OFFICIAL CONQUEST/GREENSIDE GUIDE [Peace, by Any Means Necessary]

[font=times new roman][size=24pt]CONQUEST/GREENSIDE

WHO ARE WE, AND WHAT IS OUR GOAL?
Conquest/Greenside is a group that seeks to bring about an era of peace by uniting all the clans in the nation under one, by any means necessary. They believe in seeing justice served, taking the initiative, in protecting the innocent, and perhaps most of importantly of all their motto, 'by any means necessary'. More than anything this is a group who understands that peace cannot be truly gained without sacrifice and extreme measures, and they do whatever is needed to protect the innocent and destroy the wicked. Their territory is known as Greenside, and here a community of peaceful creatures is known to live within the walls of a beautifully restored private school. They are a happy people from all walks of life- cooks, gardeners, farmers, blacksmiths, families, etc- and they are protected by a fierce and unwavering militia that keeps them safe at all costs. This militia, Conquest, are responsible for the assimilation of the others groups and the destruction/containment of the evil that walks this earth. They are the soldiers who sacrifice so that the ones they protect don't have to, and while these members are usually neither cruel nor war mongerers, they understand that there is a price to pay for true peace, and that sometimes bad things must be done in order to achieve their goal. Conquests main goal is to assimilate all the good people into their ranks, and to imprison or execute those that wish to commit evil. Therefore people are often forced to join the community of Greenside, or face the threat of being imprisoned for desire to incite mutiny.

"We will bring peace, by any means necessary."

THE TERRITORY & MAIN HEADQUARTERS
general territory info
Conquests main territory is known as Greenside, and it's a beautiful place. Rolling hills of lush green grass, speckled with occasional trees along their grassy slopes, stretch out in all directions for as far as the eye can see. All around you is open space and above you the sky stretches out in a dizzying expanse, uninterupted by tree canopies or mountains or human buildings. In fact, the human influence in these parts is very limited, only two structures existing.

LAWS AND TRADITIONS
Conquest, while being a group that is generally open to all types of peoples, is very serious about the laws it upholds. Those who break them go to trial before the HP's for sentencing.

- protect your own before anything else. regardless of personal issues you may have with someone in the group, your expected to have each others backs in times of trouble

- senseless violence or unnecessary force will be punished. while this is a group that actively forces others into their ranks and executes evil people, they do not do this lightly nor do they take satisfaction in having to destroy the homes of others or uproot innocent families. it's done because it's necessary to bring about their goal and that's it.

- contribution is essential. while all are welcome here, all must be willing to pitch in as well. while we are a militia-themed group with goals to rule all, there are many places in our community for those who don't wish to fight. Healers, cooks, event planners, den mothers, farmers/hunters, groundskeepers and many other jobs are available to members.

- mercy is to be shown to anyone who surrenders to you. during the event that you capture someone they are either to be made into a member of Greenside (should they be a good person that's willing to obey the rules) or imprisoned in the Overhang if they are evil and seek to do harm to innocents of Greenside.

- on the occasion that you capture someone with a good heart whose just too stubborn to assimilate, they are to be brought before the HPs for trial. Often these rebellious members are not harmed or tortured, and are instead sent to The Farm to be made part of the workforce as 'partial prisoners' until they are ready to properly join Greenside as a willing member of society.

- since conquest accepts and employs all sorts of animals who believe in and pursue different things, it's understandable that certain people may not clique. members aren't expected to get along all the time, but you are expected to maintain a certain level of civility and maturity with each other when in public.

- while Conquest doesn't do alliances, they are known at times to 'sell' times of ceasefire to their enemies. should a ceasefire with a group be called, no antagonizing of them is permitted.

RANKING SYSTEM
Conquest is unique in that it offers a dual ranking system. While it is true that the group is mainly military themed, those that do not wish to pursue the military route are still able to climb the ranks, holding equivalent powers to those in the military without having to join it. These ranking systems are known as the Military Ranks, and the Community Ranks.
