Quick Look

Hofborg is an outpost nestled at the feet of a remote temple situated northeast of Windhelm in Eastmarch. The town is home to the Saebjorn Crew, the Motherhouse, the Hammer of Atmora, and other Nord clans. The people of Hofborg are predominantly Nords and tend to be both suspicious and superstitious. Visitors to this locale should be prepared to prove themselves when challenged.

We strongly suggest you read the Expanded Fiction

However, we are not our characters! The players in our guild are welcoming, supportive and kind. Do us the courtesy of keeping IC and OOC separate. We do!

You are obligated to know the. Here is the short list for those of you in a hurry. But don't go rocking the longship without reading further.

• No OOC in local (say/yell/emote) or house zone. Exception: Quick "brb" or typo* corrections are acceptable. *Take the joking and arguing to whisper or your own group chats.
• We expect that everyone is familiar with common role-play etiquette and know not to do such things as; metagaming, forceful role-play aka godmodding, superman or mary sue role-play and negative thought emotes without representation. (All players have permission to respond to negative thought emotes, directed at them, as if they were spoken out loud.)
• Combat is essentially free-form but all return visitors (and players) are expected to have an OOC limits post in the Saebjorn Discord #ooc-limits channel. Combat dice rules are available for when "good sportsmanship" fails between players.
• No homophobic or transphobic role-play is allowed by visitors anywhere in the town.

Town Fiction

Nestled high above a thriving little sea port lies the Nord temple known as the Motherhouse. A regal structure dedicated to the Nord pantheon and medicinal arts -- the Motherhouse is a point of attraction for clergy, holy warriors, and healers.

The outpost known simply as Hofborg is currently under the guardianship of a sea-faring crew known as The Saebjorn. The Saebjorn crew has been given the responsibility of running the town which functions as a "somewhat shady" location on the outskirts of Eastmarch. Rumors have it that the Saebjorn crew is not as above board as the Pact higher ups would like, but so far they have garnered no charges of piracy, smuggling or kidnapping.

On the road leading into Hofborg is a wooded region known as the Spirit Wood which hosts a few homes and farms, as well as the Hammer of Atmora hall. The hall is home to a group of companions, a lawful good company of warriors who protect and defend the Skyrim ideal.

Laws

At the time of the Saebjorns arrival to Hofborg in the month of Frostfall, all prior laws were suspended. New laws will be determined as part of the town and crew's regular moot sessions. At this time there are no documented laws for the town of Hofborg but visitors should expect immediate reprisal for anything that breaks the bounds of hospitality -- this would include but is not limited to murder, theft, rape, kidnapping, damage to property and disrespect of the gods.

About

It is the intention of this community to provide an authentic Skyrim role-play experience. Nords, and those who live in Skyrim, are as varied as every other region in Tamriel. However we can make some general statements that the visitor to Hofborg should be prepared to expect.

• This is a 'prove yourself' culture where your actions speak louder than words. Don't expect the villagers to warm up to you after one, or even 6 visits.
• While most Nords will respect other people's right to worship their gods, including the Daedra gods of the Reach and the Orcs, they really do not like Daedra.
• Afflicted, including weres and vampires, are not welcome and may in fact be killed on sight.
• Non-standard races, especially monster races such as spriggans or goblins, are not likely to receive much welcome in town.
• The average Nord is likely to look down on, or even mock any visitor who is 'putting on airs', 'being a snob' or 'dressed too fancy', so when in Rome ....
• Never assume a Nord is okay with magic, they might be, but they might not be.
• Expect a fight. I could go on, but really ... expect a fight.
