== '''Our Pitch''' ==

Are you a lost soul who is carelessly cast out of every village by those unrelenting exorcists? Perhaps you’re a shaman craving forbidden power and ultimate riches, or a researcher aspiring to uncover the secrets behind Shartak's many amulets? Maybe you’re simply a mortal pursuing the secret of lichdom, life beyond death?

Then join us in our quest. We are not the black mages we are painted to be! Certainly our arts may involve using spirits to harm the living but we do patch them up afterwards..

Our knowledge of the spirit world is second to none. We tirelessly work at the fore-front of island research in all areas relating to the undead, amulets and shaman abilities.

..And let’s face it, a group of spirit allies can raise hell when you’re planning a town raid.

'''Should you wish to join us feel free, membership is open and we welcome those from all walks of life, outsiders and natives. The guild is also available to hire - should you require a spiritual assault, simply contact us on the forum.'''

== '''Definitions''' ==

* The Necromancer’s Guild includes an elite fighting force known as the '''Death Knights'''. They are responsible for fulfilling contracts or bounties and slaying those on the guild’s KOS list. They are lead by the Chief Death Knight, who assigns targets and ensures the KOS list is kept up-to-date.

* The '''Ferryman''' or '''Ferrywoman''' plays an important role in the guild. He or she helps others to journey from the Land of the Living, to the Land of the Dead. Essentially, this is done by striking them down but only those who wish to become spirits for reasons of their own choosing. They must verbalise their request. Remember, this is a service that the Ferryman performs for the guild, so remember to thank them - don’t stab them!

* '''Guild Diplomats''' are those who find words come easily to them. They can express the intentions and beliefs of the guild and as so, are able to speak for the guild when the need arises.

* '''War Veterans''' are highly respected in the guild. They fought alongside the Guild Master and defended the guild policies, during the times of war. As such, they maintain higher positions within the guild.

== '''The Wars''' ==

The Necromancer War, referred to here as ('''NW'''), began during January 2008. A brief summary will be given purely as a record, but there is a more in-depth analysis [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/Wiksik_PKers/War_Against_The_Necromancers here].
There is also a full record collected by [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=10352 Big Kahuuna] [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/User:Big_Kahuuna/Sandbox/spirithut_feud here].

“January saw Wiksik in the grip of war. Wiksik villagers, led by {{profile|13082 |Black Fang}} (later known as the Grand Tyrant of Wiksik) turned on the Necromancer‘s Guild. The reason for this was a Necromancer murdering Black Fang for slaughtering an outsider within Wiksik territory. Despite the guild pointing out that this was not a result of guild policy, but the actions of a lone Guild member, this led to the villagers and shaman of Wiksik declaring war upon the guild. The main argument they had with the guild was the Guild Policy of killing natives who practiced exorcism in the Medical hut (renamed the Spirit Hut by Necromancers) in opposition to the Necromancers' beliefs. The War lasted approximately 11 days, before the guild apologised and agreed to edit some policies.”

The second war involving the guild took place during February 2008 and was fought against the Stamp Out Shamanism clan led by

{{profile|11429 |Um Bongo}}. This is here referred to as ('''SOSW'''). Once again Big Kahuuna performed a large service to the guild by keeping records of the events [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/User:Big_Kahuuna/Sandbox/spirithut_feud here].
“SOS were against the Necromancers Guild’s use of spirits in the medical hut and took issue with the guild. Their guild members began to repeatedly attack several of our own without provocation. Etherdrifter eventually declared war on the SOS guild. He was aided in the war by several key guild members - Ziggyirked, Bruce Lee, Cheesesteak and AliceBeth slaughtered the SOS members at every chance. They themselves were also cut down many times. Bhaal and Vortex healed the wounded and fought for peace through diplomacy. Stamp Out Shamanism eventually degenerated to a feeble parody of the guild, named the Necrophiliacs Guild, when some members of SOS became disillusioned with their guild and left. The Necrophiliacs Guild included notable members such as Um Bongo, {{profile|13175 |Shining Willies}},

{{profile|13906 |Hugh Jorgan}}, {{profile|14112 |Mike Oldfield}}, {{profile|4099 |Pianoman}}, and the truly pathetic {{profile|14252 |Ethernoobster}}, who were all rewarded with a stint on the KOS list. Some names have since been removed but Um Bongo has been given a permanent KOS status. Eventually, they all buggered off and Um Bongo left for York.

== '''Guild Law''' ==

These are the laws of our guild, their penalties vary according to the crime. Punishments are harsh but fair, there is warning before any serious action is taken and every death sentence will be accompanied by a reason. Laws are only applicable in Wiksik and Spirit Huts at the moment. There are specific laws for each branch.

