Initiates of the Flame
"Great power is realized when your purest intention for attaining it lies in the noble service of others"
Flamsterd
This group seeks to perpetuate the original vision that the great mage, Flamsterd, had for the Moonshaes. The Initiates are said to have been formed by the master himself from his original faithful apprentices. While most of them fell victim to power struggles and petty bickering and consequently Flamsterd’s wrath, a few stayed faithful to his vision of using their powers unselfishly to benefit their island. Some of his apprentices survived their teacher’s wrath and sought to redeem themselves by extending his vision to all of the Moonshae Isles. Once an order strictly of wizards, their message has begun to resonate with many of the heroes of the Moonshaes and now includes members of every skill.
Join the initiates if...
• application of lawful doctrine is important to you
• you like helping others bring order to their lives
Philosophy
The Initiates are rigidly lawful with noble intentions, but their application of law doesn’t always make sense to others. They believe that a balance of forces in the mul- tiverse is the key to the survival of all. If the forces of any one power faction becomes too strong, they take steps to bring balance.Goals
• The Initiates seek to use their talents for the general benefit of the Moonshaes and its residents. • They encourage humble tribes and lesser clans to maintain their individual identities and holdings. • They oppose falling completely under the domination of a single leader, believing that a division of power is the best solution.How do i fit in?
It is not unusual for Initiates to have more than one directive from their organizational superiors. Initiates are expected to check in with their local leaders in whatever part of the isles their assignments have taken them to ensure they aren’t stepping on another initiate’s work. If a conflict arises, rank is expected to settle the matter.Inside the initiates
Since the order doesn’t directly benefit from divine guidance, the interpretation of the unjust, unethical, and corrupt falls to the order’s high council, known as the Inner Chamber. There are nine consuls that comprise the Inner Chamber, one for each of the major islands or island groups. Each reside on the island they represent, though their location on Oman and Gwynneth are not widely known. Their towers are found in the capitals of the other islands. Although he hasn’t been seen in a century, it’s rumored that the wizard Flamsterd still magically lives and guides the members of the Inner Chamber from his underwater sanctuary. If it isn’t true, the Inner Chamber isn’t letting on, preferring to perpetuate the threat that the archmage will seek revenge on anyone that attacks the Initiates. politics The Initiates strive to retain a neutral standing in regard to the politics of the Moonshaes. Despite this fact, their agents are often involved in the various disputes in an attempt to maintain a balance. They’re allies to everyone in the fight against the invading Unseelie fey and shadow forces whom they see as outsiders with no business in this realm. When they know about these types of forces, they make it a point to go after them, which gives them a great deal of political traction with the other organizations and governments.Resources
The initiates’ greatest resource is their island of Flam- sterd, governed by the High Councilor of the Inner Chamber. Naturally, the Initiates wish to closely monitor who is allowed to reside here, but because much of the island is still bleak and desolate, it’s difficult. The initiates also maintain what they refer to as “missions” all over the archipelago. They do not espouse a faith but do offer solace to the innocent. The missions are more of a recruiting outpost than anything. Because they offer help to those in need, they’re welcome in most locations except small Northlander villages where they are thought of as a cult.Если вы хотите что то добавить или присоединится к команде редакторов - пишите комментарии
