Welcome to the Lions faction website. This site is intended to provide relevant in character (IC) and out of character (OOC) information regarding the faction and its forthcoming events, as well as some generic background information for prospective new players. The faction's online booking system for its sanctioned events is at [bookings.lionsfaction.co.uk|http://bookings.lionsfaction.co.uk/]. If you need more information about the faction, or are interested in joining us at an event, please follow the link to our [forum|http://forums.lionsfaction.co.uk/] and sign up. 

The Gathering is a live action roleplaying (LRP) system in the UK run by the Lorien Trust (LT). The four main events attract hundreds (or in the case of the August bank holiday set piece, the Gathering, thousands) of players with hugely different costumes, backgrounds, races and attitudes. The Lions faction also typically runs two smaller events each year, catering for around 100 players. The LT system is set in the game world of Erdreja, a high fantasy world whose cultures can be approximately mapped onto various regions of historical earth.

The Lions faction is one of ten player "factions" currently active within the system. Each faction can generally be seen as drawing its background from one or more historical civilisations - in the case of the Lions, this was originally heavily Arthurian. More recently the faction has planted its roots in Roman and Greek influences, though there is no pressure on new players, characters or groups to rigidly exist within this genre. A guidebook for new players has been produced. [Download the PDF|http://www.lionsfaction.co.uk/var/upload/Lions_Guidebook.pdf].

!Lion Guard
The Lion guard are a military order dedicated to the service of the Lions Faction. Full-time soldiers rather than a feudal militia, we are best known for gate-guard duties. Our uniform is a black tabard with a gold lion (or green tabard with black lion for our light company). Many guardsmen choose to wear a wide-brimmed hat with a plume, but it is not compulsory. 

!Naval Volunteers 

!The One 

!Order of Celestial
The Order follows what is Good before all else. This means that they are often outspoken and occasionally come into (verbal) conflict with other groups over the fictional "necessary evil", but even their opponents have come to respect their integrity, commitment and sense of duty. 

!Order of Mithras
Followers of the Great ancestor Mithras. Warriors dedicated to defeating the hoards of demonspawn and corruption that blights our world. We fight with truth, justice and Mithras on our side. Let us be judged by our acts.   


!Order of Nemesis
Made up of the remaining faithful warriors to the ancestor Nemesis, the Order first arrived at the Gathering of Nations 1103. Soon afterwards, they were adopted into the Prince Bishop's Men as Crimson Lance and have grown enormously in strength and numbers. They enforce the law in the spirit rather than the letter but hold retribution above all else. 

!The Prince Bishop's Men
The Prince Bishop's Men are one of the oldest and most distinctive military units in the Lions. Making up the majority of the Veterans Legion, their blue and gold tabards and shields are unmissable on the battlefield, and they flourish under the leadership of Prince Bishop Ivory Du Bois. The military of the Prince Bishop's Men protect a significant civilian population within the group's lands, known as The Palatinate.

More recently the faction has planted its roots in Roman and Greek influences, though there is no pressure on new players, characters or groups to rigidly exist within this genre.

!Lion Guard
The Lion guard are a military order dedicated to the service of the Lions Faction. Full-time soldiers rather than a feudal militia, we are best known for gate-guard duties. Our uniform is a black tabard with a gold lion (or green tabard with black lion for our light company). Many guardsmen choose to wear a wide-brimmed hat with a plume, but it is not compulsory. 

!Naval Volunteers 

!The One 

!Order of Celestial
The Order follows what is Good before all else. This means that they are often outspoken and occasionally come into verbal conflict with other groups over the fictional "necessary evil", but even their opponents have come to respect their integrity, commitment and sense of duty. 

!Order of Nemesis
Made up of the remaining faithful warriors to the ancestor Nemesis, the Order first arrived at the Gathering of Nations 1103. Soon afterwards, they were adopted into the Prince Bishop's Men as Crimson Lance and have grown enormously in strength and numbers. They enforce the law in the spirit rather than the letter but hold retribution above all else. 

!The Prince Bishop's Men
The Prince Bishop's Men are one of the oldest and most distinctive military units in the Lions. Making up the majority of the Veterans Legion, their blue and gold tabards and shields are unmissable on the battlefield, and they flourish under the leadership of Prince Bishop Ivory Du Bois. The military of the Prince Bishop's Men protect a significant civilian population within the group's lands, known as The Palatinate.

