A Time Honored Tradition
Year after year the sirens go off and chaos descends upon the fold for the yearly ritual of Honor’s Fall, a time where all laws are put on hold for one night and everyone goes out to settle their
debts and grievances. Our Family Heads fight for power and control while the people of the fold fight for survival until the sunrise, presenting a head at The Wilted Rose to maintain or claim a spot at the table as one of Requiem’s Families
Here’s the Rules
At sunset, the Treaty of the Fold is suspended, and everyone in town can do as they will. By tradition, the Heads of the Patron Families of Requiem hunt each other to retain their position. While the activity is simple, we have several rules in play that the Families are expected to follow:
The sirens will go off around 8pm Saturday night once they go off all of the laws of the fold don’t apply.
All Families of Requiem are expected to Participate in Honor’s Fall
To clarify this means that Family Heads are expected to openly participate in Honor’s Fall undisguised and out in the open for a majority of the time in play.
Families looking to stake their claim at the table must claim another Family’s head and show up to The Wilted Rose at sunrise
Families can do whatever they can think of to keep their Family Head safe(within the spirit of Honor’s Fall) understand that violating the rules will have consequences
Heads may be claimed using the Master Criminal Influence Skill or the M.M. Necro-Info Head Jar. (Heads MUST be properly repped by the person claiming the head. If using the item it must be turned in and destroyed at the end of Honor’s Fall)
Once a Family Head is killed, they no longer need to participate in Honor’s Fall, but they still need to show up to The Wilted Rose at sunrise with a trophy
Sunrise counts around 6am on Sunday Morning
How To Enjoy Honor’s Fall
You have three options to enjoy the night of Honor’s Fall: political Character versus Character (CvC), political Character versus Enemies (CvE), or survival CvE:
If you’re heavily involved in Family politics, you can actively hunt (and be hunted by) other players. If you play a high-ranking member of a Family, you’ve opted into this already; other players may choose to get involved in the CvE aspects of Honor’s Fall.
If you want to get involved in the bloody politics of Honor’s Fall, but prefer less CvC, you can hunt and oppose the NPC Patron Families, who will all be out in force. Remember, they’re often as dangerous as other PCs.
If you want to stay out of the politics of Requiem, you can just try to survive the carnage, and help others to do so. The battles of Honor’s Fall are known for their collateral damage, so there are lots of challenges for you.
There is more to Honor’s Fall than just the battle, there’s politics, negotiations, back alley deals, and tons of other ways you can talk or bark your way through the people that come out of the woods.
Death is a Part of the Process
Death is a normal part of Dystopia Rising, arguably one of the best parts! Through death you can explore your characters flaws and goals or even breathe life into a character you may have been struggling with. While Honor’s Fall is advertised as a very lethal event for players the truth of the matter is that only the Family Heads, Tier 3s and those who opt in are facing a slightly higher level of danger. We understand that death can be scary for some and that others are very attached to the characters and stories they’ve made. However there are still many ways(Like the ones listed above)to get involved with the plot of the weekend. We’re always looking for more volunteers on the NPC side of the game during these kinds of events and are happy to have more hands to help make these families feel massive and real!
