Once long ago a crazy Erudite necro named Raljah was talking with the most insane one known by most as
Fezz the Erudite wizard who had a truly disturbing family background. Now both had their flaws, but they
shared one thing in common, their true hatred of Erudin. Raljah hated the Erudites in their tower
because they forced him and his kin to live in the forest in a little hut, and he truly despised trying
to find his way there after it became dark. Fezz hated the Erudites because even though he was on their
side, they looked at him oddly. Together they both formed the idea to gather an army and march on
Erudin. They estimated it would take about 150 people to completely hold the tower for many days, thus
calling down the wrath of the gods so that they could battle them as well and ascend into godhood to
forever torture the Erudites they so hated. Their plan was true insanity and they knew they couldn't go
around telling people that they were going to be an army, no, no, they needed a name. Raljah sought out
a friend named Celdarn who came up with a list of possible names for the army from both Latin and
Japanese sources. Now armed with a name, Raljah went to his apprentice, a young Erudite necro named Torv
and proposed the idea of burning Erudin to the ground. Torv immediately agreed with his mentor and began
to spread the word among his friends.. word traveled quickly, "Destruction of Erudin? Insanity!" was the
response they usually got, however some were intrigued.. nothing like that had ever been attempted since
the war that created the Hole. What if they were part of that? To forever be part of the history of
Norrath? Of course.. there were also the promises sent out to the ogre and troll lands of "Lots of tasty
Erudites to eat if you help us." Through some twist of fate, Torv took on another form, that of a female
wood elf druid and began to call himself Gypsum. Raljah still saw the opportunity to start on the way to
his dream and didn't care what form of his apprentice would help him. The plans went on.. weeks passed
as the people were pooled together.. however the fateful day of the meeting of the soon to be heads of
the army was a disaster. Few showed up to the meeting that had been recruiting and recruiting had to be
done on the spot by Fezz and Pness (Now known as Parkilor). They pulled it off and Nox Secuutus was
created. Gypsum quickly approved two people to hand out the membership cards as he had to disappear for
quite some time, leaving promises of leadership to his former mentor Raljah upon his return...

It was a hard time, but they were assembled and they continued to grow as the word of assaulting the
tower of Erudin fascinated many who heard it. Soon Raljah met a certain cleric who swore that he would
stand on a mountaintop and preach the word of Mithaniel in every language known on Norrath. Raljah
tracked down this cleric, seeking to fully convert him to the belief that Erudin had destroyed.
Together, Raljah and Aamadar (hereby referred to and always will be referred to as Preacher) sat at an
undead hangout in the East Commonlands and helped those who sought to kill the undead fiends. Preacher
had a particular hatred for ghouls and instantly slaughtered them as soon as they showed their ugly
faces.. in between learning languages from Raljah and talking about how the Erudites were truly evil and
had to be destroyed.

Things were going well for quite some time, then Gypsum returned and Raljah sought to gain the
leadership promised to him.. and was denied.. for months. Finally, sick of the lies Gypsum had spun for
him, Raljah decided to voice his concerns to the army he had gathered. For speaking his thoughts he was
hunted down to the farthest reaches of the world.. Gypsum finally discovered him in Steamfont.. drinking
ale with Meldrath as Fezz ranted and raved outside the minotaur caves. Gypsum stripped Raljah of his
officership on the spot and plans for revenge formed in Raljah's mind. Waiting a proper amount of time,
Raljah launched a full scale attack upon Gypsum out in the open for the whole guild to see. Gypsum
sought to keep the fight private, but Raljah responded to everything in the open for everyone to know
about. People asking what was going on all around him, Raljah continued to fight and talk about how he
was demoted for speaking his mind and that if anyone else spoke their mind they would be kicked out just
like he was about too. The air was filled with tension and pure hatred as mentor and apprentice threw
everything they had at each other... when the smoke finally cleared, many were left dazed and confused,
wondering what had just happened. Gypsum had disappeared and Raljah explained to all what the explosive
fight had been all about before retiring to rest from the battle.

Soon afterwards Gypsum stepped down and handed the leadership of the guild to Maxizeus, who had done
great things for the guild.. and because Gypsum would have died before giving Raljah leadership.... and
Raljah really wouldn't have minded Gypsum dying at that point... but it wasn't worth the trouble he'd
have to go through. Raljah sat back and didn't stir any trouble over the change of the leadership, for
after that fateful battle between Raljah and Gypsum, the army that was raised started to change. No
longer was it an army disguised by the pleasant word "guild," no, it was more, it was becoming a family.
The goal of destroying Erudin began to fade from the memory of those in Nox, and Raljah did nothing to
stop it, for Nox had become stronger than he had ever hoped. Sure, they wouldn't be able to achieve his
personal goal of destroying Erudin, but they would battle the new evil of uber guilds through loyalty
and friendship.

I'll end story mode now.. Nox has always been about friendship, as soon as my childish goal of
destroying Erudin faded. Of course, I'd still love to go burn Erudin to the ground and have GMs come out
in the form of gods and fight us (probably slaughter us..) but it's not required. We had lots of good
times and we had our bad times, but our main thing that made Nox.... well, Nox, was the fact that we
were all good friends. We dealt out a good deal of insults and we all took an equal amount of insults
right back for whatever we threw. I won't go into some of my later clashes with people, for those have
no basis on what Nox is. I have always believed that we should speak what's on our mind, even if it's
not very pleasant. One event comes to mind, with Max taking a bunch of us out to Rathe to hunt HGs while
he was watching HBO... lol, lots of comments that probably weren't necessary or appropriate.. but he
said em anyway!  Nox is all about friendship, it's not just a guild tag that takes up room over your
character's head next to your name. At least, that's how I feel, I know there are others who reflect
that feeling, if not have that same feeling.
