# WHO WE ARE

We are **The Onyx Chapter**, an international cross-plattform clan, formerly known as **Nefarious Reticence** and **Nova Ravnica**. The Onyx Chapter has been founded in 2013 by -Onyx-Lich. The clan is also co-managed by -Onyx-Banshee.

As of 2020, we are a casual community with many seasoned players eager to share their knowledge and expertise. We are now back with another recruitment wave!

We also play other games! Our community has previously been active in a variety of franchises and games such as Dota 2, Helldivers 2, Warhammer 40.000 Space Marine 2, Valorant, or Minecraft. So even if you are hit by a Warframe burnout, feel free to chill and play other games with us!

# OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Our aim is to offer both casual and competitive gamers a platform where they can showcase their creativity and prowess in a positive, non-toxic setting. We guide newcomers, helping them rise to the ranks of skilled players. Simultaneously, we host events and maintain a vibrant level of competition to keep our seasoned players engaged.

# TECHNICAL DETAILS & WHAT WE OFFER

* **ACCESS TO ALL RESEARCHES** As a max rank Mountain clan, the dojo of the Onyx Chapter provides you access to all researches.
* **ACTIVE ALLIANCE** We are also part of the [Architects Anonymous](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGmRTJOj5I8) alliance, which mostly focuses on decoration content for clans and bases of command, but also clan features in general.
* **AGE RESTRICTIONS** Our only age restriction is the minimum age required to be allowed to use Discord and to play Warframe. We always make sure to recruit by maturity rather than setting a certain minimum age - your behavior dictates whether you are cut out to be a good member or not. Our current average age is \~28.
* **EXTRA RESOURCES** Our seasoned players will provide you resources on request that will help you keep track of your progress, provide a better overview, and improve your quality of life within Warframe.
* [FULLY CUSTOMIZED DOJO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhYDUzXPF9k) All rooms have been fully decorated and are slightly inspired by Warhammer 40.000. Our structured transporter system will make your navigation through the dojo significantly faster and easier. We are also one of the winners of the Autumn 2023 Dojo Contest, the Summer 2025 Dojo Contest, and the Spring 2026 Dojo Contest.
* **FULLY OUTFITTED DISCORD SERVER** Bots with features such as price checking, riven grading, and worldstate updates will help you along your way. Our automated feeds will always keep you up to date.
* **GOOD COMPANY** We provide a non-toxic environment. We do missions cooperatively and in the most efficient ways, but we also love to have some relaxed gaming sessions. Our community is not only about Warframe either since most of our current members have been with the clan for more than 5 years. So you may expect some off-topic talking as well. Most of our players are from EU/US regions.
* **NO CONTRIBUTION DEMAND** We don't expect you to contribute resources at any time, as the leadership and our most loyal players usually take care of any researches the same day as they are released. We will let you know if we need resources so you can help voluntarily, but we will never expect you to contribute.
* **PRESTIGE** With more than 280 global top placements and tournament wins in total, and consistent top 0.1% rankings across all leaderboards, we have also been featured by Digital Extremes (DE) several times and we were previously sponsored by a variety of companies to host our own tournaments.
* **RANKS, CHALLENGES & EVENTS** We have different ranks and challenges for you to reach and accomplish. Show that you not only are a part of the Onyx Chapter, but that you also have the skill and means to achieve excellence. You can also win events or participate in giveaways to earn prizes.
* **REGULAR CLAN ACTIVITY** With the new clan feature introduced in the Shadowgrapher Update, we do clan missions regularly in order to grab the personal rewards that also benefit the clan at the same time.
* **RELAXED ACTIVITY RULES** Real life comes first - so we prioritize comfortable memberships. Players are removed from the clan in Warframe after 50 days of inactivity. They are still allowed to remain on the Discord server while keeping their ranks, and may rejoin the clan at any time.
* **TRANSPARENT LEADERSHIP** As our leadership is transparent, you can influence ongoing clan work in discussions and suggest your own ideas. Resources aren't the only way to contribute in a clan - prove your intelligence and creativity by getting involved in clan business. Our leadership is also very experienced with more than 20 years of community development and management.

# HOW TO JOIN

**This is your chance to become a part of the Onyx Chapter. Send the following information to onyx.lich on Discord:**

* **FIRSTNAME/NICKNAME** *(The name you would like to be called. Excludes numbers or too long names.)*
* **COUNTRY** *(The country you are from.)*
* **WARFRAME USERNAME** *(Include the name discriminator. Example: -Onyx-Lich#119.)*
* **CONCERNS / QUESTIONS** *(Optional.)*

**Remember to send onyx.lich a friend request on Discord. If you don’t send him friend request, your Discord settings could likely prevent contact.**

Also keep in mind that we have a lot of applicants and only very few open slots, so we also put value on how you approach us. **Simple social skills come a long way.** Spamming only with details and showing an inability to say as much as a simple “Hello” will likely get you filtered out.
