As some may or may not be aware, OES has been making an effort to attack Sanctus through a number of both arcane and physical methods. All well and good, right? Well, let's see if we can get some more fun out of it.

OES is going to be creating a "caravan" of golems and packies that will be proceeding from the unclaimed void island between O|S and OES lands back to Charnel Hill. Without going into the RP rationale involved in what is happening there (yet), the point of those that choose to oppose us will be to destroy the caravan. Either by hit and runs till they kill all the golems and packies OR by finishing off the defending force/driving it off and then killing everything in the caravan. Pretty straight forward right?

Well then, lets get to the fun parts.
1) Because there are those out there that might want to get involved (for RP reasons), but don't want to make an overt move against OES for whatever reasons, you will be allowed to create a group of raiders to assist in the attack. Essentially, if you are willing to limit your numbers to some extent, you will be allowed to "disguse" your characters so that, even in death, we will be unable to identify who you are with or who you are individually. Thus, your guild could be involved and take part without worrying about sudden retaliation. If you choose to openly declare your alignment, you won't be thusly limited. The size of raider groups will be determine by how many "sign up" to get involved.
The one requirement on this is that you actually learn of the caravan somehow. OES will be making no IC attempts to hide what they are doing. Currently, O|S and =DP= are the only ones who will be readily aware. O|S because it starts on their border. =DP= because they have been investigating Umbran lands as of late for unrelated and would probably be at least peripherally aware of what is going on. If they choose to tell people what they see, then you may get involved. I don't intend to be a hardass about this.

2) The packies will carry bits of correspondace/ritualistic information, etc. that will detail what OES is trying to do to Sanctus. Future plans, reagents they will be seeking out, so on and so forth. Intercepting the caravans and stealing this information will result in 2 things. One, the slowing down of OES operations against O|S and two, clueing in the outside world to what is being planned against them.

Ultimately this is all designed to get the community interacting on a larger scale. Small bits of PvP interspersed with elements of espionage, intrigue, diplomacy, etc. If it leads to open war in the future, all the better. Blood rituals criss-crossing the land as OES works its curses against the world, Stonegate on a sacred hunt, Blackmarsh securing its borders and extending its co-prosperity sphere, Sanctus and the Court of Light declaring a Holy Crusade. Whatever. It might never come to that, but at least it is somewhere to go with things.

IF you are interested in being a part of the raid against the caravan, feel free to either PM on the boards or ICQ me. If you have questions, feel free to ask them here. Whether or not OES is opposed, we will carry out the caravan for internal RP, if nothing else. We will then proceed to hammer O|S again.
