Thank you for the question!

Our Men at Arms and all branches are actually not fully locked to a specific number. The 20 player count is our "goal" for Alpha 2, but we certainly will encourage and strive for more!

All Branches are open and ready for recruits and each has "goals" we want to fill

Okay! This make much more sense.

I was thinking how you'd stay competitive in PvP if you limited yourself like this but this is cool. Thanks!

PVP is a cornerstone for us for sure! Competitively, we want to work on a core of our Army and build us up as we learn the game. RP is our primary concern, but the Men at Arms as a RP-PVP force will always work toward keeping a PVP edge as much as possible!

Greetings Ashes family and friends!

Today is a proud day for House Calderon. Today we officially announce our Website!!!
https://sites.google.com/view/novusgamingcommunity/house-calderon

The website is apart of the Novus Gaming Community, a Community created by myself, and the other leaders of House Calderon who are also leaders of our sister project for another MMO title. Here on this website, you can find deeper lore information, information on our 3 branches we call Paths; The Army, Magisterium, and Serfdom.

Speaking of which, we have made massive changes to the guild, and have now fleshed out the structure of the guild.

Guild Update

⚔️ - The Army, we now have a full makeup of how we want the Men at Arms to be employed. Which we will test come A2. A full disclosure of the Army chain of command and organization will be released shortly.

Knight and Vanguard will now have their prerequisits cleanly stated so players who join the Men at Arms can work toward that RP goal.

✨ - Magisterium now will enjoy a fully organized Chantry and the old Mage Section, has been renamed Essence Academy which will now break down exactly how HC magic users will train, develop, and explore their power in the Essence on Verra.

Chantry will also have defined organization, and how you join, and develop a character in the religious faith of the House.

House Staff has been renamed. Now 🏰 - Serfdom. Expanding the concept beyond just those tied to the Calderon Family, Serfdom will explore two avenues of Arsitian and Social RPiers.

The old Advisors and Workers sections are replaced with the new single House Staff Section. These RPiers will be those who directly RP with and support Calderon Family RP. Our cooks, servants, and more will fill out this section.

Commoners has been made into Citizens to explore a new concept for the guild. A system I invented called The Patron system this system will be core to Citizens, but also expand beyond it, and the Serfdom branch, allowing players in our guild to freely grow, develop their characters, and build a lasting legacy that we can share together. Encouragement for individuals to build businesses, homes, families, and more under the watchful guidance and protection of the Calderon Family and House.

Speaking on the new Patron System we have provided a little google slides power point to review how we will be dealing with social hierarchy of the guild. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1a7IjurIY-hHB9dF2teLazFEOBLVVBvQ61zQ1paZqsiM/edit?usp=sharing

House Calderon is becoming larger, more ambitious, and we slowly are getting members. We need *YOU* to make our dream of a noble house complete. We are aiming to be ambitious, and a great house that will be remembered in RP and across the world of Verra. Join us today, and join the movement as we come ever closer to Ashes of Creation.

Jericho_Official

Greetings fellow adventurers,

I am Jericho, elder brother of Lord Riji, scholar of the Essence. I am pleased to announce that House Calderon has received even more new members over the last month! Our guild is focused on a great many things. My branch, the Magisterium, focuses on magical research and exploration of that research in the field. We take pride in our scholarship.

As a scholar of the Essence, I have dedicated my life to the study of magical energies and their properties. Through my research, I have developed a deep understanding of the mysteries of the universe, and I am excited to share my knowledge with others.

In addition to my role as a leader in magical research, I also take pride in my leadership of our guild. We have recently revamped our structure, and are actively engaged in worldbuilding and roleplaying. We believe that telling stories together, playing games, and having fun is just as important as our scholarly pursuits.

We have fostered a healthy, safe community where everyone is welcome to express themselves and share their ideas. House Calderon is a place where you can explore your creativity, make new friends, and immerse yourself in the world of magic and adventure.

So, if you are interested in joining our guild of scholars, explorers, knights, servants, nobles, and common folk please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are always looking for new members who are passionate about magic, roleplaying, and having fun!

Will you aid in understanding powers once thought lost? Join House Calderon today!

Riji

House Calderon just hit 5 full members of our Army! Dedicated warriors to the art of war, ready and willing to PVP against the enemies of our House.

