Raider Basics
The Raiders of Twilight are a band of thieves and bandits, devoted entirely to the satiation of their basest desires. They live for the bloody acquisition of loot and plunder, and the notoriety that follows in its wake. Power, then, is only desired by Raiders insofar as it is a means to the satisfaction of their ends.
Originally known as the Circle of Twelve, the Raiders eventually grew in strength and numbers. Their savage attacks made their names feared throughout Avendar, and brought the attention of the dark gods, who gave them the power to become the Raiders of Twilight. With the guidance of the dark powers, the Raiders evolved into a highly efficient engine of destruction, first striking with overwhelming force and savagery, then ravaging the remains with gluttonous ferocity. Over the years, they have developed an uncanny ability to find weaknesses in their opponents, and have been known to ruthlessly take advantage of them.
The Raiders of Twilight are predominantly motivated by greed for wealth or power, and use force and cunning to satiate these desires. Raiders are never lawful, using their position as rogues outside of the bounds of society to their own advantage.
Goals of the house:
To rape, pillage, steal, filch, felch, kill, maim, murder the rest of the world. Also to people within the house.
Arkhural's revision:
The Raiders are a gang of bandits purely motivated by their basest instincs, e.g. greed, lust, gluttony, anger, etc. Unlike other houses, they are not united by any singular set of beliefs or motivations; Raiders are a strictly self-interested set of individuals, and have been known to frequently attack and/or kill each other over minor differences. The Raiders are unified solely by the fact that they can reap more for themselves by collaborating with others than they could on their own. There have been several periods in time when the Raiders were further united by a shared sense of fear/hatred, whether it was directed at the Guardians or at an iron-fisted leader.
Given the self-absorbed nature of most Raiders, those with an affinity for the sphere of water tend not to be well-suited for the life of a Raider, although this has not prevented several Raider Chieftains from inducting them as lackies. Typically composed of those individuals that were too fitful to languish within the hierarchical ranks of the thief guilds, Raiders tend to be chaotic in nature, with few-to-no compunctions about dealing-in-turn with the consequences of their violent actions. While their goals tend to vary from person to person, Raiders most frequently aspire to a lifestyle of fearsome notoriety, surrounded by riches, wenches, and cowering servants.
