Introduction
The Grand Order of the Lost Mathom are an active hobbit role-playing kinship. We aim to combine roleplay with a variety of events, story lines and activities whilst maintaining our commitment to exploring and questing both as a group and individually.
About Us
- Friendly & Approachable – we are an established small to middle sized kinship whose emphasis is on friendship, community and camaraderie. We deliberately keep our numbers manageable to ensure that we get to know everyone properly and this has numerous advantages in helping us build exceptional levels of loyalty and commitment. As such we place great importance on the quality of our members to ensure we maintain a mature and friendly attitude at all times.
- Actively role-playing – we are very active in promoting role-playing among our members and in the numerous events that we organise and contribute to. This is an important part of being in our kinship and helps us create additional depth and believability for our characters. Our flexible approach ensures that we can accommodate and support beginners as well as more experienced role-players. We adhere to the server rules concerning RP, with our kinship chat being a lively mix of mostly IC banter and OOC game discussions. We also use a server wide channel for hobbits (RP only).
- English Language – our core player base has been traditionally from the United Kingdom, but a good number now come from across europe and from many varied backgrounds. English remains our common language for all forms of communication.
- Casual Questing & Raiding – we enjoy a great variety of questing as well as both group and solo adventuring, often championing all hobbit groups in many instances. Some of our members also organise and lead RP adventures. We engage in larger scale raiding from time to time, but it is important to stress that we are not a hardcore raiding kinship. Advancement is very much at your own place.
- Regular Events & Activities – we promote and actively encourage many unique initiatives, such as the very popular Green Dragon Friday, held every week in Bywater. For those that enjoy a more active role we have a number of dedicated and resourceful kinship groups including a band (The Songburrow Strollers), historical society and acting troupe. Kinship meetings take place regularly on alternate Sundays in which we catch up on news and gossip as well as hearing tales and stories from new members. Discussions and plans are made on our own forum and website as well as in game using our kinship chat channel.
What we expect
- Active Players – we encourage all of our players to remain active, however we understand the importance of family life and busy schedules. We limit the number of alts in the kinship to ensure that the activity level remains as high as possible. Unless otherwise agreed in advance, long-term inactive players will be removed from the kinship.
- Role-playing – it is important that you have a desire to get involved with role-playing even at a basic level. Previous experience is useful, but should you be a little hesitant then we have a number of very experienced roleplayers and Tolkien enthusiasts that are willing to offer you advice or assistance.
- Mature & Helpful Attitude – we place great importance on the quality of our members to ensure we maintain a mature and friendly attitude at all times. You will find our members helpful and easy-going. We frown on the use of internet slang and leetspeak and reserve the right to do so.