We are also happy to say we just had our latest Town Hall, discussing the Tower of Carphin and new info for Alpha 2. We discuss the guild in an open forum monthly basis, but also have constant and weekly game nights, RP sessions, and soon will begin table top nights.

House Calderon continually looks to grow, and go beyond! Join us in the RP community or make your mark!

Cruxx

"Who goes there!? Oh... it’s you. No, won't you come in? You’ve already barged in, might as well commit to the purpose of your visit, and pay no mind to the clutter. Managing an estate of this size is quite an undertaking and my late father certainly did me no such favors when it comes to balancing books.

If you’re looking for Dior Calderon, Castellan Lord Riji and the youngest of the Calderon Brothers, well you found him. But “Cruxx” will do just fine. Seems you’re here today with an invitation to join our esteemed guild, House Calderon.

As you may know, I manage the Staff, which is responsible for overseeing all the affairs at Salhaven, our massive estate on Sanctus. Running an estate of this size is no easy task, and we are always in need of skilled individuals to help us manage its day-to-day operations.

But it's not all work and no play here at House Calderon. As a member of our guild, you will have the opportunity to engage in all sorts of social roleplaying fun, from attending lavish parties and balls to interacting with the nobles of Sanctus. And of course, there is always intrigue and excitement to be had when working with the various factions and groups on our lands.

We are looking for a diverse group of individuals to join our ranks, each with their own unique set of skills and talents. Whether you are a skilled diplomat, a cunning socialite, a fierce warrior, or a master craftsman, there is a place for you here at House Calderon.

So, what are you waiting for? Join us today and help us build a better future for the people of Sanctus. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that House Calderon remains a force to be reckoned with for generations to come... I need someone to balance the books for me.
May Shol guide your path!"

Cruxx Calderon, Castellan of House Calderon

Greetings friends of Ashes of Creation!

House Calderon continues to strive for greatness as we steadily grow and expand our scope and set new goals for ourselves.

House Calderon accepting EU!
There have questions asked if House Calderon would ever accept EU members, and with our first official EU member today. We happily announce that yes, we will now be accepting EU members so long as you understand the majority of current leadership, are NA players. We will be following the server that the Ashes of Creation RP community goes to, so we aren't bound entirely by region.

New community games!

While we await Ashes of Creation. House Calderon is playing a variety of games. A Barotrauma campaign has begun hosted by our High Priestess. Lord Calderon himself will be hosting an Ark: Survival Evolved server. And we have fun party games hosted by Knight Galvyr.

House Calderon excites about Mages!

Magic is a beautiful new concept with the mystery of the Essence. The House Calderon Essence Academy plans to tackle the great challenge of the Essence and dive deeper into interactive character development. We are looking for players who want a unique take on how magic will be utilized and help us discover how magic can be used to the benefit of the House.

Join us at House Calderon today. Tell your story. Share in the experience. The realm needs us, and House Calderon will answer!

Riji

Greetings glorious Ashes of Creation community!

House Calderon would like to welcome May and the approach of Summer with a few announcements!

Men-At-Arms forms first formation

The arrival of a new member has allowed House Calderon to create our first fighting unit. A Section! The Men-At-Arms of our Army operate both IC and OOC in units that we plan to deploy in various sized formations. We have now grown enough to form the first unit, and soon a larger formation will take shape as we continue to grow organically overtime. We are looking to form a Cohort (8 players) through the summer!

We are hoping to find those who are looking for a Military and Guard style RP, going on frequent patrols around our home node, upholding the law of the realm, and working together in units and teams.

The Men-At-Arms needs every able body for the fight ahead, as we aim to bring a balance of quality RP character development, with the drive and focus of honing skill for PVP and PVE content.

The Magisterium Expands

The new Mage archetype showcase has certainly brought forth an intrigue in magic. We have gained a new student of the Essence Academy, and a new acolyte of the Chantry. Both orders of the guild branch Magisterium focus on the pursuit of the Essence, but both differ in their goals. The Essence Academy is seeking new students and scholars in the pursuit of knowledge and magic. New wizards, mages, witches, and warlocks to be trained once we arrive to Verra. The Chantry on the other hand, is House Calderon's extension of the Church of the Seven. The Chantry seeks new Acolytes to become Priests and Priestesses to the divine Gods and Goddesses to which we owe all.

