The Occult hides themselves in a secret library, hidden under a city. A library, so large that it is almost as big and busy as the city above. The bookshelves are filled with knowledge, which altogehter one human could not be able to read in one lifecicle. On the top floor a long spiral stone stairway takes to an observatory above ground. This is where the Occult arranges meetings and lectures. A reflective well has been constructed in the middle of the room, to include those others, who wish to participate in a conversation.
"Who are we?"
The Occult can be recognised as a council of scholars. We have dedicated ourselves to studying the world patterns, lecturing others and to maintaining balance in this world. We try and stay on friendly terms with other factions, but we won't tolerate mono-dominance in the world. Our main goal is to keep the conquerers, enslavers at bay and strengthen the weak, opressed ones. If we succeed -all sides will eventually be equal. Once we have succeeded, the maintaining of this balance will be easy. The answer to the question "why?" is easy. There is too much unbalance and corruption in this world and it was that same reason, why the Occult formed. Now that we reveal ourselves to the public, we wait for the wheel of time to turn, hope that we can change the present circumstances and shape the future circumstances to our vision.
The Occult accepts 9 races, but 3. Highmen, Undead and Azracks can withdraw from preparing their applications, as they do not and never will qualify as members of the Occult. They will not be accepted because of their nature, cause and religion. Their views will never be equal to ours. Though we don't accept them into the Occult, we don't despise them in any way. In fact, they are important ingredients in what we call balance. To those who wish to join us and qualify, we offer two paths to scholarship. One is a physical path, in which the disciples are trained in strategy, tought, lectured of our views, principals and tested in loyalty. The other path is a spiritual one, in which the acolyte will be tought and converted to our way of thinking.
Members will address eachother as "friend --name--"
non-members are allowed to express their views, unless those views are irrelevant or vulgar.
Members and non-members are advised to speak in a formal way.
