"Eyes of Silas"


"Secrets abound to those who pay homage to Silas"

[Page Under Construction]​

OOC Info: A patron of Silas is creating an information network for the purpose of well....spreading information. The gist is that is an informant will purchase Your information. This may be anything from a secret alcoholic recipe to the location of a reclusive mage.

Once information begins trickling in, some "secrets" can be purchased through an NPC villager shop. Requests for certain info may be inquired upon and will be purchasable should the informant have the information or be able to procure it.

Becoming an informant is possible. Should you wish to be an informant/spy in your city all you need to do is prove your worth by obtaining region specific info. Proven Informants will be paid monthly and receive a small bonus should any of there info be purchased from another. Also all informants should be followers of Silas. Information on how to apply is forthcoming.

This organization is nonprofit and any surplus of monies will be put into a Silas slush fund, to be used in Silas events, temples ect. Also, not all information donated need to be about others. Should one wish to do so, one can submit secrets about one self to Silas, were he will faithfully keep them for himself. Ultimately all donations are an act of worship to Silas.

Submitting Info:
As I can't be on all the time I have put a NPC shopkeeper in the Black Market in Storms Landing. To the right of him is a hopper. All you have to do is write a message using your own book, or you can buy one from the chest shop in front of the shop. The message should contain your IC info you are giving or trading to the informant. On the last page put your IGN, character name and location to be found if you wish to be paid, along with what you wish to be paid for the information. Something like....

IGN: Heie
Character Name: Kethron
Location to be found: Arget
Asking amount: 500r

Should the price be agreeable the amount will be paid, otherwise I will send an inbox convo to RP haggle over the amount. Should an agreeable price not be made the information will be treated as not traded and then be destroyed.

The NPC Informant:
After information is purchased it can then be traded back to players through the shopkeeper plugin. If a player wants, they can also schedule a meetup with me and i'll RP it out. The shopkeeper is simply there so people can still get some info when i'm not on or available.

Submitting Recipe's:
For a recipe to be valid, you must write an IC explanation of the process at the front of the book followed by the OOC Minecraft recipe if applicable.

How is this not a visage thing?
Contrary to popular belief, it is Silas who is the god of Secrets. This organization has none of the subterfuge, schemes and deceit that visage would bring. This is straight up spreading of information.

Pretty much folows Silas's 2nd and 5th doctrine.

2. You shall endeavor to promote and spread Knowledge and Information
5. You shall be rightfully generous in the giving of information.

Also while i like the name "Eyes of Silas" it has no relation to a previous group of the same name.

While Visage stands as God of Secrecy. There is certainly some overlap. I can see this mainly being about how the knowledge in question is applied.

However having given Silas' doctrine a little read-through, the whole 'Secrets' thing seems very against what he desires - open spreading of knowledge.

All three of 2, 3 and 5 are about openness of knowledge;

2. You shall endeavor to promote and spread Knowledge, Information- Harm not records nor history.

3. You shall do not to lie nor covet, for such things may twist the pure truth of Knowledge.


5. You shall be rightfully generous in the giving of information.

I do however love this concept.

Amazing! I've known you for a while and haven't seen you RP anything else than knowledge/silas characters. You got this!
could you put a screen shot of a book example ? I'm not entirely sure how this works yet and what exactly goes into the book. An example would be neat.

not sure what you mean by book example but......Information can be dropped by in the form of a letter or a conversation written down in a Minecraft book. Its all really depends on the type of information you are trying to sell to the informant. Ie. a rumor might be given as

Title of Book: Gryphons Spotted

"Have you heard that there were sightings of a Gryphon nest near.......[location]"

IGN: Terry_Brooks
Character Name: Ranger Joe
Location to be found: Cabin near [location]
Asking amount: 200r

Or as someone else did, he dropped off a letter . Information gleaned from that is now available to obtain from the NPC informant shopkeeper. There is also always the option of setting up a meeting via a convo to RP it out.
