A young Paladin strides purposefully into the guild lobby, and posts an elegantly written parchment on the wall:
To all fair citizens of Norrath, we greet you! For a long time now, slowly, darkness has been spreading across these lands we love... and we as a people have turned a blind eye -- hoping the darkness was temporary. We cannot look away any longer.
We are House Illumine ~ And we call upon all those who would see Norrath shine brightly again to join with us, and aide us in sending every evil presence we find scurrying back into the dark places from whence they scuttled. If you walk the path of light, if your heart is true, then follow the beacon we have lit and join us.
And if you walk the path of darkness... if your heart is as black as pitch and cold as a Halas night, then consider this your notice. Your days of tyranny over the helpless and innocent of Norrath are over.
She eyes the parchment one more time, straightening it an imperceptible amount, then smiles at no one in particular and strides back out into the sunshine.

Hello! Sanjah and I have created this guild because we saw a need. Not *everyone* is level 75, and not everyone raids, and yes, there _are_ some roleplayers out there who are _not_ evil!

And there are people who believe that the stories we write are just as important as the stories we weave ingame. We could find no guild like that... and that brought us to create our own.
House Illumine is a good-aligned guild, centered around the Central and Eastern time zones. We strive to be a family -- to stick by each other through thick and thin -- and have fun doing it. We love to write, and our message boards will be very active. We know there are many players returning to EQ and to FV, and some that are brand new to both or either. We want there to be a place for them. It's no fun being in a guild where you're level 25 and everyone else is 70+.
We are a casual guild in the sense that you might just as easily find us tavern-hopping as hunting. Levels mean little to us, and we like to savor the atmosphere around us. We might go on a raid or two down the road, but that will definitely not be our focus. We will, however, offer our members opportunities to raid with other like guilds through the wonderful Candlelight Alliance.
We welcome all roleplayers to come and write stories with us, whether you are in our guild family or not. We simply ask that everyone read the forum rules first. We want to give the evil guilds some fun... because there must be balance. Conflict adds spice.
Please feel free to visit our home (link within sig) or seek out Faelian or Sanjah ingame. We look forward to speaking with you!
