Gravesworn- Servants of the First

Here is the official home thread for the Gravelord User Covenant, now named by a greater concensus the Gravesworn.

We exist to propagate the Misery Nito would want us to inflict on the living as well as providing a strong support network for new Gravelords or veteran players who have considered joing but considered the Covenant broken.

Lore

We art-

"The souls of lost humans who swore thier Oaths to Nito, Lord of the Dead, and were granted new bodies comprised of many corpses of the Undead that roam Lordran. In doing so Nito made his servants immortal and charged them with bringing about the new age he desires. Each Gravesworn is bound to Nito and can channel his malice through the Eyes of Death to spread vast quantities of misery throughout the world. Nito named his most trusted servants Heralds, the harbingers of a form of his ill will toward the living"."


Like all Covenanters we play to serve the Great Lord of Death by accruing as many Eyes of Death as we possibly can.

For too long we the servants of Nito, inheritors of his glorious powers, have shunned the light of Lordran. We have wandered alone seeking the deaths of our enemies. Now Nito has called to us to forge him an army equal to those of the other Lords.

We shall rise from the crypts of our ancestors and march forth!

We shall target the following areas for now

SL20- Burg, Parish, Depth

SL 60- Sens/ Anor Londo/ Painted World


SL 80- The dens of the other Lords!

SL 120- Anywhere you so choose




At present the Adimistrators of the Covenant are-

ViralEnsign_- PSN

DxV04- XBL

Rankings

Within the Gravesworn we will have a Ranking System that will allow us to determine our own dedication to the Gravelord Nito, as well as identify veteran Gravelorders who have put a lot of time into this Covenant.

Rank 1- (requires an intiation) 10 Eyes- Ressurected

Rank 2- Gravelord Servant +1, 20 Eyes- Gravebound

Rank 3- Gravelord Servant +2, 30 Eyes- Deathstalker

Rank 4- Gravelord Servant +2, 40 Eyes- Coffinmaster

Rank 5- Gravelord Servant +3, 50 Eyes- Herald of *

* ( the suffix of the title is subject to request, and will be first come first served)

Our base of operations it the Catacombs where we have unrestricted access to our lord as well as the home field advantage (not to mention BP Bonewhell Skeletons). Also whe have a Smith close by to us, as such I would like to see some of you perhaps using Fire weapons or even Chaos.

Gravelords serve Nito as idividuals and as such we have a variety of skilled individuals and at Nito's command ranging from long dead knights, to socrcerors of unbelivable power, and mighty and faithful clerics.


Though a member of this covenant must have access to either the Gravelord Sword or Gravelord Great/Sword Dance.

Allies


Priscilla's Lifehunuters


Spoiler:

Priscilla, Daughter of Seath the Scaleless, commands a band of extremely dangerous warriors known only as the Lifehunters. These soldiers have allowed us access to her domain on the condition that we do not attempt to slay her. The deal is struck. She will be a powerful ally against Seath and the other Lords.

Enemies


The Noble Knights


Spoiler:

This group of holy warrior have sworn to end the threat of the undead in Lordran and have made several forays into the Catacombs recently. Led by a powerful knight they tread our unholy domains and seek to end the unlife of our Lord Nito in all his many forms. These are our greatest of enemies and must be executed at all costs. Though they are strong they are only undead and will eventuallyy go hollow. We shall endure.


The Inheritor's of Sunlight


Spoiler:

The successors of Lord Gwyn who seek to establish the rule of the Dark Flame. They have sided with the mad Gwyn and his ilk and pose a great threat to our goals. having inherited several Lord Souls they are extremely powerful and should be treated as if they were the godspawn themselves

Thats it. Get out there and start making your builds for the aforementioned SL ranges.
While we will be an organised group there is nothing to stop you from invading and taking out fellow members.

We are Currently at war with the Noble Knights User Covenant and have fought with them in the Tomb of the Giants already. It was a narrow defeat and the turn out was less that we had originally hoped for but it was great fun. Next the Gravesworn go the the aid of our allies the Lifehunters to prevent the same defeat we suffered at the hands of the Noble Knights.

The Last score was 26-25 to the Noble Knights. Curse your name Oscar II!

Vocations

Vocations are the Orders withing the Gravesworn which are composed of the Black Plague, the front line soldiers and token forces operating in the Painted World, the Ebon Hand, our spies and agents, and the Bonecallers, Priests and Devotees.

Each Vocation will have a leader who will be a part of Nito's Inner Circle.

The Black Plague- A Vocation primarilty designed for those with a focus on STR builds or Gravelord Sword builds. The Black Plague are warriors without peers with thier legends dating back long before thier service to Nito. As a sign of his unyielding faith in his warriors Nito granted them blades made from shards of his own body, filled with his own combination of lethal toxins these blades need only scratch a foe to inflict mortal wounds.

The Ebon Hand- A Vocation designed for those who put emphasis on DEX or use Elemental Weapons. The Ebon Hand are a brotherhood of skilled spies and assassins whose exploits are known the world over though whose perpetrators are rarely ever known. They have infiltrated the highest echelons of power in almost every nation and thier information network is second to none. These spooks make use of blades of exotic nature with such skill that few can stand before them.

The Bonecallers- A Vocation for those who put emphasis on INT or FTH and intend to make Caster builds. The Bonecallers are Nito's priests, necromancers, and those who maintain the crypts in his stead. Occultists and Maleificars compose this coven of magic users. As such these masters of magic and faithful abilities make use of a variety of abilities ranging from the calling forth Nito's own essence in the forms of towering bone blade to homing souls shards.

While to Vocation is exclusive to a specific build they are primarily for each of thier attributed builds.
