To everyone out there looking for a new concept, I would ask you to consider the Disciples of the Pallid Mask.
It is a primarily Lawful, Primarily Good faction comprised mainly of followers of Jergal, Kelemvor, Lathander, and Amaunator that is dedicated towards ending all forms of Undeath. Don't let that discourage you from trying to get in with any other type of deity! Be creative!
Its precepts are based somewhat on a canon Forgotten Realms order of Jergal followers known as the Companions of the Pallid Mask who hunt down the Undead that are not sanctioned by the church of Jergal, but with a slightly more Crusader bent in that it seeks to eliminate all forms of Undeath. We also perform the standard Mausoleum duties, and seek to immortalize the heroes of the Ziggurat so that they will be remembered.
It is currently a minor faction, and just entering the political arena of the Ziggurat, so if you would like to join a faction that is just starting to make an impact on the server, this would be a good oppurtunity.
However, the faction is not for everyone. A very mature attitude towards PvP is required, since PvP happens very often in this faction. You will be required to actively fight the PC Nightriser faction to the best of your ability, and thus you should always strive to make it fun for them by having the deaths of these PCs have some sort of meaning in the advancement of server storyline, if in fact you do manage to win the PvP!
Now for the fun part that I know all of you are looking to see. The lewtz. This faction receives rewards from the disposal of Necromantic items and for the banishment of Nightriser PCs in the form of ranks up in the faction and Weapon upgrades. While I don't want to spoil what these rewards are, they are great items which help out a great deal when fighting both PC and NPC Undead.
Clerics, Paladins, and Monks will likely have the easiest time being accepted into the faction but any class would likely be acceptable in this faction except druids, given that the faction takes permanent residence in the city.

Bump. Very fun faction, lots of interesting dynamics.
As long as one member still draws breath, The crusade continues. Seek him out- And give forth yourself unto the crusade.
