Tharsis . Guilds . NecromancerGuild

A forgotten religon founded by a group of evil mages long in the past. It's use had been shunned and any wizards that practice this black art are looked down upon by even the lowliest of people. This art involves raising the deceased and making them bid to you beckon. Aswell it includes many offensive magics that drain the life from a target and put that life into you. In some guilds this art has been used to raise evil spirits to guide and aid their casters.

Main:

This guild will be a guild that involves skills that either deal with corpses and spirits or with draining life and such. It will be an all around guild allowing both attacking and healing properties but with many differences. For example there isnt't a general heal gcommand like rain or minorheal. But in combat you can be healed by draining the "life force" from the target, or from absorbing the spirit from a corpse.

Skills

The guild will use a variety of skills due to the many different types of magic a necromancer can preform.

Other

Ranks:

There will be a ranking system in the guild. To advance a rank you must do specific things like the necrohelp and initiate commands mentioned below. Once obtaining enough to get promoted a player must go to the high necromancer and he will promote you. The purpose for ranks is that the higher ranks you get the more benefits you recieve also you get to use certain commands.

Rank list:

Guild Ruler - The highest rank for necromancer, gives the most benefits and allows acces to all commands. There can be only 1 of these. And this player works with me directly to improve guild. Circle 10 - Full access to commands. Most benefits. Works with Guild Lord to present new ideas to me. Circle 9 - Full acess to commands. Excellent benefits. Circle 8 - Full access to commands. High benefits. Circle 7 - Full access to commands. Good benefits. Circle 6 - Full access to commands. Average benefits Circle 5 - Full acess to commands. Satasfactionary benefits. Circle 4 - Semi acess to commands. Below average benefits. Circle 3 - Semi acess to commands. Low benefits. Circle 2 - Low acess to commands. Minimum benefits. Circle 1 - Low acess to commands. No benefits.

Initiation:

To join the necromancer guild you must be initiated by a higher member of the guild. This is done using the initiate command learned at glevel 100 and can be accessed at Minor Lord rank. This makes the initiator and the initatiee go through a ceremony. When done the initiator has (if needed) to give the initatee a tour of the guild and teach him/her the rops of Tharsis Gate. Then when the initiatee reaches glevel 35, both of the players must go the the High Master and then the initatee will be dawned as a full necromancer and the initator will get points that lead toward a promotion.

Command: Initate

Initates a player into guild. Then the initiator must (if needed) show the initatee around and teach him/her the ropes.

Command: Necrohelp

Learned at glevel 35. Allows players to read help files written by other necromancers. If rank circle 4+ you are able to write help files about any- thing usefull in general to help the other necromancers. Also the writing of necrohelp files gains points to use for promotions.

Guild box:

A different kind of guild box. It allows only players with glevel 35+ (full necromancers) to have access to withdraw. A record of withdraws and donates are kept so players may check of a fellow necromancer is cheating them and can contact the Guild Ruler to demote the necromancer or temporarily ban his use of the guildbox.

Corpse storage:

A place in the guild tower lets you store corpses for use by you and other necromancers later on. These corpses will last a full reboot unless withdrawn. Also donating corpses earns a players points for promotion.

Promotion:

To be promoted they player must travel to the high necromancer in guild tower when he/she feels that he/she has done lots of work for the guild.

Gwho, gblock, gtalk:

Three basic commands included in all guilds aswell as this one. Just didn't mention if above knowing that these commands are understood.

Titles:

The titles that will be given to guild members when reaching certain glevels:

0-10 : the apprentice sage 10-25 : the young necromancer 25-50 : the skilled summoner 50-85 : the summoner of Spirits 85-120 : the Dark summoner 120-150 : the raiser of Evil 150-200 : the sumpreme Necromancer 200-250 : the advocate of Doom 250-300 : the high Necromancer 300-350 : the Blighter of good 350-400 : the Summoner of Apocolypse 400-500 : the Overlord of Evil 500-600 : the Master of Darkness 600+ : is the Demonic Spirit
