You will be allowed to develop your character in any way that you wish so long as you follow our simple rules.

at the moment our site is a little outdated, but we will be updating it shortly
_____________________________________________
Chapter 1: The birth of a fellowship
To know the story of the CrystalWarriors, you must first know the history of the Core. Deep inside the Planeshift Universe, hidden from the eyes of all mortal creatures, lies the power that once created this world and all it's inhabitants. This mighty force will always be protected by the Guardians of The Core,
To be a Guardian of the Core is an honor only the true and faithful Guardian will understand. To protect the essence of life in this universe is the reason for it being. No higher purpose can a creature have, than to be the one force that stands before death to guard life.
Paladins, Mages, Rogues, Warlocks, Rangers, and more will be banded together to serve and honor The Core. They will build a great hall where they can meet and plan for the future. These mighty Guardians will ride great flying beasts and rain down hell-fire from the skys on all who try to harm the Core of life. These same mighty warriors will take the newcomers of this land and teach them the ways of the Core, showing them the light and goodness that shines from the unseen, all-powerful giver of life in this universe......
But on one eventful day, a fortune teller came upon the Guardians and warned of the end of the world.
Death claimed so many lives that season, its foul smell suffocating those who escaped the touch of its piercing hand, leaving behind nothing but a great feast for the carrion fowl.
No victor had emerged from the great war, defeat swept over all, thrones fell, vows were broke, and men fell in battle..... and women and children, who, had circumstances been different, would have lived, but things being what they were, many perished....
......the universe was badly wounded......
......the years passing, seemed to heal this wound not, it only withered further ......
..... the universe was dying......
The priests of the Guardians called upon the mightest warriors of the Core to go forth and seek out the madness that was enveloping the universe and bring it to a halt, to restore what was right and true, to defend the weak, and to honor the dead who had fallen trying to protect their beliefs and families. These warriors, these CrystalWarriors, gathered together and set out to do whatever it might take, no matter what the odds, to correct the mistakes and make the universe whole again.
So goes the quest of the CrystalWarriors.......
And as the Core is forever linked with the CrystalWarriors, so shall the Crystal be linked with the Warriors, hence the guild name CrystalWarriors.
_____________________________________________
Goals:
Our main goal is to have a guild where everyone is active and works together with friendship. We want to set up Crafting and Merchant rings, once we are able to do this. We want to train and learn and teach, which we are doing now. In every possible way we want to be a guild that will last.
_____________________________________________
Leadership:
The Leadership of the CrystalWarriors is a unique government, controlled by the Elder Council with input from the Paladins.
The Priest is a Elder Council member, who has no more power than the other Elder Council members in the running of the guild. The Priest is there to call the meetings and control the discussions that will have to take place before a policy change can legally occur.
There is no one leader, there are many leaders that have the same equal power and share the one common goal, to insure that at all times the membership of the guild will have one or more leaders who are there for them and to insure that the guild is able to move forward into the future.
The Elder Council will be reponsible for making all the final decisions concerning the guild. They will gather together and discuss the things that will affect the direction of the guild. These Elder Council must be the most devoted members of the guild, concerned only with the progress and the future of the guild. The Elder Council are the ones who will set the rules and enforce them.
The Paladins are the War Leaders of the guild, and hold the reponsibility of insuring the training of the new members. The Paladins will teach or assign someone to teach the basic art of combat to all new members to give them a fighting chance. The Paladins will advise the Elder Council on matters concerning training and how we can improve on it. The Paladins will also have the responibility of advising the Elder Council if a policy change is needed.
These are the Three Houses of Leadership in the CrystalWarriors. All these members are devoted to insuring that the guild moves forward.

Thats a great start. You have a good story, the ranks seem thought out and the site looks really good as well. I have seen members of your guild in game quite a bit the last few days so you are atleast active too. Good luck with your guild.
-
Yeah it looks really good. visit Valbrandrs site if you need insperation (no im not being sarcastic) i wont mention my site because we havent been workin on it for a bit.
-
Thank you for your kind comments, we still have some work to do on the site, but we are trying to make it better.
-
ahh too lazy to read your story... but the website looks pretty good ;) I dunno if it is just me but... what are your goals?
-
Thank you for your input
ahh, to lazy to read your whole reply, but to answer the last part about the goals......
Our main goal is to have a guild where everyone is active and works together with friendship. We want to set up Crafting and Merchant rings, once we are able to do this. We want to train and learn and teach, which we are doing now. In every possible way we want to be a guild that will last. I hope that answers your question about our goals.
-
The web-site is amazing 8o
Nice story too, good luck for the guild!
-
Very fine goals, you CrystalWarriors have all my agree... Knowledge is the salt and pepper of the world
Shannath
-
Thank you, Shannath for your kind remarks. We do intend to have good goals and to be a respected guild. We are working everyday to try and improve on something. We have a very active membership and things are moving forward nicely.
-

