Description: The Stone Lotus clan is the personification of goodness, a halo of piety! They may be called mercenaries, but that does not mean they will do any kind of dirty work! The clan has an unwritten law, which is held sacred and strictly observed! Following the letter of the law, the members of the clan bring goodness into this world, helping the poor, sick and those in need of protection. The warriors of Stone Lotus are wherever they are needed to be. A long time ago, the clan was part of a large organisation, the Night Stealers. It is an ancient clan with which the Stone Lotus were proud to be associated. But then their outlook on life and the work of a mercenary began to diverge from that of other clan members. There were those who had only goal - enrichment! It was not important for them how they earned money! They were ready to kidnap innocent mermaids to sell to bored aristocrats for entertainment! They sunk as low as robbing from the poor! Such evildoers are entirely contrary to the moral principles of the Stone Lotus!

To join the clan, you must visit  Lloyd the Redoubtable. The main work of the Stone Lotus clan is the fulfillment of orders such as helping farmers, by destroying the monsters which harass them, and saving the defenceless from raging Executioners, bandits and the Red Axes. If the work offered is not to your taste, you can reject it and ask for another task. Tasks are available every 3 days. Increasing your reputation with another mercenary clan will have a negative effect on your Stone Lotus reputation.
