(A/RP) The Frozen Covenant.

IC:

Immortality; years have passed since Kel'thuzad's disciples embarked upon their conquest to achieve that one goal.

Through acknowledgment, resolve and absolute loyalty, the Cult of the Damned were granted a Kingdom to exist amidst and rule as they saw fit. Where once they lay oppressed, the orphaned children of the damned tore away the shackles imposed upon them by the world of men and forged an ideal society free of their previous confinements. The vision they sought and achieved was not only to transcend death, but to mete out an existence reflecting unity, prosperity and perfection.

It is true that the Cult faces countless trials that would threaten its presence, but never again will these men and women submit to the false ideologies of the mortal world; its dogmas, short-sightedness and mandating inferiority shall not cast its veil upon the Cult. Nay! Power, totality and transcendence; such is what the will of their Master dictates and His will is but a inevitable, physical and spiritual manifestation leading only to fulfillment.

Though the enemies of the Cult would deem its tools as deplorable and heinous, their perception does not reach far beyond their blinding fog of morality. Necromancy has been naught but an ever-improving power to harness the cold embrace of death and grant immortality to its practitioner, and immeasurable wrath to exact upon one's foes. Ironic it is, that most of the living claim to seek salvation and yet they choose not to sway from the very frail shell that brings about their ultimate demise.

And now, a lingering shadow spreads its tendrils to every corner of the mortal realm; seeking visionary men and women whom would heed the whispers of the damned. They too shall rise above the oppression and ignorance of men; they too shall transcend the mortal weaknesses of flesh to exist in supremacy! As rightful rulers, their lands will bend to their every commandment until one fact remains certain - the Master's will shall be done!


OOC:

Whom we are:
Previously known as "Army of the Damned", The Frozen Covenant is an established Cult Role-Playing Guild that is inspired and driven by the lore revolving around the "Cult of the Damned"; the willing living servants of the original Scourge led by Ner'Zhul/Arthas, following the philosophy taught by the Cult's founder, Kel'thuzad.

What we offer:
We offer a lawful evil organization where we aim to present a grim, twisted way of life and religion tailored towards the existence of the Cult of the Damned and a decent standard of role-play regarding cultism and the interests, conflicts and effects it presents.

What our role-play offers includes but is not limited to:
1) A Dark Philosophy: during our time, we have adapted what we know from the lore regarding the philosophy the Cult follows, built upon it, and implemented it into our role-play. Thus we offer a set of grim, twisted but yet self-righteous doctrines and ideals that would allow for a grey atmosphere to RP within, and thus provide internal and external conflicts for characters as they develop within our way of existence.

2) The Dark Magical Arts: a prominent theme of the Cult is the dark, horrific magic it studies and delves into. We attempt to teach and implement such amoral magical practices and study, from which RP both casual and planned can be generated. We attempt to offer this theme in a very grim, serious and realistic manner; taking into consideration the complexity of magic, and the effects/consequences it would provide.

3) Evil vs. Goodness: being a Cult with malicious intent, we would certainly offer conflict against those whom would oppose our cause. Whether it is an all-out battle, corruption of individuals to sway into our fold, or subterfuge and sabotage - you can rest assured that you will have your share amount of evil acts to commit.

4) Cultism: one of the most important aspects we try to offer is the "cultist life"; that your character leads two lives that conflict with each other. ICly, we are individuals whom simply sought the philosophy the Cult of the Damned offered, and thus, we retain our previous lives - disguising ourselves as normal citizens, and spending our IC days normally among others while having a secret agenda and following a certain dark philosophy. Thus you will be encouraged to RP amongst others with your "discrete demeanor".

IC Organization:
Based upon the lore, there is no clear hierarchy or structure to how the Cult is organized; the apparent chaos serves the purpose of protecting the Cult's operations. And such a manner of organization is implemented within our guild, where members undergo only two ranks to prove their worth - Acolyte and Dark Adept - and then choose which role to undertake in their RP, where each is equal in ranking to the other:

Necromancer - death is power, and Necromancers indulge upon this power to no restraint. Preaching their ideals and the will of their Master zealously, Necromancers twist their knowledge of the arcane to raise legions of undead to bolster their forces, channel unholy energies to "heal" their allies, or rain doom upon their enemies through vile dark magic - only to dominate in the name of the Cult.

