The Ties to the Empire
The Imperial Intelligence Agency is it's own guild, here I will just clarify how we tie in with the Dark Empire.
1. Many of our members will be Imperialists
2. The guild comes first on any Shadow related things.
3. Sangwa is my master, not yours.
4. We will help out the other Imperialist guilds whenever we can.
5. Only the Imperial Intelligence Agency members who are Imperialists may interact with other Imperialists.
6. Only the Flame may make a Shadow an Imperialist.
The Disciple System
The Disciple system is put in place due to the nature of the guild. We can not have just anybody knowing
who our members are. Therefore, we have a screening process. The screening process is mostly for the
Flame to decide whether or not you are loyal enough. Skill is also highly taken into account.
As a Disciple, you have no ties to the guild besides that you may possibly be allowed to join it. Anybody
can become a Disciple but, once you are accepted, you are in, you can not change your mind without
falling into bad favour with the guild and the Empire.
Any questions you may have about being a Disciple may be asked via PM. They may not all be answered but,
they will all get replied.
For Hire
The Imperial Intelligence Agency will offer many services. Not all of them publicly known.
The prices should be reasonable. If you find they are too high you can always
give us time to scope out the playing field. There is a good chance this will
significantly lower the price.
The prices will be decided by the Flame or whoever he puts in charge.
Nothing more than this will be public. If you are not sure whether we offer the
service you need or not, then ask the Flame in private.
Conclusion
The IIA is a dark guild, we don't want any goodie two shoes but, on the other hand, we don't want any reckless people.
If you wish to see if you are good enough, then find the Flame, Nurahk Threesouls. He is usualy by harnquists or in Kada-els.
Another option is going to the
forums and filling out an application.
