Planar Guild
From NexusClash Wiki
General Information
Planar Guilds are loose associations that any character who has selected a Tier 2 class can pledge themselves to. By dedicating themselves (at a planar shrine, at a cost of 10AP and 20MP), they will gain access to that Guild's bonuses and receive the equivalent of Planar Protection when on the Guild's home plane. The Planar Shrines are invisible to characters who have not yet selected a Tier 2 class (and so in particular to all characters of levels 9 and lower). Planar Shrines are located only on the Outer Planes (i.e., not Valhalla, and not pocket spaces), so Planar Guilds were only available once those planes opened.
Unlike Factions, Guildmembers can attack and kill fellow guildmembers and gain XP.
Upon joining a Planar Guild a character gains the bonuses associated with that guild, effective immediately.
By default, a factioned character has "Third Class" Standing in his Planar Guild when he joins it. A faction's infusions may increase a factioned character's Standing to "Second Class" while the faction's stronghold stands. Factionless characters or characters in the Heavenly Host or Infernal Horde are considered to have "First Class" Standing with their guild, having declined to split their loyalties between a guild and a faction.
A character can only be a member of one Planar Guild at a time. They can, however, dedicate themself to a different Guild at the usual cost, ending their relationship with their previous Guild.
List of Planar Guilds
Accord of the Sun-touched (15,18 Elysium)
A great stone sword has been sunken into an equally large stone anvil in the center stage of the amphitheatre.
- Members gain access to "Sun-touched Strike" charged attack. This costs 8 MP and converts the damage to holy damage. On a killing blow, the MP cost is refunded (i.e., the charged attack is free).
- Second Class Standing reduces the cost of Sun-touched Strike to 4 MP.
- First Class Standing reduces the cost of Sun-touched Strike to 2 MP.
- This guild is only available to Angels.
Adamant Kinship (7,33 Valhalla)
In the midst of a dense copse stands a rough, weather-beaten statue. The inscription at the base reads: Petra, once and always!
- Members of the Adamant Kinship are not permitted to be in factions (and thus are always considered to have First Class Standing). If they are in a faction, they will be kicked from it. They are also unable to create a faction whilst in the Adamant Kinship.
- Members gain +3 Soak and +2 damage while on the plane of Petra (Valhalla). In addition, they always spawn in Petra.
Darksoul Cabal (7,14 Gehenna)
An enormous ice floe floats atop the lake. A pitted iron column, perhaps fifteen feet high, seems to have been thrust into the center of the floe. Tongues of deep blue flame lick the surface of the column.
- Members receive a 5% reduction in MP costs for spells, skills, and the like. In addition, if the character would be afflicted by any "undesirable" status effect (e.g., Defiler Poison), there is a 5% chance that the debuff is ignored (i.e., not applied). The MP reduction is not, and will not be, applied to charged attacks nor AoE attacks.
- Second Class Standing grants 10% instead of 5% to the above.
- First Class Standing grants 15% instead of 5% to the above.
Fist of Sanguinity (19,17 Gehenna)
A huge boulder, scarred with veins of near-molten iron, dominates this area and puts forth enough heat to cause the air to waver. Occasional rivulets of hot blood seem to be sweated out of the boulder and drip, hissing, onto the ground below.
- Members gain access to the "Sanguine Strike" charged attack. This costs 8 MP and converts the damage to a random damage type. On a killing blow, the MP cost is refunded (i.e., the charged attack is free).
- Second Class Standing reduces the cost of Sanguine Strike to 4 MP.
- First Class Standing reduces the cost of Sanguine Strike to 2 MP.
- This guild is only available to Demons.

Order of Key-la (33,5 Gehenna)
A vast, oily slick of undulating black slime coats the ground here. It seems to pulse up from the ground before draining back into the ground, then pulsing up again.

Sires of Retribution (Pocket Space inside 38,28 Valhalla)
A large lava flow that looks for all the world to be the statue of some hideously deformed creature sits in the center of this room like a mass of twisted flesh, eyes, mouths, and tentacles. Even though it is stone cold to the touch, it occasionally seems to writhe slightly.
- When the character is killed, a special pet spawns in the character's location. This pet is set to "aggressive" and the character is considered to be the pet's master for purposes of XP gain. The pet despawns when the character respawns.