-

Not to be rude... (on the other hand, why not?), but do you have any original, unique goals?
-
Oh, I don\'t take your reply as being rude, although I do not understand why some feel it is necessary to be that way. Actually, I am glad to have a reponse from you, at least I now know, that you have read part of my post anyway.
To answer your question:
Maybe what I have listed as our goals of being an active guild seemed to me and the other leaders of our guild, to be the most important part of having a strong guild.
Maybe, we decided that helping new players and members to learn the basics of the PS world would enhance their enjoyment of the whole experience.
Maybe, we hope that friendships made here in our guild will last beyond the bountries of the game.
I have stated before that we are trying to improve every day, and I meant exactly that.
We think our goals are fine at the moment, and we will set new goals once we achieve the ones we have set for now.
We hope to be growing for a long, long time, and not necessarily in membership, but as a guild, seeking new discoverys and knowledge.
I see no reason to set goals that have no chance of being reached at this time. We are not seeking for everyone to join with us, only the ones who will be active and participate in the guild wholeheartly. I, and the members of the CrystalWarriors, feel we are on the right path, but thank you for your input, and I mean that sincerely.
-
for mike if you are getting the dot.tk registration page make sure you put in crystal-warriors.tk

If you think that every guild is going to have a unique goal, then you are living in a Dreamworld (though it would be cool :D).
Maybe what I have listed as our goals of being an active guild seemed to me and the other leaders of our guild, to be the most important part of having a strong guild.
You are quite good at fulfilling that goal ;)
Maybe, we decided that helping new players and members to learn the basics of the PS world would enhance their enjoyment of the whole experience.
Correct, yet too few players realises this... but really sometimes newbs should just learn to read the players guide...
Well for one I think your goals are good, just stick to them if you think it\'s right. As an old saying says \"just follow what your heart tells you\" ;)... did I mention how cool your website is? :D
-
Well, this guild seems promising compared to other new guilds. Good luck to you Rallelalli.
-
Jazeera, Icefalcon, thank you both for your support. It means a lot to us to have some of the older members of PS to understand that we are determined to be a respected guild.
As to our site, we are proud of the work of Kian, Mahor, and other members who have worked on it. Kian got the site up and running in two days time and has done a wonderful job with it.
While I am at it, I also want to say how proud I am of all our members, they are some of the most active and some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure to be around.
-
There is definitely something to be said for just plain friendship. After all, that\'s all most guilds are about. Personally though, I wouldn\'t start a guild that doesn\'t have anything original about it. I guess that\'s just a personal desire to stand out, though. So good luck. If you can withstand with relatively few real goals, then you will be able to achieve any goals you decide to set for yourselves later on.
*realizes he hasn\'t said anything negative in this post*
But don\'t forget, you\'re still newb scum. :D
-
lol, we may not have so many unique goals, but we are certainly unique, in the fact that we are so close and so active. We seem to strive our best to help eachother out, unlike some other guilds that just build for numbers, no names ;)
-
That is the way to do i Itabdiel. Before people join us I like to get to know them on a personal level. I want to learn who they are in rl. If you can become close friends each person will want to help more and try to stay active. Plus I just like to meet new/good people :).