Blightweaver - nothing is as certain as death, and it is this very certainty that Blightweavers exploit at their behest. Agile, deceptive and lethal - these insidious men and women are responsible for the dispatching of the poisonous, festering diseases and plagues which terrorizes the living and shatters their foundation. As assassins, they work together with their comrades to brew the vile tools which ensures that death is delivered in the most horrendous form before they slip past enemy lines and plant them.

Darkcaster - exploiting their vast knowledge of Shadow Magic, these dark magi draw upon their power to inflict harmful pain upon the Cult's enemies; mental or physical. They are the shadowy inquisitors of the Cult, channelling their magic to mete out the Cult's agenda in whatever means they could; from manipulation to torture and direct confrontations.

Blackguard - individuality is a flaw of nature, and it is for this reason that the Blackguards exist: to ensure that everything runs in accordance to the Master's will. These physical enforcers preserve the rightful order of things, where any potential threat within and outside of the Cult is dealt with mercilessly. Applying whatever little knowledge of dark magic they retain, they would power their strikes and aid their allies to whatever end until fully ascending into what every other cultist desires; immortality.

Apart from these roles, there is an additional rank present for those ambitious, which constitutes the officers whom will be leading the guild and planning events. ICly they are experienced notable members whom would be responsible for managing the Cult operations while offering guidance and direction when required and yet equally working alongside other members.

Bump! I love these guys!

They are kool! Even if they are slaves to a memory.

Best of luck! Good to see the guild finding its way to the forums at long last

The frigid wind blows, but i can not feel it.
I have watched the world trough ice with the eyes of a sleeper.
I can smell life but i do not have it.
I have slept since the great wars to find the world changed.

xD The Master's will is done!

And thank you for the nice comments the posters above! : )

Although I've never seen this guild role-play, or have any right to comment on how they did it.

I'll just leave by saying that the music in the spoiler fits well and that was an awesome recruitment thread! Goodjob, Althalos!

thanks

Arghh, I so want to be a part of this but have no characters that fit the bill.

Peh you only show when you dance ^^ Where is the pic when the Mighty Vigil crushes your army of undead! Had great time with you guys ^^ Even tho yet another of my characters was send near death by you

Haha, well I would but I myself always forget to take screenshots! Next time hopefully And aye indeed, it was really fun ^^

And @ Vaell, thats a shame However! You don't have to fully OOCly join. For example, any character who would slightly be interested in the Cult and their ideals could travel north and ponder about it, and like develop this second anonymous side to their character which nobody will know about it. Like you would sometimes travel north when nobody knows and interact with us as you gain this new side, etc etc^^

That adds more to the cultist theme even! We have some members like that, and soon we will sort of give out anonymous IC invitations to grab those whom would be interested and could develop their mindset into this theme.

So if you would have a character which could be curious enough to learn about us, you could come along and discover if he can be influenced us! If it doesn't work out, it's still no problem since any RP is welcome! And we'd let you walk away. But of course you might umm.. be convicted of being sacrilegous and the living dead will try to hunt you down xD

But nah, we're reasonable and don't like forcing RP unto others, so if you would discover your character does not fit the bill, we'd let you yet walk away. We'll be glad for any RP we can get anyways^^

I've been meaning to post some of our IC ideas for a while, but I have recently been busy thus progress has been slow. But the introduction is complete, and I hope it's a nice read^^ Here goes.

Brother and Sisters of the damned hear me! for too long have our great empire been defiled by the mortal races, for too long have we sit idly by watching this world crumble by the mortals folly, no more!

Join us and together we shall bring stability and peace under one rule, that of the true king of this world. May his will be done!

We are still around and still looking for individuals to join our cause, don't hesitate! We shall keep the RP going in the Plaguelands =)
