This is a dojo request thread, the actual thread will look much nicer once it's up.
• Dojo Name
Redemption (note: until decided otherwise, this is a name used for OOC purposes only, because current members and characters aren’t even aware yet that they are united, steered by an invisible hand if you get my drift, it’s not like a gang or an army or anything even though the main groups are already organised together, more like a set of ideals and purposes that binds people and characters, and will eventually and ultimately lead them all to band together.)
• Purposes/Goals
Though most members of Redemption have their own personal goals and cravings and some may add to the cause for only that reason and could care less about higher goals, their efforts are masterminded and controlled by the brilliant Ordaris and steered onto the path of the higher goals he addresses. He is a life-long politician and tactician of Rurian ‘behind the scenes’. He doesn’t appear or act in the open much, speaking mostly to his closest subordinates. His craving is power, the power to keep himself and those things and persons dear to him alive and surround himself and them with as much freedom, safety and luxury they require. However he also feels he needs to deserve these things himself and dedicates his life to steering the Dark Elves onto the right path, the path to greatness. With the one disaster to their kind having followed the other, a lot of problems that need to be addressed and thus goals have arisen amongst the Dark Elf race. Amongst other things their cultural integrity, religion and most of all freedom has been put in jeopardy by all kinds of factors, a steady decline of their race’s greatness having set in over the ages since they lost the war and it only having been made worse when the DG conquered half their land. Redemption’s goal is to preserve, regain and expand these things that were taken from them, and though a DG-oriented approach lies at the base of their cravings the clan has clear goals to completely obliterate those enemies that continue to stand in their path and keep them away from their main goals as well. What’s currently on the mind of Ordaris, a man who always thinks in steps:
- The Dark Elf refugees who have fled the cities of Rurian and gone to Linmotar need to be given a safe haven and a chance at proper lives and growing stronger so they can challenge the Divine Guardians when the time comes. This does not include putting land under the control of PC characters or DS players affiliated with the guild. Even though battles may take place in cities, civilian, army, structural and material damage to the cities of Terrak’Lina that may weaken their resolve against the Divine Guardians is to be avoided by all means, this stated in an accord that will later on be agreed upon by the top of the human guild and Ordaris, speaking for Redemption. This includes wiping out the Divine Guardians around the cities before steps are taken to do battle, so, even should the battle lead to disarray within the city, the invaders will not be able to profit from it.
- The criminal human guild must be stopped in their efforts to gain a mainstay on Rurian’s soil and thwart the safety of the Dark Elf refugees by using their influence over the governmental branches of Rurian. The only way this seems to be able to be done is by driving them from the cities of Linmotar and finally destroying their leaders at Bastillion, so Redemption can fix themselves on Rurian and Deshkin once more without enemies at their backs.
- Linmotar’s government, trade, ministers and whatnot should break all contacts with the human guild so they are no longer influenced by them in any way in the way they lead their country, which should be all for the best for the evolution within the country once Redemption leaves their land for good.
- Redemption must build the Dark Elves into a deadly, powerful force that is able to fight effectively against the Divine Guardians, using whatever means necessary, and probably ‘practicing’ against
- The Divine Guardians must first be chased out of Rurian and then driven back to Deshkin. Rurian then has to be rebuilt to its former glory and go even beyond that former glory to rise to true greatness and become a continent upon which any Dark Elf can pride himself when he calls it home, it having to be able to be called home wherever he threads. Cities built and organised so perfectly that they would make passerby’s jaws slack, armies trained so well no other continent would even dare think of war, and a healthy respect for the Chan-Chan religion are amongst the things the Dark Elf empire will have to boast.
- Deshkin, too, has to be cleansed of the DG then by the Dark Elves, and built up to its former glory as well, though in the same fashion applied in Rurian so no cultural or other differences will lead to wars later on. All of those Elves who lived there once who helped reclaim it and have survived all that mess will also be granted back their old homes… under the honour bound they will never raise their weapons against the Dark Elves again.
- Rurian must then turn its attention to the rest of the world, cleanse it of the darkness of the invaders and assure that these campaigns create firm bonds with the other continents and inspire great thankfulness from their side so no hostile measures will be undertaken against the sovereign Dark Elf empire in the future…
- Dark Elves living in the empire will have to be brought up with the heroic stories about the men who realized all this once it is done and be taught the proper morals from it to avoid conflict in the future, and the Dark Elf empire has to have less contact with the outside world, making their land enough of a paradise not for their people to grow interested in other continents.
All this is Ordaris’ redemption plan, but he reveals only his short term plans and is constantly on the look for people with the necessary qualities to help him further his ambitions, for he cannot do all of this on his own despite his brilliance and not everyone applies to the same tasks and goals or is willing to go so far for them as some.
• Location-
Genwe, where the bureau of the assassins of Rurian is, the force Ordaris controls mostly is a mainstay where at least a part of the clan’s agents may be welcomed with open arms, but since Ordaris and his assassins went to Linmotar to take care of the Dark Elf refugees who had fled there and commence his redemption project that is where you will most often find members of Redemption. While they are often on the move to stay at least one step ahead of the human guild and Ordaris has a couple of hideouts scattered over Linmotar the one he reveals to newcomers whose qualities have interested him is a large underground basement in the Raliea underground, where new applicants also have the greatest chance of being noticed and / or addressed by agents of Ordaris, the only hideout he reveals to persons he can’t completely trust yet.