If either pursuit interests you, join our Magisterium branch and seek out a deeper RP in the Essence.

Expanded Discord RP

The growing numbers of House Calderon demands RP space. We have not committed to a single MMO to play, with different players joining to play various games such as ESO, BDO, FFXIV, and more. However, we have a dedicated Discord RP space that is about to grow!

The current House Calderon narrative is centered on our Sanctus story, a sort of prequel to our time in game, on Verra. We have multiple forums and channels,dedicated to this effort, with a new addition of various settlements, social spaces, and more open for RP. We have also about to start an Underrealm RP section which takes place on Verra for our Tulnar characters, who sadly cannot be with us in the main Sanctus story. This side story will allow our Tulnar characters to get to know one another and build up events to the meeting of our characters once we reach Verra in game.

House Calderon's Sanctus Story Update

Narrative:

It is the 1st Year after the death of the liege lord, Lethelos Calderon in the lands known as the Cauldron on Sanctus. The region is marred by division, increased banditry, and disorder. Lethelos left in his wake a land in disarray, with his eldest son taking a vow to the gods and a pursuit of knowledge, the Calderon lordship fell to middle son; Riji Decimus. Taking up the family sword; Drakefang, the new Lord struggles to repay debts, old oaths, and bring together a fractured land. Slowly, new soldiers, servants, and students of faith rally to the banner of House Calderon. A war in the neighboring County calls the House to rally. Dangers in the Serngrove, the nearby forest, require constant watch. Now, whispers of greater threats around the nearby Lake stir the local citizenry to panic. The time grows near for House Calderon to make its move, and return its family to its rightful status. The land of the Cauldron must be brought to order.

Join House Calderon today, and join our growing narrative! Branches that need every kind of player, dedicated to long lasting community and character development. Stories that carry weight, and characters that you can depend on. House Calderon needs you!

Riji

Greetings Ashes of Creation community! A Happy belated Mother's Day to all whom celebrated this past Sunday, and we are now mid way through the month of May!

House Calderon continues to strive for excellence as we build up our story line, have frequent gaming sessions, and develop our characters for Ashes of Creation.

Food and Steel

We are happy to announce a change to House Calderon's focus and declare that House Calderon will focus as a guild on two specific trades: Agriculture and Blacksmithing. A majority of members are interested in Farming, Animal Husbandry, and Blacksmith Artisan classes for Ashes of Creation, thus we felt it only fair that we create a RP background that will encourage this. House Calderon will focus very deeply in the growing of food with rich farmland, livestock, taming and mining/processing of metal in family Smithies.

For backstory, House Calderon like our sigil, focused back in old Verra on taming winged beasts with a proud warrior history. During the war seasons, we traditionally prepare for great battles. However, during times of peace and harvest, our warriors will return to their lands and plant crops, raise animals, and hone the tools of war back home. We feel it is important to not only fuel this corner of our eventual server economy, but have a strong RP backstory that we can support through our continued RP.

Building Community

House Calderon isn't just looking for Soldiers for our Army, or future scholars and mages. We are looking for residents. Players looking to settle our land and unite under a common banner. This is taking shape today in Discord RP, as we build settlements and stories that shape our community in Sanctus that will eventually transfer to Verra come game. Above is the Village of Runswick, a common starting place for our Serfdom characters seeking a home for their start in our narrative.

Alt Characters

We have recently discussed our "Alt Character" policy, which we are keeping purposefully very vague. When you apply for House Calderon, you do as your main character. However, you're not restricted to just the main when you RP with us. Freely create alternative characters to express your writing and abilities in the guild. Future restrictions may be in place to allow Mains the priority of advancement in the narrative.

We hope you will take a chance to check us out at House Calderon. We are always looking for new members, and new friends as we continually prepare for game. Many of our players are playing daily, if not weekly different games. Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft are currently the big MMOs, while games like Overwatch and Barotrauma are a fan favorites.

House Calderon needs you!

Riji

Good tidings Ashes of Creation community!

The last week has been one of great change and activity for House Calderon. We've had a resurgence of activity with all our members taking part in guild polls, discussion, and ultimately making several big decisions that have altered our course. Let's get right into it!