The history of the Lions faction can broadly be viewed in three eras - when the faction dwelled in Albion, then Avalon, and now Lantia. 
!Albion

Barring the occasional border dispute with close neighbours the Dragons (to the West) and the Bears (to the North), Albion was a peaceful land united under the leadership of the Lions and their Lord General Elias Karlennon (senior) in the absence of a true king. Elias' Lions hosted the first ever Gathering of Nations, at which he was promptly murdered. 

Pre-eminent noble and head of the Council of Albion Corvus Corvidae took over the leadership of the faction as the new Lord General in Elias' place. When he later declared himself to be King of Albion, Elias' widow - Elspeth Karlennon - disputed Corvus' right to kingship. Half of the Lions followed Corvus, while half rebelled and followed Elspeth and declared themselves to be an independent faction, the Harts. 

For a time the Harts ruled southern Albion while the Lions retained the North, but this proved unworkable and so there was an honour battle at the Gathering of 1096 to decide which faction would own Albion. Corvus' Lions (with their allies the Gryphons, the Tarantulas, the Cobras and the Unicorns) lost the honour battle and were forced to leave their homeland of Albion. The leaders who led them through the battle and into exile in the long-lost demiplane of Avalon were King Corvus Corvidae, Earl Jadvor Erland, Edmund L'Addernoir and Corvus' wife, Queen Roxanne Corvadae.

!Avalon

The demiplane of Avalon was connected to Erdreja, until around 500 years ago when the legendary King Arthur closed the paths between the planes. The Avalonians who were cut off from Erdreja were a largely disparate people, living on a huge landmass which was dominated by the ravages of numerous hordes of chaos demons. A few enclaves of civilisation grew and prospered while the rest of Avalon suffered, but these outposts were an exception to the conditions elsewhere.

When the Lions arrived from Albion, the paths to Erdreja reopened and people could travel freely between the two planes. Roxanne and Covus became demons, though it is not widely known how, and took control of the chaos demons of Avalon to form The Raven Host. It was not until the barrier of Valinor Kai was raised that the faction was finally safe from the depradations of the chaos demons and the corrupted leadership of Corvus and Roxanne.

Unfortunately for the Lions and for Avalon, the reopening of the paths to and from the demiplane had attracted the attentions of a hostile race known as the Nosta Kar. These gold skinned ancients arrived in 1098 through a huge gateway and immediately demanded that the Lions submit to their rule. They gave the Lions 3 months in which to consider their reply, and at the Winter parliament of 1098 the two sides came to blows.

Though the Lions won many battles, notably at Eagg Isle, the Nosta Kar used their ability to transport huge numbers of troops ('rifting') across Avalon to confound the Lions military. Prince Bishop Hatfield gave his life in a ritual to drop the Valinor Kai barrier, releasing the Ravenhost against the Nosta Kar, but even this wasn't enough to turn the tide and in 1100AF the Lions closed the paths to Avalon and headed for Erdreja on the one small surviving portion of Avalon - the island of Holy Isle. Seven heroes, called the Gateguard and led by King Rhino Kazad (also comprising of Cheetah, Sun Bear, Grey, John Lee, Hengist and Vulture) remained behind for a time to try to hold the Nosta Kar back.

The Lions on Holy Isle were piloted through the void back to Erdreja by Magnus Gallowglass, who then became a prince of the faction.

The Lions' leaders at that time were Rhino's wife Queen Sapphire Kazad, Prince Magnus Gallowglass of Lantia and Prince Ivan Shoshoni.

!Lantia

The fleeing Lions came to Lantia after a precarious journey through the void. After 'splashdown', a ring of islands rose from the seas surrounding Holy Isle to form the current archipelago in which most Lions live. The faction was bolstered by close alliances with nearby islanders the Armengarians and the Court of Arrakesh.

Though hounded from their homeland and attacked throughout the journey back to Erdreja, the Lions gained little respite in their new home - in recent years the faction has been attacked by rival Erdrejan factions, betrayed from within, and confronted with many of the wonders (both good and evil) which the islands of Lantia contain. Information regarding the original Drakken which created the islands and the story of their downfall have begun to be revealed, and though the Lions have defeated a number of enemies on Lantian soil, the war itself has not yet been decided. Though battered and bruised, the Lions fight on.
