris\_The\_Kind** attempted to overthrow **Morwe.** A brief period of skirmishing broke out but they failed to receive outside support and were forced to flee. As a result of the conflict, many Avar went inactive, leading to **smallEPICplayer** being declared King on May 11th 2020.

In April 2023, the Wood Elves of Mirkwood requested aid in their war against Dunland and Gundabad and the Avari joined their war. Led by **Arodas**, **Shadowmaster10** and **smallEPICplayer**, the elvish factions emerged victorious.

## Lands

### **Rhun**

The Lands of the Kingdom

The vast plains of Eastern Palisor, were initially left alone by the elves, however, after various Wainrider and Easterling expeditions, the Kindi and Penni Elves rebuked, driving out many clansmen, even taking a vital keep of the Wainriders, Balcharas.

### **The Wild Wood**

The heart of the Avari, a dense and lush forest, full of wildlife. In the Third Age, a few cities were constructed and populated, which include Mar-Tuilenda, Daure-Mir'ilosse, Kargul and Arta Ilma. The Eastern Forests are mainly populated with the Cuind Avari, whereas the Western Forests are the domain of the Kinn-lai. Many smaller towns dot the map of the Wild Wood.

### **Taurelen**

An old forest that used to be connected to the Wild Wood. The forest is dense, wild and nearly impassable. They are populated by the Windan Avari, which are heavily connected to the forest. Taurelen, named "Star-Forest" because of how visible and bright the stars are when seen in the wood. Less advanced in civilisation, due to the Windan's very distrustful ways.

### **The Mountains of the Wind**

One of the oldest mountain range in Middle Earth, sparsely populated by the secretive Hisildi Avari. It is said that a ruined Iluin can be found somewhere in a hidden vale.

### **The Last Desert**

A Desert covering the north side of the might Mountains of the Wind. The Hwenti Avari are the only clan who have managed to enter its harsh conditions and thrive, having only a handful of known towns. It is rumoured that Great Worms dig their vast tunnels in these deserts.

### **Harunnor**

The vast subcontinent of plains south of the Mountains of the Wind and Taurelen. Due to its sheer size, it is extremely unpopulated, having only a few disconnected Hwenti cities along rivers and coastline.

**4.)** A member must have the 'Avari', 'Hunter' or 'Elf' title if he/she is Avari, but must have unlocked the Avari title, and have been to The Wild Wood.

**6.)** Important Avarin builds *must* be built in a somewhat Avarin style of building. Personal bases or little forts are an exception, in which the player has freedom in what blocks he uses.

**7.)** Killing Avari players with cold blood is considered Kin-slaying, and is not permitted unless it is an organised duel or shits and giggles. If out of cold blood, punishments will follow (can vary between banishment and being kicked from the faction).

**8.)** "MUH ISOLATION"
Basically we do not get involved in current affairs or wars, whatever. We stick to ourselves and do not leech off others for help and the such. Basically we are what the rule says - isolated.

## Joining the Avari

**100 Dorwinion Alignment -** This may be acquired by killing orcs at the Dorwinion Crossroads, or doing mini-quests for Dorwinion NPCS.

**Reach the Balcharas build or Rhȗn Forest -** This does not take much time - all it requires is that you make it to the Rhun biome and fast travel to Balcharas, and follow the shared waypoint to the build.

## Ranks

**King of the Avari, Lord of the Seven Stars -** The official leader of the faction, representing the kingdom internationally. To start a faction build, to pass a law, to promote someone, to open diplomacy with a foreign faction and to recruit a new player, the King must be informed and has the final say on these matters. The King has a responsibility to see to all the faction and it’s member’s needs, to keep the faction active, to keep the faction safe and to keep the faction constructing on projects. The current King of the Avari is smallEPICplayer.

**Káno (Chieftains) -** These people are in charge of a collection of clans based off geography. These people also have their own individual clan, but represent the other clans within their group (e.g Rhunaerim, consists of Penni and Kindi, Peern is their Chieftain, he is Kindi, but he also represents the Penni). The current Chieftains are HAJ2001, Peern and markdragonrunner.

**Kastea o Nosse (Heads of Clans) -** These people represents their individual clans, and serve under the chieftains. Members would only be promoted if they have benefited the clan in many ways. The current Heads of Clans are Tahis9, Hank\_Spankems and IamGibby\_.

**Kuna Artaure (Regional Chief) -** These people rule over individual builds instead of a head of clan or chieftain. Members would only be promoted if they committed a lot to said build.

**Warrior, Citizen, Artisan, Architect -** The everyday people of the Avari.
