Likely FoN will aid you, as they've stated their purpose is to defend Daeron and their allies in Melencia as well.

In fact, I am considering speaking with the leader of the Bethren, Ander Cain, in a possible friendship between the Bethren and TSS - provided si Cain and I can manage to put to rest our, ah, past differences ;-)
What differences? I was raiding, you were defending. No big deal. Like I said, I could have easily pked you if I wished, but that is not how the Brethren do things. I just let loose a few warning shots to scare you off.

Officially, the Brethren are neutral towards the Striders. There should be no reason for our members to attack you unless faction raiding is somehow involved.

As outlined to my open offer (in the Guild Discussion forum), I would hope that genuine friendship could be established between the Bethren and TSS - and thus by extension the establishment of friendship betwen the LA and TC (although I am by no means speaking of any formal alliance arrangements ... these things constitute matters that are, sadly, far removed from our current preoccupations and furthermore are best left in the hands of our respective faction leaders). Hence, raiding Melencia (by the Bethren) or Neversummer City (by TSS) would become a thing of the past ... That is, after all, what this simple ranger hopes for.

By your response, then, must I take it that you reject my humble offer of peace and genuine friendship, instead of maintaining the current state of non-commited neutrality?

It is my sincere hope, perhaps against all hope, that you will dwell further on my openly honest gesture of goodwill before rejecting it outright.

Best regards;

We aren't a faction based guild. The Brethren has characters from nearly every faction in the game; I think only MA is the only guild not represented in our guild at the moment.

We aren't opposed to raiding factions at all, since the factions have some of the better pieces of equipment in the game, and we do not oppose pking that is done while one defends their faction from attack, since raiding is supposed to be risky in the first place. So yes, we will likely raid Melencia (or any other city) if we feel like it, but we will not declare war on a faction based guild that foils any such attempts. Also, there are at least 2 characters in our guild who are in The Circle who certainly can oppose raids there if they occur. Beyond that, we are generally friendly towards other players in more neutral areas like Avendell or popular xping spots.

I know of this. One of the Bethren who is Tc has also joined us recently - however, without relinquishing his Bethren membership, something which I accept and respect.

While TSS is mostly TC-based, we are always open to accept any goodly folks who wish to protect all that is good in Aetheria, including its natural beauty.

My point all along has been, and shall always be, that goodly people of different factions need to see beyond this raiding mentality, need to grow past such evil activities, to achieve the greater goal of saving Aetheria ...

However, it would seem that too many people are not ready to undertake such a historic step which requires all the courage and nobility of soul one has ...

That is the true tragedy of this world, alas.

Wow, i've been working very hard over the last 4 day's and in such a short time Term's already "makeing freinds". Non the less, me and term have crossed paths before, ask kst, while my CE Drow mage defended NS city :roll: from Nominus Phasha for gawd knows how long, yeah may not have been within RP standards, but i still held Brethren law above my factions. Anyhow, this is nothing unusual for Term, be patient things will work out

Aye ... but perhaps it is for us to find such means? Thus, how can we achieve this if goodly folks and adventurers remain mired in non-commital neutrality, petty rivalries, or even evil raiding? (sigh)

I gotta tell ya, that'd be an anti-climatic and unanticipated end if all the factions declared a truce and lived happily ever after.

Oh ... I doubt all the factions would be able to do that. The Shadow Legion is overtly evil - hence it is not possible for, say TC or LA or NC to be at peace with them. However, there is a definite possibility (and mind you, just that: a possibility) for agreement between TC and LA, for example ...

1. I respect Nom for his (so far) pure-sorcerer, not cheesing it up with SD or Bard/rog like.....you knoww who (more than one)

2. I think if we could get the numbers up (and the server/bandwidth could handle 50+ players online), then the current 4 opposing forces can work itself out nicely .. but with so many new online rpgs comming out (D&DOnline, NWN2, Dragonage, etc..) it's hard to say if the numbers will go and stay up, and then there are guilds that span opposing factions...

I don't know how the faction system is setup, but would it be possible to basically flip a switch and alter alliances system-wide?? for example: Sleeth+SL+MA vs. NC+LA+TC+RK (since dorfs and elves/drow don't get along) -bascially- good vs. evil... Since the RK/Sleeth alliance is described as 'tenuous'.

I second that wholeheartedly. Or, at the very least, make it so that creatures do not attack opposing faction PCs while in party with a PC of their own faction (e.g. animals attacking Bethren members while in a party with one or even three TC members).
