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? A mortal seeking the secret of lichdom?

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... Our knowledge of the spirit world is second to none and we are always working at the fore-front of island research.

Should you wish to join us feel free, membership is open and we welcome all comers

This user or clan supports the Natives Against Exorcism initiative.

Ferrymen/Ferrywomen

The brave souls listed here will ferry you from the land of the living to that of the dead at a request. Also note that any kill made on a guild member was requested. That means thank them for doing this difficult task and do not stab them.

Ziggyirked is our wiksik ferrywoman, any member she killed literally asked for it!

Amulets

Ask Trapper if you want to borrow and amulet. We have plenty of parrt feather charms but are in short supply of most others at the moment. If anyone would be interested in procuring more for the guild at reasonable costs please pm me and we can discuss prices.

Guild Guards

We're still recruiting, sign up on the forums if you are interested or contact Cheesesteak. Remember we do provide free healthcare and are working on procuring heavy swords for all guild guards.

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 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 7^th 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 5^th. 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.
