The Order of Decus

[Talexis]

Basics & Logistics

1. Have you read all of the prerequisites and considerations and do you agree to abide by them?
yes

2. What is the name of your intended Faction?
The Order of Decus

3. What is the expected or intended size of the Faction in terms of player characters?
8 to 12

4. What is the expected or intended size of the Faction in terms of its’ lore concept, and/or including NPCs?
Well, this is an Order established over many acts now. We have built a church in the plantation from act (?) as well as have taken up residence in the Church within Fort Prae in the last act. I would say by now it is decently sizeable.

5. Roleplaying wise, how influential will the Faction strive to be? Will it tend to stick to itself and not make waves, or will it try and become a household name? How will the Faction accomplish this level (or lack thereof) of influence and reputation?

The Order of Decus is a Church faction where we will seek to be involved in everything around us. It is already a household name from previous acts. The Order of Decus shall offer church services, charities, protection of the faithful, hunting of mages, issuing writs to mages (if roleplay from previous acts continue), have dealings with the Consortium and VIC (as per previous RP in past acts), hunt everything that is vile in the lands and buurrrrrrnnnnnnn them with holy flame.

6. Does the Faction have any unique colors, sigils, banners, or signage that uniquely identifies it? What is the significance of it?

The Church has two sets of colours. The clergy wear white and a little red where as the knights wear black and red or white and red depending on what they shall be doing. Wearing white to a culling is worse than wearing white after labour day.

Goals & Future

1. What purpose, direction or goal does the Faction have in the world at large?

The purpose of this faction is to continue as the established player church. We will seek to continue our efforts in the first province to guard the faithful, spread the teachings of Decus, and burn the heretics.

2. What purpose, direction or goal does the Faction have within the quarantined First Province in particular?

To establish safe haven for Decusians, protect Decusians, stabilize the province for the Republic and Church, and burn the witches.

3. Role-playing wise, what would the Faction seek to accomplish within the next six to twelve months? What are their immediate and long-term goals?

This is an interesting question. We will seek to confirm our established RP from past acts and continue it. To set ourselves in a place where we can offer church services and promote the well-being of Decusians while working with like minded factions to fend of the heresies and evils. We will seek to establish an encampment for Decusians by Decusians as well as set up a communal society.

4. Is the Faction famous or infamous for anything in particular? Will it strive to be famous or infamous for anything in the near future?

We are famous for defending Fort Prae, doing dealings with the VIC and Consortium, re-establishing writs with the approval of both VIC and the Consortium, and warring evils.

Concept & Community

1. Please provide the Discord handle of the intended Player Leader of this Faction that will serve to liaison with the Staff in the future:

Talexis#4715

2. Please provide a summary as to the out-of-character purpose of the Faction, what sort of role you feel it will fill in-game (trading guild, PVP, PVM, etc.), and what sort of player character you intend to attract and/or support with the Faction in general.

It will be a PVP/PVM faction with trade elements as we plan on having our own engineers and to be as self sufficient as possible while also aiding to promote other factions that hold true to the Decusian faith.
