Duffy 198 Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Lore Version “It was an easy choice. To chase the secrets of the universe, to see worlds beyond the one of my birth. To walk with gods. To live, learn, and fight for countless lives. Or, I could face oblivion. Who could say no? Eternity, a small price to pay.” - Conn Agon Caelus, Founder Corvus Citadel is a bastion of knowledge, a grand library among the Eternal Kingdoms. It stands as a monument to our patron, Yaga, goddess of all things known and unknown. Our goal, nay our purpose, is to ease the passing of worlds by preserving their memory within these hallowed walls. All manner of myths, histories, and secrets may be found here. But heed our warning: knowledge is power and the right words in the wrong ear can shatter worlds or kill a god. The Corax Council, our leaders, convene in the Hall of Ravens, atop the Citadel. Guiding the Crowguard in war and sending their Seekers to worlds on the cusp of doom. Where the Seeker's white ravens soar, the council is watching, and the Crowguard’s legions are not far behind. Though our core tenets favor Yaga, and many of us are her crows, upon the mountain you will find temples to the other gods of Chaos. Malekai, venerated almost as much as Yaga, maintains a hidden temple rumored to contain untold secrets. Seek it out at your own risk, entry will not come cheap. Cults of Zaleena the temptress, Kane the Ostracized, Hero the First, and even Kronos, Lord of Time, also reside among us. At the base of the mountain, visitors will be greeted by the Jackdaw Market. Offering for trade what resources and trinkets could be saved from dying worlds. If it can be made it can be found among our craftsman's stalls, just ask the nearest thrall if you need assistance. If you seek knowledge, artifacts, or to join us in our great purpose, the way to the Citadel is open. Practical Version Who are we? We’re a group of mature (mainly in age but also a little bit in personality) players ranging from hardcore to casual that enjoy tailoring our theme and interests to the game’s lore. While we’re not dedicated in-character role-players, we do like to keep a consistent theme. We’ll be theming around and supporting the Chaos faction when appropriate. We're primarily based in North America and will be playing on the NA servers, but we are open to any interested in playing on said servers. Who should join us? We’re open to those interested in any aspect of the game with any level of commitment. Whether you traditionally consider yourself hardcore, casual, or something in between; if you want to help we can find a place for you. We like to have fun and don’t mind more casual players, but when it’s go time we like to be serious too. If you’re going to participate in our higher level strategy and organized campaign efforts we expect you to be able to follow orders when the time comes. We only have two general rules: 1. Respect your fellow players (aka Don’t be a prick) 2. Respect the chain of command when it it’s time to be serious How are we organized? Currently we’re maintaining a single guild, Corvus Citadel, but planning for the possibility to maintain multiple core guilds depending on any guild mechanics or limitations revealed later in the game's development. The Citadel's ranks are based on purpose: the Corax Council is our highest level leadership - they guide the citadel's overarching agenda. Seekers are the Council's direct agents among the dying worlds, commanding troops, managing logistics, and engaging in diplomacy with other guilds. The Crowguard is our core body that not only makes up our fighting strength but also handles the majority of our gathering and manufacturing. Most of our members will be found among the guard. Depending on growth we may subdivide the Crowguard into Legions, each under a Seeker to form quasi-independent commands, time will tell. We will be accepting sub-guilds interested in pledging to the Citadel. Sub guilds will have the option of being placed into our command structure or keeping their own command as auxiliaries. While we’ll expect auxiliaries to accept some guidance and cooperate with the the rest of the Citadel’s forces, less organizational demands will be expected of them. Where can you find us in game? We'll be maintaining our Eternal Kingdom, Corvus Citadel (based around a Mountain Citadel plot), as a community hub open to all. Whether you come to trade, find information, or just to hang out, the door will always be open. Many of us are very crafting minded and we hope to build a thriving marketplace right at the entrance to the Citadel, making quick visits as convenient as possible for shoppers. As the above lore section implies, we will have a strong focus on the gods of Chaos, you’ll find a set of Cathedrals dedicated to them throughout the mountain. Depending on how those mechanics work out we may expand to include more of the pantheon into our theme and day to day play. Finally... If any of this sounds interesting and you'd like to join our guild or pledge as a sub-guild you can hop in our discord and drop Duffy a private message indicating your intent or drop us an email at corvus.citadel@gmail.com, I will of course also answer any questions posted in this thread. Portions of our discord are open to the general public so if you just want to hang out and say hello (or eventually maybe do some trading), feel free to stop on by. If you have already talked to one of our officers about joining and have not yet received an invite, you can request an invite via our Guild Profile. Wait there’s more! We're not only seeking information in-game but providing it out of game as well. Some of our members are working on publicly accessible tools for Crowfall players. Currently you can check out the Rookery for crafting recipes and a peek at a slew of tools we're working on.

Grimmel 42 Posted June 22, 2017 Greetings! The Rookery is an excellent resource - you can count on the Chaos Crew to gather data and actionable intel. One more decent content drop / bug fix round and the combat arm of the Crowguard should commence recon and training. The real fun begins when the 24x7 server(s) go up and the Test Campaign is underway! Hide Grimmel's signature Hide all signatures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thimble 61 Posted January 20 Thanks, Angelmar! We had a ton of fun and we were glad that our contribution to the battle helped. Order was super fast on replanting that tree though, so in the end I don't think we could claim a victory, but we learned a lot and look forward to future fights! 1 Nebuchad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thundar 13 Posted March 25 (edited) Glad I joined CC. Great group of guys who support their people and don't shy away from tough battles. Come join to help tip the scales in our favor against the zerg of balance. Guaranteed to have a brotherhood of guild mates who will help you get leveled up in gear. You can bet this guild will stand firm on Chaos and fight the evil Balance faction until victory is ours. Edited March 25 by Thundar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
