Just like The Redeemers of Dawn Thread I'm trying to come up with another special-group for The Triangle of Three. This one involves Selune.
Basically it's a group of men and women, ranging from lythancropes to whatever. It's a group of men and women that was born under the Full Moon and are offered the chance to be in this group known as Selune's Tear. I think for the most part, they're Warrior/Cleric and the guard certain things, what I don't know for sure (something I'd like help with)
Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions and ideas for this? Cause I'm kinda stumped when it comes to Selune's Tears unlike The Redeemers of Dawn.
Or do you think maybe I should just find a group that is already Selune involved and go from there?
Oh, one more thing (Edit): How would I set about writing down (officaly) a Order, such as maybe making one for Selune if NMP doesn't fit, or The Redeemers of Dawn? I'd like to do it down on the computer ASAP.

There's the New Moon Pact, which featured in the novel Mistress of the Night.
The NMP (before the chaos of the Heresy -- also detailed in the novel) was an ancient order of priests and warriors who acted in Selune's service throughout much of the north and west of the Realms. They were never large, but they were an old group. They gained signiicant power and wealth through the years, while basically answering to no temple or clerical hierarchy. It is said the the NMP handled the "dark deeds" for the church... deeds that were never spoken of in the open. They were defenders and avengers working against the interests of larger temples. They embraced werewolves and lycanthropes of all knds. Because of this, the rest of the church feared the order.

The Lambent Sword
The Argent Wolves (insert any name)
The key to making a name sound unique is not to take something directly from a portfolio, but to take an iteration for that very thing.

Well, I would go with Sword, but I see them more using Selune's weapon Mace. It is a mace isn't it? Either way, I just see them having a Mace instead of a Sword.
They'd still be considered a Warrior if they had Mace over sword right? |

Selūne's chosen weapon is the mace. And warriors can use any weapon. A warrior could use a frying pan, if he wanted. |

Has flashbacks of Tika using a frying pan but we can't discuss that because that's in that otherworld and Alaundo doesn't like those people. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Keeping it in the Realms... Dwarves often use warhammers or axes, yet they are still called warriors. Elliot Graves carried a mace, though we never saw him use it. And Gorstag's preferred weapon was an axe, as I recall. Those two were warriors. |

Well, would using a frying pan be under the Exotic Weapon Proficiency - I mean, you could end up with Weapon Specialization in it.  -- Which I think that curly haired woman in the other world had!

Hahaha. A Fryin Pan in the Realms would be a comical-relife if you will..and fun to see in use.
How would I go about writing and organizing these two orders though you guys? |

Just follow the basic structure for organisations offered in either Lords of Darkness, Champions of Ruin, or the now released Champions of Valor.

Complete Adventurer might also be some help, as it offers up a system dealing with some of the specfic statistics of the organization and their presence in specific communities. |
