Trade Wars, Episode V:
The Portal Imp Guild Strikes Back
Our November and December roleplay event
Portal imps are essential to the function of the Sidhe Empire on account of being the only ones who can reliably navigate the portal network between the empire’s worlds. Naturally, they’re a huge part of the transport industry. As the story of this sim-wide opens, shipments just suddenly stop. Any attempt to contact the Portal Imp Guild are met with endless transfers of department. Even low-ranking guild members can’t get a straight answer at first. But then word gets to them that there’s a strike going on, and most of those imps end up being part of the strike.
What has caused this state of affairs? Some imps strike for the want of full citizenship. Others say it is a coupe within the senior management of the guild itself. Still others hint at a puppet-master in the shadows who is playing a longer game and the Portal Imps are simply their first gambit. Conspiracy theories abound.
Whatever the truth, for the citizens of NeoLondon, this strike means shortages of goods that begin as an inconvenience but soon escalate to life threatening.
We kick this sim-wide off on Saturday, 20 November 2021 at 4 PM, SL-time. Meet in the marketplace.
Want to play an imp?
Grendel’s Children has a FREE portal imp avatar. We’ve used it for years as the standard portal imp avatar. Comes with wings and a tail and a free AO.
Put yourself in fly-mode before you teleport in. Once there, navigate to the location. The vendor is on an upper level, turn the viewer’s beacon on and follow the arrow.

Background on the Clockwerk Balls
Often sponsored by local veteran associations, “Clockwerk Galas” are very popular affairs, serving as fund-raisers and recruitment. The most amazing is held every Fall in Old London on Old Earth. It runs a fortnight with the oldest houses vying to raise the most money with fantastical parties and auctions. The “Royal Clockwerk Ball” closes the festivities; it’s held in Buckingham Slithen and all the Court attends. Here the most valiant of the year’s warriors are awarded the Sidhe Cross.
The NeoLondoners are planning one evening of celebration, in the Victoria Inn and Tavern. All clockwerks are welcome. All proceeds going to the local widows and orphans fund. [This is roleplay; no actual money is being raised.]
and Strand Constructs (golems of pure machine consciousness).
To learn more about how to play a clockwerk character in the Neo’Verse, read the excerpt on the Cyborg Concordance on this site and join in the fun!
About the Roleplay: In NeoVictoria, we do free-form dark roleplay. Free-form means there is no script; scenes evolve out of real-time character interactions. Dark roleplay means that characters often act in aggressive, predatory, criminal and/or plain uncomfortable ways. We use a simple dice-based wearable HUD called the NeoVictoria Roleplay Tool ; avatars must wear this to see roleplay chat. The item is free and available in the out-of-character skymall.
Players do not have to be a member of our group to roleplay here; we ask newcomers take a tour of the Visitor Center in NeoVictoria SIM to learn about the storyworld before joining in the roleplay.
[Observer tags are also available for players who want to visit the land level, but not roleplay.]
