The Darkness Stirs
After the Daemon prince Auren Phoenix plotted his departure from the Realm of Draconis Nexus, of the Outer realms, where the light of the worlds never shines, he put together a brotherhood, a union of Outsiders. These beings also, outcastes, nomads, and exiles, gathered and swore an oath of Treaty. To use their supernatural gifts, birthrights, or stolen power to benefit the whole so as to garner strength in numbers, from the many evils of the Abyss.
Dark Sun Rises
In this modern day, many dark and sinister things stir within the shadows of the mundane world. Some plotting their return to power, others the ultimate corruption of everything beautiful, but ultimately they serve a very dark plan. Those that are outside of the dark plan, the masquerade of doom, those that choose to be their own masters of their destinies, they are the unholy blessed. For they have sanctuary within the order. None can escape the dark mechinations of the masters plots, but they can choose not to be pawns, they can choose to be rogues, and they can find solace here. To raise their own citadels in history, and be the dark legends that the bards sing about in hell. Go out standing, fighting, a brilliant flare who's voice shook the heavens, or go out on your knees...

Tools for RP chat
All conversation outside SG chat is considered "In game" unless denoted by (()) around your statement, ie; ((brb drink)) So when speaking out of character (OOC), please use the appropriate annotations.
The Scripting for the ((OOC)): startchat bind is as follows;(note: it is important to mention that there must be a "space" after the : and before the " at the end of the bind, also there is no spaces between the shift+enter.)
Another fun Bind is the AFK bubble message, useful for displaying RP info about your character while you are typing, it is as follows;(note: it is important to inform you that the <,> brackets are not necessary for the bind, nor are the words "your message here" instead type the message you wish displayed above your character whenever you begin to type or are AFK, and also that a "space" must be after the afk, and before the $$.)
You can add some fun Macros with this Binding, allowing you to identify your current target (in game brackets) into your speech! It is best to demonstrate this Binding with an example;(note: It is important to mention that the "$target" part of the bind (which identifies in text your current target) needn't be at the end of the bind at all, or be followed by the "!". Insert the "$target" part of the bind, whever you wish the target to be identified in your macro. It is also important to mention that the ("local) beginner need not be local, in this example it was used to automatically say this bind in the local channel, there are many different channels... The Bind requires a "space" after the channel and again before the "$target".)
You can add emotes into your binds simply by dividing the parts of the bind with "$$" and beginning the emote with a simple "e". Example;(note: It is important to mention that there are no spaces between the end of any part of your bind and the $$e, beginner of your emote.)
You can also add your own powers into your binds with "powerexec_name <<the power>>", you can find <<the power name>> in your Powers list tray from the pop-up menu... Example;(note: It is important to mention that unlike emotes, powers do have spaces between each word in its name. Nor do you need to use the <<, or >> in your binds.)

The Sanctuary Lair
The Sanctuary itself is another dimension. The Cathedral built on the Archangel Azrael's grave, the monument where he fell in service to the light.
One angel against hordes of Daemon lords and Fallen angels, he stood resolute, a beacon of defiance under the greatest of odds. So impressed with his Valour, with his Prowess, and his courage, the Fallen angels ordered a dark citadel built upon where he finally fell, in commemeration of his final moments, never to be forgotten. The citadel stood in the Outer realms for hundreds of years a reminder to what it meant to give your all, and never accept defeat.
When the Daemon prince Auren acquired the blood of a Fallen (DarkWalker) he gained access to its long forgotten halls, and with the aid of members of the Order, cast powerful ancient magics to transport the location to his own sub realm, where he is master.
The Citadel was chosen for its symbolism, for fighting for what you believe in, for giving it all... for going out in a blaze of glory, its history is never forgotten or tooken for granted by the members of the Sanctuary, for its that essence that unites them all.
It has grown into the Safe Haven of Auren Phoenix and the Fallen Angel DarkWalker, where they operate and reside along with their fellow outcast's.
