[align=center]Out of Character Information[/align]

 

[align=center]Moirai is a hardcore roleplay environment striving to provide a premier and immersive experience for those wishing to go above and beyond the norm. Expertly crafted, we have created this company with the intent of refocusing the "guild" environment around the individual while maintaining functionality as a collective. The commitment you make to Moirai will not go without noticeable character rewards ranging from personal growth to the sensation that you are truly part of a hard-working, creative, and exceptional community. [/align]

 

[align=center]Moirai's belief system revolves around the idea that fate is malleable but there are certain fixed events that will occur throughout a persona's life. We consider our doctrine on fate to provide peace of mind for those who feel lost, those who have experienced great loss, and those who desire to put faith in something bigger than themselves.[/align]

[align=center]We revere the Goddess Nymeia, but are not to be confused with a religious order or overly devout worshipers. [/align]

 

[align=center]Moirai would be better considered a collective, a commune, and a spiritual movement.  As members of our free company and therefore members of a spiritual collective you would be committing to living as part of the group and therefore responsible for performing certain functions within a self-sufficient homestead. We call these functions "specializations" which can be found on our website as well as the Free Company thread you see before you. [/align]

 

[align=center]If you do decide to join us and do wish to fill out an application please note that we have a tiered "leveling" system intended to enlighten your toon through in-character tasks. You can also find this information on our website.[/align]

 

[align=center]If you'd rather have a more personal approach to things, please feel free to contact Vier Delacroix or Aislin Rivers to chat with us in game. We're always happy to answer questions.[/align]
