Keepers of Faith

This clan was formed as an answer to the growing lack of faith among the citizens of Sanctuary. The Keepers are devoted to seeking the higher meaning of life - why are we ?

Alignment is not a key issue in the ranks of this clan, which can be seen in the fact that there are members of both FOG (Forces of Good) and CZ (Clan Zarkovich....a vampiric clan). However, since the Keepers has a certain code of honor, most evil beings do not qualify for membership!

At the moment the clan has two leaders. They are Headhunter Grand knight of the Keepers (a hero of the vampire wars on TW.....see Cyan's chronicle for further information on this matter) and Huma Grand ranger of the Keepers (who is not on TW at present due to a failed planar travel spell.....hopefully he will be back soon).

The history of the Keepers is a short and brutal one. The clan was formed about a year ago and prospered until the annihilation of the known world (first pwipe). Afterwards the few remaining members worked closer together and isolated themselves from the rest of the new TW. Then destruction lay TW bare again (second pwipe). Now the clan has reformed and is dedicated to seeking the truth - why have the Gods and Goddesses left Thieves's World ? This question along with helping newbies and protect them from abusive high-lvl characters has become the main goal of the Keepers.

There are certain rules, which must be followed by all members:

• As a Keeper thou must work to preserve the balance of power (explains the presence of both good and evil beings in the ranks of the Keepers)
• In order to maintain faith among thy fellow citizens, thou must always come to the aid of a newbie in distress.
• Since the disappearence of the Immortals, TW has been quite lawless, and thus creating fear in the hearts of prosperous newbies. As a Keeper you must work to enforce the laws of Santuary, and protect the innocent newbies from abuse. If fighting against overwhelming odds, thou may retreat to get help, and thus live to fight another day.
• Thou must spread the word of the old Gods. Make people believe and respect the old Gods, and thus (hopefully) make some of them appear on TW once again.
• Thou must not kill or steal from other characters. If another character kills or loots a newbie, thou must call other Keepers to the crime site and together contact the God Supreme by the works of a holy ritual (contact Tanga *chuckle*)

The above was taken from Headhunter's exact words but with modified HTML. If you wish to join this clan, please seek Headhunter. Headhunter also has an AD&D web page.
