The Guild

1. Our Guild

1.1 Presentation

• History of Elders of Atys
The Elders of Atys is a guild coming from the Beta of the game, and rebuilt at the game release in September 2004, by two Focus Beta players, Dam and Axilis. We are based in Yrkanis, the great capital of the Matis people (our Guild Hall is here).
The blazon represents a white izam viewed from above, on a black background. The first idea was to call the guild the "Angels of Atys", but the word "angels" wasn't allowed back then (now it is).
[On October the 8th, 2005] we officially declared our Karavan position to a meeting with the King Yrkanis, the former Tryker Governor Still Wyler and the Kuild in Yrkanis.

• What is our stand towards the Factions?
KaravanOur guild is pro-Karavan. We do believe in what we see and witnessed. We think the Karavan is the right, all mighty faction to follow, as they are showing more actions towards us Homins, and helped us repopulate Atys, than the Kamis who seem to act more towards Nature, which is hostile to us at some point. Some of us also secretly hope to have access to their technologies and knowledge... Last, we do not tend to nourish a real worship to Jena.
We also have the Matis citizenship, as our guild is historically Matisian and based in Yrkanis. We allow you to stay neutral in these matters if you do not feel concerned by factions or politics matters.

• What YOU can expect from us
We don't pretend to be a big and powerful guild, we thus don't plan to grow too big or at a fast pace. We prefer to take our time to create tight links between our members so that you can more easily feel part of "our family". We also try to extend this friendship to our allies (the Legions and the Tears), what will help you find people ready to help out of the guild, when nobody from the guild can.

• What WE may expect from you
We are seeking friendly and polite members, with enough independence to be busy ingame without us behind them everytime. However, we are really present to answer your questions and provide you weapons and equipment when you need it. Basically, you can ask anything, provided you are patient enough to wait for our help (yes, because we also have an IG life...).


1.2 Rules

• How to behave
The Elders of Atys wish to remain respectful and respectable on the bark... Please follow these few rules and everything will be fine. :) Please have in mind that these rules are based on a roleplay context (the opposition of factions and their followers), their purpose is to bring some spice into your daily occupations on Atys. If you're not into diplomacy and such things, we offer you the option of remaining neutral.
1. Trust the Karavan and the Karavaneers (homins), work on your fame towards it through missions;
2. Avoid conflict with Kamists (homins) that would involve the guild, especially avoid exchanging with the extremist ones (you will learn soon enough who they are);
3. Avoid conflict with the Zoraï and Fyros peoples (this may change in the future);
4. Be friendly with most Matis and Tryker guilds;
5. Stay independent regarding Matis/King Yrkanis orders (aka "follow" him, but you can also refuse to). Why? The guild is pro-Matis, but we have many neutrals too, who have the right to disagree at some point.
Also, please note that "avoid" doesn't mean "it's forbidden". You can obviously have friends amongst any other side. Just keep in mind that on the battlefield, in a Faction vs Faction war (FvF) or a Guild vs Guild conflict (GvG), you may have to fight against them, or you couldn't help them.

• More trivial information

Basics:
- Drop a "hello" in the guildchat whenever you log into the game, and "bye" when you quit (if not, we won't know that you are here);
- Log regularly enough for us to remember you. :p

What we provide:
- Friendship / fun / silly / interesting chitchat;
- Help understanding the game, levelling (if asked), leading treks through the world;
- Armour, weapons (we have some crafters inside the guild & the alliance), dappers and ammo at some point;
- Other surprises. :)

Most importantly, have *fun* on Atys, don't forget "it's just a game" and take part in the Saga of Ryzom! Roleplaying is fun too! \o/


1.3 How to apply

We usually invite new members ourselves, after a little chat IG with them.

As of May 2010, the guild doesn't recruit anymore. The guild remains but is dormant until further notice.

2. Our Alliance

2.1 Presentation

The alliance follows roughly the same rules as the guild, and trusts the Karavan. Three old guilds, with members sharing an old frienship, decided to form an alliance to cristallize this friendship, to be stronger, and to be more present on Atys. We all became closer after a looong meeting [early in September 2005] in the bar of Yrkanis.
Many thanks to Millya, our ambassador, who worked hard on this project to give life to a true alliance.
