I fail to see the points some seem to be trying to make here. If your concern really is to help the guild, you're wellcome though.
As a member of the guild, I want to elaborate on the guild seen from a members eyes.
When I first came to hydlaa, I noticed the town was very big, and I couldn't find my way around. I wandered about, and saw different people, each and everyone occupied in their doings. When I reached the arena, I was suddenly attacked by a gladiator [I double clicked by mistake or similar, not knowing what I was doing yet],
This gladiator sent me to another Realm. The kingdom of the dead. I wandered about there just as confused, and was about to loose hope, when I finally managed to ask someone if there was any hope, and he had the kindness to help me return to the world of the living. Back in Hydlaa, I stumpled on Harnquist, the smith. I always wanted to be a smith. My father was a smith and I was once apprentice by a blacksmith. Now, I asked some random people if they knew where i could find a job, and they suggested asking Sir Harnquist. Now, he might be a good smith, but his communicative skills are not exactly impressive.
To make a long story short ... I wandered about in darkness, fumbling around, stumpling over anything I didn't know. However, I had the luck to meet a member of the Torch of Yliakum.
The Torch of Yliakum to me, is like a light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness can not comprehend the light. I was given a weapon, and I was explained how to make progress in Hydlaa. How to seek teachers, where to hunt, where to sell my loot, how to earn money by mining, how to find my way in the wilderness. All this was done without asking me to join the guild or ask anything else from me. When I was finally asked to join the guild, I think I already had a glow in me, and I said yes as fast as I could! Then I was made glow in the guild, and now I am carrying the torch as well, and have to pass it on. I belive that everyone has a torch, only some have little or no light. I hope that sometimes I do manage to provide some light for them that still live in darkness, be it darkness of ignorance like myself, or darkness of evil.
It may be, that other guilds are just like the Torch. If so, that is great, and I hope they will turn to the embassy of our guild so we may help each other.
If the Torch keep spreading light over the land of Yliakum, there will be no darkness to allow evil of the kind that the murder of the very man that founded the guild represent.
Maybe what bothers you, is the simpleness of the concept of the guild. We spread light, period. You may call us silly "do good"'ers, but I think I speak not only for myself when I say that I as a member of the Torch of Yliakum have fun and enjoy spreading happiness, light and fun as much as I can.
