Overview

Lodge of Sorceresses is a casual, softcore guild, which tries to focus on every aspect of the Rift MMORPG, namely PvE/RP/PvP sides of the game. Our main goal is to create a friendly and most of all, collaborative environment for any kind of players, who would enjoy their Rift experience and explore everything Rift has to offer. Our RP is based on The Witcher RPG-game-lore, created by Andrzej Sapkowski, adapted to Rift's lore. Currently we are organizing sophisticated PvE events (dungeons, raids and other kind of instances) as well, which run in multiple phases, focusing on efficiency of our raid groups.

Origin

Lodge of Sorceresses was named after the secret society in The Witcher game series and Andrzej Sapkowski novels. In The Witcher, it's a secret organization comprised entirely of female mages; however, in Rift MMO, through our guild, it was adapted as a secret society whose aim is to serve the realm and its people, by helping to shape the politics in Telara. The interests of rulers are of no consequence to the Lodge and its members.

History

Lodge of Sorceresses was established at late September, 2011, by female mage Gelmir, at Argent/EU shard. Originally we were enlisting only female spell-casters (clerics and mages alike), however due to the nature of MMO gaming, we had to expand our recruitment policy towards other classes (warriors and rogues).

Lodge Today: Recruitment & Ranking System

Currently, we are recruiting female spell-casters (clerics and mages) and physical-units (warriors and rogues) of any gender.

Lodge's ranking system is created so that it'd suit both our RP and PvE needs; and help to administer the guild efficiently. Internally, Lodge is ruled by its Council, comprised of Generals and Elder Sorceresses, which is elected by all of its members, from its ranked members. For external affairs, Lodge is represented by its High Mistress. who is elected from within Council members, by the Council members. Our Centurions are functioning as executive officers throughout the guild, fulfilling various tasks necessary for guild's welfare.
