[edit] Overview

A (mostly) Stygian based guild. We focus mostly on building a great and majestic city, conquering land in the Border Kingdoms, raiding, spreading our empire over the borders of unknown land and Role Playing (though, this will be optional for those who wants it to be optional, no requierment).

[edit] Info and History

In the shadowy streets of ancient Stygia, where the worship of the Set holds sway over one and all, the serpent is the living image of the true god. Because of this, serpents are held in high regard in Stygian culture.

It is forbidden to harm a snake for any reason, and in the city of Python Society the faithful live in the constant presence of all manner of serpents. Cobras slither unchallenged through the corridors of the temples and vipers sun themselves upon the street corner or in the market square without fear of harm. If a man is bitten by a serpent it is the will of Set, and there is nothing for him to do but seek solace in the temple and let the venom run its course.

The pythons of Stygia continue to grow each year they are alive. Sailors who ply the sacred river Styx claim to have seen specimens as large as thirty feet in length. It is rumored that within the confines of Set’s temples there are pythons that are hundreds of years old, grown so large that they may feed upon a grown man as easily as a lesser snake eats a common mouse.

As quoted from the text above, the serpent in Stygia is ancient and sacred. All players who harm any sort of snake will be punished; such as exile or city cleaning or any other dreadful form for punishment.

Aside from a snake obsession, Python Society also focus on building a majestic and populated city, colored with our enemies' blood and built by the hands of their kings, an image of true power. There will of course also be days of war and conquering in the Border Kingdom as no society can live without an enemy. Not convinced? We also promise Dungeon raids and instances for both newcommers and veterans, there are always room for more.

So if you like the guild or simply need a guild, then PM me on the AoC forums (Shagrath) or send me a mail (mesaidhi@hotmail.com) and I'll be more than willing to grant you access. No requierments for any Stygian character, but if you are a Cimmerian or Aquilonian, please considder writing at least two sentences about your character.

[edit] Recruitment Info

Recruiting all Stygian characters, if recruiting other races, the character will need an interesting background to enter the guild (for the sake of RP!).
