Since AOC's forums only allow 10000 characters to a post the story I wanted to have in the beginning of this thread has been moved here:

House of the New Dawn is an Age of Conan roleplaying guild located on the Aquilonia PVP-RP server. We have been around since about a year before the release of the game and most of us jumped on the early access train resulting in us already having a well established guild city.
The style of roleplay in our guild is perhaps a bit different from that of other more casual roleplay guilds as we have made our own custom lore, culture and religon within whats possible and realistic in the Conan universe. We offer you to play something different than those civilisations which already excist and instead letting your character become a Kathian, either through birth (we have lore dating 20 years before the age of conan to allow characters to have been born into the House) or through hard training.
So, who is a Kathian then? Well first and foremost all Kathians are soldiers in the New Dawns army. They are all trained in melee combat with the sword which is the favoured weapon among these people, however we allow all classes and certainly characters whom are not talented swordsmen in our guilds that is where the clans come in, all kathians are part of one of five clans. Here follows some short descriptions:
Balance
This is the main strength of the New Dawn, members of this clan are soldiers only, they spend their days training when they are not on missions and they live by the path of Balance which is also their duty to uphold.
Lore
Most mages of the new dawn finds themselves in this clan, they are in charge of the library and it is their duty to write down the history of the House as it unfolds for future generations aswell as keep record of research done and other typicly beurocratic things.
Nature
The House concerns itself with taking care of the gods creation and so it is this clans duty to oversee that the city does not pollute the enviroment or the harvesting it's people must do does not do more damage than it has to. They also tend to all the animals that the New Dawn makes use of, ranging from messenger birds to riding mammoths.
Secrets
Being keen on keeping its discoveries to itself the New Dawn has a clan dedicated to ensuring that what is secret remains secret. They are the eyes and ears of the House aswell as the sometimes necessary swift stab in the back.
Siblings
No other clan so zealously follows the word of Damak and Dyma, the sibling gods. They perform sermons, rituals and all other things religous aswell as being in the frontline when striking down the heretics.
Also common to all members of the House of the New Dawn is that they have sworn to follow the three core laws, the very foundation of the House itself:
The law of Loyalty
Loyalty to the House and to your Dathanar, your comrades are your brothers and sisters you will never leave a wounded or dead on the battlefield, you will never retreat and you will never desert.
The law of Obedience
Obedience to the House and to your Dathanar, wisdom comes with knowledge, strength comes with experience and through this one achieves the right to lead. Obey those that are above and expect the same from those that are below.
The law of Balance
Balance for the sake of the House and yourself, achieve equilibrium in all that you do and bring honour to your comrades. A favour always repaid, a grievance always revenged.
This of course poses the question as to what or who the Dathanar is. It is a title infact, one quite similar to that of king or lord but with a completely different meaning to it. While the Dathanars word is law he is not percieved as someone who rules those who are below him/her indeed a main philosophy of the House is that all are equal. Instead he is seen as a guide whom has been bestowed with much strength and wisdom and doing his/her will is the right thing to do according to the laws. Of course the House is militaristic and values discipline, disobedience is punished with severity of the crime being the measure.
So what we have to offer you then is a friendly community, a guild city, people to play with and a chance to take part of something quite unusual with your character. The most fun of course is to go out into the world and let our culture clash with others.
So if you find this interesting and you feel you are a mature roleplayer then head on over to our website and post an application.
