I'm just posting it here for criticism, suggestions, and approval.. plus i'm not a member of mavendorf's Rift site yet. I hope you like it Mavendorf, if not i have the un finished version saved so i can go back and change anything. Also this is the recruitment banner... u'll probably have to ask Shack how to implement it on your site

I like the banner, but I do have a wrench to throw into the works.....
How difficult would it be to have a possible guild name change?
The reason I ask is this, How many dragons (if any) are actually in the game?
I know I was the one to suggest using the lore of the game to come up with the name. But, I have not heard or read anything that there are actually dragons in the game....perhaps I am worng.
If possible I would like to suggest:
Seventh Riftstalker Brigade
Seventh Rift Sealer Brigade
With one of these names, or some variant, we could dedicate our guild to the purpose of conquering and sealing rifts. Overall objective being the completion of the Guild Quests.
If this requires restarting the guild, I would be happy to provide the 1 platinum piece to cover the cost.
I know that on the guildlaunch forums, it is possible to change the name. Or if need be to create a new one, since they are free.
Again, sorry for thinking of this now. I just feel that a name change might make our guild a bit more appealing, and it would be more appropriate ot our guild's potential activities in-game.

Changing the guild name would require disbanding the current guild and forming a new one

And....is that something you would consider? What do you think of the idea of changing it?

I'd rather not change it at this point, we've already invested a lot of time and effort in 2 guild quests

Blod, you really do seem to like making things more difficult sometimes.

Oh, it was just a suggestion. Considering the difficulty of it, which was unkown to me, I am obviously ok with the original name.

| Quote: | History
There have always been those who follow the will of the gods, and those who question them. While none denied the Vigil's part in the miracle of the Ward, certain individuals and groups did not believe this was the only, or even the correct solution to the problem of the Blood Storm. Nor, they maintained, did the gods who built the Ward deserve unquestioning loyalty. The Vigil promised their worshipers unmatched power, but still some refused, such as the Eth and the Bahmi of Rhaza’de. Thus the world was divided between those devoted to the gods, and those who seek power by other means.
The Dragonslayer Covenant was formed as an order of Telarans — primarily Eth and Bahmi — sworn to keeping watch over the Dragon Cults and preventing the Blood Storm Lords' release. Given the Covenant's embrace of Eth technology, none of the Vigil’s devoted races joined their initial ranks. Even after the Eth fell in the Convocation, the order persevered.
In the days preceding the Shade, the Dragonslayer Covenant uncovered evidence that Prince Aedraxis Mathos had been consorting with members of the Endless Court. Covenant leader Orphiel Farwind sent their most adept mage to warn Aedraxis's brother Zareph. With the calamity of the Mathosian Civil War, death and horror spread over the land in a choking cloud, and the Dragonslayers lost many of their greatest trying to defend the people of Telara. Orphiel's envoy, Asha Catari, died battling alongside Zareph and his generals.
The Covenant had been devastated, their numbers too far reduced to halt the continued devastation of the crumbling Ward. Mourning their loss, Orphiel took his remaining followers to join the survivors at Port Scion. As the people rebuilt, he began investigating the remains of Eth technology. While a general edict had gone out to destroy all records thereof, the Covenant had kept a few in their leaders' most private archives.
Orphiel spread the belief that this technology should rise again, desperate times calling for desperate measures. Aided by a few close confidantes, his idea reached more and more ears. Many Telarans felt as though the gods had abandoned them, and so the climate was ripe for change. Just as Orphiel's philosophy started to catch on, the first of the Ascendants returned to the Guardians.
With these holy warriors wielding divine power in defense of their world, most Telarans felt assured the gods had a plan to fight the Blood Storm once again. Others were not so certain. Having lost much of the support he had begun to build, Orphiel continued his pursuit of Eth technology. Even the other members of the Dragonslayer Covenant turned away from Orphiel, forcing him to leave Port Scion with his remaining followers. His studies led the small band of scholars to the Shadowlands, following rumors of preserved Eth machines. Before the fall of the Ethian Empire, a splinter group of Eth mages sought forbidden avenues to eternal life, and so their secret workshop survived the purge of the Convocation. Orphiel discovered their long-abandoned site and powered their machines back up, delighted to find that with only a little bit of tuning, they worked perfectly once again. Lost members returned to the Dragonslayer Covenant, beginning with reborn Ascendant Asha Catari. They have dedicated themselves to uncovering the technological secrets of the Ethian empire.[1]
Despite objections from the Ascendants of the gods, Zareph Mathos was open to utilizing both great powers, and cautiously sanctioned continued investigation into Eth technology. Since Zareph was lost in the fall of Port Scion, no leader has emerged to unite Telara's survivors, and the Guardians demanded an end to the use of sourcestone machines. Orphiel and his followers' refusal to comply caused a deep schism, pitting their faction against Cyril the Champion and his Guardians.
Establishing themselves within the tower of Meridian in Freemarch, these "Defiants" moved forward with their studies, devoted to creating their own line of defense for Telara. |
The Dragonslayers are DEFIANT to the bone!!! Defiant are not "evil" in the sense that Alliance are good, and Horde are Evil (in wow) The Defiant, which is actually slang for Dragonslayer, has its own ideas how they can save the world.
I for one believe that we hold this name. We get many compliments for a unique and creative name.
EDIT: There are currently no "dragons" in game. The dragons are what are causing the rifts, as they try to enter the world. The theory is that the dragons will be episodic bosses. sort of how the different bosses worked in WoW, with Regulos being the End all Be all of bosses. The Dragonslayers exist to stop the dragons from coming forth... and kill them when they do

Then it is good we have this name, because it will show that we are focued on the lore (which I used to suggest the name in the first place), and we are also focused on the epic battles that will be in the game.
Speaking of epic battles, we as a guild, sealed at least 4 rifts last night! In one rift I, along with of group of about 20, fought against a giant (elite mob)! It was an awesome battle that actually took at least 5 minutes to complete. For those that don't play, 20 vs 1, that last 5 or more minutes is EPIC!!
This game is awesome! I spent most of the night, hunting down rifts. I also fought in and ended two invasions. It was a great break for just running quests.
