Guild & Group Directory (Active)

Greetings Avatars! The purpose of this post is to keep an active alphabetical directory of current guilds in the game.

I will insert the date of the entry and 1 year following its insertion, it will be removed unless someone bumps the thread asking their date be refreshed (claiming still active) or info be altered. Hopefully this concept can be replaced by tech at some point, but for now, I'm happy to provide. I'll also be using this list to provide short spotlights of guilds throughout New Britannia -- hope you find this useful!

Guardians of the Silver Serpent
(updated 2020-2-6)
Our guild is primarily a hunting and adventure guild – although we support a huge range of activities across all facets, including questing, storytelling through player crafted quests, and even role-play (it’s pretty much “role-play lite” here, depending on the situation). We strive to stick to a set of core ideals. Chief among those are teamwork, respect for others, pride in our organization and doing our best to build a tradition of excellence. We strive to build a reputation of integrity and mutual respect, and it is through the efforts and honor of our individual members that our reputation continues to grow. Our home base is the Player Owned Town of Duanor. (Established 2020/11/14, PvE, Casual Role-play) || Contact @Raven Swiftbow

LAMP
(updated 2020-9-21)
Loose Association of Mercenaries & Privateers…and farmers, explorers, traders, dragon slayers, bards, role-players, animal tamers, rouges, bounty hunters, etc. - there was only so much room in the acronym. The core of LAMP consists of self-organized individuals and friends, coming together for community and good times. All the guild will ask of you is that you show up for anything you volunteer for - but if you just want to lone-wolf for a while, cool, nobody will complain that you are not “pulling your weight”. The goal is community and the option of group play, without being nailed down to a “correct” way to have fun or a role in the guild. Attitude is more important than AL level - be gracious to noobs, humble in victory, noble in defeat, helpful to strangers and guild-mates alike, and you’ll fit right in. || More Information || Map Location || Contact @Sorgin Txakal @Justiciar @Vermasis Echo

Woodsmen
(updated 2020-10-05)
First and foremost, this is considered a guild for new players, so it's considered an entry-level guild. We hope that our members move on to other guilds, once they get enough experience under their belt. The Woodsmen guild, as the name implies, comprises of people who live in the woods. However, the main goal of the guild is to connect those just starting their journey with others just starting their journey, to have fun, and to learn together. Our symbol is the black rose, not in connection with its meaning of death, but rather it's meaning of new beginnings and major change. In the arms we see a wooden circle with a decorative rose burned into the wood. This wood is fixtured onto a shield. Other symbols: The upward growing chart, upper center, represents positivity towards reaching our personal in-game goals, noting that we must start in a low place and grow to reach what it is we want. The top bar reaches the edge of the shield, indicating rising past the ceiling we place on ourselves, moving past our own restraints to succeed. The heads have gears inside, turning, indicating a new awareness of the game and the learning that takes place to reach an understanding of the game dynamics. Currently, the Woodsmen recruit around Solace Bridge Outskirts, with the vast majority of our incoming recruits in the beginning phase of their journey. This is an open invite group, meaning anyone that is a Woodsmen can invite you to be a Woodsmen. Just ask one of us! The guild is on the forum at The Cozy Wood Cabin. The guild is centered in the Solace Bridge Outskirts, has no current buildings, and social structure is diffused and lax... || More Information || Contact @Woodsmen​
