The Dark Shadows guild is here!
We are a neutral guild who believes there should be a balance between \"good\" and \"evil\". We currently have about 15 members and are growing very fast. Our members are very active in the game and are fun to play and talk with and are very helpful to each other.
Once we get trained up enough and large enough, we will participate in many guild wars to make the game more fun and interesting.
We open our doors to anyone who wants to join our guild :)
P.S. I will write a story for our guild soon.
--Dark Lord (guild leader) Masoj Hunett

err.... no ranks, no rules, no link to site or forum?
how come most evil guilds needs either a latin name, or something with dark or black in its name?
-
very professionaly done....well...no not realy come on try and include some information im offended
try to include:
-a background story
-include ranking system and priviledges of that ranking
-a site add on that gives even more information and a place where people can apply to join the guild
-maybe a reward for new members or a monthly reward so more people will join (out of greed)
-and include allies of the guild and enemies of it or maybe advertisements for them
-and perhaps monthly events such as allied guild wars to see who is the stronger (that would be cool!)
and that is about it
-
Come on, if guild wars are anything that make your guild guildable, then best you stop and go to the game that shall not be named.

As opposed to most good guilds, which just have a cliched synonym (wow I cant believe I spelt that correct first time!) of \"The Good Guys\". There are only two evil guilds that have had latin names in recent memory, and thats because both were made by the same group of people.
I find it amusing you called your guild \"The Dark Shadows\", when you aren\'t in fact an evil guild. When I asked you in game why you called it that, you said \"Because it sounded cool\". Seems a pretty shallow and pointless way to decide your guild name, and I\'m pretty sure it reflects the overall quality of your guild. Just another not-thought out guild that will dissapear in a short time.

The name would make one think it was evil, but of course just because it contains the word dark it doesn\'t necessary mean it\'s evil. Could be like in Morrowind \"Dark Brotherhood\" an assassins guild, not evil AFAIK. Although I must admit I thought your guild was evil Shorty, but again you haven\'t given us much info...
And Bael, remember Incensio Tenebrae or Helmora Velsha - weren\'t created by that group of people, and they were evil
-
but.... but... no! when i had hope in the community of Vaalnor you come around and kill that for me >.<
No structure, no roleplay, no purpose.
-
I new i would get flamed, just like many other guilds. My internet is going haywire and i keep losing connection when i wrote it so i couldn\'t write much. I will give ranking system and a background story soon.
**remembers to put on flame suit this time and prepares for impact**
-
*hands taser a handkerchief and friendly tabs on her back*
Come leave this bad, BAD person where it is, let\'s get drunk in Vaalnor...
-
*sniffle* okay... okay lets go to vaalnor....
-
Come leave this bad, BAD person where it is, let\'s get drunk in Vaalnor...
Wait, wait, there is no drinking in...
*Valbrandr thinks about the possibilities
Sure come on in friends!
Valbrandr: ( Valbrandr Enterprises... or Vaalnor Inc. hmmm both have a nice ring to them :D )

The Lore of the Dark Shadows
The Beginning?
It all started a long time ago?
Kloredell was a lush stalagtite much like Yliakum, but leagues away. It was lush with green grass and thick forests. However, Kloredell was ruled by 2 opposing kingdoms, Soleil and Nolank, striving for the same thing. Both wanted absolute power of Kloredell and both wanted to extend their rein out beyond Kloredell to other nearby stalagtites and stalagmites. Then, the dreaded day happened when they declared war. The winner of this war would decide the fate of many other kingdoms to come.
The Resistance?
However, there was a man named Fayodin Hunett who did not believe in the war. He knew that if there ever was a true victor of the Great Kloredian War, as it was called, that many more people would perish and be under taken as slaves as the kingdom expanded outward in its quest for power. He formed a secret guild of people who felt best that each kingdom shall be destroyed for the greater good, even if having to sacrifice themselves in the process. They called themselves the Dark Shadows.
They secretly sabotaged each kingdom?s plans. If a kingdom would get an advantage over the other, they would sabotage them in hopes of the kingdoms fighting to their deaths. Finally, Soleil had won one of the biggest battles ever, using superior strategy and having expertly trained soldiers, they destroyed nearly 1/5th of Nolank?s forces.
The Solution?
Fayodin knew that his band could not stop Soleil from becoming victorious. He had to do something quick. He delved into the libraries searching for a way to destroy both kingdoms. Then he discovered a devastating spell. One that has been ignored by all for a long time and has been outlawed due to its destructiveness. Fayodin thought about the use of it and knew that upon using it, he along with all of Klordell would be destroyed. Fayodin told his son, Masoj Hunett to leave Klordell and never to turn back upon it for it would only bring death. Masoj left as he was told on a long journey for peace.
Fayodin had his followers protect him while he cast the ritual. After 3 days, the ritual was complete. As Fayodin cast the last words, a huge fireball erupting from his very inner self began to expand. It grew exponentially incinerating everything and everyone in its path until it crashed upon the outer most walls of Kloredell. The 2 kingdoms were destroyed, but so was Kloredell itself. Everything was dead and most were in flames. No living creature walked that land anymore.
A New Beginning?
Masoj Hunett walked for a long time, hunting on the creatures that lived in the dark abyss. He hoped that one day he would find a place to settle down in. He drank from underground streams and river systems and took shelter in small caves. After walking for nearly a month, he stumbled upon Yliakum, tired, weary, and barely sane from the ordeal. He settled down and started a new life. As he looked out upon his window in the Kada-El Tavern he saw a beautiful landscape with a diverse cast of seemingly intelligent and kind people. Though as he stayed a while and became a citizen of Yliakum, he soon discovered that underneath the tranquil vistas lie a large network of guilds striving to become the best. He saw that not all was as peaceful as he thought, but he did not want to leave to go back into the darkness. He did not want to see this place suffer the same fate as Kloredell either. So, Masoj Hunett, son of Fayodin Hunett, once again started the Dark Shadows guild.

