DOGMA

Dogma of the Chosen Blood Warrior

War is the ultimate expression of individual power, and only through battle and death can one realize the respect of one's comrades. Hone your fighting skills constantly and teach those who will follow into the fray. Never give or receive quarter, and die amidst the bloodlust of battle against overwhelming odds. Cultivate as many different weapon tricks and combat maneuvers as a spider has arms, and never fear that hidden venom, like a secret vengeance waiting to strike, will serve you ill.The Warrior of Chosen Blood is to exact his wrath in concert with his Brothers, defending their blade arm with his own shield. He will not walk alone, for his fellow Selvetarglin are with him.His discipline will never be broken, for he is the master of wills. The charge of a Chosen Blood Warrior can change the face of battles. His blade will slay Captains and Kings alike. The Demon Spider upon his shield and breast will inspire fear in his prey and give him strength. He will give Blood to Selvetarm, and the Spider Prince will in turn show his favor.

SELVETARM

Selvetarm: Origins

SelvetarmAlso known as: Champion of Lolth, Thane of Lolth, the Spider That Waits, the Spider Demon, Prince of the Aranea, Lord of the Venomire Cruel and malicious by nature, Selvetarm cares only for battle and destruction. The Champion of Lolth harbors a deep hatred for all living things, including his dominating mistress, and the only beauty he can appreciate is a well-honed and deadly fighting style. Selvetarm can exhibit a great deal of patience while waiting for prey to fall into an ambush he has set, but he prefers the wild abandon of battle frenzy to a careful and deliberate attack.Selvetarm is the Champion of Lolth and the patron of drow warriors. Seen as the embodiment of unequaled fighting prowess, Selvetarm is worshiped by few drow in the Underdark. The Spider Demon is also venerated by many of the aranea of the Spider Swamp where he is known as Zanassu, the Spider That Waits. A few drow in the forests can be counted as his followers as well as a handful of drow and lesser races seeking any advantage to advance themselves politically, round out the ranks of Selvetarm's faithful.Selvetarm is the offspring of an ill-fated tryst between Vhaeraun and Zandilar the Dancer, a demipower once venerated by the elves of the Yuirwood. When the Dancer's elven followers began to falter in the face of relentless assaults by Lolth's minions, Zandilar sought out the Masked Lord and seduced him in an attempt to either gain information or elicit his direct assistance in battling the Spider Queen. The Masked Lord betrayed Zandilar and imprisoned her, and only the timely assistance of Bast, an errant Mulhorandi demipower, allowed the Dancer to escape. Selvetarm was birthed shortly thereafter when the weakened Zandilar voluntarily merged her essence with that of Bast, creating the goddess now known as Sharess.Selvetarm walked a solitary way for many centuries, spurning both of his parents, for he was not wholly given over to evil but neither was he aligned with the forces of light. Eventually his path crossed that of his aunt, Eilistraee, and he began to appreciate the goodness of the Dark Maiden, as exhibited in her teachings and deeds. By way of Selvetarm's redemption, Eilistraee hoped to begin to heal the breach between the majority of dark elves and the Seldarine. The Dark Maiden's hopes were dashed, however, by the insidious plotting of Lolth.The Queen of Spiders had long resented the existence of Zanassu, a minor Abyssal Lord with pretensions of suzerainty over spiders, nearly as much as she disliked the possibility of Eilistraee winning an ally-Selvetarm-among the pantheon of the drow. When the Spider Demon lost much of his power after a conflict on the Prime, Lolth convinced Selvetarm to destroy Zanassu and seize the Spider Demon's burgeoning divine power. She did so by suggesting to Selvetarm that a victory would increase his personal power and win him favor in the eyes of Eilistraee, whom he greatly admired. While Selvetarm prevailed in battle over the Spider Demon, the absorption of Zanassu's wholly evil and chaotic nature overwhelmed Selvetarm's nascent beneficial aspects and weakened him sufficiently that he could not escape the traps by which the Spider Queen bound his will tightly to her own.

WORSHIPPERS

Of Selvetarglin

Selvetarm's clergy are known collectively as the Selvetarglin, which is drow for warriors of Selvetarm. Titles used by Selvetarm's clergy vary widely across temple hierarchies, but those used below the surface include: Edge of the Axe, Crush of the Mace, Steel of the Blade, Tusk of the Boar, Hunger of the Swarm, Claw of the Cave Bear, Talon of the Wyrm, and Bloodlust of the Berserker. High-ranking priests of the Spider Demon have unique individual titles. Specialty priests are known as spiderswords.Selvetarm's faithful spend most of their days guarding fortifications, honing their fighting skills, participating in patrols, guarding slave caravans, and getting into fights over status and petty slights. Many spend much of their time training other warriors in the art of war. While the Selvetargtlin are rightly known for their skill in battle, the teachings of the faith place little emphasis on tactics or strategy and thus few members of Selvetarm's clergy achieve a high military rank.Selvetarm's faithful were at one time expected to observe the rituals of Lolth, as directed by her priests. Those who have recently emigrated from the Underdark have abandoned this practice, so far without divine retribution, and are said to be praying for guidance in new ways of honoring the Spider Demon. Selvetarm does expect all who take up arms in his name to cry out his name in the bloodlust of battle as they deliver the killing blow to a foe. Since there is always the chance that any attack will be a fatal one, the Selvetargtlin tend to constantly scream out their god's name during a battle. Every spring, the Order of Chosen Blood celebrates its Holy Day known as Unification Day. This day honors Selvetarm for his favor in dominating what is now called: the Blood-spire Mountains.

RECRUITING

Application for Recruitment

During the evaluation phase, the Recruit will be trained for line combat and Darkon warfare. Though we do not allow Recruits to participate in Warfare until they gain full membership, the Order does expect their attendance during such actions.

Those that wish to become a Chosen Blood Recruit must submit an application.This entails an email containing your name, age, sex and (if applicable) previous in charcter names, caracter class levels and Darkon country affiliations.

They will be expected to adhere to our code of conduct, dress code, naming and character class selection policy. Dues are not manditory from recruits.

All recruits shall have an evaluation period of indefinite time (but no less than six events). When the Order determines it is time for evaluation, all active members will speak for or against the recruit. Should any of the Officers deem the Recruit unworthy, they shall be dismissed from service.

Recruits are not given a choice of character class, weapon or armor. The needs of the Order will determine this. Possession of the needed kit may aid in selection, but the absence of it will not dissuade recruitment. The Order will reserve the right to reassign Recruits or Warriors to better serve the needs of Chosen Blood.

Recruit's tabards and shields may be provided until the Recruit is seen as able to supply their own, or dues are drawn to provide for them. Any and all equipment made/purchased by or for the Order will remain with the Order.

All previously estabished Darkon players wishing to join Chosen Blood must from henceforth play a drow persona fitting to the ethos of Chosen Blood. The player must only play as his/her Chosen Blood approved character so long as they are affiliated with the Order.

-Chosen Blood currently seeks able bodied, armored linefighters and those who have mage characters of noted level/skill, or are wiling to become one.

"Loyalty is my Armor, Discipline is my shield and Hate is my Weapon."