Choosing a Game

House Calderon will soon be getting into a dedicated game where we will RP in. Our Discord RP is still a very committed endeavor with large amounts of posts daily across multiple channels. However, after a recent poll, the desire of our membership to play a game and RP within has become clear. HC Leadership is extremely transparent, so we put the choice in our members. We will have results of this out soon!

Game Night Expands!

House Calderon had done one dedicated Game Night, but this has expanded due to major popularity! Game Night is a time for us to be social, hang out in social, and just get to know our membership. Last week we played Among Us and it was a big hit!

House Calderon's Sanctus Story Update

Narrative:
"Days have passed, as patrols were sent across the Land of the Cauldron to seek out bandits threatening the Village of Runswick. Returning to the Calderon Estate of Salhaven; Dasyra Calderon, half sister of Lord Riji Calderon, returns badly wounded with Ser Galvyr Goldengreen as her escort. A flurry of shock rises across the entire manor as the Calderon Family is recalled home, and riders sent to the remaining patrols. House Calderon's Castellan, 3rd Son; Cruxx Dior Calderon declares Salhaven to be locked down and the Men at Arms called up to respond. Healer Rex Tais begins to tend to Dasyra, as the Lord Commander; Alenduil Calderon, leader of House Calderon's Army returns home to the maddness. Lord Riji himself orders the remaining family members to be sought, and specifically asks for his Knight Commander, his youngest half brother; Ser Arontinir Calderon to be found to assemble a force to hit back at the enemy who appears to be another noble house to the east. Butler Mars and Staff of the House hurry to prepare for the assembled family, and the coming choice... Will it be peace, or will it be war?"

Do not miss the next exciting chapters of our story, both on discord and in the game we will soon be choosing!

Riji

Greetings members of the Ashes of Creation community!

Welcome to Summer and Happy Pride Month. House Calderon has been working hard to welcome the summer season with an array of new initiatives.

Welcome to Conan Exiles - Sanctus RP

House Calderon spent the last weeks voting, and we have a winner. Seeking a game to Roleplay in, House Calderon membership overwhelmingly approved of playing Conan Exiles! One of our members being a long time server host and specialist in creating Conan Exiles RP servers, we are now in the process of a private server dedicated to our RP! No longer will our story be confined to only Discord RP, we will be building out a map to tell our story in Sanctus! The Server will be under construction for a time, but we're excited for the possibilities of a game to RP in.

MMO Adventures and Dedicated Gaming

House Calderon isn't only playing Conan Exiles. We have now dedicated to two MMOs and several games we now have a dedicated base of players in.

Black Desert Online and Elder Scrolls Online are the MMOs of choice, as we play together to practice PVP and questing content. Both games are getting big expansion level updates this month, and we're excited to play together! For more casual play, we now have a dedicated Overwatch 2 team and a weekly session playing Barotrauma on Fridays!

House Calderon gets pumped for Raids!

Did you enjoy the last dev stream? We sure did! The Cyclops World Boss got the guild amped for a good time! We will be meeting soon to fully discuss the stream and last month in our bi-monthly meetings. News is coming out that Alpha 2 keys may soon become limited, and we want to let the community know that if you still are looking for keys. We have members who do have avaiable A2 and Beta 1 & 2 keys.

More to come as we build up, and strive to expand the guild further. The Fire Rises!

Riji

Great greetings Ashes of Creation community!

Happy Anniversary to House Calderon as we officially celebrate 1 full year on the road to Ashes of Creation. This year has been a slow march forward. The goals of House Calderon were to get our base and foundation firm, and build something up for the hopeful game to come. We have a roster of 25 players now committed to the effort and dream that is House Calderon, with a few more still waiting for news of Alpha 2. We have a dedicated place in the Ashes Roleplay Community with 2 of our own becoming Moderators, helping build the ever expansive world that is Ashes RP. We have made friends along the way with a list of ambassadors from other guilds, and even committed to some new allies we hope to share experiences with come game. The road to Ashes of Creation is a long one, but the guilds vision has never been better and we strive for excellence as we continue to grow!

Now, for some updates!

25 Players hit!

We are happy to announce we now have 25 active players in House Calderon. A large portion of these members come from our Army and Serfdom branches, with a steadily growing Magisterium branch. Transparency for us is very key in these early days, and we hope news of our steady growth will encourage others to come join while many of our branches and sections are still young, with plenty of room for growth, player involvement, and character development.

