All you kindred of the Guard within reach of my voice, know that now is the time to gather within the Clearing. The season of change is upon the land, and so it is within the Guard. Tonight we welcome two new Pathfinders to the heart of the brotherhood, and three new Elders to the seats of its mind. Gather one and all to the Clearing, that we may welcome the new and celebrate the old. Stay and Nemesis, your presence is specifically requested, as is that of Romans, Laatho and Frosty.



Just as winter brings an end to the old so that the new may grow strong, so does renewing change come to the Guard. It is with this spirit that we welcome the two newest Pathfinders of the Sundered Guard Proper: Stay and Nemesis! Two outstanding members from our EQ2 and Vanguard/AoC Chapters, respectively.





December also marks the end of 2008's Elder Council, and the start of the 2009 Council. The guild's deepest thanks go to all the departing Elders, including:

-...

It was a very close race this year, but with Tanth withdrawing to take care of real life issues the Elder council was decided, as only 5 people were left in the running.

Frosty, Romans, and Laatho will step up as our new 2009 Elders, while Petrus and Voronwe will continue serving for another term.

The current Elders will continue serving until Dec. 21st when the official ceremony will take place. Until then Frosty, Romans, and Laatho are Elder Elects and will began learning what it takes to be an Elder.


Congratulations to all the Elders, and may you serve the Guard to your fullest ability.

Mama and baby are both doing well.

In an effort to give more of a face to the guard during our meetings and events I have been working on a side project. Many of you have noticed the Ultima Online thread at the bottom of the forums. I have been working on Aldalonde as a guild town in Ultima online. Currently we have the guildhall build, a Shrine to Milaia/Gaia docks to access the sea which we are on the coast of and Lourd Zeps tower. The game is free to play and you get your first house free.



The idea is that we hold our guild meetings there in character within Aldalonde itself. Also the ability to hold open RP and RP events on this server is easily done with full Admin support. I welcome you all to head town to http://www.thesunderedguard.com/glades/ ... php?t=9947

and read up on connecting.



I hope you can join us on Sylvan heart and that we can make this a prosperous location for Roleplay as well as guild meetings.



Talwin is behind the bar at the guild hall selling drinks and we have Felsigs forge blazing away crafting...

Once agian the old dwarf steps forth picking up each sack and spilling the stones placed within.

"The kindred of the Guard have spoken."

"Let me be the first to offer my congatulations to the both of you for your appointments as interm Elders. They shall both will serve until December 22 when the council of 2009 will take over the helm."

"May the next few months be full of smooth sailing and fare winds."

"Again, congratulations."
