Outlaw, the House of
Anarchy
Immortal Leaders: Rellion Simayu, The Godfather
Starting as a band of wild
and crazy freedom lovers under the freedom-loving auspices of
Barsak, God of Freedom, the Outlaws evolved into a partially
secret society under the leadership of Kailiel B'Shava, The
Godfather, who once guarded the original House. In those days the
secretive Xurinos, Great Lord of the Void, watched over them.
After the Godfather's band of Outlaws, based somewhat on the
Mafia, grew strong enough, they shed their cloaks of secrecy and
outright attacked the Enforcers in a campaign to bring freedom to
Thera. Many members of the current freedom-fighting house are
followers of Utara, Goddess of Mischief (these followers known as
Gremlins of Thera), while many others regard the teachings of
Barsak, of old the God of Freedom, and Thrym, still God of Chaos,
as the way to base their lives and the way others should live as
well. The find themselves at odds with the Empire as well as the
Enforcers, for the Empire wishes to rule the behavior of others.
The Outlaws remained freedom fighters under Malignus as their immortal leader, until he disappeared. During a rough time in their history, they called upon Xyza, Goddess of Magic, to help them regain a footing in the world. At this time she granted them the freedom of democracy and they elected their mortal leaders. Utara, Goddess of Mischief and Misfortune, took over the Outlaws during this time. The democracy experiment failed, and Utara cleared the House, starting over again with Rellion as mortal leader and returning to the Outlaw of Kailiel's day. Rellion became the Godfather and built the Outlaws from nothing.
Rellion joined the pantheon after he breathed his last, but not until he and Nigcule bagged the Tournament Championship the first time it was set up for a two-on-two. Poetic justice: They won the final round against the Enforcers. Recently he has become the Immortal Leader of the House he once ran as a mortal, and describes the House as:
Outlaw, House of organized crime, is one of the few houses that
mortals may choose to try and enter. The house is based upon the
concept that money and power are the most important things in life.
This is achieved through the use of bribery, influence, and when
necessary, brute force.
Many moons ago, Outlaw fought for freedom, believing that an
individuals freedom was worth fighting and even dying for. But, when
many of the Outlaws became arrogant and headstrong, infighting soon
became rather commonplace within their ranks. Seeing this, the goddess
Utara decided it was time for the Outlaws to disband.
After this, many of the old Outlaws fled the lands in search of new
lives. One Outlaw, however, remained amongst the citizens and was
outcast by the very same people he once fought for, his name, Rellion
Simayu.
Upon seeing the rage pent up inside of this young monk, the goddess
Utara summoned him to her chambers, wishing to speak to him of her
plans for Outlaw's reformation. Rellion, still holding true to his
oath to Outlaw, took charge, assuming the position of Godfather in the
soon to be reborn family of Outlaw.
In time, the Godfather gained quite the following, as many succumbed to
his bribery and influence. Many of them joined the family, submitting
to one common goal, profit.
Rellion has since ascended to the heavens, assuming his position among
the pantheon as the immortal leader of Outlaw. He, along with Lady
Utara and the God of Revolution Malignus keep a watchful eye over the
family. Within the house, there are many positions of power mortals
can hold. Headed up by the all-powerful Godfather, there are also the
positions of Chief of Operations, Propaganda Boss, and Head Goon. All
of which see to it that the control and flow of all Theran goods and
commerce are always under the control of the family.
To apply, send a scroll to Outlaw, telling of yourself, your guild and
rank, and the path you follow. Keep in mind that Outlaw is primarily
for those of neutral or evil alignment, given their fondness for greed
and violence. However, some of the light have proven themselves
corrupt enough to join. Keep in mind this scroll is your first
impression, so be sure to include reasons why the Godfather should even
spend their time talking to you.
Those who wish to join the freedom fighters should send an application to Outlaw.
