CREATE A PARLIAMENT

Centuries after Soren and his band came to the Great Tree, after Coryn turned his back on the Pure Ones and became King, after many battles were fought and won, The Great Tree of Ga‘Hoole still stands. Since those long ago times, even more kingdoms and settlements of owls have begun to emerge into the light of the world, and they each have their own sets of rules, laws, and owls that inhabit each. The owl world keeps growing, and it needs your help for that growth to continue. Will you help them? Create your own Parliament, settle into your own Kingdom, and make a great name for yourself in the history of this new world!

1) Follow all the Chickensmoothie rules.
2) This thread is made with permission and based off of an original idea. Do not under any circumstances try to copy
or make a game like this. It's an original idea
made by Kaden who passed
it down to Katrione. Based heavily off of the Ga’Hoole series by Katheryn Lasky.
3) I will remake this game at 900 pages.
4) Please use proper grammar and punctuation
and do not use text talk at all.
5) Be kind and respectful to both me and other
members at all times.
6) Do not requote your post unless it has been
skipped over by a mod. It gets annoying and clutters
the thread.
7) Do not Mini Mod unless you are the co-owner or mod
8) Please PM me if you are confused or if you
have any questions.
9) No begging for new owls/herbs/allies/enemies
10) Make sure to have fun!
11) Because I know things might get slightly weird, the list of illnesses and herbs that will be used will be from Erin Hunter‘s Warrior Cats series because I cannot find a list for the actual Ga‘Hoole series and do not feel like making a list of my own. Also, you will be making a parliament, but your territory will be called a Kingdom.

ＨＯＷ ＴＯ ＰＬＡＹ

Starting Off If it is your first time posting, you must tell me about your parliament. You can describe things like your parliament's name, nature, reputation, territory and personalities are good. These things help us decide on what your first owl, the King, will look like! We will quote your post with a picture of your first owl and they will be the owl who is the foundation of your parliament. You can decide on things like the King’s name, age and gender. Because of there being so many owl species, I am going to make a list of the common owl types that will be featured in this game.
I am planning on making other, more rare, owl species available eventually through raffles and other events, but for not this is the list of types of owls that will be available to be given to you, all mods please use this list when giving out new owls:

Getting More Owls Your parliament will start off small and you will have to build up it's population. You have two options for finding owls: patrols and sending your King to the Aurora Glaucora. You are only able to send your King to the Aurora Glaucora once a week and they can ask Glaux for a new owl; you can ask for a specific ranked owl or we will give you one at random. You will be able to pick their name, gender and age as well.

Patrols You are able to send up to 6 owls out on a patrol at one time. There are only a few things that can happen on patrols: you can find prey, which will keep your parliament safe from any attacks for 12 hours; you can chase off a threat, which will also keep your parliament safe for 12 hours; you can find a new owl at the border (however the further along your clan gets the less likely this is to happen), you will usually only find warriors and apprentices but you will sometimes find owlets at the border if you have Broodies available; and you can find a King of a rival parliament that will ask for an alliance that you can accept, ignore or even decide on becoming enemies.

New Ranks Whenever you have an owl old enough to move onto the next rank (6 moons- owlet to Junior, 12-16 moons- Junior to Warrior/Hunter) you can send your king to the Aurora Glaucora to tell Glaux of your decision to do a ceremony. If you want a specific name for your apprentice when they become a warrior, you will need to include that name in the post or I will choose one for you. You must also do this when promoting an owl to Warden, or retiring an owl to become an elder.

Healing/Herbs When you find your Matron, you will have the option to choose 5 herbs to start off your medical storage. When you send your Matron out to find herbs, you can only find 2 every patrol the Matron takes to find herbs. Once your Matron gets an apprentice, you will be able to find 3 on one patrol. You store your herbs in the medicine store and they can be used to heal sick or injured owls

Mentors/Training You will be the one to assign a certain Mentor to a certain Junior. Before your Junior is allowed to become a Warrior/Hunter, they must complete 4 training sessions and they must be at least 12 moons old. Your Junior learns a new 'move' during each training session. You can send your matron’s apprentice to train with the Warrior/Hunter Juniors but it isn't a requirement for them.

Aging/Death You must age your owls up 1 moon every post that you post. If in one post, you had an apprentice who was 8 moons, then in the next post you would make that apprentice would be 9 moons. In this game, there are 5 possible ways for your owl to die; being born stillborn, old age, being attacked severally by a dangerous animal/another owl, Broodies can die having eggs, and not having your injuries treated within 2 days of them getting injured and/or sick.

