Chosen,

In the last few months, a formidable surge in activity and a burgeoning desire for growth has been kindled among us. We’ve seen a change in leadership and fresh goals have been established. I thank you all for your contributions and encourage you to keep striving for your ambitions as well as the objectives of the Hollow.

As we push forward, much is to be planned and implemented. I intend to keep you all fully aware and up to date on potential plans, immediate and future objectives and ways you can all establish yourselves within the Sect. I urge you to come forward and speak to Ihsan, Nilo or myself about any suggestions and ideas you may have, or things you want to see carried out within the Sect.

Our ambitions are a group effort - though our personal targets are integral, it is only through synergy and partnership that our collective mission can be realized.

That said, our primary goal as a newfangled Sect is to establish our shrines in tactical areas. These include bashing areas and caravan areas. To begin, we must secure our altar by building shrines in the rooms around it for protection. Once our altar has been safeguarded, we can move on to a wider range of shrines.

This means that our current goal is to sanctify existing shrines to full capacity and keep belief up - at least over 60% at all times. Our current shrine can be found southeast of our altar (PATH FIND 657). Once there, if the shrine has not been recently sanctified by another Chosen, you may SHRINE SANCTIFY. If it has been recently sanctified, you may try again later, but in the meantime try your hardest to bash and sacrifice corpses at our altar. This will ensure our belief remains high and your personal faith remains full. You can monitor this with SECT BELIEF and SECT FAITH.

In the months to come, a flexible advancement program will be established for you all to work towards your personal goals for rewards. I will be writing another post to introduce this program fairly soon. If you have any ideas for advancement methods as well, please speak to me. As well, please ensure you keep up with the guild logs and news posts to stay up to date with Sect information.

Stay striving, Chosen. Your paths will become clear through arduous effort.
