Mission: The sword of the sepulcher exists as a military force for those who practice necromancy without disturbing the dead or bargaining with evil entities. We will track down villains who use the dead to serve them, hunt for magical artifacts and defend ourselves from anyone who defies our cause.
The Sword of the Sepulcher sees necromancy as a means to an end. To our followers, spells that cause disease, peel skin from bone and drain life energy are simply weapons like any other, and for the most part, are not good or evil in and of themselves. However, we differentiate ourselves from other necromancers who see the deceased as a resource to be exploited and militarized.
As an organization, SOTS is not above stealing equipment or getting into trouble for the cause and is unconcerned if this is occasionally not considered “good.” Our methods will be as harsh and underhanded as possible, even if our goals are (usually) noble. As such, SOTS has a Chaotic Neutral alignment and welcomes all non-lawful members.
Military Philosophy: We believe in using masses of tough old fashioned infantry while magically crippling opponents with hideous debuffs. Siege equipment is also a very important ingredient in our army. Our military is the reason for our sky high tax rates: We believe that every man should be well armed, and that the cost of military equipment justifies high tax rates.
Religious Philosophy: We worship the gods Desna and Pharasma with equal devotion, revering their roles in magic and death respectively.
I’m not a necromancer. What do I do?: The Sword of the Sepulcher is a military and ideological machine. We have just as much use of non-spell casters as any group, so long our members share the same code of ethics. You can fight for our cause in any way, and we welcome any who are qualified to fight for us. So don’t worry that you’ll be “left out” or that this isn’t the group for you just because you’re not a necromancer.
Banned Classes:
Druid: As avid technology users, tree demolishers and seekers of necromantic spells, druids are unwelcome. Most druids would look down on us anyway.
Monk: There is an alignment conflict, and good riddance. We value sharpened steel over karate chops.
Paladin: Again, there is an alignment conflict. Plenty of paladins would probably want to see us dead anyway.
We at The Seventh Veil would like to open Diplomatic Relations with you.
On what grounds?!

On what grounds?!
On the grounds that we have extended diplomatic outreach to every company which has been announced. At least, I've tried to keep up - if I've missed anyone, please let me know.
It is a good thing to have formal channels of communication to other world powers, even if they are not strictly allies.
Due to recent collaborative efforts, SOTS has been scrapped for a more lucrative and secretive potential clan alliance. Please removed said clan from your list.
