The Great Catskills Guild & Alliance Thread

This thread is a way for our shards guilds and alliances to introduce and promote themselves to the Catskills Community and visitors from other realms. Our goal is to create a simple, easy to use index for new and returning players as well as people thinking of transferring to Catskills who hope to research what communities are active and what each has to offer. Thank you Zosimus for the great idea.

The replies are to be limited to a single description of your guild (preferably using the template below). This is not a discussion thread. Posts should be made about your guild/alliance only. There are to be no comments about the other posts made here or attacks against them. Any post that doesn't follow the proper format will be removed.

Addendum: We have also made RP Themes part of this thread. We have had a few RP themes crop up and this seemed like a logical place to post information regarding them. We want to show how Catskills is as an RP friendly shard, thank you for your cooperation.

This template is based heavily upon the Baja Roleplayers Guild Template by WarderDragon. I'd would like to thank Amber Witch, Tina Small, Airhaun, Ceno, and Superken for their contributions to the new template format.

Co-Masters/Mistresses:
People who are considered to be in charge or have authority in the absence of the Guild Master/Mistress. List all applicable.​

Faction Affiliation:
Your affiliation doesn't necessarily mean you are actually within a faction.

This is mostly for storyline purposes. If none apply, then list "Not Applicable."​

Gargoyle Storyline Status:
Friendly, Hostile, or Neutral.​

Re: The Great Catskills Guild & Alliance Thread
*The following information is strictly OUT OF CHARACTER*

Guild Name [Abbreviation]:
The Children of Darkness [CoD]

Stone Master:
Lady Pandora

Master/Mistress:
Lady Pandora/Lord Marius

Co-Masters/Mistresses:
None.

Leadership Structure:
As the caretakers of the Divine Parents, Pandora/Marius lead this coven of vampires that have a lingering respect for human life, based on the lore behind the Anne Rice books as well as some from Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles.

Economic Structure:
Barter, trade, and profit. We're business-centric vampires, and as such we absolutely must keep up our appearances and keep our true nature hidden, except from those we trust.


Player-Ran Establishments:
CoD runs several player ran establishments within their territories and often acquire more territories in various places, expanding their empire.


VAMP'S LAIR (or just "the Lair")
Vamp's Lair is our main player-ran city that we named after the excessive spawns during mating season of vampire bats everywhere, and houses the following:
  • The Dark Tower (Guild Tower & HQ)
  • The Church of the Sun (Wedding Chapel, Reception Hall, and Main Garden)
  • The Resting Souls (Graveyard, Mausoleums, and Memorial Gardens)
  • The Millennia Nightclub (A nightclub, with a dance floor and stage)
  • The Bloody Brew (Tavern open to all, alive or undead --- any supernaturals are in masquerade)
  • Haven House and Britain's Public Library, Umbra Division (A small rune library as well as documented history of CoD and player-written books, with an Inn for visitors of the city.)
  • The Romanus Manor (Private Residence of Pandora and Marius)
  • Villa Vizcaya (Private Residence of Armand and Merida)
  • A Thousand Ways Park (For Teleporting to and from our other territories)
  • Legion Headquarters (The military division of our coven)
  • Gateway Park (A teleporting house at Umbra Street near our gated city)
  • House of Dragons (Private Residence of Lord Tanis Dragonbane)
  • House Majere (Private Residence of Morgasse and Kitiara Majere)
  • Secret Underground Lair (known as the Catacombs) for Members of CoD
NORTH TRINSIC (FELUCCA)
CoD has long been the primary owner of the Spirit Tower in Felucca, dating back to the release of the game. This area has once again beenn acquired by CoD and is now known as "Trinsic Hold"... located just out of the city, right by the Shrine of Spirituality. It boasts:
  • The Death Tower (A historic home for us; houses our High Council Meetings)
  • The Spirtdwellers Park (A teleporting house for our other territories)
  • Private Residences
EAST BRITAIN (FELUCCA)
CoD managed to keep some of its old properties in East Britain, and has since added to them in a town we now call "Cindervale" because the trees in Felucca look like they have been burnt off their leaves.
  • Private Residences
UMBRA (West, North, and South)
CoD maintains several leaseholds with the city of Umbra and functions as a protectorate of the city. We currently have in character lease agreements with:
  • The Necromantic Amphitheatre
  • The Bloodletters Healers Guild
  • Critter Pens Stables
  • Wailing Banshee Inn
CoD also has expanded the city of West Umbra to include the following additional buildings just across the west bridge of Umbra:
  • The Trade Center of Umbra
  • The Umbra Mall
  • The Umbra School for the Gifted
  • Umbra's Orphanage & Dormitories
  • Forest View Apartments (Private Residences & Musical Studio)
  • Cityscape Park (Teleporter House)
  • West Park Apartments, Phase I (Private Residences for Lease)
  • West Park Apartments, Phase II (Private Residences for Lease)
  • RBG Headquarters (For the RBG of Umbra)
  • Umbra City Courthouse & Jail
  • Solderini Ltd. Fashion House
SOUTH JHELOM
CoD needed to establish shipping operations to expand their import/export business within the great lands of Trammel and the Lost Lands. Thus the need to lease a port of harbor for us was satisfied by the city of Jhelom when they allowed us to lease their southernmost island, known as South Jhelom. We have obtained leases from the Mayor of Jhelom for the following:
  • The South Docks
  • The Port Warehouses
  • The Performing Arts Center
  • Several of the Small Inns for our Ship Crews



Guild Loyalty:

Characters that join our guild, join as Lawful Good and we will battle "evil" guilds as part of our RPvP alliance. Some basic PvP skills are needed to survive.

Players may join their vampiric (half-breeds, lycans, and warlocks/witches also accepted) role-playing characters to CoD and keep other characters in other guilds or unguilded.

Guild Type:

18+

Hi all, I miss you guys!! Charlie, now known as Sennah T'Nae with Dante Darkheart are considering some rp withing Necropolis, and, while it is still in the beginning stages, would like t know if anyone had any thoughts on it and I can let everyone know how we are doing with it. Dante is cleaning the area and I wanted extend a welcome for you to join in. We are on Atlantic most of the time, but I think this could be a fun thing to do and to bring rp back to a old catskills landmark. ICQ me 176782236. I'll keep you updated!

Charlie the Bloody Brew reopened every Thursday evening at the Lair in Umbra. All of our buildings just over the west bridge of the city have teleported that connect to our city of Vamp's Lair. Don't mind the overpopulation of vampire bats; we're constantly having to call the exterminators! Hehe. Ohhhh and don't miss our Full Moon's Ball on the 19th.

I think we're also going to be returning Market Day in October, so get your hands on some silver. ;)
