"What are crime, treachery, dissssloyalty but myssteries? And I do ssso love a mysstery"
Backup concept for Empire, since the Militia and Vigilance games look fun and in need of a shake. Also some pretty big bounties for catching murderers.
IC brief:
- The Shadow of Wyr are a Hakima coven and investigative business based out of a teahouse in Lucksprings, where the many casinos offer excellent pickings for catching cheats, thieves and con-artists. They know that a reputation for honesty is among the greatest asset the Freeborn possess, and like all treasure, it should be guarded.
- The Shadow use divinations, rumours and good, old-fashioned guard work to root out the dishonest and criminal.
- They do not typically attend mass battles, considering that the role of a guard is to protect the people and serve justice, whereas the role of a soldier is to destroy the enemy in front of them. To blur these lines risks becoming to quick to exact Vengeance rather than Law.
- They may however join more investigative missions, and many of them are members of the Anvil Militia or local guard forces when not performing coven duties.
- Mostly Night Magic, possibly picking up some Day or Autumn for the Who Owns This style of rituals.
OC brief:
- The aim here is to pick up some people who want to play competent, fairly sneaky detectives and hit the heretic cults/PvP? crime/corruption plot.
- Playing in Stoke has been enjoyably gung-ho but and I'm looking to avoid the battles for a bit and have more time to plot and scheme. This is not a non-combat group, expect arrests, quests etc but just not a requirement to attend the big fights.
- This will be happening when Pete Keeper finally dies, I am happy to build up the coven over time from people who are interested. If you want in, have a chat with me and have some backup Freeborn kit.
"Tell us who got you those loaded dice, sssshithead. The law may not let me beat the answer out of you, but the Conclave won't lift a finger against me for curssssing a cheat"