will give ranks in a few minutes.
-
Aaahh the other stalagtite angle :)
Was waiting for that since I read yliakum was just a stalagtyte in a cavern. Wouldn\'t be a stretch to believe there may be more ;)
If it\'s livebale is ofcourse the question. More stalagtytes doesn\'t have to mean more crystals there to sustain live.
-
had to type it in word and cut and paste it here cuz my internet is skitzo and cuts out randomly.
And that story explains our name too, since that was something that got people going against us.
Members for the most part get promoted based on their skill level and how active they are in the guild/how often they play.
Anyway the rankings from lowest to highest are:
1) Dark Ally - once you know about the game you are promoteed
2) Shadow Starter - once you learn the basis of training/start training and have weapons/glyphs you get promoted
3) Shadow Trainee
4) Dark Recruiter ***first level able to invite new members
5) Shadow Warrior
6) Shadow Hero
7) Shadow Master
8) Demi-Lord
9) Dark Lord (me)
-
I guess an 8 with a ) makes a smily with glasses. anyway it was supposed to be an 8.
-
Then deactivate smiles AND give those ranks descriptions. Wonderfull that Rank 1. is called Dark Ally, but WHY and what is he allowed to?
-
Its Firek...
I better get a huge promotion for this website!!!
and uhhh... I don\'t know how to get a forum. ne1 no how?
-
o ya and maybe a catchy slogan for the site?
-
try writing free forum on google...
-
Ok
First of all, everyone is allowed to send private messages (for when it is implemented) because communication is important IMO. Only Masters and above can post public messages so that it isn\'t filled with unecessary stuff.
Also keep in mind that i have promoted a bunch of people to dark recruiter faster than usual while my guild is smaller so we can build it up faster.
Rank 1) Dark ally - It is called this because these are members of the guild, but not fully initiallized (can\'t think of a better word here) yet. Once they prove that they are active and seem able to be trusted, They have the first part of promotion complete. To actually get promoted to the next level a Dark Ally must show a basic understanding of the game and know who most members of the guild are. I hope you get now why he is called that. (early in the morning and having a hard time finding the right words lol)
2) Shadow Starter - To be promoted, the player must learn the concepts of training and how to level up. They must alsot have a desired path and set of skills they will focus on and start their training in them.
3) Shadow Trainee - Players are underway training and participating in the guild. They understand how the guild works. To be promoted players must train to level 10 in 2 areas. They must also aquire weapons or glyphs.
4) Dark Recruiter - First level a player is allowed to recruit. While we have a smaller guild, a player must recruit 5 people into our guild. On top of that, they must continue to train and become very strong in their ways.
5) Shadow Warrior - Basically to get promoted, a player must reach 1/2 of the maximum level in 2 of their stats. (I think for most skills it is 25).
6) Dark Hero - A player is considered extremely strong and can dispatch large creatures. to be promoted, a player must reach complete training in 2 of their stats. (I think it is 50 for most).
7) Shadow Master - These players are highly looked up to for their expertise and intelligence. They are looked at more than the previous ranks when making/voting on guild decisions. To be promoted, players must max out their major stat (str, end, agi, int, will, char) having to do with their other skills.
8. Demi-Lord - The second in commands, there will only be between 3 and 7 of these in the entire guild, depending on the actual size of it. They can make major decisions if the guild leader is not present/on vacation with a majority vote from them and the shadow masters. (in case of a tie on a decision, which ever side has the most demi-lord votes will go.
