Also, http://www.mortalonline.com might be something for you guys to follow.  I know you have some seriously die-hard pvpers over there.  They seem to have their stuff together alot more then DFO.

Anyway, good luck with the multi-gaming guild thing.

One question question, order or destruction?

 

I wouldn't say it would be our #2, I think we personally have something very special in the works for a future huge game ^^

The first part of our backstory has been made public so I feel I can share it here now with you all:
Chapter 1, The Magus

He awoke with a start, a cold sweat on his face. The images that had filled his head while he slept didn't disappear as he awoke. They swam through his head in a parody of a dream, images swirling and contorting, enough to drive one mad should he think about them too much. No, he admitted, this had not been just another dream, but a vision. A vision of the near future granted to him by his Dark God. The vision had also contained a message, though it had taken all his willpower to wrench it from the swirling mass of images. A cruel grin formed on his lips as he considered the message. It had been simple. A war was on the way, and he was to play a part.

He wondered, briefly, why he had been chosen to be blessed with this vision, but knew it was not time to worry about such petty nonsense. His God did not work in ways any mere mortal could possibly comprehend. Besides, he had to make his own plans.

Days passed in but the blink of an eye as he plotted his course. He poured over every last detail he could surmise from his vision as he drafted his plans for the coming war. The visions were not detailed, but rather painted things in broad strokes. To have delved any deeper, he was certain, would have broken his mind, twisting as much as they were. Only The Changer of Ways could understand these messages, embodied by Chaos as they were.

Finally his plans were complete. Now, he could set them in motion. He would need others to fight for him. He needed to gather an army.

The Magus left his tower and set out into the chaos wastes, searching for any and all that he could use to form his army. Only the strongest would do. He had to form an army that could survive the coming age. He used every method at his disposal to convince anyone and everyone whom he found worthy. At first, he promised glory, and power. Those who joined would find favor of The Changer of Ways, he promised. When this failed, he used blackmail, threatening them with the very secrets they held dear. If all else failed, the power of his magic and the anger of his God was usually enough to change their minds. Or they were left a smoldering husk, their sundered bodies adding to the desolate wasteland that they once called home.

In time, his army slowly, but surely, grew. While still small, those it employed were cunning and brutal. His Acolytes, as they came to be known, gathered at his tower, awaiting his next orders. They had heard of his vision and bowed to him as a Chosen of their Dark God.

Acolytes. He smiled at the name. He knew not who surmised the name, nor cared not, but he found it fitting. Yes, they were all acolytes to their great master, for when compared to the Wisdom and Knowledge of The Changer of Ways, a mortal was less than a mere insect, and so could but learn. Learn of his great plans for the world.

He was finally ready to begin his move, marching his Acolytes to the Empire, sending them to do his Dark Master’s bidding.

That night, however, he awoke again, the same, familiar, cold sweat beading down his face. He cursed under his breath for making a fool of himself, as he realized the folly of his own mistake. He had assumed he knew everything he needed to. Perhaps he did, at the time. He had not, however, known the true scope of the war in his vision.

This time, he had seen, vaguely, elf fighting elf as a dark armada from across the oceans lay siege to the white cities of their brethren. He had seen endless hordes of Greenskins flooding into the mountains over the bodies of countless Dwarfs. And the Hordes of Chaos, innumerable in number, laying waste to the cities of the Empire.

Normally, this would not concern him, had he not seen one, fatal, flaw. Though under siege by their mortal enemies, the forces of Order in the world were fighting back, and joining together as they were, had become powerful in their own right.

He looked out over the army he had gathered, and knew at once that it was not enough. He would have to gather others. He had an idea on how to do this, but he had to prepare.

It would take great concentration, and he would need to focus all his attention on it if he were to have a chance of succeeding. He couldn't be disturbed. Before he started, he appointed his best warriors to watch over the gathering flock. They would need tending to while he was working. The troops would need training in the arts of war and slaughter for the coming battles, and others would have to preach the greatness of their Master to the uninitiated. Yes, they would continue to grow, even while he wasn't watching. He took comfort in this as he began the next phase of his plan.[/QUOTE]

Also, the bridge to lead the backstory into the next part has been made public as well.
Interim, The Preparation

First, it was time to deal with the Greenskins, decided the Magus.

For this, he had a plan. He sent the best trackers in his Warband in search of one of the Greenskin, a Shaman. He had seen them in battle, and knew the power they wielded over their tribes. It was not a power of brute strength, like the Orcs that led the tribes. It was the power of words, and cunning, and the Magus liked this. He was sure he could corrupt their power for his own use.

While he waited on his hunters, he studied many dark ceremonies and spells of power and control until, at last, he was satisfied with his preparations.

His warriors returned shortly after with one of the green horde in their charge. A small goblin. A Shaman, just as ordered. He had it brought within his tower. Torturous screams could be heard for many days. Dark rituals and rights of such evil as should not be discussed were enacted as spells of manipulation and control were placed on the unwitting guest of the Dark Magus. When the rituals were finally complete, the unwitting pawn's memories of the event were destroyed, and the hunters were tasked with its return.[/quote]

i was a member of the Acolytes a long time ago for AoC  back in  Nov 06   but  i just stoped posting on the forums and such .. then decided to play WAR instead   then converted a bunch of my RL friends to play with me ...then saw you guys had a WAR branch...ohh well

We will definitely be on an RP server, but right now RP is all they have. If there are  Open RvR RP servers, we may go there but we have not decided just yet. We have a completely  different group of people running the WAR side than the AoC side though so  we might have different thoughts on what is best for us as a guild in terms of servers.
