Guild Charter:
Motto: One guild, filled with many visions, serving one purpose in seamless harmony.

—————————————————————————

Draugen is a guild about making new friends, and having high adventure with a strong focus on teamwork, desire, and commitment. We are an Eastern Time Zone based RvR, PvP, PvE, Raiding and Light RP Guild. We seek new friends that will play together and achieve together in a friendly casual atmosphere with a casual devotion and hardcoe attitude. We seek those with past MMO, PvP and Raiding experience. Light role-play is available to enhance the gaming atmosphere but, it is not “required” to be in character. We wish to achieve balance between all the styles of play but at or near “end game” the focus will lean toward PvP and Raiding. We thrive in consuming ALL content and will not necessarily race to the “end game” for “end games” sake. Despite our lofty goals we do not want The Draugen to feel like a job, it should feel like an adventure! Having fun is our primary concern, but as passionate gamers we will not live under another’s shadow.

—————————————————————————

The Focus:
Having fun and camaraderie is, and will always remain our number one priority. We will raise the bar and make new friends one member at a time. We strive to be your family out in the wilds of our games. We will remain committed to each other as brothers and sisters in all our endeavors; be it in the Slaughter, Adventure, Crafting, or Socializing. Each is as equally important as the other.

—————————————————————————

What We Seek:
Our success is only achievable by our members. We seek team players, friendly, helpful, committed, mature, and loyal. These individuals are selfless and strive to be “that” to all others. We seek those that can communicate their voice on all subjects good or bad in a respectable and approachable manor. We embrace those that wish to become brothers and sisters on the Quest of a life time where we depend upon and need the other. The lone wolf will find little comfort here!

True PvX

Draugen is a guild that prides itself on being wholly PvX and providing a great casual and hardcoe experience to all players. We do this by promoting leaders into each faculty of the gaming experience and giving them full responsibility over their respective areas. This grants the guild a very authentic experience in each field.

—————————————————————————

PvE: Lord Shamius is in charge of this division. Given his experience and expertise in the field, in combination with the work and help of Ascendant Nekros Parousia, there is no doubt that Draugen will one day be known for our monumental outcomes in the field of raiding and basic grouping. Throughout the game, they will be tasked with experimenting, learning, and eventually running groups for all dungeon material with a focus on end game progression raiding. We aim to accomplish high and are determined to do so successfully. In the past we have been known for great successes and seek to be a known name again.

—————————————————————————

PvP: There is currently no Lord of PvP, as it is something we know very little of. At the moment, the plan is to consider our PvP team as a Hireable Mercenary group. This group will be made up of elite player killers whose sole purpose in life will be raising the Ebonheart banner in victory over its foes. If a need should arise, they will be hireable by outside guilds or those looking for even the simplest of tasks to be accomplished in the contested zones. More information to come…

RP/Lore: Our blood, is our power.

Background: The Draugen is a guild based loosely of the Nordic mythologies in combination with Norse injection. Their rules and structure come from a background eerily similiar to the Companions of Skyrim with a tie to the Werewolf sect. Little is known as to whether or not the Draugen are, themselves, werewolves, however they take great pride in their bloodline and lineage and attrtibute their histories to that of the wolf. They believe that the most powerful force in all of Tamriel is in their blood, and that in their blood lies all of their power.

Backstory: Starting in 1E: The first of us, known as the Allfather (Agares’ forefather) came to this land long ago. When few men stood here and the Falmer still ruled. He was a simple man and still held to the old gods of Atmora, his ancestral home. But Skyrim was his home now and he intended to make the best of it.

He was with Ysgramor when men first landed in Tamriel (in what today we know as Winterhold/Windhelm). For he had served with him before on Atmora during the wars. These men had all come to this land for the same reason. They wished for peace… The struggles of Atmora, brother fighting brother, were wearing down these grey haired veterans. Skyrim was their chance at a new beginning. A place where a man’s destiny was his own, and a land that was filled with the promise of adventure. With this new hope in their hearts, the city of Saarthal was founded and our Allfather was cemented in history as one of the first men in Tamriel.

At first dealings with the elves where peaceful, even prosperous. But one day things changed. No one knows why the elves did it, some say they found a hidden power beneath the city, others that they were afraid Man would surpass Mer if left unchecked. Whatever the reason… Saarthal was burned and attacked. Our Allfather was there that day and lead a group of Warriors against the Elves. It was of no use, the elves outnumbered them and had caught them totally by surprise. And thus the Night Of Tears… the stories say that only Ysgramor and his two sons escaped, but the truth is often not as fantastic as the story. For many fled and even though few escaped… Ysgramor was not the only one. The Allfather, beaten and bloodied by the battle fled to the coastal islands north of Saarthal with a small group of warriors.

It wasn’t for sometime that Ysgramor returned with his 500 Companions, but when they did arrive the Allfather was quick to tie himself to them with his small group. Fore he wanted revenge. With the companions traveled our Allmother as well, not much is known about her. Always the mystic, it is said she was Skaal and worshiped the spirit of animals. She was a wild woman full of ice and fire. Soon after her arrival our Allfather and Allmother where married in the old way. Not much time was given for celebration fore there was revenge to be had

The Companions killed any elf they found and it did not take long for the Falmer to take notice. Once again Man and Mer were in conflict, but this time it was Man who were the aggressors. They would not be caught off guard again by these sneaky elves and would pay them back ten fold. During one of these battles, our history is unclear as to any specific one, our Allfather was gravely injured. In her attempt to rescue her husband the Allmother was injured as well and the two of them were captured.

After months of torture and isolation they where filled with hatred and rage for these damned elves, yet knew they were running out of time the Allmother prayed to the old gods of the wolf.. her prayer was answered, but not by the old gods… but a new one… One in the shape of a Large White Stag. This god had many names, but the one we are told is Hircine. He offered to save both her and her love, but his price was steep… a curse… nay a gift. They would be the First… the Mother and Father… of Werewolves. he promised her power, the power to save her love, escape, and have their revenge. So she accepted, and drank from his blood… The Allfather did the same. So the mother and father of us all where born. The Allfather and The Allmother.

They killed everyone of their Elf captors and proceeded to return to their brother and sisters in arms, The Companions. When they returned they learned that much had changed. Friends had died and people had all but forgotten them. the war with the Elves was still going on and there was no time for sadness. The Allfather went to Ysgramor and told him of what happened and offered his blood to him, telling him of the power that could be had. How they could crush their enemies with this new weapon if he only would embrace it. Ysgramor did not, he looked at them as traitors and said that their Gift was a trick by the elves and ordered them executed. Not everyone agreed with Ysgramor and a small rebellion ensued. Now not much is know about this battle for neither the Companions nor our own Historians say much about it. What we do know is that a handfull of men and women followed our Allfather and Allmother, and that the Allfather was once again greatly injured. He would die from his wounds sometime later and with his dying breath whispered to his wife. “In life I conquered, in death I persist, fore our blood is the power that strikes fear in the hearts of our enemies..” It was from this that we recieved our name… for the undead whom all fear would be our symbol.. for we are Draugen.

Little did the Allfather know that our Beloved Allmother was with child… And so his legacy written in the stone of time. For his blood would be passed from generation to generation leading the Draugen for the years to come as the Allfather (One who is born a Werewolf and descends from the Allfather himself).
