Division Overview

Nine Swords Division Overview

Nine Swords is split into nine divisions. These divisions help to plan events, support the cabal and help to maintain an active community.

Nine Swords - Leadership

The Leadership Division
The leadership division for Nine Swords encompasses our Commander, as well as all top ranking leaders from each of our divisions. While it can be considered as the command staff, it is formally a division on the same level as the other eight. As such, unless there is a strong reason not to do otherwise, both strategy decisions as well as regular operational issues are usually handled by the other specialized divisions.

The responsibilities for the Leadership Division are:

• Final internal point of escalation for disputes, grievances or similar.
• Ensuring that all divisions work together well and in a coordinated manner, especially in areas where responsibilities overlap.
• Inspire and Lead the cabal on a day to day basis

Nine Swords - PVE

The Zweihänder Division
Welcome to the Zweihänder Division. We do one thing here and one thing only. We kill things. Living things. We kill them, take their desecrated remains, plunder them, and move on to the next living thing. Then we kill it. We do not ask ourselves, "Does this Vampire have a family to feed? Maybe he is just misunderstood." Or do we?

The main tasks for the Zweihänder Division are:

• To organize and participate in boss runs, raids, campaign events and special events
• Mastering monster tactics

Nine Swords - Events

The Events Division

Nine Swords - PVP

The Misericorde Division
Welcome to the Misericorde Division, the main tasks for this division are:

• Sharpening the skills of the cabal through PVP events such as tournaments, and fight nights.
