Intro: The Angelic Order of the Knights Magier is the premier Angelic clan on Muelsfell. Our goal is to be good, not because we are sissies, or because we seek a moral high ground, but because we are "Alright fellows", and that's how we get stuff done. Our actions reflect a competitive nature, as well as a desire for the well being of others.
The goals of the order are deep and numerous, but are at all times in the interest of all. We are Knights of Wisdom, formed to be a light for the world, to be champions for righteousness, and to be guardians of the sanctity of our art.
A note to prospective members:
We would like to invite anyone to join us in the Knights Magier. The perks of membership are tempered by the burden of duty, but are significant and include access to the best equipped armory in Muelsfell, salaried positions, production assistance, and complete combat and design training.
Those willing to invest themselves in the clan will soon find themselves able to challenge any of the premier magus of the world. We will make Knights out of you.

Rules and Requirements:
1) Be Good
2) Promote the goals of the Order.
3) Act according to the eight pillars of virtue.
On virtue:
In our pursuit of virtue, it is important to have some guiding principles. We hope that by bending your motives around these pillars, your actions will naturally turn to righteousness. So, act in pursuit of these things:
Truthfulness, Compassion, Perseverance, Authority, Sacrifice, Honor, Duty, and Humility.
The following is an excerpt from The Thousand Qualities of an Upright Magus:
As Magi, we have a responsibility to bring positive change into the world. Positive change comes as the result of virtuous behavior; hence comes our responsibility to act in accordance with the eight virtues, and to promote them within the realm. It is important to understand how the pursuit of virtue affects the different aspects of our work...
Virtuous combat is Honorable and direct. We fight most often out of Duty, to accomplish specific goals, but also to enforce Authority. When we enter combat we are expected to be Perseverant and often to Sacrifice ourselves so as not to dishonor our work by giving in early. We do not pursue Honorable conflict on Saint Belin's Day.
Virtuous relations are Truthful, and Compassionate. Do not knowingly utter a lie to another Magus, and Honor any promises. Be of Humble aspect at all times when dealing with other people, unless you are in a position of Authority. To be Compassionate in conversation you must be sensitive to subtext, and certain you understand what is being said to you.
Virtuous economy is pursued with Perseverance, and industry. It is Honorable to pursue wealth when it does not conflict with your Duty. Duty and charity often call for Sacrifices. Responsible use of wealth is important to maintaining Humility. Last Edited: Jun 17, 2008, 1:24 am |

Good luck with your guild. :) yeah, doing a Tales of Mu guild was too tempting, otherwise I'd be joining you in a light-oriented guild.

Just to remind everyone, we're still here. For those of you who are unsure, I want you all to know that there will be some pretty significant benefits to joining the Knights Magier, as we happen to be rich as a middle eastern oil tycoon. I'm not even kidding.
You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.
We could afford two Platinum Golems each, with solid gold medallions.
We have art too.
Art that looks like a Rorschach test.
That makes it abstract... And cool.
You could be cool too, if you started hanging out with us.
We might even let you wear the medallion.
Maybe.
If you're cool enough.
Which you would probably be after hanging out with us for a bit.
So, yeah, go ahead and wear the medallion.Last Edited: May 4, 2008, 4:54 am |

| What is your clan's primary focus going to be? As in, even though we do not know all the "paths" a clan can take, if all you think is reasonable will be available, what path do you see this clan taking? |

| Huh... Somewhere in those edits I removed the note that said we were going with a Melee specialty. I believe that is consistent with the image I want for the Order. As for our secondary, we'll jump that hurtle when we get there. |

I guess this is just a bump really, but our introduction has been updated to reflect our current position. With any luck, we will have an opportunity to work with most of you who read this at some point, and we wish that those dealings might be graceful.

According to my records, you were tagged for golem misuse and afforded the 'no protection' status. Action from that point is up to the individual Knight's discretion. The Knights Magier advise you to reconsider your life choices and speak with a representative about restoring yourself to good standing.