Conan Exiles Server Underway

The guild server for Conan Exiles is officially being worked on, with our dedicated host and builder Praecia giving us all in leadership a crash course in how to best build out a world we can use to RP Sanctus as we wait for Ashes of Creation. Below is a little teaser of of the Calderon family estate - "Salhaven" in Conan Exiles!

A New Chantry

Religious RP is a tough niche to fill. The guild section under the Magisterium known as The Chantry, offers a way for players to join a group dedicated to The Seven; the gods/goddesses of Verra to help guide the guild through religious rites, ceremonies, and other necessities of day to day life for our House. The Chantry scope however, is expanding, with it taking on ever larger role of a force against the Corruption and the more "evil" creatures we expect to see in Verra. Thanks to the Tower of Carphin back in March, we can fully see the need of a force that is able to push back against the evil plaguing Verra. More to come on this expansion of the Chantry, however, Priests and devout followers of the Seven are always welcome!

We cannot wait to show what we have in store and are planning, and we welcome all our friends to join us in the adventures to be had. All branches are seeking membership! The Army needs manpower to fight in the many Guild/Node Wars to come. The Magisterium must answer the gods and the call of the Essence. The Serfdom branch needs Citizens and individuals looking to build our society and grow the House through resource gathering, crafting, and more.

Join today!

Riji

Greetings Ashes community!

Today was a very big day for House Calderon. The devs have blessed us with a showing of the Freehold system! Freeholds for House Calderon are an important piece of our guild, as we have a detailed internal thought process to land ownership.

Individuals who pledge to House Calderon, like most guilds, will have use of Freeholds under our banner. However, we have additional perks that some RP guilds may not have:

Protection from Raiders/Bandits (PVP attacks) on your Freehold. As a RP-PvX guild, one of our greatest assets is our PVP Force. The entire Army of House Calderon is PVP enabled with intent on protecting our territory and the node we call home. That means corrupted players and those who choose a bandit path, will be killed on sight if found attacking our nodes or our neighbors nodes.
Guild Freehold Projects. The Freehold for us, isn't just a personal investment. It is a piece of Calderon holdings and the greater domain of House Calderon. All players, their families, businesses, and property within a Freehold of the House Calderon flag will work together. Building upon each other to provide a stream of resources, processes, and aid in upgrades.
Freehold Sharing. Freeholds under House Calderon from the Calderon Family, our officers, and individuals who agree to be our vassal houses shall be open to our members for use. Allowing individuals to find safety in numbers, and be together for game mechanics, and RP!

We have also witnessed the first A2 visuals of life on the Freehold. We want to take this time to point to our Serfdom branch. Serfdom or simply to be a Serf by google definition is: "an agricultural laborer bound under the feudal system to work on their lord's estate". Inside this branch, you become a Citizen under House Calderon.

Our intent is for our Serfdom players to live either among/around the Calderon Family, or on their own Freeholds (or if housing is found, living in Node Housing). These Citizens will get all the benefits and privileges afforded to them under the protection of the Calderon family. The RP mechanics for this, is that by agreeing to join us as a simple citizen there is an exchange:

As a citizen under House Calderon you:
-Work on our Freeholds or the surrounding land. Gathering resources, processing them, and crafting. (Artisian)
-Host a business in Calderon Freeholds or in the Calderon home node.
-Be part of the citizen assembly which works with the Calderon Family to govern the Freeholds and lands around us
-Work with our neighbors in the home node, and surrounding Freeholds.
-Be a friendly, community driven individually

As a citizen under House Calderon you are given:
-Full protection under our Army (PVP enabled players)
-Full research and resource assistance (Exp and other help)
-Religious services from the Chantry (A section of our Essence branch)
-A Place to live (Housing or a place to bed down for Rest Exp and RP)
-A Community

The synergy between the Army (PVP), the Magisterium (Essence support), and Serfdom (PVE/Artisian) is huge. It is central to House Calderon as a guild. Join us today, and become part of the adventure as we make our mark in Verra.

Riji

Greetings Ashes of Creation friends!

The month of July is passing us by, and we're excited to share with you some new additions to House Calderon.