I don\'t know if you meant that to be arrogant, but do you realize that you\'re insinuating that you\'re the only guild that is close and active?
-
hm, just for interrest,
Is this what came out of \"The Core\" - \"\"Guild\"\" (well as ingame term) that made hydlaa insecure for weeks? It had the same history.
-
Please excuse the excitement of some, that is not the impression we wish to present, but we are proud of the fact that our members are being so active. Youth, if only I could reclaim it.
Yes, the leaders of the CrystalWarriors came from the Core, but I don\'t know about the insecurity of Hydlaa.
As to the history, I and Kian, and Abe wrote that history while we were with the Core, and since it was never put on a site, we decided to use it here. with a few changes to make it fit us. We are allied with the Core and their new leader, Zakema, is a friend to us. They are the first part of the history and still remain to protect the Core, we are the future of the history, and it remains to be seen what will develop for us.
-
I in no way meant to imply that we are the only guild that is close and active, just that it seems there aren\'t all too many of em out there, my guess would be 15-30 of who knows how many there are.
-
Well, good luck to you guys. You have a good sstart it seems.
-
Many guilds are in-game only...and some play at diffrent times..but ya..there are very few out there.
-
Good luck with your guild Crystal Warriors.
-
Your guild sure does seem very interesting, and very well made. Good Luck in the future.
Ah, and in the end I want to say some words, that I want you to remember.
\"Members will always come and go, it\'s inevitable. The leaders are the ones that matter, and their devotion to the guild and their beliefs\" :)
-

Yeah well, once upon a time I stumbled over a \"Core\" Member everywhere, guys called Beerkeg I and so.
ah, Kian, he\'s a good friend of mine, we both brought Taser on that gambling idea, while mining platinum. :D
-
Thanks for your comments and support.
Beerke is one of our Elder Council members, he is just inactive at this time, due to RL, we hope to see him back soon. I am sure RL will interfer from time to time with all of us, and that is the reason we have set up our government so it does not have to stop because of it. No matter which of us in the leadership has to leave the guild because of RL, we (the guild) will not be a victim to it.
-
The CrystalWarriors have as much potential as I have seen in a new guild. They have good leadership.. very active members the ability to perservere. Good luck.

But that\'s not saying much. :D No seriously though, I hate to be negative, but good leadership isn\'t everything. Look at Cutting Edge, they had the best leadership possible. :D
Seriously though, they do have real possibilities.
-
Nah, I thought Cutting Edge was lead by some half wit :D . But another thing is it is tough to die when your members are so active.
-
Not really, my members were fairly active. But anyway, as we\'ve seen there are many ways guilds can die, but I will not sow doubts unless they are based on something concrete, or unless I feel like it particularly. :D
-
Extremly interested in joining (I know your not looking but I cant pass this up), Ill leave one on your clan forums.
-Atlas
-
nice start, good history, I like :)
Ive visited the site too, looks good. I even posted :P
-
Well, I\'m looking at the guilds which managed to survive the trial of time and remained on Kada\'s guild list.
We have there an evil empire, guild of mercenaries, mages, protectors, craftsmen, rogues, madmen and even felines. The list, of course, goes on.
I\'d have to disagree with anyone here who said this guild has possibilities. First, let me point out there is no actual factor that would make this guild single itself out from all the others. If I remember right, it\'s something about protecting Azure Sun. All right, that is a goal, but so what? How will it make this guild any different from others which fight to do something? It lacks some \"personality\", something that would make people give it closer look before checking the next guild. The most likely way of gaining members here seems to be guild\'s activity. But activity comes and goes, especially after you start with big number of members and can\'t keep track of their activity too well.
And as for the well made organisation, from what I seen that isn\'t exactly the key to success. The more that most \"well made\" organisations could be replaced by \"leader, sub-leader, soldier\" system and it could work even better. The key to success is in the members, obviously better when they have interesting personalities and already stand strong in PS community. Of course it is a common answer that \"We have great members and all are friends\", but that certainly isn\'t enough to attract \"best quality\" people and push the guild forward. Maybe a way to stay in shadows and don\'t bring anything new (and important) to the world of Yliakum.
It can have possibilities as a group of friends, but not as a guild.
Just my two trias.
-
Well I agree with you that the goals arnt...specific, but if they follow up on their history (fighting evil) and become large enough, they could possibly become more distinct as they \"good-doers\". As far as I\'ve seen there isn\'t a clan yet that vows to protect ALL people from ALL evils, if they follow this path they might earn a good name for themselves. If this their main idea then they should probably state it in their goals as to avoid anyone confusion.
P.S. If those arnt their goals and anyone knows of a clan that does vow to protect the general population then please let me know.
-
There happen to be such guilds: http://tavern.blueglyph.net/modules.php?name=Guilds
-
None of them seem to actually FIGHT for good, they just \"help out\"
-
Chaotic warriors should be doing something in the fight against evil, or the fight for good whatever suits you the best. But yet it seems that they have been rather inactive lately...
-
How do you join? \'m not sure who to ask. I registered on your forums but honestly, I have no idea what to do.. Also what are the requirements to join?
-
The link to the site didn\'t work. I would like to join your clan. My name is going to be Shasta. And I am going to be a mage.
Edit: Nevermind, I\'m joining the other guild accross the street. They have an XBox and everything. And what we have is a crappy Sega Genesis. Good bye :P.
-
hmm good to see people read this threads to lookf for guilds to join once again :)
-
The link works perfectly for me - I think you should post in the welcome section of their forum to join, as for the requirements aren\'t they on the site?
-
Hello, there!
If you are lost in the Yliakum,
If you are serching for YOUR place in the game,
If you are searching for help and advice,
If you still have not found good friends and company,
If you plan to visit Yliakum often,
If you have original ideas...
You are welcome to join The CrystalWarriors Guild!
Please visit our website and post your request in \"Welcome\" section.
In the game you should contact members of the Guild Command Ring.
All information you should find in http://www.crystal-warriors.tk
Welcome!
-
Nice to hear the Crystal Warriors are active again. Good luck with recruting new members!
-
We are always active.. Just we have little people left after all wipes and updates..
Rhasa
-
Yes we do need more members we have only 6 or 7 active members right now hopefully we will have more soon.
-
I would like to ask forum moderators to delete another thread, called \"Crystal Warriors\" (note the space between words). It basically has no valuable discussion for our guild, and besides we can not have recruiting thread, as it will make 3 CW theads in total. As i understood, there are only 2 allowed.
Of cource it can be joined to this thread also.. can\'t it?
Rhasa
-
Please, do not post your requests here, in this forum.
There are not many members in our guild, so this particular forum is visited quite seldom.
If you want faster responce, please go to our guild site (http://www.crystal-warriors.tk) and post your request to join there.
We have spetial thread \"looking to join\" in \"welcome\" topic. It is free for all guests, so you do not need to register to forums.
-
I don\'t think they can do thread merging, but if there was anything useful in the thread you want saved - just copy and paste it into a text file first, and make a post with the quotes in it so people know whats going on.

