Twilight Guilds Center (Registration Information & Updates)

[Royal]

Nestled within the bustling streets of the Twilight Market sits a small shop with a hanging placard that reads: Twilight Guilds.

As your feet meet the steps of the entry way your eyes catch sight of a notice beside the opened doors.
______________________________________________

Dueling for glory and riches can mean little when you're sitting alone at the top.
Do you wish to grow your influence?
Fight beside friends and allies?
Yes? Then a guild is for you!

Register within and have your guild officially recognized on Twilight Isle and the City of Rhydin!

What are the benefits of a guild?
The opportunities of joining a guild are up to the founding principals of their leader(s)! A guild is a likeminded community that strives for a common goal! Is it friendship? Domination? Riches? Its up to you to decide!

The Twilight Guild Center may also introduce Quests incentivizing guilds to face off against one another! These Quests may involve the dueling sports or something more!

Begin your guild journey today!

CURRENT QUEST
To the Victor(s) Go the Spoils

Twilight Guilds is a fun story-telling and team building device to allow players a chance to create more team experiences within the Roleplay Community. Dueling is not a requirement to create a guild and guilds could focus on other things instead of fighting! Guild registration is simple and below is the steps to create your own.

Registration
Registering your guild requires a reply to this post with the following:

___________________

Guild Name:
Founder & Second in Command:
Members:

___________________

Example
Guild Name: Deus ex Magika
Founder & Second in Command: Max Lager and Royal
Members: Mag Lager, Royal, Strawberry

We can't just leave it with that though.. There's one more important thing every guild needs — a banner!
Feel free to include a banner with your registration and it will be added along with your guild details in the registered guilds area below.

Only Guild Founders and their Second in Command can register more members to their guilds and may do so as follow up replies to this thread. Players may freely leave guilds, request to join others, or create their own in the thread as well!

Example
"Hi. I'd like to include Helea Alwin as a new member of Deus ex Magika!"

As stated above: Quests may be introduced that will reward prizes to participating guilds. Prizes will be given to the leaders of winning guild to be distributed as they see fit (Example: Silver Nobles, Special MVP Icons, etc) unless stated otherwise. These quests happen randomly.

Have fun and enjoy!

Guild Name: Steel Tiger Clan
Founder & Second in Command: Rachael Blackthorne, Gatito Lindo
Members (Minimum of 3): Rachael Blackthorne, Gatito Lindo, Mairead Harker, Salvador Delahada, Amaris, Kruger


Banner:


Guild Headquarters Location and Description:

A large steel and ironwood cabana with black and silver embroidered silk curtained sides resided on the sands within the Tiger Zodiac Zone. A perfect half-scale replica of the larger Stone Tiger statue located elsewhere on the Isle was crafted in expertly forged steel and stood to the left side of the cabana entrance. On the right side of the entrance, a black and silver banner with a steel colored embroidered tiger and the words Steel Tiger Clan embroidered in silver on the banner was suspended from a pole and fluttered gently in the breeze.

A recent addition to the area around the Steel Tiger statue is a pair of rose bushes, one of the Black Velvet variety and the other the Silver Shadow variety, that were blessed by a dryad to grow after Gatito Lindo made an offering to the Statue.

(Edited to add the recent addition to the setting description and Kruger to the roster.)

[Rachael Blackthorne]

Amaris is officially added to the roster of the Steel Tiger Clan.

[Lady Aikawa]

Guild Name: The Only Club
Founder & Second in Command: Kyoko Aikawa, Suki Oshiro
Members (Minimum of 3): Kyoko Aikawa, Suki Oshiro, Meru Yamane, Kaede Kamaya, Jin Takahashi

Banner:


Hierarchy:
Like most delinquent organizations from Kabuki Street, the Only Club is led by a sukeban (Kyoko Aikawa) and all external challenges are first faced by a gate guardian (Jin Takahashi). Recruitment, internal rank, and disputes are often resolved via combat.

Headquarters:
The Only Club is headquartered at an old Kabuki Street gas station, with its apartment and former garage and storefront all used for living space. The club members share the space with Bijou the hamster, Franklin the turtle, Little Taro the shiba, and Nibbles the cat. There are also fish, but Kyo can't be bothered to keep track of their names, so she's not putting them down.

Update to Guild registration:

Guilds can now be opened with a single member, the Guild Master, instead of a minimum of 3.

Interested in promoting your newly created guild? Post to the Twilight Isle cork!

(( OOC: While not stated prior there is no limit to alts one can have within a guild or in other guilds. ))

(( OOC Updates

Quest Post updated to include links to the next DoM and DoS tournaments.
Main Post updated to remove DoM-centric mentions. I wanted this to be something more open to both the City of Rhydin and Twilight Isle, so hopefully this explains it better on a first read. ))

[Royal]

Update to the "To the Victor(s) Go the Spoils" quest!

With the efforts put into the King of the Ring I've decided that payout will be granted as followed:

[Guild Member] 1st Mairead Harker - 15,000 Silver Nobles and Guild MVP Icon
[Unaffiliated] 1st Ebon Ilnaren - 15,000 Silver Nobles

[Guild Member] 3rd Rachael Blackthorne - 7,500 Silver Nobles (Given 2nd Place prize as Ebon and Mairead will be rewarded duo first place prizes)

Steel Tiger Clan is rewarded 7,500 Silver Nobles, this will be paid to Rachael Blackthorne to reward the guild in whatever way she wishes.

Though Unaffiliated, Michelle Montoya and Stitch will be rewarded the 10,000 and 5,000 silver noble prizes for their victory / placement in Diamond Quest CXIV.

The upcoming Archmage Tournament will offer the same payouts should non-guild affiliated participants take victory.
