"Help Horde"

In every age in existence there has been war. A world without war is a world without a spirit and a soul, an empty husk where brutality, violence and honor should fill the gap. There are those also in every age who choose to dedicate themselves whole heartedly to a single cause. They are the Horde, an organization started by warriors who sought to better not only themselves, but those of the same passion. Together they represent the might and the destruction of war. Comprised of the greatest warlords and champions of their age, the Horde seeks no purpose other than to gain additional skill in their fighting ability as well as combat those unworthy, in their eyes, to carry a blade.

However, as in every organization, greed and lust for power beset a portion of the warriors. Their percentage of the spoils of war were not enough to satisfy their cravings for wealth and so battle broke among the warriors, once friends and allies, now divided as enemies. The men of honor stayed loyal to the original Warlord of the Horde, now under a new banner and named the Dessrata, desperately fighting to ensure his rule, whilst the other section banded together in a coup decided on dethroning the Warlord and taking control of the spoils.

After many days of bloody combat the still surviving Warlord called a council to negotiate terms with the band that answered to the name of the Underhands. After a heated discussion it was decided that there would be a spilt in the cabal. The techniques of old would no longer be taught to the Underhands, they would now develop their own method of fighting, completely deviating from the path first taught. They would now govern themselves, taking half the spoils and dividing it as they see fit. The Dessrata would take the other half and continue teaching the ways of honor in battle to those willing to learn.

After an age the split still exists within the clan, two separate forms of combat training are still taught, but the divide between the Dessrata and Underhands is no more. Respecting each other for their abilities they now work together to accomplish goals in a force feared through out Archaeon.

If you deem yourself worthy to join the ranks of the greatest fighting force of this age then scribe an APPLICATION to Horde with the words "Horde application" in the subject line. Include reasons as to why you should be allowed the honor and esteem of furthering yourself in the art of combat as well as a brief history and any feats that would assist in your peers judging you. However beware, often those found unworthy who apply for the Horde turn up missing their life and more than a limb, floating face down in the local waterways.

" Help DESSRATA"

Bound by honor these warriors are the oldest section of the Horde. Using only the means of utter fairness in combat, they face their opponents using only their blade and ability learned by way of the Dessrata's training to more often then not come through victorious. Trained in techniques perfected by centuries of practice these warriors strike with a flurry of attacks that whilst lacking amazing strength, the sheer number is often enough to overwhelm any opponent.

Living by the virtues of the most model citizen these warriors can often be seen helping others in their times of need. However they are just as capable as the Underhands in combat and are a force not to be taken lightly. Armed with only a blade it has been recorded that ten Dessrata have slain an army of five hundred standard soldiers without much trouble using the ancient stances and techniques handed down through the ages.

"Help UNDERHANDS"

A selection of warriors known to use every means of winning in combat. They will find no shame in striking out in ways that many other warriors would agree stain the honor in battle. Hardened by years of training these brutal warriors have developed a style of fighting that will take advantage of every weakness an opponent has, not matter how dastardly it is. Using stronger attacks rather than the speed of the Dessrata's, they are a foe not to be taken lightly on any account.

Having spent many years perfecting their style of combat secluded from the rest of the Horde, these warriors are now every bit as capable in battle as their Dessrata counterparts. However it would be unwise to even consider that as a warrior trained in the style of the Underhands that he would not utilize every resource available; from the dirt on the ground to the vulnerable parts of the body usually left untouched in honorable combat.
