Students of the Arcane and the Machine:
With the exile of the Spellguard the Sovereign Host realizes that there are few places to go for students of the arcane and the machine. As such, the Sovereign Host extends its hand and reaches out to you.
We accept all willing to pledge to Sanctuary and the Code of the Sovereign Host. If you are willing to accept our code then you are welcome among us.
Code of the Sovereign Host 1. A member of the Host works against any who cause harm to Sanctuary, no matter who they are, but is always mindful of the consequences of what they do.2. A member of the Host believes that all Sanctuarians should walk free of fear, with the right to live their lives as they wish within the limits of the law.
3. A member of the Host believes the rule of law aids peace and fosters freedom, so long as the laws are just and those who enforce them lenient and understanding.
4. A member of the Host does not believe in extremes. No extreme is good, be it a moral extreme or otherwise. For Sanctuary to flourish, there must be balance: a balance of power, a balance of morality and a balance between individuals.
5. Whatever it takes to defend or strengthen Sanctuary, a member of the Host will do. Pride never rules the deeds of a member of the Sovereign Host.
6. A member of the Host believes in compromise. Working with hated enemies can sometimes be necessary to bring down greater threats. A member of the Host acknowledges that living in the Underdark is dangerous and thus, it is sometimes necessary to align with lesser evils to protect Sanctuary from greater ones.
7. A member of the Host polices its own. A member of the Host who hears the call of personal power at the expense of what is best for the city can no longer be a member of the Sovereign Host. A member who seizes power, and holds it above all else, is a traitor to Sanctuary and the Host. Traitors must die for Sanctuary to live.
8. If conflict can be avoided then it is for the best of all. The Host believes in fighting only when necessary or face death as a consequence. This is the way of the Sovereign Host: subtle and quiet, behind the shouting. Guile and intelligence, and the outsmarting of others is the only way for Sanctuary and the Host to survive.
Send a message to the Last Stand. There is much work to do, and united under a single banner, it can be accomplished.
