Earthdawn

Welcome to the Guild Earthdawn.
==The name==
The Guild was named after a high fantasy Pen'n'Paper RPG. If you like information on the game check out the Earthdawn-Wiki http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthdawn (please note: this is the german Wiki on Earthdawn, the English contains far less info at the moment). As we - the founders and core members - are very fond of this game, we named a lot of our characters after more or less famous characters from this RPG. 
==The leaders==
The Guild's leader is Twiceborn (Xelor, Lvl 110+; German). There are 3 other people taking care of leading and organizing the Guild, these are Shaniquia (Sadida, Lvl 100+; German) and Vallusa (Sadida, Lvl 140+; German).
One of our first members and long time leaders, polmo (Iop, Lvl +100; French), unfortunately quitted playing. If he ever returns, we would welcome him back.

Later in the history of the game, after the war with Thera and the fall of Skypoint, Twiceborn is considered a demon, ruling the Necropolis in the ruins of Vrontok. As Twiceborn is but a puppet of some invisible demons controlling her, she is immortal as long as these demons exist, for her controllers will always resurrect their puppet.

==Long time members==
Aside from some alternative characters of the core members, long time members - some with excurses in other Guilds or longer absence from the game - are Pz-Peter, Incredible-Ulk and Lizz. 
The members are from different countries all across Europe (Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, France,....) and other continents (America, Australia). 
==Language==
We enjoy to be multilingual and multicultural! Every language may be used in Guild chat, however we would kindly ask all members to switch to English as soon as another Guild member asks for it. 
==Rules==
The Guild was founded by older players mainly to have a opportunity to chat and get together, furtehrmore to enjoy benefits like a coomon house an Paddock, so rules aren't too strict. Mature players (20+) are welcome, however younger players are welcome as well. Having jobs, family and other time consuming activities in real life, many of the members are active only n the late afternoon (European time) and evening or in the weekend. Some members are rather inactive from time to time. Inactivity is tolerated to a certain degree, yet being incative for more than 2 months will lead to a change in rank to "Reservist" and only the rights to "modify own XP" will remain. Inactive members will immediately regain their former status upon becoming active again. Members automatically removed after 3 months of inactivity will always be reinvited. Basically, the Guild motto is "Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.", meaning who asks for help will get it.
What is important for us....
* be always kind to other members and help each other!!!
* speak at least basic English
* no names like xX-I'mthehypercoolest-insertclass-Xx or offending names
* no aggression of Guild members with other alignment (if you BOTH AGREE to have a duel, that's fine)
* no insults, racism, sexism etc. in the Guild chat! 
* no misuse of granted rights (like e.g. setting XP on 90% without the person agreeing or stealing breeding items)
What is not important for us....
* Lvl doesn't matter - we all started at Lvl 1
* P2P or F2P (we prefer P2P, otherwise participation in Dungeon runs etc. may be difficult)
* nationality / time zone
* inactivity

:A few words on the Rights
::DOFUS is a game and games should be fun! Our members won't be restrained too much in their rights, it is quite easy to get a lot of rights in this Guild. However, we rely on our members not misusing their rights to annoy other members! If we spot members stealing from the Paddock or changing other members XP donation "for fun", they will loose these rights or eventually get banned.
