Fairy Road Authority (aka Roads)
The Fairy Road Authority is an inter-continental competitive tournament alliance with deep roots in exploratory trade and crafting. We are one of the oldest long-standing alliance with great stability. Our original mission, whose primary charter is the restoration and maintenance of the Fairy Road network have drastically evolved into one whose mission is to dominate at seasonal King of the Hill tournaments. We welcome visiting warriors who shares the same vision as us, to dominate and represent as a formidable tournament alliance.
The Fairy Road Authority is a large collective organization which needs a variety of areas of expertise and is always looking for new talent to add to the family. Every member is valued, from our fighters to defend our name and territory in tournaments to our traders, and crafters.
Roads is recruiting old and new players alike. As a member of Roads you will be provided with prestige and resources and knowledge on how to grow in a efficient and effective way. As a new member of Roads we provide our members under ten cities with nine prestige per day per account. For those above the ten cities we provide six prestige per day per account. We’re committed to growing our alliance and our members through resource bombs and the free daily prestige. We’re always looking for more members to welcome into our alliance. If your interested in joining please message Mars for more details.
Tournament Play
Roads has a primary focus to participate and dominate winning either bronze, silver, or gold medals at seasonal tournaments. We train our soldiers to be strong and resilient, defending each square across many lands especially our home territories. Roads have been participating in tournaments for over 8 years and have markedly improved over the past few years. In the past three years, we have won multiple global medals.

We continue to seek for new brave warriors to fight alongside and defend our name and honor. Our warriors have valiantly stood up against many odds, set-backs with a heart of steel and valor! As a longstanding underdog in tournaments, teamwork and collaboration is key to our alliance. Visitors are always welcome. We value loyalty, integrity and fair play. Switching teams in the middle of a tournament is strongly discouraged in Roads. When we win, we win with the highest honor, perseverance and hard work. Message Mars if interested fighting with us either a Roadie or valiant brother.

Policies
Poaching policy:
Territorial policy:
5-square radius:
The Fairy Road Authority will defend any resource plots within less than a 5 sq radius of any Road Town, and on any sovereignty claim by a Road town from unwanted armies, cotters, skinners, herbalists, and miners. This may include bumping harvesters, and possibly diplomatic or military action against any troops or harvesters deployed to these squares if deemed necessary for resource preservation (see conflict resolution below) . Note that although we consider the 5-square rule to be bilateral, we do not consider a town arriving at a traditionally Road rare resource to automatically claim that resource. Some players consider caravans to be included in their private 5-square policy and we do consider it polite to ask before harvesting within somebody's 5-square range.
10-square:
Roads also adheres to the de facto standard 10-square rule. To avoid unnecessary conflicts, players who wish to move their cities or settle new ones within 10 squares of an existing Road city should contact the owner of the existing city prior to initiating the move. Any player who does not acquire the appropriate permissions in advance may be subject to having the new/relocated city removed by force (see conflict resolution below). This rule is bilateral, and Road Workers desiring to settle within 10 squares of a player town should first verify with the new neighbours.
Conflict resolution:
Most territorial conflicts are based on misunderstandings, and can be resolved by the involved players talking to each other to clarify the needs and wants and standpoints of both parties. Only if player-to-player discussions have proven fruitless in resolving the conflict should the matter be elevated to discussions between alliance leadership. Do not start any military action without first consulting your alliance leader - most alliances do not condone aggression started on player initiative.
Diplomacy policy:
We are a peaceful alliance. As we are spread over the map, we require the good will of our neighbors to do many of our activities and therefore have many Non-Aggression Pacts. We wish to remain friendly with all of our neighbors. War (excepting friendly training exercises) is always a last resort, and the Fairy Road Authority is proud to have avoided this last resort for some years now.
Our Roots and History: Building Roads
The Fairy Road Authority [Roads] started its life as an independent sister organization of the Dwarven Druids. We share the peaceful and explorative goals of the Dwarven Druids. There are, however, two important differences: 1) Although a dwarf-friendly alliance, we accept members of all races and not only dwarves. 2) We focus on infrastructure and trade rather than magic.
It is important to understand the history of deep roots. When initially found, with pathfinding being a possibility in Illyriad, our alliance primary focus was to build roads as a global connection for trades and other transport.
