Astaroth has almost completed his transition from innocent pup to complete badass so he'll be starting to look for followers of the cult/society he wishes to create. Ast and his fox companion Berith would overseer the activities of this faction. The name of it being the assembly of the shade. The goal of this faction would be to recruit the rest of society. Killing those that strictly oppose them (Of course death is optional in all fights even if the character is beaten badly). The society will be based in Monoceros, I chose this place because it very rarely has visitors. The society would be based mainly on the platforms above the chasm, getting onto these platforms may prove difficult at first but I am planning to have some earth gembounds carve tunnels and walkways along the side leading up to these, these will provide protection from the whirlwind in the center of the room until you reach the platforms which are protected by their height, windchill is not a factor here either because of the hot air coming from the geothermal vents in the ceiling. This society's ranking will be based on a masonic structuring, consisting of two paths, one shorter with harder trials to show worthiness of rank or one longer, winding path with lesser trials, but many of them. Astaroth of course would be the top rank since he would have formed the faction. His fox companion, Berith would be his sublime prince of royal secrets.- 1- (both) Entered Apprentice 2- (both) Fellow Craft 3- (both)Master of Shade X- Shrine (Those who decide to go no further in the ranks and are granted citizens, may be called to do some mercenary work but will not be called to do so often and are safe from being attacked or harmed by the rest of the assembly.)
Path of intellect- 4- Secretmaster 5- Master of Perfection 6-Intimate Secretary 7-Provost/judge (Judge being self-explanatory and provost being an educator of those coming into the assembly. ) 8-Intendant of the Assembly 9-Master elect of nine 10-Elect of the fifteen (Only fifteen of this rank at a time, when a spot opens up the one that had been in the previous rank the longest advances into this rank) 11-Sublime Master 12-Grand master of Shade 13-Master of the eternal darkness 14-Grand elect 15-Knight of (tooth or claw) 16-Prince of Monoceros 17-Knight of Wind 18-Knight of the whirlwind of Monoceros 19-Grand Pontiff of flame 20-Bringer of fire ad vitam 21-Patriarch noir 22-Prince of the South-west 23-Chief of the tabernacle 24-Prince of the tabernacle 25-Knight of the brazen darkness 26-Prince of Ruthlessness 27-Commander of the Howling wind 28-Knight of void 29-Knight of the sovereign grand inspector 1 30-Grand inspector inquisitor commander 1,2 31-Sublime prince of royal secrets 1,2 32-Sovereign grand inspector 1,2			Path of Physical and mental endurance- 4-Mark master 5-Master of the past 6-Master Dicta 7-Shadow of the royal terrace 8-Order of the whirlwind 9-Knight of darkness complete 10-Knight of the sovereign grand inspector 1 11-Grand inspector inquisitor commander 1,2 12-Sublime prince of royal secrets 1,2 13-Sovereign grand inspector 1,2
I'll add more descriptions on details on each rank as interest increases in this society. Anyone can join by being apprenticed to someone who is higher than the seventh rank in the path of intellect or the fifth of the endurance path. With every rank comes a mark of your choice, they could be anything from cute made in rows to mark each tier you reach, though, you will get branded or cut with a required mark wherever you wish, this mark will depend on the path that you choose, I have not decided what the marks will look like and any submissions of what they should look like are welcome, I am thinking a glyph for the path of intellect and maybe a fang for the path of endurance? I'm not sure for either one and am very open to suggestions. I also would like to add an oath/pledge for those joining and at certain levels of rank. If there are any questions you have as to how the assembly would work or have any suggestions, or want to join, either comment or PM, I'll try my best to respond to everyone. *1-The ranks of the knight of the sovereign grand inspector and above require all ranks in both paths to be attained to reach these highest of tiers. *2-The three highest ranks only have one official that stay at their affixed rank unless they resign, are elected, or die. If the lowest of these ranks opens up then an election will be held out of the knight of the sovereign grand inspector where every member of the assembly shall vote to determine the victor of, the runner-ups are not allowed to speak to each other or any other members but for one speech at the beginning of their two-week exile from Monoceros addressing the people in what they may have to offer the whole of the assembly, during this exile they will attempt to prove their worth in acts of physical and mental ability. Also during this time any runner-ups are required to have the "dead is dead" icon on their profile, if they die then THEY ARE DEAD, these trials are meant to prove that the specified character has what it takes to run the society. If either of the top two spots open up then the one from the lower spot takes that position. Confirmed members- Berith (Aceus), @Berith

The first three to confirm that they are joining will instantly be promoted to either the seventh rank of the path of intellect or the fifth in the path of endurance.
