Facts:
United We Stand is a rank 10 kinship and has it´s own kinship house(s) in the Bree Homesteads. The kinship is international with it´s player base mainly in Europe.
At the moment the kinship can thrive upon large amounts of resources. For example the kinship members themselves have put their houses and own kinship houses at the disposal of the kin. We also run weekly events to raise funds for the kinship which subsides our crafting and allows us to fund prizes in our lottery.
Social:
United We Stand kinship members come in all ages, sex and sizes. But of all things there are two very important components that define this kinship.
1. Friendship
The kinship was brought to life by three founders. They had been together in a kinship called United Kingdoms and even officers in that kin. Due to many different events, the loss of many good players and friends to other MMO´s and all around discontent with the situation, they decided to leave United Kingdoms and form something new. At this early stage nothing had been really planed or decided and so they found their new interim home in the kinship Wenches & Mead.
Founders Julie
Former officer of United Kingdoms, wannabe computer geek, doesn´t take herself too seriously and seems to have carried on as the wearer of high heels and general "Kin Mother". Otherwise also know as "Wench"
Mike
Fishing master, chaotic and generally the person to blame. Holder of the Wenches & Mead kinship and entrepreneur of great ideas.
Christian
Former officer of United Kingdoms, computer geek, German and Lord of the Rings Classes specialist.
2. United We Stand (motto)
The kinship name has been chosen since it fit best and is also the kinship motto. To learn more about this read the Charter.
The members:
No kinship can exist without members. The members of a kinship are the biggest asset a kinship has. This and more principles can be read in the Charter.
Since our members are the most important part of our kinship, we have decided to make everyone equal in rights. This was done by promoting all full members of the kinship to officers. Every member has the right to voice their opinion and put ideas forward to the whole of the member base.
All of our members are special and have been part of the Lord of the Rings Online since public beta. This means that the experience found within the kinship goes back all the way to 13th of February 2007. This knowledge is used in our everyday kinship events and can be anything beginning with crafting and ending with raiding. Every aspect of the game we can cater with extensiv knowledge and are happy to help newcomers or other players alike.
History:
How it all began:
Move from United Kingdoms to Wenches & Mead
Founding of United We Stand (is not the same date as the actually kin we have now )
deletion of United We Stand (in order to rename Amazing´s Kinship - which was rank 10)
rename of Amazing´s kinship to United We Stand
Move of all members to the new in place United We Stand
...and we have not looked back since!

May i just add though your motto is the same as we run riddles and it works really well so guys if your looking for a kin give UwS a go, this way of running a kin generally makes for a very happy and relaxed kin that is still able to get the job done as it where.
All the best to UwS from all of us at Riddles

As our First lady (Alydariel) said, reading your charter it is almost indentical to Riddles, and it proved working very well for us last 13-14 months, only we are 20-22 members since we raid a lot (every day)
Good luck with kin, just keep going and if you need help or advice be free to contact me
PS: Get more girls in kin (we have 7-8 girls ), and give them to be in charge like we did.

For now United We Stand has closed it's doors to recruitment. We are full
If you are still interested in joining us, then please do send us a message (ingame or here).
Once we open up again for further recruitment, we will definitely get in touch.
Harledir (United We Stand Kinship on Snowbourn) (retired LM)
United We Stand has grown in the past months. We now have around 18 active players and have become comepltely self sufficient, allowing us to raid and have fun.
Due to this we have generally closed recruitment.
With exception for 2 classes only, Burglar and Rune-keeper (main character) - which we are in need of.
So if you have a burglar or rune-keeper as a main, then please do get in touch with us

"Retired" LM? I did a roots run with you the other day
well......erm.....yes..
I keep him at end-game, but until there is more use for a lore-master again (like in good old Rift times) the he stays in the back
Harledir (United We Stand Kinship on Snowbourn) (retired LM)
We are looking for the player and not the character. As such we still need to focus on certain classes which are needed.
Main priority go to main characters with the classes: Burglar, Lore-master, Guardian/Warden
So if you are level 45+ and have one of these classes as your main, then feel free to send us a recruitment application
