Greetings fellow Thieves, necromancers, and dark clerics. I come to you with a proposition. A concept really of building a city where coin and power speak the loudest. The city would be ruled through a pact of mutual benefit for the three factions represented on an exclusive council.
The first faction would operate from the shadows. The thieves guild would ply their trades through the region and have a place to sell their acquisitions and collect on their contracts. Their thugs would provide the muscle of the city, and their book keepers would be master of coin.
The mages college would hold the second seat on the covenant. The city's college would be a place of higher learning where aspiring mages could seek true knowledge in the arcane regardless of how far into the grey or even black of standard morality their arts take them. They would provide a wealth of knowledge and training for the city, as well as major firepower against the cities enemies.
The final seat of power would belong to the collective leaders of the churches. Any deity likely to have you burned at the stake in most areas of the world will find a home here. Clerics of Asmodeus and other patrons which allow their followers to put their personal well being above their fellow man would have a safe haven to spread their gospel behind the settlements walls.
The combined might of the church, college and guild will be used to impose order on the city. None will be turned away from the city gates. Any and all business is welcomed as long as the guild receives its cut. The city eats its own, any disruption to the cities trade or profit results in a most excruciating death. We also protect our own. Knowing the lack of love for our kind outside of the settlements walls, our wayward sons can always expect the full support of the covenant should a job go bad.
The settlement will take coin from anyone willing to barter. A holy paladin's gold spends the same as an assassin's and none will be barred from bartering.
Cities that look to make war on us do to their lack of love for our lifestyles will find us to be enemies without mercy. The covenant will stop at nothing to achieve the utter destruction of those foolish enough to disrupt the cities trade.
OOC: Hey all I am looking for serious roleplayers interested in building a serious settlement. The settlement would be run in a council style method with Representative from the martial faction, the arcane faction, and the divine faction. The settlement would seek to build a strong Lawful Evil city focused on trade and coin. Anything goes, but if a players actions do anything to disrupt the overall balance of the city a pvp bounty will be permanently placed on their head and they will be barred for the city (aka the immature chaotic evil wizard who just runs amok trying to ruin everyone else's exp.)
We will have to be strong and organized to survive the onslaught of wannabe defenders of justice from the good settlements in PvP. We will also need to be productive to have a place where people wishing to focus on the darker side of the games mechanics will have a place to train and advance their character levels.
If there is a strong enough interest in this I will get a website going for the budding community. The goal here isn't to just start to build an evil guild, but a community of players looking to RP the darker side of things and have an impact on the world. No players willing to pay the coin needed to move about the city will be turned away regardless of alignment; however, PvP will be a strong focus as we seek to spread our dominance.

I wish you luck on this endeavor. Although my company and I are more chaotic, than good or evil, we will enjoy visiting your settlement.
The UnNamed Company is a mercenary - bandit charter, and we specialize on raiding the merchant caravans and resource harvesters in the River Kingdoms. We are also gatherers of information and peddlers of it as well. Black marketeering and smuggling are the only forms if commerce that we plan on partaking in. We can be contracted to perform many of these services, as well as others.
I look forward to conversing with you and your followers when the time comes.
Well met,
