[SIZE="5"]The Order of the Broken Sun[/SIZE]


During the first months of the Darkening, a monastic order of Lathanderite devouts began a brazen crusade of vengeance in the name of their beloved fallen deity. They marched deep beneath the earth - a strikeforce of men and women with nothing left to lose; their souls composed only of an anguished, mournful thirst for retribution. Thoroughly embracing the nature of their suicidal mission, they stormed the Lowerdark in a last-ditch effort to slay the great Elder Brains and save the world from the black apocalypse.

They did not succeed - but nor did they die. They
changed.

Now they emerge, pale-faced, white-eyed, tortured by the madness and unimaginable horror they have born witness to - broken and twisted mockeries of their former selves.

Having seen the terrifying, insurmountable truth of their foe, they seek to bring to Man the only true mercy in a world doomed to lightless oblivion.

Death.



Recommended Alignment: Evil
Recommended Race: Human
Recommended Class: All - including fallen paladins, though you'll likely need to app for an alignment shift.


This group will primarily revolve around a concept of twisted chivalry. I've always liked the idea of bastardised evil mockeries of Arthurian heroes - these characters will be nihilistic, insane knights believing they are doing Mankind a kindness by eradicating them from existence rather than let them meet their fate as a slave race to a cosmos-spanning Illithid empire - which is what they have seen in their nightmarish, fevered horrorscape beneath the earth.

If you think this could be pretty cool, get in touch with me and we'll hash out some characters. Considering the nature of the group, don't expect ANY friends at all outside of the core and a LOT of combat.
