I had an idea for a way to give us something similar to the Moon Mage Sects: Lodges!
Each would have a totem animal and a theme to them. Example: Bear Lodge who believe "Strength is everything, while some may need to aim, if you hit hard enough, it doesn't matter where you hit." or Boar who believe "While some dodge and weave, we know better, don't waste your time defending, the only way to be sure you won't get hit is to leave your opponent in pieces before they can swing."
When title II come out, we could get Bear Warrior or similar, plus all the fun of the spirit quest to join. Toss in an actually lodge house, maybe with player homes, and just think of what could happen!

Didn't sound like mocking to me. Sounds like he is encouraging your idea, but without giving the obligatory response of, "Maybe someday, but no time soon."
Since it will be years before something like this is introduced, why not start an Order or Clan now, and that can be your emblem.

Wasn't mocking at all.
I could spend all sorts of time and create lodges, paths, all that, with no guarantee anyone would use them or care.
Set up a group and RP it, and then it could be worth developing things if there is real interest in them.
Warpaint is great for that sort of thing IMO.

If players were active and involved in such things it would be easier for me to justify spending time on them. There still would be an issue about developing things for just a small group of the guild rather than the guild as a whole, and things for the whole guild would most likely have a higher priority.

There are already a number of excellent locations where various groups of barbarians can gather, if they wish to.
1) The Pig's Pannage in Tiger Clan. A bar, plenty of barbarian-type foods.
2) The lodge in Wolf Clan, or the tavern at the end of the road through the Clan. I've spent quite a few hours there in my various barbarian personnas, and I've been very curious about Wolfjaw Ironbeard. Perhaps he'll talk to us?
3) The cave in Knife Clan where Guildleader Stumara is presently residing. There are a couple of extra rooms off from her, and Dokt is nearby in case someone needs a quick healing after a spar.
4) The fenced-in yard behind the barbarian guild in Riverhaven.
5) Steel Claw Clan in Ilithi is basicly a barbarian town. So take your pick!
Any other suggestions?

In front of the Gorbesh Fort north of lang is a good, out of the way spot.
I also like the lodge in Wolf Clan. Wolfbeard's story is a great one and one I highly recommend reading btw. I'd love to try and have more mentor things going out there for us, if only more people knew the way out there.

There is also the Gorbesh Fort in Dirge. That place is almost always empty. But I would be willing to attenf lodge meetings for lodge that went along the lines of my character. Raist bear lodge sounds good. I think a lodge that was based on say the panther would be good. Not everything requires straight brute force. Agilty and guile go along way to making the panther a skilled and deadly hunter. Any thoughts anyone?

My thoughts were along the lines of a Northern Horde lodge based in Therengia. I'd definitely look into supporting and likely joining such a group. If my schedule allowed, I'd look into organizing a group like this, but my schedule is pretty full with the various IG things I'm into.
On a semi-related note, you could also perhaps link this lodge idea with and idea I had a while back of gladiator schools based around the official arenas of the lands. The war paint system certainly lends itself to this idea also.

Hey, if anyone else wants to join me in lodging, I'd be tickled pink. While I'm going to concentrate on starting the bear lodge, if some of you folks want to sit down and brain storm on lodges and competing totem lodges, I'd love it. I'm NOT looking to lead the bear lodge, just get it running. When I first "planned" this, I mostly pictured lodges being groups that compete but do it in a friendly way.
I like to think I'm always open to advice and talk, in fact I'd love to hear from all of you about what you think and what you want and what you hate.
Oh, and if you want to join, I'd love to know that too.
So step up to the plate folks, if you don't like Bear Lodge, start your own! Council of Lodges, Gladatiors, and Barbarians, coming to your town soon!

</brag>As the founder of the idea</brag> I'd like to suggest that those who are interested in starting Lodges or the like, get together to brainstorm themes and uniting features. Its my not-so-humble opinion that even if these lodges are based on separate themes, working together would probably get them going a lot faster.
Example: If I do a recruiting speech and someone isn't interested in my lodge, but in others, I can send 'em to you. Like I was talking about with Windharo, it seems people have different ideas about what these lodges represent. I was planning to take them on a more "totem animal" route, rather than limit it to the dances. Then again, I don't run the show, so what I was planning may not matter.
Maybe we should set up a <pompous>Council of Lodges</pompous>.

Actually, the things I'm setting up are the exact opposite. The Lodges are about ideals, embodied in animals. For example, the Bear Lodge is about the ideal of strength, the one Creatrix is setting up is about mercilessness in combat with a side order of stealth (exact theme still in planning) tentatively named Wolf Lodge. Someone else was going to set up a Lodge based on stealth, Panther I think.
If you have an idea, PLEASE let us know, or start your own. This should be the combined work of as many barbarians as possible.
