Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Its such a nice faction. A pitty that it isnt runned anymore. Anyone else interested in reviving it?

There might be some changes needed. And it would most likely start without any support.

I'm a conjurer. So I can't help you there. Also it needs a drow to run it. Humans are for carrying books and being test subjects!

Yep, its a drow faction. So far I know Isendur would want to join the school and I consider possibilities of a new char.

Not trying to be obnoxious here, but won't there be a cross fraction issue there? He's already House Sshamath, serving the temple. Not sure if he can join it with a conclave ran school. Both are rivals.

Edit: I'm going to pinch this link though. The lore is really good here.

I got a drow mage that would like to be part of it.

When I played, I encoutered one mage from that School, and in a roleplay I talked to the High Necromancer, a Vampire Faern who ruled the School.

Since he's retired, we could make a RP and maybe a DM-help quest for those who wants to be part of the new school.

The School of Necromancy is not a Faction, they are one of the foundations of Sshamath, since the High-Faerns of each school are part of the high council (I think it would be called Deep Council, we are in UD! haha), so they are not rivals.

Actually, I think the Leader of the Charnag Maelthra respond to the council, so to the faerns. =).

We need an epic necromancer to start. haha

Please re-read what I wrote and then the following:

It would be possible for example for small, well organized quellars to infiltrate many different schools of magic and attempt to work the system such that they get drow into prime spots in multiple schools. Being drow this has undoubtedly been done many times and the heads of these schools of magic will become adept at spotting such maneuverings. This would result in the leaders of the schools ensuring that quellar-mates do not end up in positions of power across multiple schools. They would actively look for and restrict such attempts.

Given House Sshamath, already leading the Temple of Lolth has a representative on the conclave, it would fall perfect under the above.

Also:

Power is everything to drow.
Whether that power flows from sex, profession, ability, rank, alliances, wealth, knowledge OR WHATEVER.
A drow without power is nothing.

Drow are constantly in rivalry with each other on many different levels. This includes the dealings in the conclave as particular schools try and gain influence and power within their own structures. Viewing it as Brokeback Mountain is a huge mistake. The impression you might be getting comes from the fact that against an outside conclave threat, they speak with one voice. Cycle to cycle members of one school work to overcome one another and/or prove their prowess is greater than their peers from a neighbouring, preferably more prestigious school, especially if it's against the necromancers - most renown school so far

They're the Sith, not the Jedi of the setting.

Sith presently being quite challenged at their particular field of study and responsibility by the Force Adepts of House Sshamath. Even if it was done abroad...

Force adepts who also made the last priestess of Kieransalee in the city loose faith.


I dont see much Sith - Force Adept love happening with ease, unless it is for individual benefit.


As for the idea of reviving the school of Necromancy I give it all my thumbs up however.

Who cares about accuracy?!? I LOVE the sound of that...*cackles*. More titles...More...

So...you like it or not?

Archibald - Tarin's bat familiar has a few vampiric touch spells ready and keeps ranting about being the prince of darkness and a dracobat lich. He likes eyeing necks of females and makes them offers to bite into those, so that seems to fit the bill for the vampire faern - necromancer bit

He certainly rules the social interactions between the rabble and his master (poorly though, tossing the commoners about) so ruling is there.

The only thing is that he's not very tall, so I'm not sure about him being a High Necromancer. He's rather on a short side

Yes I like it

ROFL

No, I was talking about mar3usmc, the same user that made that topic in the first link.
=)

I don't like Names, Titles are always the best way to interact haha.

Call the Pope by his name, a king, a sheik or a president just by his name, now think in a director of a school in Sshamath, the difference is just they can't kill in real life because we have laws. =)

Titles always first, if you know him very well, and are at least half as powerfull, say his name.

(VOLDEMORT).

Enlarge Person?

Master is a conjurer. Transmutation is a forbidden school. Enlarge Person is a transmutation spell.

Edit: Unless the familiar decides to commit treason and ask Narthan Urd'Nei a Transmuter and Tarin's father - both currently in rivalry, for a favour.
