Welcome & FAQ about The Old Republic

Welcome to the forum of The Old Republic!

During the great war against the VALAR, some nobles and leaders of free cities in Illyriad united under the banner of the Old Republic. The aim was to fairly cooperate in a non-authoritarian alliance. We are committed to transparency. Our leaders are elected and directly accountable for their actions. Important decisions are made by the entire alliance and not only by a few members. We founded a representative and participative Republic. And we founded this forum for debate, role play and to learn about the world of Illyriad. Our members are sovereign players of Illyriad that are committed to mutual defence and political cooperation. You can find more information on our Republic (and the political system) on our alliance profile.

After the debate and passage of the Covenant, the founding document of our Republic, one of the most spectacular festivities Illyriad ever saw has been celebrated. There have been days of celebrations including a huge tournament, bewitching magic-elf-music, freaking intoxicants of the surrounding jungles, ten enormous roasted elephants on pikes and other marvellous delicacies of the elves. After electing the Executive Council (the two Consuls, the President of the Assembly, the President of the Senate and the Minister of War) we want to actively shape friendly relations with as many players as possible. Therefore we are founding the Illyriad Trade Union and have further plans.

Everybody is welcome to participate in the Old Republic!

To answer some questions and provide some information, I will create a FAQ here:

Alliance Tax: What is the 2% alliance tax revenue used for?
We pay a fix amount (75000 per month) to small players (less than 700 pop) to help them grow. Apart from that, the Assembly (therefore all full members) has to approve the budget. Therefore, it will only be spend for projects the majority of the Republic will benefit from. We are particularly thinking to save it for a possible war. But you can suggest projects yourself.

Associate Members: What is an Associate Member?

How to become a full member? It is quite easy!

Members of the Old Republic: What can I do in the Old Republic?

New members: New members of the Old Republic should read this!

Rules for attacking other players: Here

We would like to intensify cooperation with other alliances. Please have a look here. Also the concept of "guilds" (third post) might be interesting for players that think about joining.

Where do I find the Covenant? Please have a look here.
