Seekers of the Abyss
The Seekers of the Abyss
Also Known As
- The Seekers
History
Formed in late December of 2001, the Seekers forged themselves out of the great newbie explosion of Mordengaard. The thought process behind the forming of the Seekers was that via sheer numbers they could take down any single target on any battle field.
As is shown by the previous statement, the thought process behind the Seekers was entirely misunderstood and greatly assumed by others to be as such. The creation of the Seekers came from a very tightly knit group from the local high school that all joined amtgard at once and had been gaming on other mediums for a long period of time together. Outside of this group they were in fact very picky about whom they allowed entrance in order to avoid being known with the above sentiment. As a side note, not all that wore the blue/black were Seekers, many took the colors, but never joined the ranks. At any time there were never more than 8 or 9
Slowly over time the Seekers evolved the dagger rush into their main battle plan. The primary tactic the Seekers used was to allow their opponents and even their friends, to underestimate them. To that extent they never took themselves seriously and became well known for their "Dagger Rush". The formal declaration of this occurred at an "invasion" of Drakenfjord in late 2003.
Dagger combat would become a mainstay of the Seekers fights, effectively producing a moderately effective jugging team.
In January of 2005 the Seekers effectively surrendered into becoming a household. In actuality the Seekers chose their highest ranked and formed a household within itself comprised of only a few members. They named themselves "House Duskryn". The Seekers disappeared almost completely after 2003 due to some graduating and most of the others becoming involved in other activities. The fighter company was also torn apart from the inside due to disagreements and perceived betrayals, all but ending the existence of the company.
The actual founders of the Seekers of the Abyss were: Romnar Sylswift, Lucien Kheldarn, Harold(Formerly Baarf 'eadsmasha), Fellwin
Second Generation Seekers: Aryx, Daja, Kael Silverbolt, Kessalin, Kotc Gen, Oscar diChiclidi, Twig 'eadsmasha, Zig
Third Generation Seekers: Ian Dracul Kallon (Also known as Patch), Pickles
Despite being known for its "strength in numbers" at no time did the Seekers ever allow anyone entrance that had not been a long time associate except through a strict interview/acceptance process. Individuals that entered under this were Ian Dracul Kallon, Aryx. All of the others had known the founders and each other for many years prior to their entrance in amtgard.