'''The laws concerning sacred Spirit Huts: '''

* To exorcise from this hut carries with it a death sentence, no more no less. Repeat offence (3 or more) will result in a month long KOS being placed on the offender's head.
* To kill a guild member in this hut (outsider or native) carries a death sentence, a single death for a single death. Repeat offences (3 or more) will result in a month long KOS being placed on the offender's head.
* Murder by Wailing is permitted in the hut, it is a risk you take in its use. Attempts to take revenge for a wail related spirit hut death will be considered as murder within the hut and punished accordingly.
* Murder by Malevolence is not permitted, the penalty is applied to the invoker and not the spirit.

'''The laws concerning Wiksik: '''

* Invocation for the purpose of Exorcism is forbidden if the spirit invoked was residing in the spirit hut during the time of Invocation. For a first offence a verbal warning is given. If a further offence is committed after receiving the warning, a death penalty is applied for each invoke (of a spirit from the hut) and exorcism (of said spirit from the hut). This crime will never result in a KOS unless there are extreme circumstances.
* Murder of a guild member is frowned upon by the guild. However, if the guild member was committing a crime then there will be no retribution (I.e. if a guild member murders you, you have every right to kill them in return). If the guild member is peaceful and is not violating any law it will be treated similar to a murder within the Spirit Hut and punished accordingly. It is sadly notable that outsider guild members are not protected by this law much to the guild's regret. In these cases however the guild will not consider it a crime for the guild member to take vengeance against his/her killer.
* Assault of a guild member is not punished unless the guild member in question is killed later on as a direct result of the assault. Wailing is not constituted as assault.
* Malevolence in the Medical Hut that results in the death of a guild member is punishable by guild law by the guild. Malevolence in the Medical Hut that results in the death of a non-guild member is punishable but not by the guild.
* Wailing that results in death is not punishable by the guild.

'''Guild policy regarding Outsiders:'''

The Necromancers guild will not attack outsiders in Wiksik, but nor will we defend them.
Specifically:
* Hostile outsiders (targeting Wiksik or the guild), such as those on the KOS list, will be attacked.
* Harmless outsiders, such as traders, will not be attacked but should state their intentions.
* Guild member outsiders, unfortunately, are only protected by the guild in the walls of the Spirit hut. This is the only Sanctuary for them in Wiksik. (This only applies to members of the Necromancer's guild and only if they are not grieving natives.)
* Outsiders in foreign towns - e.g. York - or at the Shipwreck are fair game for raids and attacks.

== '''Guild History''' - Events that affected the guild. ==

'''The Beginning.''' December 2007.

Founded in late 2007 the Necromancers Guild quickly rose to power in the village of Wiksik. With their grasp of the Spirit World and their swift bargaining they took control of the local medical hut and renamed it the Spirit Hut. With the founding of the guild, shaman and spirit alike flocked to the previously quiet village of Wiksik and thus a new age was born.

'''The First War.''' January 2008.

The Necromancers War began. (See the First War section for details.)

'''The Second War.''' February 2008.

The war with the SOS guild began. (See the Second War section for details.)

'''Alliance with the KOS.''' June 2008.

The Necromancers Guild allied with the Kingdom of Skulls during June 2008. Etherdrifter accepted the position of Royal Magician, agreeing to ally with the Kingdom for mutual benefit and several guild members joined the other clan.

'''Black Fang passes on. '''October 2008.

After the loss of Black Fang, Etherdrifter weaved powerful magics to seal the KOS Throne room. This was done partly in tribute to the Grand Tyrant, but also to force the new KOS leader, [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=10965 Anthor] to prove his worth. If Anthor failed to complete a quest set by the Gods, the Throne room would remain sealed forever.

== '''Spirit Hut''' ==

The Spirit Hut is a sacred guild hut, where Necromancer law rules. It is a place of knowledge and marked by the passing of the dead. Spirits and guild members have free rein in this hut and expect to exist in peace. Exorcising a spirit from there is punishable by death.

Currently the only official Spirit Hut is in [[Wiksik]].

== '''Wanted:''' ==

There are several positions currently available in the guild:

* '''Trader.'''
There is an opportunity for an Island trader to make some money with the guild. We require lots of amulets, especially silver skull crosses. This would be a regular contract, not a one off. We can also supply healing herbs as required. For more information, sign up at the forum or contact Etherdrifter in-game.

* '''Death Knights.'''
There are currently several Death Knight positions open in the guild. Requirements include being a member of the Necromancers Guild and having several attack skills. The ability to track people is preferable as is outsider knowledge for use of GPS units, but neither are necessary. See the Death Knight definition to find out what work is entailed. For more information, sign up at the forum or contact {{profile|9922|Etherdrifter}} or {{profile|12991 |Cheesesteak}} in-game.

