Bayt al-Yakdib

As matters have shifted substantially in game, and though I am hesitant to recruit OOCly for this sort of thing, I've taken quite a few swings IG over the months for good and for ill and figured as things are developing may as well dip a toe into the OOC recruitment pool. The name Bayt al-Yakdib may have been heard in a new context as a result of myself and a few other PCs actions.

ICly my PCs reputation has been pretty often called into question which is by design! But pushing things further here's some details.

My PC is a Warlock (SF Conjuration, Sf Enchantment, Sf Necromancy) who has managed to beg, borrow, and steal his way to a great deal of things working with a variety of seedy characters as a patron of the black arts and criminal elements. Equally as a somewhat contentious and effective figure of the Gold League, and the Tower of Q'tolip.

It has helped build a curious sort of framework to help accommodate for a great many styles of play.

Things were popping quite a bit for a while in game as a lot of things were moving at once, but as things have slowed I just wanted to ring the bell of opening for folks to consider.

- For the Scholarly inclined, a Thayvian-esque rise to power has now oppened the door for thayvian-esque apprenticeship among the Tower of Q'tolip. Wizards, Sorcerers, Astrologians, otherwise. I can't emphasize enough that it will come with higher risk than serving other Apothars - including possible character death or expulsion from the faction, but I would like to think efforts are underway that would potentially yield it higher rewards for a PC. Old Hands looking for some mischief or newer players looking to learn the ropes of black magic are welcome. This will be a harder path of Nadiri than working with someone else, but potentially more lucrative. You'll be given steps and plans to help you succeed but failure presents some sizeable repercussions.

- For the Politically inclined, a great deal of work has been done over the past months to tap into the Gold League's core ethos. Time as a Scribe in the Pyramid, time among the League Office, studying at the feet of Legates and Prelates and Magistrates and beyond has lead to some insights and machinations. PCs who are ambitious, devious, hungry for fame or power, or your classic "Deal with the Devil" tropes are welcome to seek me out.

- For the Criminally inclined I'm pleased to say the prototype worked. Oskruul Vraaz was a grease fire that I poured napalm onto and though it was a short lived partnership it set a lot of groundwork for methodology and planning, efforts and undertakings to really help try and cultivate a criminal element on v6. This chapter has been one of the roughest to get a footing on and I've thrown quite a bit of work into trying to help mitigate the struggles faced on my own outlaws this chapter. Wiggyboy and I were able to slowly put things through the paces and though there's still some kinks to work out I'm eager to try again.

Suffice to say we got options that fit almost any play style, at all levels of interest.

I've firmly believed for a long time EFU moves at its best when PCs have antagonists. We help fill the downtime. Though this chapter has been tough on antagonists as someone who's managed to sort of managed to thread the needle it just feels like a good chance to help give back to other PCs who want to start rocking the bells.
