Specialization

Specializations are more commonly referred to as a professional focus, as they center around certain co-ranks and centering ones role in the pack around that or those professions.

Information

Obtaining a professional focus is difficult, but the prestige is well worth it. A noble with a professional focus is superior to a noble of the same rank without a focus.

Upon obtaining a focus, the noble takes on the extra title and get an icon added to their account.

Prompts provided below each focus are only suggested prompts that could be used. You are not obligated to use those particular prompts. Some co-ranks might apply to different focuses, too. If you have any questions, make sure to ask leadership for clarification!

Guidelines

  • Complete five (5) threads that would or could be applied to the professions in that focus.
    • Threads must have either 1200 words or 5 posts by the submitting player.
    • Threads do not need to be finished or archived to count for submission.
    • Only two (2) RO or self-threads are permitted
    • You may not reuse co-rank threads for focuses.
  • Character may only use threads obtained after becoming a noble.
  • Character must have one (1) corank that falls under that specialization already.
