Name: Chosen of Neferkara
Leader: Prince Setnakhte
Short History:

The Chosen of Neferkara were founded early in the history of the city-state of Aslani. They were primarily priests dealing with death gods, preparing the dead to cross into the afterlife, as well as early work with magic related to life and death. They however, were formed under the name The Mortuary Servants and this practice placed them in a place of great importance for the formative years of the City-state's time before it grew beyond its own borders. It is during the first expansion of Aslani that the Prince Neferkara was born and was destined to be the next Star-Reader he was forced by the current Star-Reader to join the Mortuary Servants as a means by which to prevent him from attaining the throne. A younger son became the next Star-Reader and it didn't take more than a decade before the Mortuary Servants led a revolt against the Star-Reader and placed Neferkara on the throne. Calling himself Priest-King Neferkara and creating the first instance where the Star-Reader was not the ruler of the Kingdom.

It didn't take long before the conquered city-states rebelled and one by one Neferkara and his armies, now being augmented by animated skeletons, a feat that has been difficult to teach to his followers. It is during this time that the Chosen were formed. Elite Priests who were taught the secrets of Necromancy that Neferkara had mastered. These priests were led by the heir apparent at all times so as to give the next Priest-King similar gifts to his father. However, by the time the last revolt was put down the Star-Reader cult had reformed a militia to face the legions of Neferkara. Both armies were vast and the battle was ferocious as the Star-Reader seemed to have called on some magic that the Chosen were not ready for.

Defeated, the Chosen fled Aslani northwards. Their Priest-King had vanished during the fighting and many presumed him to be dead. The next two generations were filled with being continual wanderers knowing that their lands to the south would never be theirs to see. Spending time in and among various people they traded their knowledge for shelter many times, always being expelled after a few years.

Starting Location: Undecided
Proposed Bonus / Role: Two Points towards Arcana Each Turn. Bonus to Stone Construction from Aslani Knowledge

Alright there is the organization application. G, let me know what needs to be fixed. Also, what sort of numbers do organizations get. I was thinking it was gonna be 100 or with some luck 200.

So, who wants some exiled Death Priests?

Hmm... I love the Mortuary Cult lore, but there are a few issues; the Aslani don't really have neighbors they could have conquered, so these conquered city-states are a bit rough. Also, we're just at the very start of the true Bronze Age; populations large enough to support an army of more than a few hundreds don't exist yet, and even then only for about a campaign season. So, perhaps tone down the scale of armed conflict in your history?

And there we go, le update. I made a few of the mechanics more obvious because the consensus seems to be for more transparency even at the cost of more maths.

I would take the whole spreadsheet, if I had the choice

[Holy Tedalonia]

I appreciate the more detail this time, thanks.

[Kelmet]

Welp, still no farming, thanks rng.

Welp, still no farming, thanks rng.

I actually made successes more likely this time!

Because on the fly tweaking is definitely not something I have to do with every one of my RPs.

Yes, i was aiming for that. Per the conquest, I didn't know how large the Aslani Kingdom was, so I presumed they dominated some nearby NPCs or something. I'll make adjustments accordingly.

Accepted, though I'm going to exchange Stone Construction from the Aslani for Raise Dead as a starting Arcana. Otherwise you would be a mortuary cult without any actual arcana.
