The Data Hoard of the Overseer wrote:The leaders are busy with IRL stuff so as long as we continually cast Gentle Repose everything will be fine.

"Dragons can sleep for months even years, they'll lie completely still underneath their hoards waiting for someone to just try and steal it. Never steal from a dragon's lair unless you're sure both of the dragons inside are dead" - Excerpt from Archeology: The noble art of stealing after the owner's are dead

if we can cast gentle repose then by gaining enough xp we will be able to cast resurrection and revifify

Hello guys

Welcome to the land of the dragon nerds

Welcome to the Lair!

You've embarked on a grand adventure through the realms of NationStates, and we are excited to see you florish.

If you need anything, let us know - for all is for the Hoard, and the Hoard is for the Lair!

.

All for the hoard, the hoard for the lair!
The Greatwyrms protect, the kobolds provide.

Mention the phrase "Papa Jotun says pay me" to the Silver Dragon for 1000 Gold Coins. Redeemable once per kobold.

» The Goal of The Lair: Money, Fame, and Friends «

Lair of the Dragon has a few things we focus on as a region, and as the title above says, it can be summed up as Money, Fame, and Friends.

> Money - There are several stats that we emphasize in-game, namely the Economy, Average Income, and Economic Output stats, alongside the cards minigame stat of International Artwork. We also have a little economy thing Linkin our Discord where gold coins are given to folks who complete various quests or do things for the region.

> Fame - Raiding and Diplomacy are what gets us fame. Raiding is part of the NationStates military gameplay, and there is a lot of information there that can't be covered in a beginner's guide, but the short of it is taking over regions using the World Assembly Delegacy to either post our tag, or to take the region for ourselves. Diplomacy is generally any interaction with another region in NationStates, whether it be to improve or worsen relations. There are some regions that we will almost always be antagonistic towards, but class and good taste are key to being a good villain.

> Friends - The last, and arguably most important, part of what Lair of the Dragon is about is Friends! Through the avenues of Roleplay in the Regional Message Board, hosting Cultural Events, sharing cool Dragon Media, or getting new people into the region and discord, we gain the most valuable treasure of all; Friendship!


» How to Achieve the Goals «

> How to achieve these goals - In order to achieve these goals, I've made some things to encourage doing things. The Paths are rewards for players doing things. The Hoarding Path is reward titles for people doing things to get money, and the Claw and Wing Paths are reward titles and powers for doing things to get Fame and Friends. The Clans are a way to generate competition, where I can poke all the people in the clans and give them a goal to reach.

There is no 'winning' or 'end state'. This website is literally older than MySpace and Facebook. However, you can absolutely set goals for yourself, and strive to achieve them. Examples include:
  • Have a lot of high stats in an area.

  • Collect NS Cards.

  • Roleplay.

  • Build a region/community.

  • Legislate in the World Assembly.

  • Lead an NS Military in raiding, defending, or both.

  • Write interesting issues.

  • Others that exist but I'm not coherent enough to write out.

For all those brand new to NationStates, there is a wonderful a guide written that will get you all the information you need to fly far into the realm of NationStates.

Too Long, Didn't Read

My friend, if you've come straight here to get a summary, here it is:
NationStates involves a lot of reading. Like, a lot. If that ain't your speed, this forum-based web game ain't gonna be for you.
