Transmogrified

Each recruit that works in House Nyessagorm is handpicked. You don’t end up as part of our fraternity by chance, as it was foretold, you can say, for those who belong, it has always been in your blood, waiting to be discovered.

Each potential member has to go through rigorous testing of the mind, and the body, as to be a member of our fraternity is for life. You see, after you have proven yourself, there is a final test. In this test, you either pass and live or fail and die. Each potential candidate when they reach this last stage is well aware that they might not make it out. The choice is simple: drink from the chalice and become immortal…

Our training is rigorous, and many do not make it through to the end. At each step of their training, there are doors that they can choose to walk through, which will lead them away from the fraternity. For those who choose to leave, we have a technique that ensures they forget everything they have learned. This way, if they are ever captured, they will not be able to speak falsely about us. This is done as protection for the fraternity. In fact, the only thing that any candidate who leaves us freely will remember is that they came to our doors and found them locked.

The final graduation ceremony for the candidates is a test, of sorts. It is truly not a test, but more of a rite of passage. The candidates’ loyalty has been proven with their zeal and techniques learned and earned. The final ceremony dates back to the First Age, at the start of the great war. Times were different back then but the challenge remains the same. The First Ones designed the test to weed out those who were not worthy of being their followers. The candidates who pass with flying colors are given a proper burial. The Second Age was a time of peace and prosperity. The Third Age was a time of war and chaos. The Fourth Age was a time of peace and prosperity once again as the cycle goes, back and forth.

The First Ones were a group of beings who were said to have the ability to see the future. They foretold that a great darkness was coming, and in order to battle it, they would need spies. In order to create these spies, they built a chamber that would make physical and mental modifications to those who entered it. However, the chamber only worked if the person entered of their own free will. Those who did so would experience pain for a short time, but the process was quick. At a genetic level, the chamber would seek out something in the person’s blood and allow changes to occur. It is unclear exactly what these changes were, but they supposedly gave the person special abilities that would help them in battle.

The ceremony is conducted in a special chamber that has been consecrated for this purpose. The floor of the chamber is engraved with a complex series of symbols and sigils, and the walls are lined with candles. In the center of the room is a great cauldron, filled with a bubbling black liquid. Around the cauldron stand the members of the coven, each clad in a long black robe. The High Priestess stands at the head of the circle, her arms raised in salute to the midnight sky. When all are assembled, she begins to chant in a voice that echoes through the chamber. As she chants, the candles begin to flicker and dance, and the surface of the black liquid boils and churns. The Rite of the Raven is one of the most important ceremonies in our tribe. It is a time when we become Ravens – flying creatures who can soar through the skies and see the world from a whole new perspective.

The ceremony was enacted with great solemnity. The High Priestess, flanked by her two acolytes, knelt before the Chamber and bowed her head in respect. She then intoned the words that had been passed down through the generations, telling of the creation of the world and the people who had first populated it. She spoke of the great cyclical nature of time, and how the chamber had been created to protect those who slept within it from the ravages of the seasons. Finally, she paid tribute to the House Nyessagorm, who had been entrusted with its care. After a moment’s silence, she rose and signaled to the acolytes, who each took a position on either side of the chamber before it is activated, as it was written.

This chamber is all that remains of the lost city of Nyessagorm, and it is said that within its walls lies the key to salvation. The candidate goes in alone, carrying nothing but the knowledge of their ancestors. Once the process has been completed, and the chamber doors open, either the candidate has completed the process, and flies out, or the two acolytes positioned at either side of the chamber door will remove what remains and prep for the next candidate. It is a great honor to be chosen for this duty, and it is an honor that has been passed down from one generation to the next, especially for those who complete the transformation.

Murder

House Nyessagorm is a fraternity of spies, and as such, its members are trained in unique combat and information gathering. They know how to defend themselves in their natural form; however, every member of the Guild has a unique ability they can draw from. When House Nyessagorm members need to escape quickly, they turn into ravens. This is a special power that is given to them upon their graduation, that helps them avoid being seen and helps them get away.

This ability to blend in and go unnoticed makes them such effective spies. In situations where it would be unnatural to see a bird, they will return to their previous form to help blend in. This allows them to get close to their target without being detected. Ultimately, their ability to take flight and escape detection makes them valuable members of the fraternity.
