The Creed of the Dragon's Eye

Before all else your fealty is sworn to your guild. Braking fealty without seeking a master for release is the equivalent of treason among your kin. the guild is like your family, once sworn we will always support you, even should your heart take you elsewhere.

 

A broken oath without release is penalty to being outcast and hunted depending on how severe the treason against the group.

Though the guild stands as a community of its own, our level of trust goes hand in hand with how loyal you are and what you bring to the guild.

 

Your title within the guild does not need to be known to any outside the guild. It is up to you if you want to advertise your status to others in the land, but please respect those that keep it a secret, we have our spys and allies who are honorary guardians, who will not want to advertise thier loyalties as it may prove a problem.

Before you have taken the oath you are an initiate. You are not trusted at this point with the true secrets of the guild but are taught and watched in an attempt to see your potential and find your worth, and possibly your nitch. (rp we are watching your role playing skill, and what sort of personality your character holds)

When your loyalty is proven you will raise to the title of guardian of the eye, at which point you will work with a number of the Masters at several arts as well as in improving on your own core skills.(rp depending upon the skills you have and what you bring to the rp this will be a set amount of time, one lesson for three master is the minimum requirement for rp sake since I know not everyone wants to spend all thier time 'training' and want to get to the real fun of it.)

At this point to move on you have to prove yourself a capable teacher as well as student, and will be obligated to look for potential members. rp- wise you will have to set into motion a plan to make some interesting roleplay, gain prestige for the guild, and bring to the group some important information or contacts that could lead to such. With time and commitment, and completion of the tasks set before you, you'd come to be one of the council if you prove a strong leader, a Master if you prove stronger in another specific skill, or a priest or a priestess if that is your calling.

There is all possibility of becoming all or just one. The matter of the priesthood is still under works, but that is the core of our power, concerning the eye of the dragon, the treasure for which we are named and over which we hold council as well as swear our oaths. The faith is focused on the power within this stone than would bind us to each other stronger than the ties of blood.

 

 

Specific to the Dragon's Eye...

The dragon's eye is a soul stone from an ancient dragon, and though he is  long dead his soul and the magic within the stone still lingers. In times of great need a master of the forsaken can call upon the powers of the stone to protect them or heal them, or whatever they need as long as it is nessicary and not just to use the stone, the consequence of using the stone makes the person who used it a little more draconic. thier senses become a bit sharper and thier appearance may become minutely more serpant like, but if they only use the stone a few times these changes will not be noticable to the naked eye. If they abuse it and use it too often they will eventually become more like the dragon who's soul they protect than themselves, and not only will thier appearance change but thier definition of self will change as well as thier tendancies. A vegitarian would hunger for meet, for the hunt of catching thier prey, someone who dislikes killing to begin with will find themselves picking fights, and so on and so forth, and even those who care nothing for material things will become possesive of thier posessions seeking to make a greater hoard of treasure for themselves through whatever means possible.
