The following is a message from Balthazar, leader of The Knights of The Nine, to the Valkyon Allied Forces Commander Seir.

Lord commander, I apologize for the state of disrepair that our order is in. As you know, many of our battle brothers accompanied the first expedition to the Island of Dawn, and we have yet to determine their fates... I ask that should you uncover anything before we do, that you give them the help they deserve, whether it be a warm meal... or a proper burial...

My comrades and I will go about rebuilding our order, and I will contact you again when we are at fighting strength once more. May the grace of Velik shine upon you, and all you care about.

Your humble servant,
Balthazar.

About us: Greetings everyone. Our guild is comprised of a group of friends and I, who were excited to be a part of this amazing game, and the extraordinary community of Celestial Hills. We are all 18 years old, for those who seek similarly aged guild mates. My character, Balthazar, is the current guild leader, and my friends serve as my circle of advisers.

We are a PVE Role playing guild on the Celestial Hills server, and are accepting all who wish to join us with open arms. As we are just starting out, our plans for the future are not yet set in stone, but my friends and I will be doing everything within our power to forge strong relationships with the other guilds of the server, in the hopes that we are able to create close friends, and friendly rivalries.

We shall be creating events and competitions monthly, at the very least. These competitions will have two parts to them: inner-guild competition, and outsider competition. What this means is that we shall judge how our own guild members perform in the competition with extra scrutiny, and the most promising member shall be rewarded with either a promotion, or a spot on my circle of advisers.

The circle of advisers shall all have a set task that they shall handle, with new tasks being created as its numbers increase.

Our current ranks are as follows:
Guild Leader(1): Balthazar
Tasks: Managing the guild on a day to day basis, diplomatic relations with other guilds/leaders, final authority on any decisions proposed by the Advisers.
Circle of Advisers(5): Character names forthcoming.
Tasks:
Arms Master - Our master crafter, in charge of creating the finest weapons and armor for use in the guild.
Battle Master - In charge of raiding, pvp, and setting up expeditions for dungeons.
Lore Master - In charge of noting our valorous deeds, as well as our epic fails, so that we may learn from our past and seek to better ourselves.
Recruit Master - Provides helpful advice and tips to new recruits, assists in training them when at all possible.
Treasurer - In charge of all guild funds. (Only the funds within the guild bank.)

Currently, these jobs are on a temporary basis and apt to change based on how the Advisers handle them.

If you would like to join us, and experience as much of what Tera has to offer as you can, with the company of friendly and helpful members, while also role playing with like-minded individuals, then please create an app in the following format:

A brief description of your character (How do they think/act):
And most importantly, what you'd like to see our guild accomplish in the future:

I look forward to reading the plethora of applications I hope to receive, and I shall await the chance when I am able to play alongside you all as battle brothers/sisters.

By the Nine Divines, join this guild!

Because we had been unsatisfied with out previous guild name, we created a new guild, one which we find to be... Divine.
*chuckles quietly, sitting down to await the arrival of new recruits*

((This is in relation to the events of yesterday's tournament))

After many long nights discussing the tournament with my advisers, we had decided that only one of us should go to represent the guild at The Order of the Bloodied Thorn's event. I had the most experience in the matter, and I was the best equipped, so it was I who attended.

I wanted to once again pass along my gratitude to each individual who cheered for me, and congratulated me. It was... well, heart warming.

((I had gotten into the rp servers late in WoW... nobody was kind there... seriously, thank you everybody. You were all incredibly kind, and a testament to this server's community.))

To my two opponents that I faced: Should you see this, please get into contact with me. I'd be more than happy to fight with you once more, or even better, to fight alongside of you. Our bracket was small, but you both put up an amazing fight. Thank you for giving me the honor of dueling with you.

I hope that with this victory, I will have gained a small amount of notoriety for the Knights of The Nine.

This offer extends to any and all of those who fought, or watched the fights yesterday. Whether you're in a guild or not, call on us at any time and we will do everything in our power to assist you. We are a small order, but we will fight until we draw out last breath.

-Balthazar

*Amberlena sat down behind her desk and proceeded to write down the nights events, tending a few of her own wounds from dueling those that challenged her. Sitting back she kicked her feet up onto her desk and leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes she sighed finally able to relax*

So, the ones to watch are starting to show their colors...

*she smiled lightly as she whispered the names of the ones to watch for*

*coughs and nudges this to the front, whistling nonchalantly as he walks away*

*Continues to observe from the shadows, disappointed to have lost his wager on the tournament.*

*Grins*

Though I remember little of my past the future may be...interesting.

*Fades as spectators turn in his direction.*

*feels somewhat bad that he made somebody lose money*

*briefly wonders if the worship of Talos is illegal in Velika*

**bumps an allied guilds post for them...reads above and has her archers shoot him in the knee**
