Nostra:EUropean Syndicate
| ||||||||||||
The "EUropean Syndicate", also known simply as a "Syndicate", is a mythical cult where the European Union is worshipped. Someone thinks it's just conspiracy, but in fact, its existence was never officially confirmed.
Members of European syndycate typically engage in getting informations and protection schemes, as well as playing silent partner in political operations. While the Syndycate doesn't exclusively engage in rulebreaking activities, there have been instances where some members have used bannable methods in their operations, like griefing or placing landmines.
In gaming terms, the European Syndicate is considered to be cult, that extracts protection money from cities, obtains secret information through various methods, and expands its influence throughout Central Europe.Some states consider the EUropean Syndicate to be an outlaw entity.
Origins
It isn't known, whet the Syndicate was originaly founded, but the earliest record of their existence is at Aurora, where they were seen near Brussel and Circletown in Pilbara. In that time, they were much more powerful and united than in these days. It controled almost 15 towns, had enormouhad wealth (5,000–8,000 of gold), even so, only a few chosen ones knew about his existence. Some rumors says that it could have started global war.
It’s not known exactly when, but only few weeks before end of the Aurora, the 1. civil war in the Syndicate started and and this led to the first collapse of the EUropean Syndicate, the weekly 15 gold fees were highly unpopular, so one mysterious player Zorix lead the rebels against the leader of the Syndycate and and this led to collapse of the EUropean Syndicate on Aurora.
In early days of Terra Nostra, the Syndycate began to grow slowly under the leadership of former members from Terra Aurora, however, they placed great emphasis on maintaining the syndicate's secrecy, so its subsequent actions remain unknown—with the exception of the recent civil war from September 25 to October 11, which was sparked by a dispute over membership fees.
The further fate of the EUropean Syndicate remains unknown.
Other information
Much like on Terra Aurora, the syndicate has several rules and rituals.
Induction ritual
An initiation ritual is required to join the European Syndicate. After the Syndicate contacts a player, they deliver a book containing a quest. Upon completing the quest, the player is invited to one of the secret bases in the wilderness, where, in the presence of at least two players, they die to a falling dripstone. This concludes the initiation ritual, making the player a full member of the EUropean Syndicate.
Subsidies
Subsidies – Upon submission of a proposal, the European Syndicate decides whether to contribute to a project or send its members to undertake actions such as griefing, lava casting, or hunting down enemies.
Vow of Secrecy
The existence of the Syndicate is strictly guarded. As soon as anyone even mentions it, the Syndicate will eliminate them, confiscate everything they can, and place a bounty on them for at least 1 month.
