Cormyr and the Dalelands

This is an idea for a guild of ethically-unbridled knowledge-seekers, students of bizarre or taboo information, specialists in the abstruse, the occult, and the forbidden. Necromancers, spiritists, demoniacs and diabolists, secret-seekers, and historians of the lost, the banished, and the forgotten. Operating under the aegis of unified cooperation, seeking to combine our capabilities and knowledge to produce a result that is greater than the sum of its parts. Members are expected to be morally dubious at best, but willing to acknowledge the cooperative potential of combined effort and a respect for the sanctity of the accuracy and usefulness of collected lore, discovered information, and the desire and ability to expand upon the unified knowledge of the organization.

In OOC terms, this is a guild for neutral- and evil-aligned PCs focused on the gathering, collecting, studying, verifying, and proliferation of the kind of knowledge and dark lore that good-aligned types tend to hide away behind sealed chambers, ancient libraries, and long-lost ruins. Participating members should be interested in taking morally- and ethically-disagreeable actions to discover, gain, and gather this information, while keeping in mind that the collection, verification, and sharing of the information within the organization itself is to be respected by all participants - deceit is a useful tool against those on the outside, but for those who have joined the effort of gathering knowledge to be written within the Black-Bound Tome it is a distraction at best, what goes within the vaults should be praised for its accuracy and usefulness.

It's primarily as such going to be focused on wizards, bards, priests of strange gods and dark powers, knowledge-heavy or ruin-delving rogues, warlocks, and so forth, but membership is (at this time) not intended to be limited: all these caster and skill-monkey types are going to need muscle and protection from the dangers of the places that store this kind of lost knowledge and the defenses that will no doubt have been placed upon it. It's also highly expected and to some degree necessary that potential members not be in poor report in Yulash or the surrounding environs, as cooperation with the city will inevitably be necessary to achieve our goals.

Interested? Please post your character's name and any other info you think necessary or important below! (Example: "Dioufn Khwen Xul Ja Iztlim, Diabolus Pale Master, Necro-Illusionist, Oneiromancer, Occultist, Spirit-speaker, refugee Denizen of Leng, and all-around scholar of the bizarre.") Once we have enough interested people, we can get started on making an actual player guild. =)

I'm interested

Character Name: Bran Cordain ( more info in PMs )

I have one character who would be interested in joining and another that would be a perfect fit but might not join unless approached.

Zurtch the Foul (NE Human Druid/Wizard/Theurge) would be interested in joining to further his studies into the poxes, pestilences, and plagues of yore for the glory of Talona.

Lystra (CN Sun Elf Sorceress) might be willing to help out if approached.  A worshiper of Oghma (and Eldath, in a very twisted and probably heretical way) and a genuine sociopath who cannot innately comprehend morality, ethics, or empathy, she has a great interest in furthering the understanding of Enchantment and Transmutation magic.  This includes the taboo and off-limits aspects of it that require testing most Mystrans would consider unethical.  Practical and self-serving.
