Those of the Twilight:

I pen this scroll with desire to join the Canyon.  It is true I have
recently been initiated into the Pack of the Windwolf.  It is also true the
path I walk is lightly shaded.  And yes, it is true as well I wish to see
the fall and destruction of order, law and the Guardians.  Order, law and
Guardians--- those things are hindrance and obstruction, encumberance and
deterents.  Order, law and the Guardians allow civilization to thrive and
decay the pristine lands; those things do not allow the Pack to raze and
destroy encampments of order and artificial.  

I suppose I can continue to do the work of the Windwolf without the Canyon,
but as seen recently it seems you and I have come to blows when our blows
should be directed at the Guardians.  Reject me, and I still fight to
eradicate the Guardians.  If I am accepted, all the better; swarming numbers
and brute strength do nothing but strike fear into the decaying city-ghouls
of civilization and wrest power from the Guardians.  I would like to make
your number larger.  

I await your word, by mouth or scroll.

It seems that my lot has been cast earlier than I had hoped.  I had
planned to gain my final title, and then speak to my allies and cohorts in
the canyon about membership, however Syalaesti has enraged me beyond
control.  We must smite the guardians, and remove their leader, Erythies,
the freakish lizard-being, from this world forever.  I believe that I will
be an asset, and I can certainly deal much damage to those who stand before
us.  With Isstyehts I have shown myself to have heart and the strength to
carry out plans.  

I remain,
Yours,
Kachk, Wielder of big axes.

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.
