Overview:
The Sons of Sabuth were founded by Admiral Horton Grouse in the Docks district roughly a week after the end of the Queen's War. With Ixpadia Sabuth having been captured near to the moment of her victory by the intervening drow of House Jultar and subsequently taken down into the depths of the world as their slave, the Ixpadian forces shattered. Grouse and a core force of veterans under his command managed to escape the island, landing in the Docks in the dead of night a few days after the Queen's capture. Refusing to believe she is dead, and fierce in his resentment of their defeat at the hands of the outrageously lucky Count, Grouse moved amongst the Docks with new purpose. Thought of by many as just another gang competing for turf in the slums of the Docks, the Sons kept a relatively low profile. Yet over the weeks, Grouse managed to sway several gangs to him, and even won the respect of the much-feared Freemen led by Cyrus Doors for acts of defiance against the Ruby rule that enveloped the Colony prior to the Duke's arrival. Using these successes as a platform, the Sons came to be the major power in the slums and when the charismatic Grouse declared the independence of the Docks, under his leadership, none challenged it.
Son of Sabuth
The rank and file. The Son of Sabuth is defined by his hatred of Old Port or his love of freedom, often times both. Otherwise, the Sons of Sabuth are a diverse group, featuring different religions, cultures, creeds and backgrounds that often breeds infighting. Given a place to sleep and fed daily, the Sons of Sabuth are responsible for the day to day affairs and defense of the Docks.
IC Expectations::
Depending on your concept, some of the following goals may or may not be applicable. They are however referenced here, for these are the goals a new recruit would be told to pursue and, generally, those which can determine advancement in the ranks.
1) Defend the Docks from outside forces
2) Commit acts of espionage, sabotage and thievery against the Duchy
3) Investigate and crush slavers
4) Work to build the Docks into a free utopia, improving the welfare of the people
5) Recruit promising members into the Sons
6) Secure sources of funding for the Sons
7) Find Queen Ixpadia, rescure her, and burn Old Port to the ground
The Sons of Sabuth are now primarily concerned with defending the Docks from the stifling control of Trenada's Duchy, building the district into a free utopia.
Just to point out that you can actually be Lawful, if the concept fits. The alignment is more of a recommendation.
Also, feel free to post an IG recruitment poster!
*has already posted one IG*
Also the Sons do not have a gang sign I discovered the hard way so Caddies has ruled no gang signs so unfortunatly gangsters in the Sons will not be flashing gang signs. So if your concept involves a dude flashing gang signs expect Dm trouble.
-DRD
Anyone lacking concepts or characters should feel free to pm me or the Doc about this sweet faction.
Or myself having been the longest living Sons PC so far.
Also you dont even need to do conflict or any PVP so really all manner of IG and Rp styles can fit in.
This faction seems to be on a bit of a downer after recent events, I don't know how many PCs they have but I think they could do with some more so the interesting plots can continue!
Bear them in mind :D
We really need Sons and I'll be watching closely to see who takes up the challenge and makes a brilliant PC that doesn't always FIGHT THE POWER, but also makes leaps and bounds to see the docks flourish.
I shall accept your challenge, Daz.
"Beware of Tyrants, Sahib! How you say-"Death to the Count!"
Daz, I am take your challenge! GANGSTA SCUM! UNITE!
Well, I have a PC who's been trying to work with them for a while now, but it seems all his contacts are dead. :D

