Vain Moral

The Vain Moral is a secret society that once held the entire world of Sother at its mercy. In its early years, its members numbered less then one dozen, but was said to be made up of local kings, merchant-lords and powerful political figures from all over Sother's north lands.

The group was created to sapport peace, equality and justice. The members vowed an oath of blood

"For the Moral of Vain, we are the Vain Moral."

This group was orginized by rich wine dealers and traders of fabrics and spices. The orginization was also rumored to be housed in a secret mannor located within the Noble lands of "Vain" (Southern Sother). The original members never made much of events, insted turning a "good idea" into a country club for the bloodest of bloods. The society began aquiring many members, who in mock ritual and glamerous garb, swore to up hold the "Sacred Sins of Society" as the common law. The Sacred sins represented all the desires of man's flesh, mind and soul. The finer things, luxery, sex and gluttony. The welathy members of the VM spent thier meeting time drunk on wines and whores.

By the time of the war (200 years later), where Jamoon was proven to be a servant of evil, the Vain Moral found new life. the members, still wealthy and powerful, had for warning of Jamoon's deceat and had been prepearing to strike at the heart of his empire. They plotted to kill jamoon and his dukes of death in one foul swoop.

War broke out as the evil Empire's leader was found dead- throat slit, along with his children (17 of them, all dead...rumor says perhaps two escaped). The war caused major chaos and turned the lands into a feild of fire and death. Vain attacked CrackenSeed, entering battle with its armies in control of generals who belonged to the VM. Brooksheild struck the farm lands of Edenna, cuasing food shortage to much of Jamoon's armies in the south. Vashmere sat back ploting for the perfect angle- sapporting Rohaven's attacks from the west- but never truly entering battle. Darghoolah sided with vashmere in not entering battle "until the end- sending soilders to takeover the east of Sother.

After the 25yr war- most lands lay waste. Vashmere, Brooksheild and Dargoolah were the only winners, while most familys were erased forever from history- these three familys made a fortune off the war.

Since the war's end, the vain Moral was offically dispanded and for the past 50 years any bearing the mark of the vain Moral (a silver face mask, and or a ring/necklace bearing the symbol of the silver mask) have been publically hung in the kingdoms of all Sother. Reports of members actually exsisting have become less and less...and for the past ten 25 years no member has been proven to exsist. Those who were found since before the war -have all turned out to be criminals and straglers using the name as a sort of Cult or gang. All criminals involved with the VM were hung publically- usually for stirring up trouble, murder or thieft. Most were poor and uneducated thugs.

A member of the VM can be noticed by the symbol of the silver mask, or by jewlery of silver containing pictures or symbols of masks. They have gone from. the first members were noted as wealthy rulers, merchant-lords and politcal figures. Since those days- the group has obtained imfamous slurr as being a cult of personality bent on criminal operations.

Some rumors say that those who claime to be VM never truly were, and if they actually WERE they assumed the persona of criminals and madmen to hide the truth; The vain Moral marches still, plots still, watches every empire and awaits the call to action.

The oldest cree of The Vain Moral: I am Noble and never wrong. My friends are just and deserve honor. My enemies know not Honor and demand i slay them. I shall hunt,stalk,stab,poison,kill anyone who dares remove the given rights of man from any man I am kin to. I operate in secrecy and demand my brothers/sisters do the same. I vow to never sell one of us to the evil society we hate so well. I am a weapon in all ways and in all ways I shall inflict justice at all costs. No King rules above our law, for our law is absolute Hail Vain Moral!"
