Title: Forest Guardians
Post by: Draklar on January 08, 2005, 11:59:59 am: Forest Guardians

Greetings fellow Hydlaans and travellers coming from far away. Please, sit by campfire and let my story be heard today. The story is short, yet of old and most noble race, that is living by pleasures and showing eternal grace. Our Dermorian kin to forested grounds does bind, there training hunting, training arcane mind. Many songs forests did hear from this fun-loving race, changing the awe-inspiring woods into long parties\' place.

But not always was our kin from dreaded danger afar, invasions of nomadic knights left on our race a scar. From Dermoria our ancestors were chasen away, after much blood got spilled in the horrible fray. They had to travel into the lands of unknown, leaving behind awful memories and the horrid groan.

And finally they found a new land, their new home. In the endless labyrinths for food did they roam. Many years have passed since those darkened days. Now - we have returned to our peaceful ways. Once more can forests hear our songs full of bliss, sang in harmony brought by nature\'s kiss.

So now we all strive to gather our kin, the elven race happy and noble within. We shall sing together and drink grand wine, bards tell awing stories while having a dine. Dancing and singing by the music\'s voice, for all days we shall now together rejoice. And when the horrid danger meets us again, let it meet our weapons, of our arrows rain. And no further foes, no further war, shall break the chains of our old folklore.

Leadership of Forest Guardians falls in hands of the nobility, which splits to Elders (Seer and Dryads) and Generals (Woodriders). Despise being on top of guild\'s hierarchy, Seer is not the \"supreme\" leader. He has no control over Scouts or any of the footmen. Control over them belongs to the generals.
Thus the leadership splits into two fields:
Elders - keeping in order guild as a whole, as well as giving orders to Woodriders and Rangers.
Generals - commanding Scouts and footmen (that remain under their patronage), thus becoming leaders of particular squads.

There are however ways for Elders to influence the footmen:
When Dryad asks Woodrider, that swore oath to her, to deliver her a special potion, he may then order one of his Hunters to do that instead.

The alignment of Forest Guardians is lawful-neutral. Just like the nature itself, we try to remain in perfect order.
Still, we do not care about one\'s alignment nor his profession. What we require from our members however is to show respect to others

All are welcome to visit us in our forest dwelling (http://www.seperot.com/forestguardians/index.html) if they wish to learn more about us or simply listen to one of our tales.

Post by: Foresteer on January 08, 2005, 12:50:02 pm: oooooh all foresty... i like it! (for obvious reasons)

Post by: Icefalcon on January 08, 2005, 06:38:46 pm: Hmm, very nice. Good luck with the new guild. I would definately consider joining if I made an alt char.

*considers*

Naa, I\'ll stick to Icefalcon.

Post by: DepthBlade on January 08, 2005, 08:08:58 pm: Heh...ok have fun with that :)

OOC: Bloodie treehuggers, I would use my Alt Char but I noticed someone already took NightShade.

Post by: Kwip on January 09, 2005, 12:02:24 am: Finally a guild made up of forest loving people :) Though I am at the moment wandering what will be the purpose; will it be mostly a bunch of rangers to do rangery things, or some protecters of forests or what? Dont take this as critism, I LOVE forests, but just wandering what you all shall do.

Good luck with the guild and remember forests ARE paradise :D

Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 09, 2005, 12:21:47 am: The main goal is to form an elven (dermorian) community strongly based on roleplaying. And besides that... well... to feast and give vent to creativity. ;)
And in the dark days to protect our homeland.

And since I\'m posting anyway: the discussion boards of Forest Guardians were just created. Sadly, look dull and empty for now...

Post by: Syzerian on January 09, 2005, 12:45:07 am: Well Ill be sure to stop by every now and then to help up with the activity. Heh when I saw this thread I thought \"Aww man, not another guardian guild... probably some newbie too...\" and boy was I supprised :D
I wish this guild a long and happy life.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 09, 2005, 01:12:30 am: Aye, there are a lot of guardian/guard guilds at the moment, aren\'t there? ;)

Well of course, everyone are more than welcome to join our feasts. :)

Post by: snow_RAveN on January 09, 2005, 07:24:02 pm: Mind me, but it sounds over strangly elf likeishnessness.

~wonders what will happen when kupi\'s lumber jack guild comes to town~[edit] damm now i have a image of big burly cannadian lumber jacks and dermorian hippies fighting over the forest ... this is not gonna be good for sleep[/edit]

- Swords
Title:
Post by: Annah on January 12, 2005, 12:04:36 pm: Very impressive.
In my opinion, Merdarion is right now a very \"strong\" member of this community.
Congratulations Draklar ;)

He\'s definitely getting there.

*chalks up ANOTHER guild that Dralkar\'s been a part of*

Wonder how long this one\'ll last.
Title:
Post by: seperot on January 12, 2005, 12:27:49 pm: Phinehas its not a question of how long the guild will last but how long draklar will be a member before he has a change of heart and moves somewhere else :P

That\'s what I meant. The \"it\" I referred to was Draklar\'s membership, not the guild itself. Sorry for the poor wording.

