The Hands of Darkness, Praxeum and the agents of E.P.O.C.H presents……
A cross-guild feature story!




The “August – September” Storyarc: Knightfall!
Set: 05 ATC


On a routine diplomatic mission to Alderaan, one of the border planets with the Sith Empire, the Jedi find their contacts brutally slain. Blasterbolts scar the site revealing that a mysterious brotherhood, composed of powerful Sith lords and skilled soldiers, have posted several bounties on the Jedi diplomats as well as their Alderaan contacts. It has attracted the attention of many fortune seekers and those that want to establish a name for themselves in the galaxy. A Jedi is after all the ultimate prey.

The Jedi Council demands an investigation and has asked the Jedi of the Praxeum to reveal the truth. As they further investigate the slaughter, tension rises between the Jedi investigators and the Alderaan security, could the tension further damage the frail reputation of the Jedi. Following clues of the captured hunters they come across pirates that aren’t all they pretend to be.

They are Sith Lords! Even more shocking is the fact that these Sith are not acknowledging the ‘Treaty of Coruscant’. And are working to create an uprising amongst the Alderaan people taking the recent slaying of their top politicians as the ultimate opportunity to incite hate and aggression against the Jedi guardians and the Republic. As the Jedi of the Praxeum work closely with the bounty hunters the Sith from the Hands of Darkness are threatened to exposed. Will the Jedi be able to stop the rising tension? Will the bounty hunters switch sides and betray the ones that hired them? Will the bounty hunters work with the Sith to destroy the Jedi reputation in the galaxy? Will the knights of the praxeum reveal the hidden brotherhood to the rest of the galaxy?

None must survive if the secret of the brotherhood is to be kept a secret……

Where the story goes from here is up to all the allied guildmembers to make up!
This feature story will be hosted all month (till 15th of September) by the Hands of Darkness!
Praxeum will host the next cross-guild story starting in October for all allied guilds to enjoy!!

Lets have a great story! Looking forward to seeing you all

This looks really exciting – and it's our first ever cross-over RP invite!
I'm off to build a Bounty Hunter alt right now!!

*Red runs of in the direction of Evil Wizards country...

Sounds good I won't be able to join until after the 27th though, i've got a new BH character in mind though

Just to let you all know, I've been in touch with Mynock and the suggested roles for E.P.O.C.H. players are very much just suggestions and non-BH characters will by no means throw off the balance or planned structure of the story. So feel free to sign up with any character you like!

This does look like good fun and I'm well up for it.

I've registered at HoD (well, 3 days ago actually) and still awaiting an email confirmation (done all the usual checking of spam / trash folders etc).

You should be all set Lunarwolf

Fixed your registration today!

Thanks Mynock

THIS.....LOOKS......AWESOME!!! lol

Definitely going to try and hop in for some crossguild action!

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in this event.

Right, I've got myself a Bounty Hunter all ready (Kaleko Cyn), and just to let everyone know here, Mynock has mentioned that this RP will be starting

1st September *

So you have plenty of time to get your characters sorted in advance. Just please remember to drop the guys at HoD a message letting them know you are interested (links on the first post of this thread) so they can get an idea of numbers.

You don't specifically have to be a member of E.P.O.C.H. to be a bounty hunter (or anyone else in this RP) but you are welcome to be so if you wish.

Its set 5 ATC so please keep that in mind when designing your character.

So far, confirmed E.P.O.C.H. Players involved (with characters):

Redwatch (Eamonn Keel, Bounty Hunter)
Lunarwolf (Kaleko Cyn, Bounty Hunter)


Thanks!


* If this data changes I'll update it.

This sounds interesting I just hope I can use Sen as a Jedi Knight. It sucks that you have to register to see anything on the board. I am not too keen on registering for too many forums.

So far the interest in this project has been far exceeding my expectations! Cant wait to see what you will all bring to this epic storyline

So with the date of this RP being set for the 1st, does this mean we can confirm PJK as a participant?

Any one else? I know there have been many interested parties over at the Praxeum and from the activity on the sign-up thread at HoD we can tell a lot of their members are going to be involved. I can't wait to show off our Guild's roleplaying prowess! lol

Well hopefully Nex will be joining us with Raynor Starfire (though you'll need to register with Hod's website, mate - if you include [EPOCH] in your registered username the turnaround is pretty quick), but do we have any other takers?

This would show good inter-guild diplomacy and I would hope at least our HoD Ambassador will join us?

Speaking of which, where is Tando these days?

I'm so up for this! I'm assuming we can use existing characters? I think E.P.O.C.H needs a leader. Seriously I've used "The Mysterious Falleen" once as an NPC and in a failed RP that I started over at the GTC, so I would LOVE to bring the green machine along so that I can actually do something with him. He's my pride and joy after all!

Oh...Emm...Gee...!!

Isn't that, like, indecent or something? Whipping your green unmentionable out in public!?

Hahaha! Well I didn't say he'd be visible 'in the flesh'. A good set of armour can hide these things.

Well the diplomats should be over at yours at least once or twice week, to give us reports so I'll ask him for you.

I'm going to sign up over there now

Your account is all set up PrioryJK, all set to cause some damage and kill people...

rubs hands together........

Anymore takers?

The story is set to kick off and we would love more Agents of the E.P.O.C.H. to join in on this rare and unique event!

I#m very tempted to be honest, but I know I just won't have much time to participate at the minute. Real life has got me overworked again!
