The Iron Covenant

[Romul Saxon]

"Before we speak of what is to come, we speak of what was. Sit. The fire is low, but it is warm. Listen."

WHAT IS THE STORYFIRE?

Before datapads and holofeeds, Mandalorians remembered through fire and voice. The Storyfire was a living, oral record. It was proof that someone had lived, fought, and mattered.

The Iron Covenant carries that tradition forward. Our Storyfires are the living record of this faction; structured narrative arcs that members can participate in, shape, and leave their mark on. Each Storyfire is organized into a SAGA: a defined arc of stories unified by a common theme, conflict, or turning point in the Covenant's history.

You are part of writing this legend.

WHAT IS A SAGA?

Sagas are the overarching narrative arc for a period of the Covenant's overall story. Think of it like a season of a show, or a book in a series. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The stories told during a Saga are guided but freeform; there are suggested beats and flagship threads to anchor things, but you are never locked into a single path.

A central narrative conflict defines each Saga. Threads are organized thematically as outlined below:
- Chronicles: Major story events that define the Saga's arc. These are primarily player-versus-player encounters: invasions, skirmishes, and junctions.
- Passages: Optional threads with defined objectives with a very focused scope.
- Lays: Private threads that enrich the narrative and personal weight of a Saga.

Sagas are not expandable. New threads can be opened by members or staff as the story evolves. The Saga ends when its central conflict is resolved, or when the Covenant is altered significantly enough that a new era begins.

REWARDS

Titles
Signature bling will be available based on participation in saga threads: Iron Forged for participating in one thread, Iron Proven for participating in three, and Iron Legend for participating in five. In addition, narrative-specific titles will be awarded by the Rekav’dral to characters for invasion commendations.

Commendation styles and signature bling will be unique to each saga.

Spoils
Each mission will feature a specific factory submission available as a participation reward to all who write in the thread. This submission can relate to something narrative-related -- obtaining x artifact or material, for example -- or otherwise thematically related to the thread. Spoils are a great way to IC develop your character’s progression and legend. Each spoil will be more or less unique to that thread.
