Xaris kai Aletheia

A Christian Kinship on Silverlode

Website: http://xaris.guildportal.com/

Loreboook: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Xaris_kai_Aletheia

Xaris kai Aletheia (ka-ris kai al-ay-thee-a) (Grace and Truth) exists simply to have fun and fellowship in a good, Christian environment, where we can organize activities and work together for the benefit of one another and be an example to those on the outside of what Christ has done in our lives.

XkA was founded on day one of the LOTRO open beta. We've experienced consistent growth since that time and we continue to accept applications and recruits from Christians or those who want to hang out with them.

XKA is a great kinship, and I've been one of the members since 2007 (Few months after release) and it has grown by a huge amount since then.

We are by no means a "raiding" kin, but we do want to be able to see all the content. So for those that are curious... we normally we run 2-4 Turtle runs a week, and have a weekly attempt at the watcher (we get closer each time, and always make it into phase 3 now )

I would say the majority of members in our kin are casual, but we get a lot done too. There always seems to be something going on when I get on. PvMP, instances, book quests, and every once in a while a good game of freeze tag.

I hope others on the server have good experiences with XKA, and we always welcome others who want to join our kin on our adventures.

Take care, and happy hunting
Eruryn / Neathin

I know this isn't a big deal to many kins out there, but XKA downed the watcher tonight and no we didn't bug out the tents.

I just wanted to say grats to everyone.

Thanks to our 2 guests:
Cirgurthsil
Senkles

XKA members:
Belladana
Jalesa
Xalt
Shandor
Darrus
Horntel
Paxornath
Leviticis
Ishbal
Eruryn

Woot, love the housing pool

Take care,
Eruryn / Neathin

Congrats guys

More people have been joining the kin lately which is great. Glad to have new friends to run around Middle Earth with .

We're still going strong. Over 100 active members with over 350 toons.

Just a quick bump for the XKA folk. I've always enjoyed running with you folks, whether it's doing some quests or pvp. Always a good time and good players too!

Thanks! I would just caution you about one of our members his name is Shandor and is a total nub in the moors. Word on the street is he got a new Wii and hasn't been in Middle earth much so if you see him online be sure to spam him...lol

Taking you long enough I have 2 toons that are that, Working on my 3rd.

Yea, I was busy with holidays (and my new Wii) then when I was ready to start leveling again, my video card broke and remained that way for awhile

All fixed now though!

Just wanted to give a shout out to a great kin, and especially to Levi, Essi, Jalesa, and even Virdoc!

Not gonna lie, Xaris is a great kin. I people in it are awesome, and they are definitely determined when it comes to instances and raids. When I went into that watcher run, I didn't think it was going to go so well, what with past experiences going bad, but it went surprisingly well. Good job, XkA =)

I've been with them about three months now, I've been given so much help, advice, info, and just a great reason to enjoy the game! Thanks XkA!
This is such an awesome kin!

-1 rep for not putting me or Ishbal in that list! >>:3

This kin has made my game experience mo betta. Ish was left off the list because he is a gnome. His main responsibilty is tending to the kinhouse gardens.

Aww where is the love!?!?! Without my awesome gnome powers of garden tending and cheap-travel finding you would all be stuck with a smelly cave of a kinhouse and unable to leave!!

*tet sheds giant crok tears*

We downed the watcher... and I wasn't there.

Well Xalt got the last of his 2 pieces so he doesn't need to bring his LM anymore, so you can bring yours and fight me for the coins. 2 DPS traited lm's has been working fine for the fight.

Hello Grace & Truth,
I am a former player From Brandywine server, where i have 2 LvL 50's. I have been away from Lotro for about 2 years due to RL issues. As I made my way back into my original Kinship, I noticed A drastic change in the member base. It seems that the casual, laid back, FUN, & helpful kinship I left, has become a hardcore raiding and grindfest kin. Most of the people I knew have left or quit playing Lotro.
I am 37, Married/w children, My wife also loves Lotro and will play again when we can get our 2nd computer fixed & upgraded. I have started a few characters on this server, i have a LvL 43 warden, a LvL 25 Burg. and a 17 captian that I have 97% solo'd all three. I love the game, but I am missing the social aspects, and the fun times that come with playing with other good people, also with people who understand RL must come first. I have done some reading of this forum and your guild portal website, this seems like a very close knit fun group of people. I also Love the fact that this Kinship is Christian Based.
I see your kniship from time to time around Middle earth, and was wondering, if your kinship would be interested in an old vet/new player such as myself?
Please send me a PM or a /tell in game! Thanks for your time!

Awesome! were always looking for new players! Have you posted on XKA guildportal site? That's the best way, besides in-game chat.

*smiles broadly* welcome to the club, I'll welcome you properly someday soon! Watch for an well groomed Lore-master followed by a fat raven.

You almost sound like our median player!

Welcome aboard :-)

Hello folks, we are still a very active kin even during this relatively "slow" time in LoTRO as we eagerly are waiting for some new content to be released. Last night I counted 20+ kin members on. We had a full group who ran through Urugarth to get a few class items and several people who were working on alts and a couple groups doing DG instances. We are also fairly active in the moors, mostly freep side these days to try and balance the numbers, not that we have any luck out there but its fun none the less running with kin groups

If you are looking for a laid back family friendly kinship to be apart of check us out. If you have any questions please ask.

I was told we need more Gnomes...yes more GNOMES......

XKA is still very active. Last night we had two full kin SG groups running along with others in the moors and quite a few leveling up.

Also welcome to all the new members who have joined.

Change that we need more hobbits...yes many more tasty, Hobbitess....yes yes. The Gnoome can watch them.

Hey everyone, haven't posted in a while so I thought I would drop in and say that XKA is still accepting new members. We are a great laid back kin for casual players to the not-so-casual

Had a great time a couple weeks ago running through the whole Rift just to get some meta deeds done I love that raid, and was specially fun since most of us brought alts that had never done it before.

Anyways, take care and see ya in-game

Jason (Eruryn, Erurryn, Neathin, Tegalad)

Hey Digel,

You do not have to be a Christian to join XKA, but you must follow our member conduct policy.

Check out our website xaris.guildportal.com and read up . If you like what you see then fill out an application and we will send you an invite.

See ya in-game

I've had the pleasure of grouping with several of your members in a couple BG raids recently. It seems to me like XKA is a good group of folks. Welcoming and fun to game with.

Been a while since I posted, but even so we have had a ton of new members join recently. Glad to see all the new faces.

If anyone is interested in joining, check out our website. Our members range from the extremely casual to others who raid multiple nights a week. Also you can normally find a few of us in the moors

Happy hunting everyone,

We are constantly looking for players interested in a mature, family oriented kinship. To join, fill out an app on our website and look for an officer in the xka user channel (/joinchannel xka).

I'm a Christian, I'm a new player, I want to join.

God bless!
