We host recurring "Faendryl Rules of Engagement" nights on the fourth Friday of each month or as listed on the official calendar and on TownCriers channels. The games change, but regular offerings include Killer Darts and a Werewolf-style game called "Nalfein Infiltrators."
'''Faendryl Symposium 2022'''


Our major calendar events include the annual [[Faendryl Symposium]], which typically takes place in September and is scheduled for September 18 and 19 this year; our annual carnival masquerade ball, which usually falls in late February or early March; and multi-MHO events such as [[Revelia Carnivale]], which may also include the Enclave.
Join the members of the Faendryl Enclave for an annual celebration of culture, history, art, and lore this September 24th, 25th, and 26th! Our calendar of events is growing daily, so check back to see what we've added.

During the Symposium, the Alabaster Spire will be available for tours. Enjoy the grounds, relax with a game of darts in the lounge, walk the gardens at night, and admire the art on loan from Ambassador Tredohal Hashier Faendryl.


The 2026 Faendryl Symposium calendar is now available and filling up with events! Look for more events and venues to be added in the weeks to come. Times and dates are subject to change.

The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community. Previously the only organized group of Faendryl were the Ta'Mori and generally associated with Eorgina, Evil, and/or generally undesirable to the public in general. To provide an alternative and to combat an overall negative view of the culture by others, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us.

Over time, the Enclave has evolved to help shape Faendryl culture in the popular imagination and provide a clearer view of it from our perspective, with an eye to preserving existing lore as we expand on it without overwriting it.

  2. Promote Faendryl culture & history
  3. Provide training for typical Faendryl skills (OOC, provide a platform for RP-related interactions)
  4. Act as an outreach to local governments to foster improved relations


Current Events

We host recurring "Faendryl Rules of Engagement" nights on the fourth Friday of each month or as listed on the official calendar and on TownCriers channels. The games change, but regular offerings include Killer Darts and a Werewolf-style game called "Nalfein Infiltrators."

Information

The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community for a cohesive voice that was not aligned with existing deities or groups. To provide a more positive, coherent view of the culture, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us. Over time, the Enclave has evolved to help shape Faendryl culture in the popular imagination and provide a clearer view of it from our perspective, with an eye to preserving existing lore as we expand on it without overwriting it.

Meetings

The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, The Alabaster Spire, in the Lounge (;go2 24046). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

The Alabaster Spire

The Alabaster Spire is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

Membership

Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it at the time). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join, you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

Assistance

The Enclave exists, in part, to provide assistance to Faendryl in need. One way we seek to do this is to help younger/newer Faendryl with equipment. If you are or know of a Faendryl or Half-Faendryl in need of decent 4x gear, please let an Officer know.

Events

We have had numerous events over the years. Some events are annual or have repeated, some have not. Event descriptions and logs, as available, will be added to this section.
