"Villainy is a tricky thing, isn't it? For those who are alone, this is a time of turmoil. We all seek shelter against the battle storming into our lives.. helpless devastation the result. But the titans who wage war have fear and weakness within. They tremble beneath their own secrets, wielding their spears in every direction in hope to survive these times. These times of war and turmoil. These times of opportunity.
The Council of Ruin, divided by profession, is united in a common goal. We will control the storm. We will shape the chaos. And when these times end, and a new, glorious future arises, we will be among the survivors.. For we'll have seen our enemies slay one another in cruelty. We will have brought it about.. From the hidden places inside our enemy, where they keep their most guarded secrets.
The Council of Ruin is not a haven for the weak. If you come to us, you will stand against the storm and you will hold. But you will stand with brothers." --William Tannen
Calling themselves simply, 'The Guild', The Council of Ruin is dedicated to using factions against one another to provide an umbrella of shadow for itself to accomplish it's own goals. It counts among it's ranks expert blackmailers, spies, and just all-around cunning villains willing to manipulate for the cause... Surprisingly, CoR members enjoy a loose network of trust, partially encouraged by a lackluster rank system, but mostly owed to the group's sacred view of secrets, as even so much as a hint of inward distrust results in membership expulsion. Fortunately for the membership, The CoR council reciprocates this requirement, seeking to respect it's own membership's privacy so long as they bring in their share of valuable information to use against opposing factions.
Though The Council of Ruin is directed by three villains, I.E. the council, perhaps the most hushed whispers within the group suggest 'The Guild' has an appropriately titled 'guild-master'. These rumors, of course, are unconfirmed.
((The Council of Ruin is a relaxed, RP-Oriented VG. We are very new, and are looking for founding membership. It's a good time to get in on some new fun if you've been thinking about a VG. Just drop a PM here on the forum with your global chat name or character name, or you can get in touch with the global name @StormGryffen for more info.))
