PCs may create their own organizations. Once created, these organizations are posted publicly and anyone may join. Organizations must fit Tenebrae's theme, policies, and style, and must be approved by staff before posting. Part of this is that every organization is run by an NPC. Generally, we prefer you use existing organizations when possible as these groups have both established places within theme, and are broad enough to include a number of characters and their stories. But, sometimes, there's a story that just really, really needs told...

What Role do Organizations Play in Tenebrae?

Here you will find information on some of the more well-known local organizations in the gameworld. Organizations on this page may be of any size. However, Tenebrae isn't an organizations-focused game, though they do exist for roleplay purposes, and may show up in a DM'd plot. They're meant to provide background, plot devices, and roleplay flavor. NPCs too, are well-established leaders of factions: we've seen the drama created in other games with PC led factions, and that is a part of our decision to avoid it.

So long as you are considered active within an organization, you may spend RP Points within it to gain unique abilities and powers.

Organizations may be listed in more than one category.
