There is already a few of us playing Elothean paladins and barbarians who have joined the house of the steel dove, and are RPing together down in Shard...




We are RPing our Elotheans along these lines:

"Elothean society is many-tiered and complex. There is one supreme leader -- called the Ferdahl -- who is viewed as the ruler of the Elothean Houses, and then below him or her is "the Three" -- the political leader, the seer judge, and the protectorate. The political leader deals with all matters foreign and interior, the seer judge oversees the laws of the land, and the protectorate commands the armies. The Ferdahl does not rest on his or her laurels, however. They often command the armies alongside the protectorate, write laws, and perform ambassadorial functions. If the reign does not go well, it is the Three, not the Ferdahl, who are to blame, and it is rare that an Os Dira'ora is accused or put on trial. In the history of the Elothean, the Ferdahl have committed ritual suicide or gone into exile -- turning their diadem over to an heir -- before dishonoring the Supreme Title."

Of course hand in hand with that is:

"First loyalty to your Ferdahl.
Second to the Three.
Third to your House.
Fourth to your children.
Fifth to your mate.
Last to yourself."

and finally:

"House of the Steel Dove -- This is the most militant of the Houses, producing the finest Barbarians and Paladins of the Eloths. Mostly patriarchal, the Steel Dove have flint gray eyes and brown hair, occasionally producing a blazing red and a smattering of black-haired children. Entrance requires an oath of blood, whereupon the initiate must cut his or her arm without flinching and swear to protect the clan second, and the Eloth nation first. The House of the Steel Dove is from whence the guards of the Ferdahl are chosen. If a member ever shows cowardice or fails to act when justice is required swiftly and surely, he or she can be thrown out of the House upon a vote of the House's Elders. They may never be allowed back in."

With that said the house already exists. We would like to fill it with RPers who like what they see above and are willing to commit to RPing it. There is lots of squiggle room within what is written above, and within the two guilds to create an individual character... so don't worry about being pressed into a tight fitting mold.


If you already have a Elothean Pala or Barb, and want to come ..come on. If you are interested in rolling up one (tired of the Elothean Moony, Empath, War Mage scence) IM ladycamria (thats not me) and talk a bit to us, I don't have a problem outfitting folks if I think they are going to stick around.

Obviously the newly rolled will have to get to the point hunting wise to be ready for Kobolds, Jackals or Grass Eels... After that there is a pretty good progression through the ranks...