== '''The current KOS list:''' ==

'''Permanent KOS:'''
* [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=11429 Um Bongo]

'''High Priority:'''
'''For the repeated murder of guild members:'''
* [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=15055 Slaughterhouse]
* [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=16214 Fat Bastard]
* [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=14906 NumberZero]
* [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=15968 Dehzuman]
* [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=14813 Not Blue Hummingbird]

'''For continuing to exorcise guild members:'''
* [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=8283 Isid]

For more information or to submit a request for KOS status, see {{profile|12991 |Cheesesteak}}, on the forum or in game.

== '''Forum''' ==
The Necromancers Guild has it’s own [http://etherdrifter.proboards67.com/index.cgi? forum]. If you wish to contact a guild member (out of character) then it’s best to sign up there and send them a message or leave a post.

'''Wiksik''' is one of the three native [[camp]]s on Shartak. Located in the interior of the island's eastern half, it contains twenty-one [[hut]]s in a circular clearing.

A [[shaman]] named Tapran keeps watch in the center of the clearing.

Notes:
* The above is a territory map, not a map of jungle density (which constantly changes). Therefore, the jungle and village squares will very likely be colored differently in-game than they are here. Squares within the village will be displayed as "Wiksik" on the game map, while jungle squares will be displayed as "Jungle".
* The numbers on the map are merely for local reference and are not related to GPS coordinates at all.

==A Rough Guide To Wiksik==

Traditionally Wiksik has been the most warlike of the three native villages on Shartak. The ordinary Wiksik villagers actively pursue the ancient traditions of headhunting as a recreational pastime and it is also the birthplace of many of the (in)famous [[The WickSick Headhunters|Wicksick Headhunters]]. Outsiders do not often receive a peaceful welcome in Wiksik and many would consider themselves fortunate to survive 24 hours within the general vicinity of the village.

===The Skull Throne===
The Skull Throne is the palace from which the [[Kingdom Of Skulls]] is administered. Peaceful outsiders, esepcially those formally representing their clans, are always welcome at the Skull Throne. Visitors are cautioned that the people of the Kingdom have a low tolerance for arrogant or violent outsiders.

===The Spirit Hut===
Protected by [[The_Necromancers_Guild|The Necromancer's Guild]], this hut on the southern edge of Wiksik is a haven for spirits haunting the village. Spirits are encouraged to congregate here and share their knowledge of the afterlife. Spirits ''should not'' be exorcised from this hut.

===Crystal Lake===
A short walk NW of Wiksik lies one of Shartak's finest beauty spots, Crystal Lake, rightly famous for the magnificent sunsets that cause its silver waters to sparkle like a jewel. It is recommended that visitors make time to watch the numerous animal herds that frequent the western shores of the Lake at sunrise and sunset. Care should be taken when dealing with the indigenous [[Animals|rhino]] as they will charge those who venture too close. Outsiders should heed the cautionary legends of the ''Butcher of Crystal Lake''.

===Babakueria (Wicksick Island)===
A heavily-disputed territory, [[Wicksick Island|Babakueria]] lies due S of Wiksik. It arose from the waters off the shores of Terror Beach in early 2007. It is notable for its multilevel ruined tower, a unique feature on Shartak.

==The Kingdom Of Skulls==
The [[Kingdom Of Skulls]] is the extended territory surrounding Wiksik. It comprises the six provinces of the Bloody Headland, the Burning Fields, the Sybil's Grove, Tarak's Spit, Terror Beach and [[Wicksick Island]]. Within the boundaries of the Kingdom it is forbidden for an outsider to attack a native.

==Groups Operating In Wiksik==

== Our Pitch ==

A lost soul who is carelessly cast out of every village by those unrelenting exorcists? A shaman craving power and riches? A researcher seeking the secret of shartak's many amulets?

Then join us in our quest. We are not the black mages we a painted to be! Certainly our arts may involve using spirits to harm the living but we do patch them up afterwards...

'''Should you wish to join us post a link to your character on the discusison page and I'll invite you as soon as possible'''

== Ferrymen/Ferrywomen Needed! ==

Currently our first goal is to find people willing to help with our arts, some of us find changing between spirit form and mortal form a little bit difficult. A simple request to your friendly ferryperson solves this at once. Living to dead as quick as that without giving those pkers the satisfaction and without all the mess of prodding alligators till that get the hint. Admittedly there is no revive system barring the town/wandering shaman but at least its something. So anyone willing to act as an ferryperson for a particular village? Cutting out the rhetoric it just means killing any guild member that asks you to.

{{profile|2952|Ziggyirked}} is our wiksik ferrywoman, any member she killed literally asked for it!

