\"cod-town-banner\"<\/a>The Children of Darkness is an old school guild that was created back during beta on January 1997.\u00a0 We originally started on the first day of release\u00a0for Ultima Online on the Atlantic shard, then called Eastern, but it quickly got very crowded.\u00a0 We ended up moving to the Catskills shard\u00a0on October 17th, 1997. The Guildmasters are Pandora, yours truly,\u00a0and Marius that role played as ancient vampires migrated here from Earth and travel between both worlds. Anyone that’s read any of the stories written by Anne Rice, author of the famed Vampire Chronicles which Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise pushed into fame with their movie, “Interview with the Vampire” \u00a9 1994 would recognize a lot of the names for the characters that are part of CoD.<\/p>\n

If you would like to join our guild,\u00a0 you must obviously be up to the challenge of RP’ing a vampire, a werewolf, a half-breed, a witch, or a trusted human ally\u00a0with your characters.\u00a0 CoD is a lawful good aligned guild that values human life and strive for wealth and power, so we’re very sophisticated and very proper and very beautiful.\u00a0\u00a0 Our interaction with humans is of respect and diplomacy. We, as a guild, feed only on monsters and\u00a0 willing human donors.\u00a0 As with all themed guilds,\u00a0 you are allowed OOC play only in certain situations. In our case we are more liberal about this than other themed guilds, as we allow OOC predominantly with other players except when we are engaged in story line play.<\/p>\n

CoD leaders often write a lot of the theme events.\u00a0 All CoD members are required to attend in full character to participate when their real life allows them to.\u00a0 CoD members are also encouraged to write theme events for themselves and submit them for Game Master and Seer review.<\/p>\n

CoD uses Ventrilo voice communication server<\/a> to communicate with other guild members.\u00a0 We also use our guild forums<\/a>\u00a0to communicate offline with our members.\u00a0 Members are required to register on this site and on the forums and request access to private sections of the forums so they can keep informed on events and guild meets that happen often in our guild.<\/p>\n