Post by: Uther Penndragon on January 12, 2005, 02:58:12 pm: Good luck with your guild Draklar
you have the full support of the Goddess and the elements ;)

I am honoured to hear this from you Annah. Well I am giving my best. But I also have to say that I am quite a newb and I really need to learn much more about yliakum than I know now.

anyone shall be able to change his mind in my opinion, and anyone actually does this. the whole problem is that Draklar is kinda famous.

Well Its like you have cities. Our forest is our room to live. If someone threatens it we will take our sword and fight for it. I believe that you wont wait a moment to draw your sword if your hometown is under siege.

I should stop using Well at the beginning of each sentence.

Post by: TheRedMonk on January 12, 2005, 05:30:47 pm: Merdarion! It\'s great to see that you\'ve joined this fine guild. Did Draklar use his charm on you or did you join by your own initiative?
Whether or not Draklar wants to stay in it forever or not shouldn\'t matter much since a guild shouldn\'t be about one member. If the guild in the end can\'t do without him, then it probably wasn\'t that good after all. ;)

I bid you good luck and the guild a long life without any enemies.

Post by: seperot on January 12, 2005, 05:52:30 pm: congratz Merdarion i hope you prosper well in this fine guild :)

You are right for sure that a guild is not worth anything when it depends on a single person, but at the moment it would mean to lose 1/3 of the guild, and recruiting is going slow enough.

Well Draklar I think we should make a Sign Up thread.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 12, 2005, 06:52:04 pm: We won\'t be making any other threads...
If someone wants to join, he should post it here... or send PM... or something...

need tea.

Well kind of both. Its pretty strange. But well mostly it depends on Dralklars charme
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 20, 2005, 01:20:08 pm: Well I started creation of dermorian folklore, as can be seen on our discussion boards.
All dermorians (be that from Forest Guardians or from any other guild) are most welcome to stop by the Feast Festival and join the discussion, giving their own ideas if they wish so. I would be glad if they did :)
Title:
Post by: MercenaryVII on January 20, 2005, 01:26:56 pm: Draklar your the leader of a guild called Forest Guardians? I thought you should only be called guild. hehe. old charming Draklar is a hypocrite

(dont take it seriously, just ribbin ya)
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 20, 2005, 01:29:55 pm: Technically, this isn\'t a guild, it\'s more of a society...
Title:
Post by: MercenaryVII on January 20, 2005, 02:21:55 pm: i think it looks like a good guild (or organisation) and i wish you all the best with it
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 20, 2005, 04:57:52 pm: So anyway, if someone actually wanted to check the Folklore Thread (http://forestguardians.board.dk3.com/2/viewtopic.php?t=8), sorry for the connecting speed. Dk3 server sucks and we have no place to host the forums for now :/

Edit: Another dermorian joined our kindred. I welcome Warfo to the Forest Guardians.
Title:
Post by: Merdarion on January 21, 2005, 01:30:29 pm: Be greeted Warfo, let the forest glades welcome you with open arms

I will be honoured to join the ones of our kin with such a noble purpose.

Post by: Moogie on January 22, 2005, 02:25:34 am: Thread cleaned, and from now on, guarded...

No more spam, and stay on-topic. If you want to fight about things, fight in PMs, not here.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 24, 2005, 10:11:16 pm: As can be seen in the opening post, the alignment of Forest Guardians was changed to lawful-neutral. Just a detail, but I couldn\'t honestly call ourselves \"chaotic\" with the new hierarchy. For more details about the new order, check Ranks and Hierarchy link in the members page.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 27, 2005, 11:47:38 pm: Well, I did some tweaking with web design and all... any comments on it? Is it better than before?... worse? :/
Title:
Post by: Syzerian on January 28, 2005, 12:30:13 am: Looks better but there are too many buttons down the side.
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on January 28, 2005, 03:32:23 am: The alignment is messed up a little in my IE browser. There is a line 1px wide between the header image and the rest. Theres also a line about 3-4 px wide right under the \"home\" button. Otherwise it looks good, except I think you should get some sort of menu bar on the side rather than 13 individual buttons.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 28, 2005, 07:43:53 am: Hmm... yes, I know about the lines problem... was too tired to look into it, but I\'ll try to fix that...

Edit: Added to opening post something that I thought needs calrifying.

Post by: Draklar on January 29, 2005, 07:39:47 pm: Well it seems I won\'t be able to fix the website alignment problem (but hey, people should use Opera anyway ;))
Altho\' Warfo is working on some php so maybe he\'ll fix it while doing so...
Title:
Post by: Merdarion on January 29, 2005, 08:46:47 pm: Well I really like the new style seer, (just hope that my chaotic behaviour, wont make to much nonesense)

But is there any difference between RANKS and HIERACHY,
and on the bottom of the page there is some wierd thingy, the anligement however works (Mozilla), but the Music aint.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 29, 2005, 08:55:05 pm: Well Ranks show short description of each of them, whilst Hierarchy who has command over whom, plus ways of getting promoted.

Hmm and about that problem... I have no skills in web development so again, only Warfo could fix that :/
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on January 31, 2005, 03:42:44 am: Sounds like a great guild Drak. A guild the CV can definently support.
