The Ruby Order (Necromancy Guild)

[Lerky]

The Ruby Order

The Undercity is a hidden Necromancy Guild. It's accessable by going down an empty alleyway and saying "O Death where is thy sting?". Once these words are spoken the bricks shift out of the way forming a large canal similar to a sewer.

The Sewers-The sewers are the main way of dumping and the only way to enter the guild

The War Quarter-This quarter focuses on fighting with necromatic weapons and combat styles

The Magic Quarter-This quarter focuses on offensive spells such as Ray of Frost or Touch of Fatigue

The Rogues Quarter-This quarter focuses on stealth and sneaking around/into graveyards and making escapes

The Apothecraim-Possibly the most important quarter. This quarter not only focuses on both the raising/improving of undead and alchemy, but also houses the guild's prisinors for experiments

Unnamed Center-This is the general relaxing area. It is also where illegal goods are sold and the mess hall for students and Halaster's personal study
Dawn Spire-A large, spirling, pointed tower is in the middel of the Unnamed Center. It is named after the creator of the Guild Halaster Dawnslayer. It's name also means that the dawn of necromancy is coming. One the inside The Spire consits of a spiral staircase which leads to rooms which house a bed, a desk, and a closet to keep clothes. At the top of The Spire is Halaster's personal study.

as you walk around the guild you see zombies and skeletons making minor repairs to the Guild and other students walking around

if the words "O Grave where is thy victory" are spoken with the badge on it become visable/invisable. Rank is determined by these badges, it is shown by that parts of the symbol (the sword, the two hammers, and the spear) and the metal (bronze, silver, gold)

Joining the guild is simple, the hardest part is knowing it exists. Once you enter you have to take an alignment test in which we scan to tell your alignment. Once there you must search for a being with the Guild badge that is silver and has all the parts or a badge with all parts and silver, only they can introudce you to the guild. Once you find them, they will interview you and if you join you are given a bronze badge with the lone sword. There is a ranking system in The Split Skull Guild
