Hear me citizens of Hydlaa!
*a tall white Kran, adorned with transparant blue gems, steps onto a pillar at the edge of Hydlaa Plaza and raises his hands to draw everyone\'s attention*
This morning I woke up from a vision, a message from our divine creator himself. Talad spoke to me through my dreams and he has asked me to unite his followers so that they may overcome the hardships of life together. I were to erect the Hand of Talad, a haven for those that worship our grand master who has given us this land to call home. People of all ranks and races are welcome.
Those that come to us with a pledge of allegiance shall be taken up as Talad\'s servants and will need to prove their faith before the Chosen ones, like myself, and the Eye of Talad A delegate given the favor of our God to watch over his children. After you have been deemed worthy you will be recruited into the Faitful as commoners, farmers, miners, teachers and craftsmen they will be the backbone of our society and support all other branches in every way they can. The Clergy are people of even stronger faith who will spread our faith and educate our followers of Talad\'s greatness. Their coming can allow light to penetrate even the darkest places.
Those with combat skills may join the Blades of Talad and are sworn to protect his followers as well as eradicate his enemies. While those with innate magical powers will be known as the Force of Talad, they are those who will unleash his wrath upon the fallen and wicked, as well as show mercy and place blessings upon his faithful followers. The Paladin and Archeron will lguide both of these arms so that they may not stray from the path.
Our mission is to unite and protect Talad\'s followers. We stand stronger together and together we shall overcome any hardship and resist any temptation!
I have also been given the assignment of cleansing Hydlaa\'s sewers from the wretched cults that have been festering down there. It are the Fanatics and their cultist brethren I speak of. We must strike them down and let their puny fates be held by Talad himself as they fall under his judgement in the Death Realm.
Join me now and stand up for your faith!
(ooc: This guild will be mainly in-game, since I will also be holding this speech on the plaza in a few minutes. There are no forums or website at this time and there will most likely never be one. I don\'t believe we need those external tools to enhance our guild and roleplaying experience.
Secondly, my apologies to Talad for speaking in his name .. I just hope I haven\'t unleashed his wrath and perhaps might some day gain his favor. :P
Lastly I \'m open for all criticism as long as it is polite ;)
P.S.: For those who wonder about my levels, you will see that they are all mentioned in italic in the above post. )

Great, truely great.
I have no critisisms.
Now i know where the fanatics are coming from...
-
i like every aspect of your guild. especially the unique way of describing the ranks..
only one note and its nothing really..
just, you might want to have a website eventually.. it helps with organization. if you\'d like to plan some sort of event,, oh, lets say a festival for Talad, it\'d be nice to let everyone in the guild know, and if timezones are an issue, then forums are a great way to inform your entire guild..
just a thought.. im not one to criticize anything not created by me. i really like the idea. good luck my friend

Thank you both.
I understand that a website and forums could be handy but from what I \'ve seen those areas are either hardly used or overused, which means the in-game activity goes down.
I think that the reasons you named up can be done with the guild notes and MotD as well.
-
wow, a real seeming guild very nice. but for a good guild websites and forums are important keep track of things share info arrange guild-like things...
-
hmmm interesting....eye of the talad...
i had a character called oculus taladeus... a kran...
and this guild made me recreate him...
he(or it since it\'s a kran) might be interested in joing the guild. I held some speaches about peace and tolarance on hydlaa square... it was interesting...
i will support this guild...
the only complaint
blades of talad?... i think talad\'s followers would be less violence orientated...given the whole story... just my view.
-
We would be glad to take you up into our ranks.
As for the violence issue, I can definitely appreciate peace and even support it. However in a world such as this I believe it to be foolishness for one to think they can have a bright future without getting any blood on their hands. Life can be cruel and those who show no strength or ability to defend themselves get pushed around and trampled by more powerful individuals. Not only by the many wild creatures but by your fellow men and women as well.
I also believe while our god is kind and forgiving he does not shy away from force if necissary. After all isn\'t he the one who created the glyphs, infused with potent spells? And isn\'t he our creator, the father of the Kran, a strong and sturdy race capable of defending itself?
There is no need to worry though, we are not out for blood. The only goal of the military and magical arm of our society would be to defend our brothers and sisters and prevent further bloodshed by those who worship dark gods.

*looks amazed
Although I\'m a Magic Mugs believer that speech almost made me think that Talad was actually as good as the Magic Mugs!
[size=0.1](Now, anyone that want\'s to make the same but with Laanx? I\'ll give 50 000k to who does that.)[/size]
I wish you and the Hands of Talad good luck!
-
Thats a very well planned guild..though I think talad should decide what his hand is/isnt. (joke) I also like your ranks...very unique.
Also, Lordbug: Give me 50,000 tria and I\'ll make the Feet of Laanx anyday.
-
Sadly our name has been taken from us and the Hand of Talad has been officially disbanded by the bureaucrats who now demand the rediculous fee of 20.000 trias.
They may steal our name but they cannot take our faith and our spirit. The Hand of Talad will be back one day and until then we \'ll live on in spirit.
Edit:
With some divine help, and that of a friendly stranger, I am relieved to say that we have enough fundings to restart the Hand of Talad. All we\'ll be needing now are 4 interested people who can gather at the same time.
Edit n?2:
Due to recent circumstances and mild pushing of my fellow players I \'ve decided to create a forum after all. Seeing that guilds definitely require off-game organisation to have a chance to survive I hope this will let us grow strong and worthy of our God. Go take a look on our new website, forum and chatroom.

nice... i just checked it out... i will try to be active... though this damn real life keeps getting in the way :(
-
Life can be that way indeed. We aren\'t very demanding on activity though, you don\'t need to be able to play for hours every day. As long as you are relatively active, contribute whenever you can and don\'t quit the guild without at least a few days notice (sadly required because of the new minimum 5 members rule) that is fine with me.
As soon as you \'ve signed up on our forums with your character\'s name I \'ll add him to the memberlist. You \'re also free to mail me one or more screenshots of him to add in our photo gallery.
At the moment our forum servers are undergoing upgrades and doing some massive backups though but we expect them to come back online by tomorrow.
-
Well it looks like religious people are harder to come by these days than I expected.
I \'ve even had more luck finding people who worshipped Laanx than those who believed in Talad but I refuse to accept that there are so few of us left.
Once again I call out to those faithful to our Ebony Lord, come and unite. Spread word of us throughout Yliakum!