This is one huge misconception. Scum? Most sons are CN/CG.
The sons are awesome freedom fighters, they believe every man has the right to be free, they live in poverty, but they are taking steps to change that.
Its not just about smashing up stygians (though I can say from experience that is a lot of fun) Its about thinking of ways to mess with the dutchy. Thinking of ways to raise coins for the docks people.
Trying to build defences against common threats, gettign spies in the dutchy, freeing slaves.
Seriously the sons are probably the best faction out right now. You can rock pretty much any concept in their ranks. So just make something and roll with it.
Go forth and be awesome Sirs.
seekers deluxe
IG i think the Stygians would most fear a well organised, productive type who started making the docks prosperous... a trader or smart leader maybe?
Well, to be fair, the only three Sons I ever saw around are supposedly dead now. So there's no easy way to join. Unless there are new Sons in GMT evening timeslots?
Need Moar
ok
Can't believe I haven't given my seal of approval yet.
This is utmost win. Fighting for freedom is an excellent motivation, and with the Docks picking up again after a recent low, things are really going well. Look for the new added content with sending systems and shops.
Also, I need to seriously point out that there are no laws in the Docks. That means you can do anything you want. Anything. Your imagination is the limit. Should you decide you don't want the Sons, consider then becoming a Docksman. I can't imagine a single concept not fitting there. Also, our Queen's a prostitute.
To add: Most fun I've had in 2 years on this server.
Should be some good things coming up for all sorts of characters. The Ilmater temple is in, mercantile affairs are building up well, and other more devious things as well. Hop over towards the docks and Sons asap :P
This faction needs the players. I really enjoyed my time as a Son and Docks PC, great endless fun with very few social stigmatas, so I'd recommend it for newer players easily.
Far too many Stygian/Count/Duchy allies in the server at the moment. What is needed is some good old fashioned alcohol fuelled bucaneers.
What's needed is more Akadian followers who'll join me in converting the island.
Sweet faction. Join it!
A great faction with a lot of leeway, from what I have seen.
Would especially love to see some members with a mind to match their thuggish nature, this isn't just a faction for drunken thugs, for sure.
Be you a master criminal, a freedom fighter, gang leader or merchant. You can find a niche in the sons.
It's probably the most enjoyable faction ive had the pleasure to be in. Its actions are decided more by the players than any other faction in my mind.
This faction is one of the servers greatest feats. With it's behavior and acts it makes for a fun play. Also I will add
that this faction will need the most players because of their death rate.
This faction recieves the largest death rate because they are killed off by the ziggurat half the time. However the characters who do die somewhat early are some of the best I've seen for some time.
What? You haven't applied for the Sons of Sabuth yet?
What are you doing?! Get your ass over to the submission forum right away!
A good faction. Players are mostly left to their own devices with the occasional nudging from a DM.
This is a faction I would gladly recommend.
They don't need any more love right now, to be perfectly honest ^.^
Sons were cool
Thanks for the bump LIS. More Sons of Sabuth tbh, let's take over.
Did you hear? The Sons are now EVEN COOLER than before! Apply today!
Sons' landed to be one of the most rocking factions of EFU right now. If you've a taste for conflict situations and plenty of faction goals to strive for, I would dearly recommend this faction to everyone.
The faction gets into so much epic conflict.
Do it
Also, some GMT-ers should apply so I'm not asleep when all the awesome stuff happens!
War is coming! Or it'll fizzle like all those other times.
Who knows? Just make sure you get a piece of the action if something does happen. Join today!
Join the Sons of Sabuth or you will regret it for the rest of your miserable life.
I have quite abit planned for The Sons, so if your looking for some sweet love then I suggest you jump ship from now.
Join the Sons or I will cut your brakes.

You really know how to get your point across. I like it!
Goodness gracious, yet again, we are low on PCs!
The Sons may have disappeared off the streets, but they are still very much alive, kicking, and involved in lots of rad plots.
If you've always wanted to make a shady Docks PC with a penchant for muggings, rebellion and terrorism, the Sons have recently become a much more hospitable home for these kinds of characters!
On the one hand we have the cool calm sophisticated Offbit, On the other we have the insane one armed Red.
Come join us in bringing docks flavour!
Hey all,
I'm interested in talking to someone about a possible concept (DM or player) given I have some free time.
There may be a one or two spoliers, but I'm hella interested in the faction (if it's still going that is!)
Cheers.

We're still here. Drop by #sons or send some PMs.
I am gonna app for a son pretty soon!
sons are getting alot of interest as of late. Its great, feel free to contact me or join #sons if your interested in joining and need help with ideas for concept or apps.
I couldn't agree more with playing a Sons PC. They are awesome to play with, guarantee pvp, and add atmosphere to the docks.
Bump-lestiltskin.
The Server is prime when every faction is thriving and PCs still make their own factions. We're closing in on that magical time!
I disagree. A server like our own does better when all of the PCs are constrained to a few active factions at a time. We just don't have the numbers to support all of the factions all of the time!
I gotta say!! The docks are looking up! And the sons are still alive! Who says you need to be evil!?! Join my character in balancing out the docks, be a good guy for the docks! And if all else fails, be CE cyric like the rest yo!
Bumping this faction. They need some serious love.
Make White the Son imo. Combine with Red, become Pink. That is the key to victory.
Goodness gracious!
Insta-entry -and- an awesome prelude to begin with?
This is ludicrous! My ghast has never been so flabbered!
Do not miss this stellar opportunity, ladies and gentlemen.
I would tottaly be down for this but i suck at apps, anyone want to write one for me? :P
Yes., I can help. I'm approved for Sons but I have NOBODY to hang with when I get in. Well, other than my cult ;).
That apparently nobody is interested in NC's offer is just baffling.
Yes, very surprising indeed... Maybe people were just a bit slow to put the apps in, it's only been like two days, after all.
Four active characters, actively recruiting. Join us, join the docks, it is awesome!
*cough* Also, good characters would do great. *nodnod* We aren't all evil, lol
