Order. Discipline. Honor.
Dies Irae [ˈdi.ɛs ˈi.rɛ] is a militarized guild wholly dedicated to improving the world and trying to make it a better place through tactics other people would normally deem unusual, eccentric or even flat-out immoral, it’s goal being the eradication of evil and anarchy wherever and whenever possible, through any and all means possible, effective, and adequate, maintaining their own distinct code of morality and honor as well as assisting the people of Earthland where truly needed while, in all other aspects, functioning as a normal legal guild. In general, the ends justify the means, as long as the outcome benefits the guild and the people of Earthland.
