Many thanks to all those - organisers, crew and players alike - who helped to make In the Name of the King a success.

We would particularly like to thank the extremely dedicated and helpful crew who who worked very hard to ensure that the players were suitably challenged.

Harts Of Albion Website

The Harts Of Albion website is an Out Of Character resource for players in the LT Roleplaying system. The faction is part of a Live Roleplaying system ... and since computers are not part of life for characters in Erdreja then accessing a website is obviously not something they can do In Character.

This website should provide all the information that you need to play a member of the Harts faction, and give information about forthcoming events.

It will also serve as a repositry of IC information - however it should be noted that no IC content will be made available on this website unless it has already been released to players at an event.

Contacting the Harts

Contact details for Harts command, plot team, web admin and similar are all available on the contact page.

Please remember that the Harts Of Albion is run by a group of volunteers who do this in their spare time. They will try to get back to you as soon as possible but please respect that they have other priorities.

Harts Players

The Harts Of Albion also have a e-mail group that they can use to inform you about any important information that you might need. You can join the Harts Players e-group here.

Recent IC Events

At the Moot held in Loch Arbour in Caledonia, the hosts make themselves unpopular with the Harts by barging through house tents looking for Vipers to murder.  A tense stand-off outside the House Mortimer tent is resolved without bloodshed.  Lady Corona Corvinae leads an embassy to all camps looking to forge an alliance against the Akari.  Like the Fayre, great winds force the Harts to break camp early, so very few are on the field to aid the Bears in the defeat of a great Goblinoid horde.

The Vipers host a moot in Trieste, for the Harts, Lions, Wolves and Unicorns.  The faction send a group to Silverlake, where they unearth a silvered coffin containing ancient remains, which once opened affects all close to it with a magical sleep.  The contents are taken away to resolve the problems of the Fae at Silverlake.  A magical hourglass is delivered to Elizabeth Falcon, and later unliving from 'The Mistress' attempt to retrieve it.  A rite is written for the people to perform, and by order of the Lord Regent is to be performed weekly across Albion.  The Harts are visited by Honour, one of the Nishak demons, who states that their armies are cutting across country to attack the Akari.  A rite is carried out dedicating eight ladies of Albion protect the spirit of Excalibur, completing the return of the Kings sword to the land.
In the defence of their Allies, the Harts take the field against a demonic foe.  The Lord Regent scares his bodyguard by charging through the enemies lines with nothing but a pair of daggers.  He is retrieved alive and well, and the battle s won.

A group of Harts investigate the destruction of shrines to the Trinity in Cornwall.  With the help of the local beastkin tribe, the perpetrators are found to be a cult of Taranis protected by a unit of knights and summoning elementals through into the realm.  Although the enemies of Albion were vanquished it was at sore cost, including the Lord Provost Cal Poll.

The attackers of the circle at York are confirmed as the Akari, a faction from the continent of Telluria.  They are also confirmed as invaders of amongst others Rimini, Moscow and Obsidia.  A mission is led by the scouts guild to Obsidia, but is thrown back with heavy losses, including the Harts supporting the mission, although their colours are returned to the faction. 

Earl Corman Falcon is captured attempting to defend the Archers Guild leaders who were in Harts colours, and taken to York.  A spirit identifying herself as Orias took a mixed group of Harts from the Fayre to Albion, from where they returned with a renewed Excalibur, and a task to renew the spiritual guardianship of the sword. 

A new cathedral to The Trinity is dedicated in Milford to commemorate those murdered by The Conclave there a year previously. Three knightly orders are formed - The Order of the Pendragon, The Order of the Stag and The Order of the Crow - and around a dozen Harts pledge their lives in the service of the ancestors. Robert Mortimer of House Mortimer, Yuxuonomieii of House Bathroy and Solarian ap Galahad of the Spears of Lugh are named as the heads of the three orders and ritually inducted as paladins of their respective faiths.

Excalibur starts to react violently as if some external force is attempting to corrupt it. Despite the efforts of The Pendragon's followers it causes great harm to any who touch it and finally explodes; wreaking carnage amongst the assembled worshippers. The faction's incantors and ritualists insist that all is not lost, however their plan remains unclear.
