Motto: Deeds not Words

Location: The Valley of Harborage

The Order of Seraphim is a Coalition of Allied Factions, a pact or treaty among individuals or groups, during which they cooperate in joint action, each in their own self-interest, joining forces together for a common cause.

Known as an elite unit whose training focuses not only on traditional military skills but also on its strong esprit de corps. As its men come from different realms with different cultures, this is a way to strengthen them enough to work as a team. Consequently, training is often described as not only physically challenging, but also very stressful psychologically.

OOC INFO

All questions, comments, concerns should be directed to jenaiangelique@gmail.com
This is just a group for those looking for another story line path. Its main purpose is to give another ?Family? and ?Military? background to those wishing to utilize it?s core.

The COS is not a LAWFUL Group, but it is not EVIL or UNLAWFUL as they are filled with many from other backgrounds and ?book realms?

The COS Is not in Rhydin but North of it. If you wish to have your Char Live in Rhydin you are more than welcome to. You may also visit Rhydin any time you wish and we encourage you to do so.

Do not use the COS as a way to step on other Chars. Everything you do reflects on the COS and most of all me. You know I get a case of the ass when it comes to being bullying others.

IF YOU SEE any COS Member acting incorrectly or in violation to RDI/Dragonsmark TOS Please screencap and link the log and contact Jenai. All issues will be handled In House.

If you have a SL you would like the COS to be involved in, let us know! Send jenaiangelique@gmail a letter or hit her up in FACEBOOK or AIM.
