Cortex Blight
🧠 Cortex Blight – Guild Manifesto
🎯 Purpose / Ethos
🔹 Trade & Crafting
We aim to become one of the largest and most reliable suppliers in the community. Our focus is on resource acquisition and providing high-demand goods to both internal members and external buyers through structured trade operations.
🔹 PvE
Our goal is to ensure the guild has the capability and organization to access all PvE content in the game — including world events, boss encounters, exploration, and progression. We welcome both casual and goal-oriented PvE players.
🔹 PvP
While not our primary focus, we are building a competent and tactical PvP group for deep desert operations. PvP members will find meaningful ways to contribute.
🔹 Roleplay
RP is optional, but we aim to keep events and comms in alignment with the guild’s lore and aesthetic. Light roleplay and immersion are welcome — especially during major missions, ceremonies, and themed events.
📥 Recruitment Process
Cortex Blight is a currently open guild. We welcome new operatives, traders, and analysts ready to earn their place.
Activity and contribution are key to advancement.

🧠 Guild Lore
🕶️ Who We Are
Cortex Blight is a clandestine Harkonnen sub-faction composed of neuro-assassins, psychowarfare tacticians, and cyber-alchemists.
We do not march. We unmake.
We are the black protocol — unspoken, deniable, surgically precise.
🏜️ Origins: The Rise of Cortex Blight
Born from the aftermath of the Kaidar Cipher Failure, Cortex Blight was shaped by Syn Veyl — a failed Mentat fused with forbidden Ixian neuralware.
He built a cult of entropy, not with swords, but transmissions.
Our first agents were AI remnants, broken minds, and exiles — recompiled, not recruited.
“Destroy not what your enemy builds — destroy why he builds.”
🩸 The Philosophy: Elegance of Obsolescence
Victory is not seen — it is felt in the silence.
Rather than kill a general, we disconnect the loyalty beneath him.
Rather than burn a fortress, we rewrite the reason it was raised.
Recruits undergo The Severing, where past loyalties are purged. A new operative is not born — they are compiled.
🕶️ Relationship with House Harkonnen
We are House Harkonnen’s ghost knife — the silent purge before the scream.
- We dismantle reputations
- We erase political memory
- We turn stability into rot
They do not name us.
But they deploy us.
🧬 Guild Structure
Cortex Blight uses a dual hierarchy:
- 🗡️ Operative Path: PvP, infiltration, combat ops
- ⚙️ Cipher Path: Trade, intelligence, resource control
Ranks are fluid. Operatives are known by designation, not title. Information flows in bursts, not chains.
🕷️ Notable Protocols & Traditions
🔻 The Severing
A neurochemical ritual to sever identity and past memory, replacing them with coded loyalty and algorithmic obedience.
🔻 The Echo Drop
An engineered misinformation cascade released into enemy comms, designed to collapse trust networks through hallucination, reversed data, and false orders.
🔻 The Scourge Ledger
A classified hit list whose erasures would cause multi-faction collapse. Only Syn Veyl knows the full contents.
🤝 Known Allegiances or Rivalries
🟥 House Harkonnen Alignment
We serve the Baron — not with fealty, but with function. We deliver outcomes that require no witness.
We are the ghosts in the Baron’s bloodstained playbook.
