Emancipators of Men

The EoM is a house devoted to Responsible Freedom in the dream. They fight through any means necessary to achieve freedom for all. They have out lasted their old enemies which included the Sect of the Prudent (The Sect) and The Cult of Bashir (CoB) and have often allied with the Emergence Academy (EA). They are currently led by their two Generals Niral Shambari and Krodoc. The house structure is divided into three branches: Warrior, Knowledge, and Diplomats.

House Charter

The Emancipated strive to provide those that act responsibly the right, and ability, to act and speak freely. We will always strive to protect those who cannot defend themselves, to stand up as the cities defenders, and to stand between the weak and the wicked. The Emancipated are to be pillars of the community; revered for their honor, honesty, compassion and integrity.

Members are expected to abide by the decisions of the leadership and to treat one another with respect at all times, even when our ideas are not necessarily united. Members are also expected to defend the House, its Members, and its cause as needed, be it physically or ideologically.

Should the leadership suspect a member of treason, the leadership reserves the right to demote first and discuss the matter at length with the accused after the fact. Should the leadership find they are wrong in their accusations, the accused will be re-initiated without additional requirements.

The Commander, or Ruler, of the House is to set an example for the rest of the House. The Commander is above no duty, and is expected to assist in every need of the House. He/she will be recognized, and respected, as the one that has been selected to guide and make decisions about where the house should be headed, and what needs to be done.

Generals, or Guardians, are expected to serve as the Commanders right hand, and should be a pinnacle of honor and virtue. Generals are expected to take part in the decision making processes set forth by the Commander. They are also to act as a liason between the Trinity Knights and the Commander. General's are above no duty and are expected to assist in every need of the House.

Trinity Knights, or Initiates, are the backbone of the House and are expected to uphold the highest standards of honor and integrity at all times. It is their responsibility to present the leadership with ideas and theories that further progress the efforts of the Emancipated. It is also upon them to report any injustices they witness within the city, so that the House can act upon them as required.

Vacant positions within the House leadership will be voted upon by all. A majority vote is required for appointments to be made. Should a majority vote not be handed down, the leadership will make appointments as deemed necessary and appropriate. The leadership reserves the right to freely appoint titles to members for their individual efforts, duties and goals

House Artifact

Tablet of Freedom: A tablet of moderate size; heavy, but manageable; made of marble with the engraving "Freedom, and the Good of All." Its colors of sand, clay, and specks of blue are variegated throughout.

The artifact was originally found in several pieces. Zar'tenya found a few just before the Great Awakening and the remaining two pieces were found by groups of EoM supporters led by herself and Gharod on the Trinity Plains a few days after the Great Awakening. After an evening full of conflict with their rivals, the Sect of the Prudent, the pieces of the tablet were reunited on the EoM facade.

House Founding

After Idoaclese was murdered his ideals were left up to interpretation. Two dreamers in particular, Igteus and Gharod, came head to head as a result of their interpretations. Each accused the other of twisting Idoaclese's philosophies for personal gain. Many battles were fought between the two and their friends. Both groups worked hard to open one of the bastions located at the end of a plane so that they might gain a defensive upper hand. Igteus and his group opened the Sect of the Prudent at the end of the Lambent Flats first but much progress had already been made by Gharod and his friends in learning how to open the bastion at the top of the Trinity Planes.

Skirmishes over their competing interpretations continued to escalate up until the Great Awakening when three of Gharod's comrades and two of Igteus' comerades inexplicably disappeared during a great battle in which the master teachers were forced to intervene. The Masters said that if they didn't intervene to stop the battle it would have continued to encompass the whole city and threaten to destroy it. One day later Gharod and Zar'tenya had the chance to return to searching for the last two pieces of the artifact which they believed, once restored, would empower them to open the doors to the bastion and be a source of hope and strength for the Emancipators. The last two pieces were found on the Trinity Planes with help of some of the young pledges. Once the pieces were joined and the artifact emanated with power the doors to the bastion opened and Gharod had the ability to give crests to those who would pledge their allegiance.

Thus began a new chapter in the fight for freedom.

House Art

Shield of Freedom

Evoking this art on another dreamer protects them from any and all damage or negative effects (e.g. scare, deafen, poison). However, they are also unable to attack others in any way. This makes it a valuable art to evoke on both allies and enemies.
