Thema: Kinships on Laurelin v.3

Carrying on in the grand tradition first started by Elcyion, many moons ago, a list of the great and varied kinships of Laurelin....

Many will have arrived here from a great distance, travelling together over oceans, rivers and mountains. Others, will perhaps have formed afresh, in these new lands that we find ourselves, ready for adventure.

So could all who wish to, post their details below.

The list will be simple, divided into sections for single-race kinships and mixed kinships. If you have a website include it in your post so I can link to it if you want people to visit it. Each kinship in the list will also be linked to the corresponding post in the thread, so you can make your post as informative as you want.

THE WARBAND OF IMLADRIS

Goal :- To honour the Alliance of old between Elves and Men. The Kinship is based on Elven Lore but accepts exceptional candidates to their ranks from menkind in honour of the Alliance. (The kin is made of Elves (80%) and Men (20%) only)

Area of Operation :- Securing the borders of Imladris and tasks as directed by the Council of Imladris. The Kinship follows the laws and rules of the Elves in Imladris.

Background :- As the War raged and brave heroes fell to the onslaught of the enemy it seemed all, even Imladris which Men know as Rivendell, might be lost. Then in honour of the warbands that formed the stout heart and mailed fists of the Old Alliance of Elves and Men did Elladan, one of Lord Elrond's sons issue a commission. Form a great warband to honour the old Alliance of Elves and Men. Let Men know that in these darkening times they do not stand alone against the coming tide of shadow.

Khalis, Elisbeth, and Tagos took up that commission, and thus the Warband of Imladris was formed. And now The Warband of Imladris seeks to recruit more heroes from the races of Elves and Men.

The Warband is well established in Imladris (Rivendell) where they gather before embarking upon any task they have been given. They can often be found discussing future plans around the House of Lord Elrond or indeed enjoying the peacefulness that the Valley of Imladris offers still.

The Warband has good ties with the other major elven kinships and they all work together as part of the elven community.


Points of Contact:- Elisbeth (Tur), Khalis (Caun), Tagos (Caun).

Lux Arcana

Are you a casual but dedicated player looking for an established multi-game, European-based MMO guild? Below are some key facts about who we are:


Key Facts

Division established: October 2010
Server: Laurelin (EN RP)
Size: 30+ active members

Races: All races accepted
Focus: Fellowship & raiding content, crafting, minor role-playing
Time Zone: European (English speaking)
Hours per week: Less important as long as you contribute/get involved!
Ages/Outlook: 18+, mature, helpful, friendly and outgoing
Web Site: LuxArcana
Voicecomms: Recommended (we currently use Mumble)
Contacts in-game: Aurie (Joint Kin Leader), Faewynn (Joint Kin Leader), Pelleas (Recruitment Officer)


Objectives

Lux Arcana is a multi-game guild that was founded as a community for European MMO players with a "casual" but "dedicated" play style. By "casual" we mean players that have other commitments in real life such as their job, family or other interests, and whose play time may be fairly random. By "dedicated" we mean players that will immerse themselves fully in each game we play and give 100% to the guild. Please visit our website for further details about our history.

Objectives of Lux Arcana in LotRO are:

- To foster an active member base at all adventuring levels via an event "sign-up" system on our forums. Average number of events range from 2-5 per week.
- To gear up our members and progress through the available raiding content.
- To maintain a strong crafting community within the kin to help out fellow members and alts.
- To hold a role-playing kin meeting at the kinhall every 2-3 weeks to get together with fellow kinsmen/kinswomen in game.


Recruitment

We Accept

Adults (i.e. 18+) with a mature, friendly and outgoing attitude to life.

Casual but dedicated players who like to play hard when they can! Players used to grouping, contributing and getting involved in a guild. We are NOT a guild for solo players, unsocial players, selfish players or disrespectful players. You must be a team player.

Recruitment is currently open to players of any level.

Highly Desirable

Players that are creative or that have strong organisational skills. We want proactive members. Players that show a passion for the game, for helping fellow members and getting things done! In particular we need fighters, explorers, crafters and players willing to learn everything there is to know about this game.

As a relatively new kin to the world of Middle Earth in LotRO Lux Arcana has thoroughly enjoyed the content the game has had to offer so far and we are eager to explore the high-end content just as much. Therefore players who are level 50+ are also highly desirable.

Class Preferences

While we strongly believe that everyone should play the class they enjoy most, to ensure that grouping and raiding events are optimal we are highly in need of:

- Minstrels
- Rune Keepers
- Lore Master
- Guardians

However all classes are welcomed.

With the Rise of Isengard and the advent of 24 man raids we would be very interested in any and all classes of level 75 to bolster our raiding force.

Not Acceptable

Immature players. Players that whine, complain and do not accept guild policy. Players with negative attitudes, who are only out for themselves and whinge over not getting "their share" of battle loot. Aggressive or anti-social players. We do not tolerate l33t speak - proper English please! Keep trash talking to an absolute minimum - in character NOT personal!

For more information please check out our site at:

www.luxarcana.org/lotro

Baruk Khazad
Most know who we are and our kin site is at

http://baruk-khazad.mmoguildsites.com/

However, I know that this thread is traditional and all "but".. we may find that player maintained kin lists are not de rigeur on the Turbine forums.. and in fact when we have access to My.Lotro I understand we may be expected to create entries for our Kins in the MyLotro Wiki

Looking for a sociable, friendly, active, relaxed kinship?
The Wardens of the White Tree are a medium sized Life rank 8 Kinship(at least i think so...) - We have at least 10 members on most evenings, more at the weekends during the day.

We are medium RP, and treat say channels as IC, and others as OOC
If you want to join, or have any queries then please either send one of our Provosts a /tell (Trumble, Haldlas, Korlandril or Graedan) or visit our website at http://www.wotwt.mmoguildsites.com/

E Voronwë ("The Steadfast").

E Voronwë is, in short, a private online gaming community. We are a group of gaming enthusiasts who like to share the gaming experience with other like-minded people, sharing and helping each other while exploring the content of a game.

The story of EV started in The Lord of the Rings Online MMO as a kinship (guild) of the same name back in 2007. As people moved to other games we wanted to keep in touch even if games change and so the gaming community idea was hatched.

At the time of writing we are playing Lord of the Rings Online, Star Wars: The Old Republic and various other non-MMO games, such as Battlefield 3.

If you'd like to contact us, please drop an email at: info at evoronwe dot org.

Recruitment is strictly controlled to preserve the family community we have built over 4 years on Laurelin.

For more details contact one of our officers or visit our website.

What do we provide?
We are a group of friendly, social, helpfull and mature players. Most of us are casual players, not die-hard raiders. Though we have regular kin-runs. These can be either the classic instances or skirmish runs. Our main goal is to have fun while playing.
Once in a while we organise a learning skirmish, in those runs we learn new players how to act in a fellowship. Some of our older members use it to learn there class better because there is no rush or urge to complete the instance perfectly.
We have regular kin events, both rp or casual/out of character.
There is a lovely kinhouse, decorated with trophies collected by the kin with kinruns. We have a kinbank what is being used regular and can be get from by asking two persons.
Members can also use our forum.

What are we looking for?
We welcome both old (returning) players as new players of all levels, race and classes.
There is nothing special to be done if you like to join, expect logging in on a regular base and be active. We apreciate being socialy active, aswell as being helpfull.