New Guild Standards

Player vs Player to our core

The first exciting bit is the guild leadership had a meeting after the recent game development update, going over a few changes to the core of the guild. First, we changed our recruitment stance by making it very clear of our PVP stance. We want to make it pubicly clear that House Calderon is ready and willing to play Ashes of Creation the way it is intended to be played. Thus, we have spoken with our membership to make this fact well known. The House Calderon Army was already a branch that was "forced" PVP enabled. That means for every soldier we have, they must be willing to PVP. Now, we take it a step further, to ensure the protection of our people, all guild members must be ready to defend themselves.

Change of Goals

The goals of the guild have also changed. We used to aim to own larger swaths of land, previously being under the impression that Freeholds were much more accessible then they're now being planned. Our Citizen sub section under our Serfdom branch has been especially hit with the realization that not all our Citizen players, who wished to RP and cut out a life for themselves, will be unable to do so alone. Now, we have closed focus by creating a new set of goals.
-Obtaining 2-3 Freeholds as Calderon lands.
-Sponsoring guild members on these lands to live, farm, process, and get the best out of them possible
-Defend the Freeholds with a standing Army that will patrol and station themselves in a garrison on the Freehold

This vast change to the way we intended to play, links up with the new realization of Freeholds, and enables our Serfdom branch and Army branch to play closer together. One branch building and living on the Freehold. One branch meant to protect those living on it.

Branch Changes

Along with the news, we have changed somethings to our 3 branches and their sub sections.
The Army - The Army's Men at Arms, our primary military force, was already PVP enabled. However, their mission statement has changed. Previously, this force would RP on their down time, train, and be deployed as needed by the House. Now, due to the lack of safety on the Freehold. The Men at Arms will be asked to grow and station troops to defend our non-combatives who want to focus on Artisian classes and skills. The goal is to have PVP capable troops, living among citizens for protection.

The Magisterium - Our Essence Academy, the magic academia where our arcane adept players focus on the magical arts, lore, and history of verra is growing! Now with their own group, the Essence Academy will begin to write and world build how the Academy will establish itself! We are seeking individuals who live for magical RP! Join up, and be part of the grand awakening of magic in House Calderon!

The Serfdom - The Freehold update took our Citizen sub branch by storm, as many Citizen players had hopes for farms and villas. Instead of private individual owned lands, House Calderon is moving to a communal system where Freeholds will be shared among our Citizen players. Specific land owners will be awarded leadership of other citizens, and a new sub governmental structure is being created as we learn more about the systems. The aim is to share the space and build a rural life together under the watchful gaze of the Calderons.

Riji

Greetings once again Ashes of Creation!

Summer is paving its way, and as many members return from the rigors of life changes, summer vacation, and more. House Calderon has a ton in store to prepare for the coming changes!

House Calderon joins an Alliance

We at House Calderon are excited to announce that we have partnered with 3 other guilds to form a new Alliance. A Faction that we intend to build slowly into the future of Ashes of Creation. I present: The Koveran Republic

Based on principles all our guilds share. We have formed this Republic in the hopes of creating a RP friendly space, and a competitive faction for Node/Guild Wars. A government with elected officials and plenty of room for growth. The Koveran Republic is young and makes up the guilds Luminary Consortium, Four Fathers, and Hunter's Moon.

Introducing: House Calderon - Sanctus RP Conan Exiles

Our Conan Exiles project is finally nearing its completion as we put the finishing touches on our build and server! Mods are finalized, and we're excited to share it with our membership and friends. The Conan Exiles server for us will host the amazing adventures previously spent on discord, into a game. Bringing our Sanctus RP to the 3D world.

We are using the unique map of Savage Wilds and plan to create a space for all the branches of the guild. Take a glimpse of the House Calderon estate - Salhaven, below!

Three MMOs to Rule them All

It is no surprise that in the wait for Ashes of Creation, players get conflicted. Every player has their game that they're spending time in waiting for Ashes, and we've already spoken about two MMOs we play: Black Desert Online (BDO) and Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). Guilds for both games are to be formed soon, as we elect individuals who want to host content on either/or. However, a third MMO is making is appearance as we work with our allies in the Koveran Republic to play a game together to work on alliance gameplay. Archeage Classic releasing this August. If any of these 3 games is your current MMO to enjoy while awaiting Ashes, we welcome you to join us!

