Concepts of the Twilight Legion

A Brief Overview

The Twilight Legion is the Evil Character Element of BoC; a home for orcs, undead, goblins, ettins, and so forth. It is comprised primarily of the Undead and the Orcs. The threads that sew these two hostile groups together are greed, bloodlust, a thirst for power, and their devotion to the Guardian (Wargod).

The Undead that recently settled in the desert by Guardian's Shrine of Compassion have forged an alliance with the Orc clan whose fort has bordered Cove for years. The Ancient One commands the Undead army and the Wargoth commands the Orcish horde. Their goal is to annihilate the Covians and conquer the entire city as well and its surrounding provinces in the name of the Guardian.


Purpose

The Twilight Legion was designed to add more spice, intrigue, diversity, and adventure into The Baronship of Cove.

Though the Twilight Legion is an element of The Baronship of Cove, it is an organization of its own. In order to join the Twilight Legion the applicant is subject to the prerequisite of having a current character within the Covian citizenship or enlisted in the Company.

Ultimately, the Twilight Legion strives to provide Cove and other guilds with a formidable, intimidating, and well organized foe.

Culture

The Twilight Legion specializes in non-human roleplay. The behaviors and mentality that separate them from traditional Britannian social structures are vast. Aforementioned groups have strong racial and/or religious identities. They harbor a severe hatred of “otherness.”

Player versus Player combat, as it fits within our roleplay, is a key part of the Twilight Legion. The Twilight Legion's combat tactics will often be unconventional and place emphasis on cooperation rather than an individual's skills. Opponents do have alternatives. Orcish thirst for blood may be quenched by an offering of tribute. Similarly, the Undead will often take prisoners or religious converts as an alternative to death.

Undead and orcs do not believe in the same standards of combat that most mortal humans do. Tactics deemed cowardly by Covian standards may be respected as valued fighting styles by the Twilight Legion. Remember that orcs and undead do not care about human sets of values like the virtues.

Humans are never tolerated in the Twilight Legion's territory. Trespassing upon the Guardian's sacred land by mortals is punishable by death, no matter the situation.
