Hi Dril, glad to hear you, finally, read our webpage. Well the idea of Spellswords are that they are Fighter/mages but I take it you have read the description (if not than blo*dy well do so I don\'t write stuff for the hell of it you know! ;( X( ). Anyway here it is:
Our elite Spellsword. The Term \"Holy\" should not be understood as \"good\" but rather as having devoted oneself to a cause (like nuns and abbots to the faith of the Catholic Church). These Spellswords have improved their fighting abilities and have gained much experience in battle, both offensively and defensively. They have defended and attacked for the sake of the Order and have proven themselves brave and reliable. On them rests the physical survival of the Order in a hostile world. They are the crack troops and commanding officers of the Arcane Order \"Army\". Apart from this they have progressed in their magical abilities, learned more spells and devoted themselves closer to their chosen Way(s) of magic.
Xalthar is right we have a minimum 3 week (real life time) period of being an apprentice. This is mostly for the other members (council as well as other ranks) to suss out the applicant. It is important for us that we all get along and like each other (I like your humor, that helps :grins).
Furthermore, we look for and appreciate enthusiasm and commitment, a guild is only as good and involved as its members and their ability to work together. After the mandatory 3 week try-out period the sky is (almost - council seats are taken) the limit. We have an apprentice at the moment who aims for the Arcane Warlock position and will most likely attain it. The positions for Arcane Nightblade (might suit your rougish smile ) and Arcane Spellsword are still open and we are recruiting for them. A Krahn might be a very good choice due to it\'s physical strength and resistance to magic as said before.
An important point to consider, we have a very co-operative spirit and structure in AO. There is no one leader, we have a council of 6 and decisions are made by majority vote (consensus wherever possible). Also positions are held due to leadership and continued involvement and dedication, i.e. an Arcane leader might well be voted out of that position if found wanting by members in his/her division and the council (final decision making power lies with council but member views and petition(s) will be strongly considered). Council seats can only be vacated or replaced by the council itself but even those seats are not held for life if commitment, co-operation and loyalty is found wanting.
So not only new members are evaluated but all members are evaluated collectively all the time. That is how we intend to remain dynamic and make a difference in Yliakum. If you like and can live with these principles and modes of operation we would be happy to invite you in as new member and apprentice. Just go to the site and register, the rest happens automatically.
Hope that did not wring your Krahn brain too much . Hope to (finally) see you there soon.
Regards
