Do you have the Quality to join Black Rose? Here's the quick overview of the various clansHere's the details for Black RoseAre you clever, competitive, honorable, loyal, respectable, respected, skilled, steady, subtle, and trustworthy? Are you comfortable with yourself? Are you unafraid to stand on your own? Are you unafraid to ally with others? Are you here to have a good time? Do you feel no need to denigrate other Warlocks? Do you seek to improve your allies’ skills? Are you willing to stand for truth and sanity in the midst of the surrounding chaos? Will you fight with honor in the circle and behave with dignity outside it? If this sounds like you, PM Dubber to join!

You had me until the sanity part.
(where sanity = respected)

Actually it's Sanity = Truth (where Truth != RP material misrepresentation)

I apologize for my poor attempt at self-deprecating humor. I'll try to do better next time.

Xade's Isle of misfits, no skill you'll find, The Paramancers, gauranteed wins 25% of the time, The Black Arts filled with enemies of mine, The Rose my friends! The reason and rhyme.

Emrys, returning from yet another hiatus would like to report that this brings back memories. Old and out-of-practice warlocks for the most old and honorable clan! (... and for those few of you who remember, my defection is arguably complete. The Order of Shadows would have tried to join the Isle... or else take them down, preferably from the inside. :

Toppling the Isle from the inside is one of the mandatory goals for new recruits. If your not trying to win, you must be up to something.

The drunken ronin, Toyotami stumbles out of the Heart of the Rose. His cup is empty for the moment. Out of the sanctuary, the Hell Plane burns around him. He whistles a tune as a nearby circle shatters into a hail of ice crystals and a warlock falls lifelessly into the abyss. Toyotami vomits violently.
What to do? Thinks the drunken ronin. Try to dig up the lost bones of the ancient swine-master and absorb the old secret power within? Challenge that king of nowhere, Xade and listen to him talk himself to death? Or perhaps Succat? No, every secret of his Paramancer ways have been unlocked and shared with the Rose.
With an absent wave of his hand, Toyotami refills the cup. He staggers forward, thinks twice and turns around. There is war coming, the likes of nothing the Hell Plane has seen for a long time. The Guild of the Black Arts is rushing to train an army but will they be ready in time? Toyotami wishes them well but fears the youngsters will end up as grist for old mills. The rose shimmers across the Hell-Plane, somewhere inside the wise voice of the elder Dubber can be heard muttering. The drunken ronin stumbles back inside. What better place than the Heart of the Rose to prepare for the battles to come?

The more I think about it, the more I'm glad I'm not on that isle which seems to gain more and more negative epithets each day... word of the day? "backstabbing" For those of you who seek a calmer establishment, Black Rose invites you.

You can't stab what you can't see. And who are we going to be betrayed to? you guys! ha!

We are smart enough to realize that it's in our best interest to stick together until all other clans fall. There is no back stabbing at the Isle, we just mutually agree that when the final day comes we all know there can only be one.
But I suppose the black rose has decided that the final day will never come? Or perhaps the elder just wants you to believe that. Do not think him so foolish. When the final day comes everyone will be out for themselves. The leaders of the black rose are the ones who have been planning for that day the longest. They are just using you to take the orbs power for their personal benefit. At least on the Isle every member has a chance to gain the orbs power.

Crazy Islander, Black Rose knows there will be only one remaining in the end.
Hopefully, for the sake of all on this Plane of Brimstone and Screams, the one remaining is one whom all can trust to do the right thing for all; this hope is dim unless the Orb is claimed by Black Rose.
The Paramancers will foolishly squander the Orb, the Islanders would likely drop the Orb and break it in the midst of their internal squabbling, the Guild of Black Arts might make the correct choices for they are a learned teaching order.
However, Black Rose has long experience and a history of battling for the benefit of all Warlocks. Black Rose has the interests of all Warlocks at heart and is the only clan which will reliably choose wisely for the benefit of all Warlocks.

Silly Dubber... You may have your flock believing that tripe, but you know as much as I do about what was written.
"The strongest will go on to a great reward; the rest to endless torment."
There is no benefit to the rest. Just to he who seizes the power.
The fraudulent blocks of your fragile clan will come tumbling down the second one of your own has the chance to seize said power.
Come to think of it though, you personally would benefit from no-one seizing power- as you'll get to continue with this charade of unity.
Only ONE will hold power. The rest will burn forever.
I'm glad that that one will come from the Isle... cause you never know, it might be me who is saved!

Even though I'm not active anymore, and I don't really understand this new clan system, I've been in the Black Rose for many years and I'd like to stay in it unless the number of spots are limited. The cool forum color is a nice bonus.
