Morningthaw

Are any (or all) of your allegiance player killers?
Some

Is it female only or co-ed? Do you have a variety of player types or are you limited to one or two types (like an all-mage allegiance)?
Co-ed, variety of players

Do you allow mules to pledge in your allegiance?
Only those that are active, for instance like a mule that does alchemy, or cooking which is played like a character. Not those that just hold items. However, due to the lack of control in the lower ranks, I am sure there are some "just mule" types sworn somewhere.

What do you offer your vassals and what do you expect from them?
Although gifts of armor, weapons and such is nice and done often in the monarchy, we offer more of a sense of belonging. Somewhere where both brothers and sisters can rely on others for aid of information, hunting parties and quests. Lots of people are in to joining monarchies for the great items they will receive, but i think the most loyal of vassal's would rather join a guild of fun, and honesty, where your brothers and sisters will be there in your time of need.

Do you organize your followers according to an allegiance tree or just allow them to join and recruit at will?
I have no restrictions at this time.

Were you ever a part of another allegiance? If so, why did you choose to leave them and start your own?

How much maintainence do you do in order to prevent your vassals from becoming unhappy and leaving? What do you do to keep their loyalty?
I communicate with vassels on a day to day basics. We form hunting parties to go on adventures and to complete quests. If there is a problem, I expect them to come to me with it, so we may fix the problem.

Do members of your allegiance regularly team up to go adventuring, especially to do some of the more difficult quests?
YES YES YES

Would you like to see allegiance wars implemented in the game? If so, how do you think they would affect the game and how would they make it better?

No, the characters creation doesn't allow for differneces in the way charcters are created therefore there should be no difference in the way they are viewed.