Alliances If you meet a neighboring parliament while on patrol, you can choose to become their ally. Ally parliaments usually act friendly towards each other and resolve disputes without fighting. You can give herbs to an ally parliament if they don't have the herb they need but you do and if they are in desperate need of one. You can also trade owls with an ally clan, but this can only happen at a gathering. If your parliament is under attack by an enemy parliament, your ally parliament can join the fight and defend you as long as the enemy parliament isn't their ally. If your ally defends you in an attack, you have a much less chance of your owls dying or being captured.

If you meet a neighboring parliament while on patrol, you can choose to become their enemy or rival. Enemy parliaments usually act hostile towards each other and often argue and fight. You can steal owlets, apprentices, elders and herbs while raiding enemy parliament kingdoms. You need 4 owls to do this and the only way the parliament can get these back is if they attack the original attacker. Attacks can prove fatal and there will often be owls injured, captured or even killed during attacks. You can make peace and become allies with an enemy parliament during a gathering.

Gatherings Next Gathering: ???
Gatherings happen once every 2 weeks, usually on Saturdays (Some days are put earlier/later because of holidays). At a gathering, you can choose your King, Warden and Matron (apprentice) along with six others to attend and your King or Warden will share news to the rest of the parliaments. It is here that fights, friendships and romances can blossom so it is a good event to make sure and attend. It is here battles can be arranged and owls can be swapped. Parliaments can also form alliances and rivalries here. You can do this by getting the Kings to talk, and if they find common interests, or seem aggressive towards each other, they can become allies or enemies!
Next Matron Gathering: ???
The Matron Gathering happens every other week. The gathering of the Parliaments will be one week, then the Matrons will gather at the Aurora Glaoucora the next week. This is very similar to a normal gathering, except there isn't as much tension. The Matrons will talk with each other about things that are going on in their Parliament at the moment and will make arrangements to trade herbs if needed.

Becoming Mates/Having Eggs Without Eggs, your Parliament would struggle to thrive. To have two owls to become mates, post them going for a flight together and one of them asking the other to be their mate. In my post, I will time skip to the female owl having the eggs, then you will have to wait two moons (2 posts) for them to hatch. If you wish for the female owl to not have eggs yet, make sure to tell me. If you want a female owl to have more eggs, say so in your post as well. Any owls can become mates, but only owls of the same species will be able to produce eggs, since different species cannot make viable offspring.

Forbidden Romances Forbidden romances are romantic relationships with either a Matron, or an owl from another Parliament. Owls can form romances with owls from both ally and enemy Parliaments and can sneak out of camp to meet them and bond at gatherings. However, if the relationship results in eggs, they will have to find an owl willing enough to cover up as their father. It can be arranged at a gathering for one or more of the eggs to be given to the parent of the other clan. It is extremely rare, but some owls may find out that the eggs are forbidden and the parent(s) and/or owlets could be exiled from the Parliament.

Prey Every post, your Parliament will use up two pieces of food. Once you reach seven Parliament members, your serving will go up 1. Then the next time you get seven more owls, your serving will go up by one again. The max amount of owls you can send out on a hunting patrol is 6 owls; for every 2 owls on the patrol, you will get one piece of prey, so the max amount of prey you can get from one hunting patrol is 3 pieces of prey. You can use six types of prey. An example of a set would be; mice, pigeons, voles, fish, rabbits and squirrels. You can switch out the different types of prey depending on what is normally found in your Parliaments Kingdom but don't make it a type of prey that Parliament owls wouldn't normally eat. When you fill in your form after receiving your King, remember to fill in the six types of prey your Parliament will be using. Very rarely, the mod who replies to your Parliament will give you something outside of those six. Remember to go hunting often since two pieces are used every post. If you run out of fresh-kill, you have 2 posts to get enough prey back. After 2 posts, an owl in your Parliament will die from starvation. Every post after that, 1 owl will die until you catch enough prey.

NOTE: For your first three posts you need not worry about eating any prey.

Seasons Each season will last two weeks, each season having one gathering. After the gathering ends, a new season will start, going in order from Winter to Autumn. When your mod replies to your post, the mod will write what type of weather your Parliament has for that day, which will ultimately effect how things go for you that day.

Winter- The chances of catching greencough is higher. If you send the same owl out multiple times in the same post, they are more likely to catch a cold, which is lead to whitecough and greencough so be careful. After your owl catches a cold, don't send them out for 2 posts or their cold will progress to whitecough or greencough. The sun will start to go down early and it will get colder once the sun starts to go down. You will also catch less prey and are less likely to find new owls.
Spring- During spring, hatchings will run much smoother and the chances of the Broodies or owlets dying during birth will go down dramatically. There is also a higher chance of you catch more prey than usual. The chances of catching greencough, whitecough and owletcough will go down. With all the snow melting, it is very likely that your territory will start flooding. There will also be more storms that will contribute to the flooding. The odds of finding new owls is very high.
Summer- During summer, you will catch a max of 6 pieces of prey. During patrols, you are more likely to run into rogue groups that will most likely start to try and settle in your kingdom so keep an eye out. You are still likely to get floods, but there will be more droughts towards the middle of summer. Your Parliament will still receive new owls but not as much as you would in Spring.
Autumn- During fall, it will start to get colder so the amount of prey you will catch will go down. The sun will start going down earlier and earlier and this will continue into winter. Hatchings will start to get a little bit harder so make sure to stock up on herbs like fennel, chervil, ragwort leaves and raspberry leaves.

