Pardon my singing. Yes it is extremely easy to become an Imperial... but you should do a reality check before joining, deciding whether or not you will survive in the Empire. Otherwise you'll become Anathema. Note: This is not necessarily a bad thing. When you are ready to join, just contact anyone with , Imperial... after their name that's in Thera. You should introduce yourself, including your rank, class and whatnot. Then ask them for the bloodoath. (Keep in mind that the Bloodoath power is gotten at level 24.) Depending on your 'style' you have a few options. I personally like to speak to those in my Sect, even if they're below the 24th, and then have them scrounge around for someone to bloodoath me, even if it's from another sect. You might want to only be bloodoathed by someone of your sect, whatever, it doesn't really matter too much. After you're bloodoathed, ask who you're supposed to talk to. You're correct in assuming that you speak to the Emperor or your Sect Leader. Usually they will ask the Imperial Scribe who is bloodoathed, and then see if it is someone they are supposed to talk to (i.e. interview). The interview is phenomenally easy, just remember to stay in character, don't use any real world slang, like, 'Hey I like it cuz like, I'll get powers and stuff, and I know you peeps gang others and ya know, that's cool.' Instead, 'I realize my outlook on life is the same of those in the Empire, and together we are more powerful.' I'm sure you get the idea. The entire interview process, as I said, is very easy... once a sect leader or the emperor is actually on. Again, if you don't get inducted within a week or so you might want to contact someone and ask them what's going on... Remember, the Empire is designed that getting kicked out is much easier than getting let in. > And is the process to be bloodoathed by any citizen, then inducted by the leader of your sect or Emporer? > Any hints, tips, snide remarks?