== Amulet Research Team Needed ==

Currently we just need people to post up anything they know about charms and what they do. The wiki is very vague and some starting data would be helpful before looking it up in detail. I have started it off with everything on the wiki so far

Silver Skull Cross - Prevents Possession I think

Tiger Tooth Amulet - Increases melee weapon attributes.

Thanks to {{profile|11933|Bruce Lee}} for voulenteering to collect a set for us to use.

== Guild Guards ==

Currently most of our guild members are Shaman and as such not in favour of combat. Though our purpose is peaceful there are those that would cause us harm and flaunt our laws. Guards are tasked to simply hunt down anyone who breaches our laws or harms our guild members without due provocation. If you see this and are not already a member post a link to your character profile to the "discussion" page and I'll send you an invite as well as a posting. Be warned though that all of the postings on offer at the moment are in wiksik. Oh and free healthcare is provided:P

==Guild History==

Founded in late 2007 the Necromancers Guild quickly rose to power in the village of Wiksik. With their grasp of the Spirit World and their swift bargaining they took control of the local medical hut and renamed it the Spirit Hut. The shaman Big Kahuuna created this name and it has stuck since then. With the founding of the guild shaman and spirit alike flocked to the previously quiet village of Wiksik and thus a new age was born.

Sadly this did not last and a war embroiled the village, once again Big Kahuuna performed a large service to the guild by keeping records of the events as can be seen [[User:Big_Kahuuna/Sandbox/spirithut_feud|Here]]. The shaman Bhaal and the villager Ziggyirked played key roles in the war. The shaman Vortex and the warriors Bruce Lee and Cheesesteak also played smaller, but no less important, roles in this war. Ziggy and Bruce scythed through our foes even as they were cut down time and time again. Bhaal and Vortex healed the wounded and fought for peace through diplomacy. Cheesesteak slew Um Bongo, the leader of Stamp Out Shamanism, before being cut down by a shamanist. These names will long be remembered by the guild for their courage and sacrifice.

On February 7th the first effective raid using spirits and a shaman was carried out against York. This tactic has long been in development and now shows promise of fruition in the nearby future. Special thanks goes to Bhaal for his magnificent save and to everyone else who took part!

Throughout March 2008 members of SOS attacked and killed guild members. Fighting still continues, though on a smaller scale as of April 5th. Most of the violent SOS members have been driven out and disruption is minimal.

==Guild Law==

These are the laws of our guild, their penalties vary and are listed with the law itself. The penalties are harsh but fair I would think, there is warning before any serious action is taken and every death sentence will be accompanied by a reason. Laws are only applicable in wiksik and spirit huts at the moment. There are specific laws for each branch.

'''The laws concerning sacred Spirit Huts'''

To exorcise from this hut carries with it a death sentence, no more no less. Repeat offence (3 times of more) will result in a month long KOS being placed on the offender's head.

To kill a guild member in this hut (outsider or native) carries a death sentence, a single death for a single death. Repeat offences (3 or more) will result in a month long KOS being placed on the offender's head.

Murder by wailing is permitted in the hut, it is a risk you take in its use. Attempts to take revenge for a wail related spirit hut death will be considered as murder within the hut and punished accordingly

Murder by malevolence is not permitted, the penalty is applied to the invoker and not the spirit.

'''The laws concerning Wiksik'''

Invocation for the purpose of exorcism is forbidden if the spirit invoked was residing in the spirit hut during the time of invocation. For a first offence a verbal warning is given. After 2 warnings and a further offence a death penalty is applied for each invoke (of a spirit from the hut) and exorcism (of said spirit from the hut). This crime will never result in a KOS unless there are extreme circumstances.

Murder of a guild member is frowned upon by the guild, however if the guild member was committing a crime then there will be no retribution (if a guild member murders you you have every right to kill them in return). If the guild member is peaceful and is not violating any law it will be treated as a murder in the spirit hut and punished accordingly. It is sadly notable that outsider guild members are not protected by this law much to the guild's regret. In these cases however the guild will not consider it a crime for the guild member to take vengeance against his/her killer.

Assault of a guild member is not punished unless the guild member in question is killed later on as a direct result of the assault. Wailing is not constituted as assault.

'''Guild policy regarding Outsiders'''

The Necromancers guild will not attack outsiders in Wiksik, but nor will we defend them.

Specifically:

* Hostile outsiders (targeting Wiksik or the Guild), such as those on the KOS list, will be attacked.
* Harmless outsiders, such as traders, will not be attacked but should state their intentions.
* Guild member outsiders, unfortunately, are only protected by the guild in the walls of the Spirit hut. This is the only Sanctuary for them in Wiksik. (This only applies to members of the Necromancer's guild and only if they are not grieving natives.)
* Outsiders in foreign towns - e.g. York - or at the Shipwreck are fair game for raids and attacks.
