THE COVENANT
ABOUT THE COVENANT
The Covenant is an agreement aimed at fostering cooperation, unity, and shared governance among guilds. Rooted in the principles of honor, justice, and protection of the realm, this treaty seeks to establish a collaborative environment that transcends individual guilds, promoting inclusivity and a sense of unity.
The Covenant is composed of two interrelated aspects:
The Peace Treaty and The Sanctum Initiative.
(Guild’s can be apart of both or just one.)
We want to mention that The Covenant is respecting the diverse preferences of participating guilds and communities. While fostering a collaborative environment, the treaty does not focus on roleplay elements, allowing guilds to engage based on their own preferences and playstyles.
The peace treaty
The Covenant Treaty is a coalition of guilds dedicated to the pursuit of cooperation, diplomacy, and shared objectives. It encourages mutual support, resource-sharing, and the advancement of common goals among member guilds. Though it may seem like it, this Treaty is NOT an Alliance that takes up an in-game Guild Alliance Slot; though if at some point guilds would like to do so, we encourage it. The Peace Treaty seeks to establish a shared map of the realm, where guilds can coexist harmoniously, and to develop a coalition that reflects the core principles agreed upon by all member guilds. All Guild leaders participating in this treaty will be part of a Council, therefore being named a Councilor.
Within The Peace Treaty, each Councilor is granted equal rights and opportunities to propose initiatives for cooperation and collective action. Matters such as:
Joint Trade Agreements
Joint Offensive Wars
Defensive Pacts
Cooperative Events
Joint Caravan Offensive & Defensive Escorts
Though these will all be subject to open debate and consensus among Council members.
Council Members will consist of 1 guild lead and 2 Ambassadors of your choosing. Each guild will then have 3 representatives though only 1 vote as a whole.
The sanctum initiative
The Sanctum Initiative, led by The Divine Order, represents a node project aimed at harnessing the collective strength of allied guilds to build and develop the node as one cohesive entity. Under The Divine Order’s leadership, The Sanctum Initiative ensures that decisions made within the node align with everyone’s vision and values. This Initiative plans to share all of the benefits and wealth with all supporting guilds.
Here is what The Sanctum Initiative has so far.
Divine Coastal Node (TBD)
Chamberlain Priority for Freeholds
Patron Guild Priority
Host Node wide Events
Religious Progression
Ship Building & Escorts
The Grand Chamber will serve as the governing body of the Sanctum Initiative. It consists of representatives (Chamberlain’s) from various guilds, including The Divine Order, who come together to discuss, debate, and make decisions on laws and changes within the node. We are wanting only 2 Chamberlains per guild. The Divine Order’s leadership ensures that the node’s governance aligns with the vision and values of all participating guilds and all involved parties are holding their end of the bargain.
FAQ
Will this take up an alliance slot in game?
– No, though you may ask other guilds involved if they would like to. Please note that the Peace Treaty is more loosely committed to.
How big are we planning on making this Covenant?
– We plan to make this community Tight-Knit. Every current member will vote on if the next guild that wants in, gets in or not. So not every guild that exists will be receiving an invite. Though, we still want this to make an impact on whatever server we decide on joining. So, TBD.
Is The Sanctum Initiative and Peace Treaty the same thing?
– No, they are 2 different Pacts. You can choose to be a part of 1 or both. It’s up to you & your guild.
How committed do I have to be to request help from others?
– We will prefer that you at least participate occasionally by aiding those who request assistance from either pact you’re committed to.
How committed do I have to be to either agreement?
– As committed as you feel necessary. Though do realize everyone will and can judge your commitment and effort towards either agreement and as a whole, come to a meeting debating your status as a member of The Covenant.
If either of these proposals interests you and would like to talk about potentially joining in, then click “The Covenant” button to join the discord for it.
The only requirement when joining is that you are an Ambassador for your guild or the Guild Leader.