A great deal of new content is coming for HC as we approach the end of the summer into the Fall months. We hope you will join us as we build our House, and the Koveran Republic!

Riji

Greetings Ashes of Creation community.

Today is a big day for House Calderon. Today, is a day of change. A day of union. A day of great advancement for the House Calderon guild, and our little community. The guild welcomes a large group to the guild in the form of a Guild Merger.

The guild: Hunter’s Moon, our ally, and a founding guild of The Koveran Republic, had decided to join House Calderon for a more united guild. The decision was made by the leader of HM, Mavi, regarding the merger, bringing them under the House Calderon banner as a Patron Family.

House Calderon welcome Hunter’s Moon as a patron family, and will soon be renamed into their own vassal house under the Calderon family. Their members are now House Calderon members, and Mavi is henceforth named “Lord Mavi”. Riji, now having a vassal, is henceforth named the title of Baron.

A letter from House Calderon’s leader, Riji, reads:

“I am profoundly happy and welcoming to the members of Hunter’s Moon as they join House Calderon. I pledge my support to the many players who are joining, their character designs, and the stories they wish to tell. Mavi has become our first Vassal Lord, and with him, his family in the reformed Hunter’s Moon; who will soon share a common family name. I ask all questions be directed to me henceforth.”

-Riji Decimus Calderon

House Calderon is now over 35 members strong, with the addition of the Hunter’s Moon family. The bonds we share will continue to grow. The House Calderon Patron system allows for smaller groups of friends to join us in the form of a Vassal Family. A Family will be given opportunity to:
-Govern their own RP
-Participate in all the guilds branches
-Become part of the noble hierarchy of House Calderon
-Unified member pool for game content and future gaming

A new era rises for House Calderon. Unity is strength! The Fire Rises!

Greetings everyone of Ashes of Creation! House Calderon with more news!

The Patron System - Families of House Calderon

Click for Family information and the Patron system

House Calderon continues to grow as we exceed our hopes with the addition of Hunter's Moon. Renamed now: The Ithil Family, this group has become the first Minor House under the primary House that is The Calderon Family. Nobility RP is very important to the structure of the guild as we aim to build a society within our alliance and nation: The Koveran Republic.

Families are important inside Ashes of Creation itself as we understand them. A Family will be able to work together to hold land (Freeholds), form businesses, live together, and build community. It is that reason that House Calderon invites any groups who wish to join the overall guild; agree to our rules and guidelines, and offer their allegiance may join the guild as their own family. There are only so many true Minor Houses we will allot at the pre-launch, so if you aim to do so, early is better!

Requirements for groups to join:
-You must be bringing a group (Family) with intention of participating and RPing a Minor House of House Calderon.
-You will become a branch family of the Calderons, bounding you to us by oath.
-You will have independence to produce the RP you wish, the goals you wish, and the property you wish. So long as you follow the direction of the overall guild, and focus on the betterment of the guild, and Koveran Republic.
-A Family must join with at least 5: 1 Head of Household who will be named a Patron, and 4 Family members.

Not all families need share nobility ties. Eventually, once Minor Houses are filled, we will begin to ask for Gentry and Commoner positions to be filled. Families will still be given the same opportunities and privileges, however they will lack IC authority and OOCly they will lose out on guild priority to be given land (Freeholds). Minor Houses and the Main House of the Calderon Family will take priority in pushing for lands and property. Gentry and Commoner Families will be able to work, live, and RP on Minor House land (Freeholds).

Conan Server release date

We at House Calderon are happy to announce our Conan server will be open to our members Aug 12th, and we will begin planning RP events within. Members will be given areas to build and we will build up our lore from Sanctus prior to game. More to come!

Baldur's Gate 3 takes the guild by storm!

BG3 has become the #1 hit game across House Calderon, with almost half of our playerbase playing a solo or co-op campaign. It's a huge talking point, and something we all commonly share. If you're a big BG3 player, you'll find a guild well at home as we discuss and show pictures of our time playing.

House Calderon continues to grow. Seeking new members, new families, and new opportunities wherever they present ourselves. Our Army grows, the House grows. The fire rises!

The Men at Arms of the Army, needs all the soldiers it can get. We are currently at a full Cohort, but desire to stand up a Regiment before too long. A larger Army, means more opportunities.
