Settlement: Hope's End

In the interest of promoting (currently heavily under represented) evil we're re-christening our settlement concept! After some discussions amongst ourselves, other parties, and general perusing of the forums we've decided to alter our initial concept and broaden our goals a bit. Please disregard my previous and horribly thought out recruitment thread.

Settlement: Hope's End
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Leadership: Oligarchy
Founding Company: Vox Silentii

Purpose: Provide an independent haven for all those that walk the darker path. Become the hub for underhanded contractors, questionable merchants, and followers of things decidedly unholy. We will heavily focus on training and supporting any aspect that is mechanically considered evil and therefore restricted for most other settlements.

Company Membership: Any company that meets the alignment perquisites (LE,NE,CE,TN) may join. Companies (and individuals for that matter) are free to come and go or participate in settlement management as little or as much as they wish. Company agency is left to their respective members.

Politics: None, we do not kneel and we do not seek expansion. Deals may be made from time to time, but they will not be of such a manner as to tie the entire settlement to another or restrict it's companies from conducting their business.

General Rules: Anyone is free to enter our settlement and do business within it's walls. As the mechanics are still somewhat unknown we will aim towards the lightest touch to maintain order. We're evil, not anarchists, take your fights outside. That said, reputation goes a long way even with us, keep yourself in good standing and you'll have less problems.

Any questions can be directed to this thread, via PM, or email at Vox.Silentii.PFO@gmail.com

Join us, and together we can build a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than the River Kingdoms have ever seen.

I am sure the ranks of evil shall swell with time, and when they do you are positioning well to receive them. You have my greetings and my wary eye.

Dark Archive Goblin Squad Member

Welcome. It is always nice to see more swell the ranks of evil.

Goblin Squad Member

Golarion needs a few good villains, hopefully we can oblige.

Goblin Squad Member

Looking forward to visiting your Settlement. My life for Golgotha, but seeing other Evil settlements will be nice. I also look toward the possibilities of sneaking through the shadows with some fellow Assassins.

Goblin Squad Member

I'm a little disheartened, after going through all the guilds there is only one evil guild in the top 30 and only a small handful out there at all. It's gonna be busy work being villains to all these do-gooders.

Dark Archive Goblin Squad Member

Aragon has a large CE contingent.

Goblin Squad Member

Don't fear Duffy. Soon all these "do-gooders" will get into the game and realize that their actual playstyle is making them go Evil. It will even out a little bit.

Goblin Squad Member

Ah my apologies, I forgot you guys were going CN. That should be an interesting settlement type.

That's a good point Tigari, curious to see how things shake out once we get to play and people have to deal with alignment and reputation.

Goblin Squad Member

I've added your Settlement to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list and placed it next to Vox Silenti. If you have a brief description you'd like to appear there to let people know about your guild while they're browsing that list, just PM me or post a clear request here.

Goblin Squad Member

Good luck to you Duffy, and to your settlement.

Shadow Lodge Goblin Squad Member

Yes good luck, we at Golgotha need a scapegoat, hopefully we can work closely together!

Scapegoat?! Come now, who would expect the honest independent (tho somewhat underhanded) contractor when the great Evil Empire is clearllllly the culprit. I mean all the evidence I left behind clearly points to them.

With a heavy (and black) heart we are closing down Hope's End and Vox Silentii for the purpose of the Land Rush due to a lack of interest. We have struck a deal to give us a base of operations with another settlement. We will still exist as a company once the game launches and I can still be reached by PM or email if anyone wants to keep up diplomatic contact. We will attempt to revive Hope's End at a later date in the EE, hopefully we'll get a bit more evil to spread around.

Goblin Squad Member

Good luck, Duffy.

Dang, really? I wanted to see this one.

Goblin Squad Member

I only managed to find a handful of people interested in evil but they had already latched on to another settlement. Couple of single person guilds out there but I couldn't get a hold of them and they wouldn't have added up enough. The forum community is pretty small compared to the eventual whole so we'll just have to try again in game. I have not given up entirely...just for now.

Goblin Squad Member

That is unfortunate, it sounds like it will be a great NE settlement when established!

I wish you luck in establishing Hopes End once the game is active, Duffy.

And who knows, perhaps over the next 9 weeks of LR2 things will change in your favor and you can make another run at it!

Good luck!

That's too bad I was looking for an evil settlement to join i guess i'll need to keep looking

Goblin Squad Member

Golgotha is always looking for more people, hint hint.

Goblin Squad Member

So just on a whim I'm going to throw my hat back in the ring, I'm a little sad that a Neutral Evil settlement has not appeared at this point.

If I get 12 or more people PM that are interested in my original settlement idea I'll revive it.

Goblin Squad Member

good luck. It would be nice to have another evil group around.

Goblin Squad Member

Thanks, if it fails now I still plan to pursue it later, but it would much more convenient now.

Goblin Squad Member

Alright, I got a few people technically more than I had the first time, but not enough to break into the rankings. Come on evil I know you're out there!

Goblin Squad Member

They are, and they live in Golgotha. Our doors are open.

Goblin Squad Member

Golgotha, and the empire as a whole, is a good Evil group, but it will kind of suck if they wind up as the only viable evil group. Resist the temptation!

Goblin Squad Member

I currently do not wish to participate in their particular brand of evil (no offense), while I wouldn't be averse to working with or for them occasionally, I do not wish to be part of their empire of evil at the moment.

I would much rather see a few evil factions with different objectives pop up, much like the other 32 settlements on the Land Rush board.

If there were no options more inline with my preference in the long run...well compromises can be made when the time comes. But for now, I shall stand on my principles.


I wish y'all the best of luck, and kudos for staying independent. We love Golgotha, but if the only Bads we get are Big Bads, I'm gonna be pretty disappointed.

Speaking as an individual, I'm already spoken for, but I'll be happy to stop by every now and then wherever you end up and drink all your beer offer moral support.

Also Freevale welcomes all— *KSSSSHT*
