A hidden blade. A whispered word. A quick flash of fingers in a pocket.
Night's Embrace is a band of the... less savory citizens of Faerun. Those who aren't above ending a life for a few coins, or helping themselves to someone's hard earned money. Those who sell secrets to the highest bidder.
Night's Embrace has been around for as long as anyone can really remember. Parents warn misbehaving children that "Night's Embrace is watching", and peasants and nobles alike fear to wander alone after dark.
Night's Embrace has hands, and eyes, and blades everywhere. Many political advances throughout history at least partially found success through the subtle assistance of Night's Embrace.
Night's Embrace accepts absolutely anyone into their ranks, as long as they can prove their usefulness. And if the average citizen knew just how many ordinary-seeming people really owed allegiance to Night's Embrace...
Some people join Night's Embrace to get rich, others because they crave power, or glory. And some because they love the feel of their blade sinking into an unsuspecting back. Whatever their reason, they find no judgements in Night's Embrace. Just family.
Those who wish to join Night's Embrace must first find a way to contact the shadowy organization. Many do not pass even this first test. Those who do, are successful through streetwise and determination. They ask the right people the right questions, and eventually find themselves being given a scrap of paper with an address written upon it in spiky handwriting, small and cramped. Some find this note in their pocket, with no idea who it got there. Others are approached by scruffy children with solemn eyes that have seen too much, or find the note waiting in their home on the hall table.
From there, the potential member need only show up at the given location. They will be approached, always by a cloaked figure who asks one question:
"When all is dark, how do you see?"
If the individual has done their research well, they will be able to answer thusly:
"With Night's Embrace."
Any other answer results in a most... unfortunate situation.
Once welcomed into Night's Embrace, new members are greeted warmly, and many in the guild refer to their peers as "brother" or "sister". Superiors are often called "mother" or "father" by those beneath them.
Members of Night's Embrace must be willing to die to protect the secrets of the organization and its members. All new initiates are given a fast-acting poison, and are expected to use it if captured.
Do you believe that you have what it takes to join this unusual, yet powerful family?

Thanks, everyone.
Can I get the Timezone for most of the guild members?
So far, three of us are Central Time, and I'm not sure about the fourth member. Ideally, we'd like to eventually have members of all different time zones, so there is always someone online to play with.
Can I join this is my character name xZodiac I'm new tho so still sucks....
If you are level 10+ and are willing to roleplay, feel free to check the website out and submit an application!
Also, whoever applied as Ferverus Karuna, you were accepted, but did not supply your Neverwinter account name, so we can't send you an invite yet. Please, let me know your Neverwinter account name (something@something else) so we can get the guild invite to you!
