T.H.E is worldwide.....open 24/7 for ya to write. In time many return to the fold.....first it looks as if you will need to return to the land of your birth after serving.......so whilst ye serve and carry the HONOR us all into danger and battle.... May the GODS guide thee and bind thee.... Strength and HONOR brother... The power of T.H.E Empire is that its home is always with you eternally. By order of ZEUS... May MERCURY blind thy enemies sight... and give you the power of HADES retribution. As you walk with MARS on your journey.... know that ARTIMES and MINERVA will aide thee... and CERES and VESTA provide for thee. HERA and VENUS will support your quest... while APOLLO will assure that those that stood with you will be remembered forever.... for if anyone does forget the sacrifices you give... POSEIDON will not have mercy on thier souls.... Also....that is an interesting verse indeed.

*** Sits looking over table at Senator Rusty**** "Well Senator.....this would have been a snap aye?" comments Borg as he enjoys a pizza with Rusty "Indeed......perhaps next time the GODS send us information, we will use it wisely"; Senator of TRADES Rusty replies. "Here brother.....have another slice...another quest will be soon enough...you will need your strength."added Borg. *** Rusty nods and smiles as the two sip some ales and look down from Borg's mountain campsite above the Soulinite Ritual area***

The Terminal with Tom Hanks is hilarious.....he will win another few awards.......not sure on Oscar but some of the lessers for sure.

I see as I work on the guildstone tonight many names I have never met..... and in turn they have never met me. At the same time I am asked alot about the history of the guild and in turn many do enjoy hearing the answers to WHY IS THIS OR THAT etc in the guild or structure etc questions..... SO....... I will start this thread with the intent of answering questions about the guild history and/or structure. Perhaps some wish to know why something was created or designed or followed. The first question comes from Hudson....... "Why does Rattlehead's grave have an Anvil on it? To keep him in his grave?" No.....Rattlehead was the first EVER GM smith on Catskills shard of UO. It was Rattlehead and his charitable work in the wilds near the mountains far west of Trinsic and south of Destard that moved the GOD of METAL...VULCAN to position an anvil and small forge in the wild. If memory serves me......in Felucca this may still exist sitting in the grass near the east side of a mountain range. Players would mine and drag/drop ore to him at the forge where he would make whatever they needed from their ore or simply smelt it for them. His high level of skill meant they would not lose as much in the smelting process. They would then train with him at the forge since also back in those days you could LEARN by WATCHING (being in proximity of another skill occuring). He was a magnet for the realm smiths and miners. He was a great and HONORable man who led us in many adventures and he was my friend. Rattlehead eventually moved further into the realm wilderness and forged his own guild revolving around nature....now his spirit lives on the air, in the ground, in the ripples of the water and the fires of the mountains itself......he most likely still serves VULCAN in some manner as he always did. Post your questions brethren..... I will EDIT into your question the answer.

forgot a good point........ Start waking up 3 hrs before you need to be at work. 1hr to get rid of sandman 1hr to shower/dress/eat 1hr to get to work........REGARDLESS if it is less than an hour to drive.....being late is not good thing for noobs....your co workers will begin to make thier own lists in their minds about ya.....keep it a clean slate. So....when did you wake up today.....?