Post Format After your first post, you will use the following format in every post to keep track of your Parliament. Replace the "link" in the X with the image of your owl. You may edit slightly, but not too much.

[vampiress_fox]

Thick mists and strong winds help to protect this great kingdom from the outside world. Not many birds, be they owls or otherwise, can make it through to find the Island of Hoole in the middle of the Sea of Hoolemere. Those that do, however, find upon that island a great tree inhabited by a large variety of different owl species. All these owls live in harmony together, learning from each other and supporting and protecting one another. This tree is aptly named The Great Ga’Hoole Tree and makes up the center most point of the Kingdom of Ga’Hoole. There are many other outlaying settlements on the shores and in the cliffs that surround the island, but the territory does not move much past the sea and the island.

The variety of owls that live here makes it a cultural center for the owl kingdoms, and none that can make the journey to the island will be turned away. The strong owls that live in this tree hold honor above all, and anyone who resides here will be expected to uphold that honor as well. Many others see the owls of Ga’Hoole as a peacekeepers and police of sorts. They are always quick to help those in need of it, and most often the first to stand up to tyranny.

A large part of the diet of these owls are the milkberries that grow on the vines of the Great Tree itself, as well as the small mammals that make their homes on the island and on the surrounding landscape. Also, on the areas across the see and away from the tree, there are many crops that are grown in order to attract other kinds of prey as well.

TERRITORY: The Great Ga’Hoole Tree, the Sea of Hoolemere, and the surrounding cliffs and forested areas.
REPUTATION: Honorable owls that are quick to help others and to stand up for what they believe is right and the freedom of all.
OWLS: A wide variety of owl species live in the three, there is no one owl species that dominates the population.

[Arya22]

The kingdom of N'yrthghar is a cold kingdom, definitely colder than most other kingdoms. Its center is the everwinter sea, which makes the owls there strong fliers. They also know the ways of the wind very well. Most owls there reside in the Ice cliff palace, in the Ice talons.

Prey there is scarce, but the owls know how to find it. It is usually mice and voles. They can also find the occasional stoat. When near the water, they can also fish. Predators include wolves and polar bears.

Owls of N'yrthghar have the reputation to be fierce fighters, strong and not very nice. In truth, they have a lot of depth and are extremely loyal. But it is true that they are great fighters.

A large Eagle Owl looked out on the icy landscape that it had come to, and knew that this would be its new home. The Kingdom of N'yrthghar has been founded!

The big great grey owl finally burst through the storm. In front of them was a huge, golden tree. And the owl finally knew this was what they had been looking for.
The Kingdom of Ga'Hoole has been founded!

[Ember!]

The Kingdom of Ka'Finn

This kingdom resides in a slightly hilly, forested area. Above ground, it really isn't much. Just trees, rocks, and underbrush. However, their rather unextraordinary territory has plenty of herbs and prey, which is all these owls really need. The owls of Ka'Finn have their base in a ravine, well hidden by a thick wall of bushes and trees. They make their nests in holes and caves within this ravine.

The Kingdom of Ka'Finn likes to see themselves as a safe haven, free from the 'war and corruption' of other Kingdoms. While they would never admit it, their leader has a bit of a big head about themself and their parliament. They train and endose the arts of healing, and will actively seek for those in need of their help. They avoid conflict, and can be rather cowardly if confronted in battle.

The owls of this kingdom vary greatly in species. Due to their nature, they will take in whoever is in need of their 'guidance' no matter the background or color. However, you'll find that most owls are smaller in size. They have a faint bias against larger, more brawny owls, due to the false belief that they are more hostile.

A gentle wind let the screech owl descend into the ravine. They could see small holes, perfect for what they had in mind. This was their new home.

[Starwindrider]

Kingdom of Starrf'yre


These owls are supersitous, and believe the stars choose their fates, they live on a small island. They are honorable, fearless and love challenges. They have a kind side too.

The young short eared owl landed on a limb, looking out at the island it had found. One look around and it knew it was home.

[miss universe]

The Kingdom of Skyfall is quick, short-tempered and unpredictable. The Kingdom is actually a Matriarch, in which instead of a King leading the parliament, a Queen leads. Skyfall Kingdom is placed inside of a lush forest, and the edge of their territory is a wasteland.