All MAGIER members have been authorized by St. Coyne to take any actions we feel are appropriate to our well being and general peace of mind, and have liberal access to a plethora of high level exotic, adamantine, and transmuted golems, in addition to the best weapons technology in the realm to enforce this mandate.
Any who join will be subject to this privilege as well as immunity from from MAGIER hostility and general peacekeeping in exchange for reasonable contributions and clan assistance when necessary. Any Magus of sufficient level is welcome to join regardless of past dealings or alignment, though a good alignment and standing with other clan members will lead to an increase in individual privileges within the clan.
We look forward to your new membership.

Meaning, just because of my bad alignment, I must be attacked?
You guys should've named yourselves the crusaders. Warriors using faith as a glove to hide your hands from blood. |

Words like those alone are just slander. Bring a complaint forward to the Office of Inquisition. Latour is Acting Inquisitor-Superior. A letter directed to him should get you results.
If you, for some reason, can not discuss the matter with Father Latour, my role puts me as head of the Office of Inquisition. Hypatia can also take petitions, or any member of the Gold or Sapphire branches. |

| Curious as to why I was marked for an attack by Delano. I'm a positive alignment, had even been asked if I cared to join the Knights, had not responded one way or the other to that yet, and then was attacked twice. Have a feeling it would have been more if it wasn't for my missions for the Dimitrian Republican Guard. If you want the reports forwarded as proof, let me know, I'll be glad to do so. Add to this, I wonder how is someone with an alignment of Angel of Death and currently the 4th most evil of magi in the lands is a member of this 'good' guild? Last Edited: Jul 1, 2008, 9:16 pm |

As I said, good alignment and standing with other members of MAGIER is preferred, but not required to join. Anyone who is capable of making a positive contribution is welcome to join, regardless of alignment.
Perhaps Delano felt that his actions were necessary for his own security and peace of mind. He happens to be an active contributing member of the guild, and thus applicable for our numerous benefits, however if his actions are found to be in contradiction with the beliefs of the guild those benefits may be withheld.
The purpose of this thread is to explain the meaning, mission, and beliefs of the Knights Magier, and for prospective members to to ask questions regarding the clan. If you have complaints or comments which are not appropriate for this thread please direct them to either the individual MAGIER member you have dealings with, or Father Latour.

ACTUALLY, it's because FatherLatour and Delano are the same person. So he can do whatever he wants. Including joining another clan that Magier was at war with to spy on them.

Now, now. The Knights Magier should be applauded for devoting themselves to growing those virtues. Sure, they act like jackals, attacking indiscriminately and perniciously. Sure, everyone I refer this to this game stops playing after eight days because Magiers wreck every golem they have the instant their newbie protection expires. We have to forgive this.
Improving yourself takes time. Please, give these folks at least a month to grow some human qualities before you condemn them. I think it's admirable that these antisocial outcasts are banding together. It's the first step towards civilization!
Go, go, Knights Magier! Be gentle and courteous, and all that jazz! |

You make some good points, I'm seriously considering quitting. They have some sort of spiked chain which defeats stone golems easily. What's up with that? Everything I've tried has failed. At least if I quit CommComms won't be giving me anymore headaches.
Once spells are implemented, maybe me and the other members of my clan who have fallen victim to these so-called righteous folk might be able to defend themselves. Until then, just hope they run out of motivation and ignore the words of the political and propagational heads of this clan. They're obviously lies or else they stand for virtues their own clan doesn't follow. I refuse to talk to any father this or that in person, as they wouldn't do anything even if I forwarded on all 20 or so reports of everything being mangled by a weapon of mass destruction, the spiked chain.
You'll have to keep fighting me until I'm completely oblitterated, then I'll just come back and you'll have to fight me again. Unless the higher-ups balance some aspects first. |

Wow Father, you really have a clan to be proud of here. I'm sure Ark is thrilled with the great PR you're giving this game! I mean really, who doesn't love bullies?
CommComm, I noticed you mentioned guild a few times rather than clan. Is the definition of guild: "The organization of multiple clans by one person using multiple accounts to exploit and abuse the hell out of a beta game"? |
