Sick of the Factions? Want to expand your philosophical horizons outside of the Cage? Take a jaunt to the Great Ring and learn how cutters Out-Of-Town think... Let's talk about Sects... What are Sects? What's the difference between a sect and a faction? In Brief Fancy some Quickie Sects? Sectual Humour Just don't take it too seriously... Get the Sects mimir.netbook here! The Sects Explored Anarchs are masters of of Limbo's raw matter, But haven't yet mastered the Scramblespeak patter. Archonites worship, strange as it sounds, Lanterns and trumpets and wardens and hounds. Bleeders're martyrs, that's how they're restricted; Their injuries usually all self-inflicted. Carpet Knightsh are fond of wine, women and shong And *hic* partying all night *hic* parrrrtying all nigh' long! Chippers are hardened, with hatred to spare Just 'cause the multiverse didn't treat 'em fair. Communal cutters tried something too daring When they cried that the Lady ought to be sharing. Converts skip quickly from creed to creed, Guess that's 'cos they'll swallow any old screed. Eaters are worse than your usual thief, They ain't after jink, but they'll steal your belief! Expansionists tried to take on the Cage And deservedly suffered the Serene Lady's rage.

Guardians step in when there's wrongs that need righting, Battling evil, and going down fighting. Illuminated tried to provoke faction war From a secret base in darkest Plague-Mort. Incantifiers guzzle arcane forces - Rods, staves and wands are their three main courses. The Legislate run a tight old ship, You'll follow their laws or else they'll flip. Mathematicians live by the abacus And cosmological calculus. Merkhants strive for cold hard jink They've no real interest in how you think. Opposers will argue, and get in the way, And contradict loudly whatever you say. Planarists want Primes out the City of Doors "Send 'em all back" is their charter's main clause Planes-Militant live for sweetness and light - No wonder tanar'ri kill 'em on sight! Plane Tenders're friends to all who'd promise To help them stop planes slide into the Abyss. Primals are coy about what they believe, But it's likely they've got some weird tricks up their sleeve. Prolongers exist at others' expense, With Death at their backs, they're wise to be tense. Ragers are always the first rushing into the fray, Take my advice and stay out of their way! Revivalists seek to turn the clock back, Returning the planes to a glorious track. Ring-Givers' creed follows a karmic track, Give just a little, and more'll come back. Shadows are masters of intrigue and stealth, You can bet that their plans'll be bad for your health! Symmetrists managed to cause an outrage, By announcing they wanted to shut down the Cage! Vile Hunters will try, however they can, To destroy any beast that talks like a man. Wylders love nature, but of this fact take note: They cherish both lamb and the wolf at its throat Xaoticians look for order in chaos But it doesn't always herring gnirreh wobble wobble Chant: The Basics Extra: Going Further Dark: Digging Deeper Get the Sects mimir.netbook here!
