Joining a Guild

[Sojourn]

Guys, this server supports alot of the FR guilds that you would see on the Sword Coast. Among them are:

• The Flaming Fist
  
• The Shadow Thieves of Amn
  
• The Harpers
  
• The Red Wizards of Thay
  
• The Knights of the Shield
  
• The Twisted Rune
  

I think now that we are starting to get an established player base, it would be good to start incorporating guilds and factions into the server to improve roleplay. If any of these guilds is suitable or interests your character, then contact a DM (me or Ice) and we'll work something out with you. Any questions / comments / concerns feel free to post here.

Oh and if you're looking to join a secretive guild (Harpers, Twisted Rune, Shadow Thieves) then send us a PM instead of posting here to remain anonymous and prevent metagaming.

any guilds for paladins or do gooders not listed

[Sojourn]

Paladin Orders are orders specific to their deities. There is no order of "general Paladins" out there or any knighthoods not specific to God or throne. If you are looking to join a knighthood or an order of paladins, simply choose a God, and we could work something out for you in joining the paladin order of your God. All PC paladins of a specific God will be in the same guild. If there will be more temples built in - like ones for Helm, or Tyr, or some other deity, then we could use that as a base for the Order. Right now there is a temple of Ilmater and though its not 100% finished yet, it's there and it is possible to use that for rp if you're an Ilmaterian paladin. Some prominent paladin orders you could join are:

• Brotherhood of Those Who Smile in the Face of Death: This order serves as the militant arm of the church of Osiris in Mulhorand.
  
• Hammers of Grimjaws: This order is comprised of the very elite of Tyr's paladins.
  
• Holy Warriors of Suffering: An order of paladins sponsored by the church of Ilmater.
  
• Knights of Mystic Fire: A knightly order of paladins who are sponsored by the church of Mystra.
  
• Knights of the Merciful Sword: Paladins who are dedicated to Tyr.
  
• Knights of Holy Judgment: Paladins who are dedicated to Tyr.
  
• Order of the Chalice: The order of the demon-slaying paladins.
  
• Order of the Radiant Heart: A lawful good aligned order of knights located in Amn. They venerate Torm and Helm.
  
• Vigilant Eyes of the God: This is the order of the paladins who worship Helm, all of whom may join this guild after squirehood.

I think you may also find something with Knights of the North (arch rivals to the Zhentarium) and maybe the Order of the Unicorn ( I know I made some of those notable NPC's from that order.. dont know who they are though)

Later factions that may come into play since I have items done for them already are:

-The Zhentarium
-Knights of the North
-Cult of the Dragon

Though as Sojourn stated above there are plenty of guilds to get into. Cheers guys!

I agree it's a good time to go ahead and start the guilds, even though quite a few will be homeless for a few weeks. I'll post all of the one's I have planned later. One thing we need to think about is how many total we want to have. If we add every known guild under the sun, there won't be enough members of each to effectivley RP them without a DM around.

[DEV Jlf2n]

Here are the guilds I propose we use for now. If players want a choose a different guild from these we can present them with the additional options and let them start recruiting members to get it founded.

Guilds:
- The Flaming Fist

- The Zhentarium

- The Merchants League

- The Red Wizards

- The Harpers

- The Cult of the Dragon

- The Thieves Guild (they are not part of the shadow thieves, but that can be changed if needed and wanted.)

- The Knights of the Shield ( I'm still unsure if they should be used.)

- The Knights of the Unicorn

- The Iron Throne

You can learn more about these guilds HERE.

On top of these, we can also have Paladin Orders/Church Guilds specific to the religions. The religions used can be found HERE

[Iceshard]

[calantyr]

I'm looking to get my character Calantyr al'Thantos into the Flaming Fist if someone can help me.

Lawful Neutral warrior-type, very law abiding and impartial.

[Iceshard]

Cal, Ill be the one prob for now to talk to while the other guys pick up the DM client. Once they get to know it though Im sure any DM would be willing to help you out.
Cheers,
Ice

[calantyr]

Cool stuff.

I'm in the GMT timezone, is that going to be a problem getting hold of you in-game?

[Iceshard]

Nope, I have seen you on a few times.. but I was in as a player at the time. Soon there will be more EST DM's and a couple EU DM's so youll always have someone to catch

-Ice

[Iceshard]

Ok so far I have gotten more interest in the Twisted Ruin than in the Cult of the Dragon. We may have both at some point but I think Ill be focusing more on the Ruin (Undead, Necromancers and such) than the Cult....though both are undead/Necromancers, one focuses more on Dragoliches and Necromancer baby sitters first... with no Dracolich model its hard to do such things lol.

[norikcain]

I am wishing to join a guild with one of my characters but cannot figure out the username the mail is sent to...I tried DM Iceshard and also Iceshard but neither seem to work. what excactly am i meant to type?

[Iceshard]

You can simply click on the little envelope with letter icon under my portrait and it sets up the PM for you.. all you need to do is type a message and a subject.
