SUMMONERS
By Shawn Arbuckle (sa3x@mailcity.com)
History
The Summoners are an offshoot of the Verbena. They were founded by a man named San-Drax. San-Drax was a fast learner and he quickly mastered several spheres; Life and Spirit were the ones that interested him most. San-Drax became obsessed with the idea of summoning creatures to serve him, in various roles. When San-Drax had finally learned all he could from the Verbena he moved to form his own Tradition which he named the Summoners.
Philosophy
All creatures are at our beck and call. We summon any thing we choose too serve us as we see fit.
Style
This tradition has very shallow roots thus far. As time passes they will form their own beliefs and their roots shall reach deep into the earth. At the moment members of this tradition tend to dress in whatever style they choose. Some may appear as a Goths, others as Punks and some may even appear too be business professionals.
Spheres
Common Foci
Sex, blood, runes and bones
Organization
The Summoners tend to be solitary, preferring to practice their art wherever they feel most comfortable. The Summoners do maintain one large coven located somewhere in Scotland, and at least one small coven in each major city. These covens provide the Summoners with a place to meet and discuss matters that concern them the most. These covens also over a place for the Summoners too recruit new members.
Initiation
Before anyone is allowed to join the Summoners he must complete three quests and then Summon one creature. The quests are deadly to the careless and foolhardy, and are meant too weed out those too weak to be a Summoner, leaving only the strongest. The summoning at the end is to merely to ensure that the potential Summoner has the ability too summon creatures. So far, everyone one who has passed the quests, have been able too summon a creature.After the initiation is complete the Summoner in training is sent to a coven to be trained in the art of summing. Training takes up too four years to complete.
