CLERGY OF THE MOTH

. Only 'neath Mother's wings are we whole .

Free Company

(OOC)

CLERGY OF THE MOTH is a Roleplaying and Casual Content free company based on Balmung. We are a Grey-lore adherent company, which means we respect the canon of the world and create our own stories in the grey areas of the established world - things that are possible but haven't been explicitly touched on.This company deals with SENSITIVE THEMES and encourages those looking to interact with us to ask about potential trigger warnings if they're susceptible to bad brain juices.Characters within the company can range around any power level, but the group itself is balanced around Low to Upper-Mid range power levels.Members are encouraged to assist one another with content as they see fit, and no one is obligated to drop everything they're doing to join something else, but remember: a community is worth only as much as you're willing to put into it.Alt characters are accepted and welcomed, we have no rules in regards to how many characters someone can have in the company, and OOC ranks are available for those who don't roleplay.That being said: we do not tolerate RP/Content griefers, assholes, gooners, or elitists. If you consider yourself "anti-woke" or complain constantly about cultures being represented, you are not welcome here. If your opening remarks to someone involve sex, you are not welcome here.We write villains; don't be one OOC.

The House of Flies; Mother's Devout

(IC)

When knowledge feels grossly out of reach...
...and your eyes glimmer with the potential of fires unkindled,
Do you act?

If the answer to this question is a simple yes, then you may find some use within the ranks of the Clergy of the Moth. Nourishing those with macabre interest, with dark desires, with a hunger for more than the simple day-to-day routines, the clergy offers precisely what you're looking for. All you must do is reach out and take your prize. We offer no handouts, no free rides, but to those who have the determination and drive to take what is theirs, the Clergy of the Moth will provide an ample platform.Safe from the persistent and overbearing watch of the city-states, deep within the abbey known as the House of Flies rests a place for all types to shed from their cocoons. Hidden away from would-be heroes and do-gooders, the abbey stands as a sanctuary for mongrels to monsters, kindling to flame, and the unholy to devout. You will find purpose, meaning, and that long-forgotten truth that evades those of walled minds, those so stuck in their routine that they can hardly see, much less hear.You will grow, you'll evolve into something else entirely. You'll become that which you've always been destined to become. Be it a charismatic force, a destructive realmrazer, a proficient blade, or simply one to fold the sheets of your betters. There is a purpose for all within the ranks of the clergy.Have you sinned? Slain? Deceived? Deprived?You're among sisters, watched over by the moonlight of Mother's eyes.

TENETS

(IC)

  • I. OBEY: Do as you're told in regards to your tasks. You're here to learn and grow, to become something greater than you started as. Sniveling brats and those who lack ambition are quick to become slaves.

  • II. ASSIST: If one of your fellow Devout requires assistance with a task and you have the means, do what you can. Collaboration will only make you stronger, & it's your job to understand when it no longer will.

  • III. LOYALTY: Your companions within the clergy are your family & potential steps in your ascent. If an outsider is causing problems with them, step in and show that filth why you're one of Mother's Devout.

  • IV. RISE: Take initiative and show that you deserve to be where you are. If you want strength, it isn't given to those who can't claim it. Become greater, or embrace the shackles of your new fate.

  • V. PAY ATTENTION: You are here to learn and grow; to waste the opportunity offered to you by our dear Mother is no better than spitting in her face.

  • VI. BY ANY MEANS: Find your talents and carve your path by any means. If this means an ancient, dangerous tome, a hell-scape of a dungeon, or backstabbing a friend, so be it. Be aware of the consequences that may come with the betrayal of our Mother.

  • VII. CHAOS: Burn it all to the ground if that's your wish, create strife and sow turmoil amidst the city-states. Don't get caught, the clergy will deny all knowledge of your existence until a moment arrives where we can act.