Hello proud warriors
To be short I\'d like to be enroled in your guild !
[off rp: I also post on your forum]
I don\'t know what is your current policy about recuitement (i\'ve seen on the forum that you don\'t recruit and then another post where you search for new comrades, so...) but I\'d like to join your guild.
My [in-game] name is [also] Baston, i\'m a Ynnwn warrior.
My story, I fear, is not really exciting. After my birth my parents where to poor to send me to school, so I live in the street and I was frequently involve in street fights. To survive in the cruel street of Hydlaa I was forced to eat rats flesh...
But it\'s not that bad : the good side is that since I\'m a child I train myself !
When I was a teenage I was attract by a gang, and a fearsome one ! Indeed they act like a guild but they abviously aren\'t ! This gang is nammed Anarchy Warrior.
I was young and the power of a group is attractive for someone which have been alone during his all life.
But a day, when I was going to my trainning, I stop a while to look at the sky... I was caught by the peace of the moment...
The Crystal was warm and shine... And my eyes open.
From this instant I was changed : I start to see how stupid I have been to join the Anarchy Warrior gang.
Moreover the Anarchy Warrior wants to dominate Yliakum and I\'ve never seek such a power !
So my fate keep up with me and I left Anarchy Warrior !
Now I feel more easy because I\'m not forced anymore to do things I don\'t want to do, but... I\'m alone again...
I\'m still young but I become stronger each day. I believe that I can be usefull to your guild.
[I can give my stats here but it\'s not really roleplay]
I hope that you will accept you in your guild. I like your guild story and I believe that your actions and activity in game are exactly what i\'m searching for !
I\'m waiting for a (positive :) response of you.
Baston
-
I have been away for a long while, but the CrystalWarriors have always remained in my heart and thoughts.
The activity level may have slowed down but we are not dead and gone. We still roam the wild and hunt the unjust. Recuitment has begun again.
If you are interested, go to the site and leave a message. Or seek out one of the members online.
CrystalWarriors will be as strong as ever, believe that.
-
I have updated and changed a few things about the guild. Nothing major, but have added a Craft house to the ranks.
