Kinships of Landroval

From Lotro-Wiki.com

Landroval

• Aiya Earendil - Aiya Earendil is an Elf-Only, lore based, heavy RP kinship specialized in Elvish RP. Our goal is for members to have a true immersive experience of Middle Earth, based upon the books of J.R.R. Tolkien. This goal shall be achieved by RP events, gatherings, questing, etc. Our only mandatory rule is that members stay true to the lore of Tolkien's world, this is to do it justice and avoid doing it harm. All RP within these large bounds is very much welcome.

• Axes and Ales - Axes and Ales is a Dwarf only kinship ((on the Landroval server)). Its focus is fun and fighting on all levels within Middle-Earth. The members within are not those who are petty or sympathize with the likes of the Dourhands. Although kin membership is restricted to Dwarves, the members of Axes and Ales often join in with others of other races as well on occasions when either axes or ales are an understood requirement.

• Band of Hope - Band of Hope is a mature, family-friendly Christian guild. We have a strong player-base of active and experienced guild members. We encourage role-playing, but by no means do we require it to participate in our activities. Like other successful guilds on Landroval we do many things well, including raiding, questing together, and PvMP. Fare thee well friends and Christ be with you.

• Blades of Anárion - We are a mature and casual kinship with a very simple and precise goal. Our mission is to provide a kinship for friendly, mature and like-minded individuals who enjoy the classical fantasy/Lord of the Rings culture. We inherit a light-RP attitude to keep ourselves indulged within the context of lore, at the same time share experiences, stories and friendships outside of the realm. Music, life, folk-lore, battle, camaraderie, brotherhood, are characteristics we all enjoy. If you enjoy these as well, consider fighting alongside our ranks in the Blades of Anárion.

• Caveat Angmarim - We are fun, mature, dedicated and intelligent people to add to our Kinship. We have a wide variety of time zones, levels, classes and professions. It seems that we do not role playing too much, but if you did it wouldn't be frowned upon. Mostly we are in this Kinship for the community that comes along with it through questing, crafting for each other, trading with each other or just chatting amongst ourselves. If our interests are similar to yours please seek us out. Take care.

• Dark Warriors of Valor - Dark Warriors of Valor (DwV) is a guild on Landroval in Lord of the Rings Online. Our goal is to become one of the best known and most well respected high end guilds on this server. We seek those who wish to experience the higher end content of this game, and carry themselves with integrity through it all. Most of our founding members have been together for over 3 years in other games. Though our goal is indeed to raid and conquer much of the higher end content in this game, our biggest pride will be in who we are as a guild. Skill, knowledge of one’s class, and other such aspects are an important part of being in this guild, more important is character of the player. We want every member of the guild to have fun and enjoy themselves, with this we also expect our members to not only work together well in groups or raids, but also in just every day play time. The biggest help and support we can gain will be from each other. Helping to further each and every member individually helps us as a whole and makes each and every person in Dark Warriors of Valor (DwV) feel that they are a part of us.

• Deathgods - Hello we are a nice kinship, who are very supportive of each other, we are not an RP kin but we arent completly against/opposed to it(also some of our members like to RP alot). Our leader is Thorvail a dwarf guardian, he is very dedicated to helping the kin and its members like many of us. Second in command are Banesblood and Tarlasion, we have about 100 members but most of them are alts of our main members. Our goal is to be what a kin is supposed to be aiming at helping eachother with whatever they need be it crafting, low level questing, high level questing, end game things, raids. our leader Thor has also started to do classes in which groups of our kin form and help each other with questing, explaning how things work, useful techniques and such.

East Eriador Trading Company will also provide a friendly trading environment for the sharing of recipes, materials, and advice for those who are in our Kinship, as well as provide services for those of other guilds or individuals needing skill work they do not possess.

• Edge - Established on the Landroval server, our motto is "real life comes first" and we stand very strongly by that. We know (or at least hope) there is a life outside the game so nothing is ever considered mandatory. Our play style is casual, non-to-lite RP. While we like end-game content (our 50s raid at least half the week) we believe that the journey there is just as fun! Edge has ALL the amenities of an established kinship that's been around since beta, including house, mail, auctions, active high-level players, GMs, camaraderie, and pipeweed and ale in abundance! We are currently on the lookout for mature (18+) active members interested in enjoying the game at their own pace, while being a part of a community that helps each other out.

• Guardians of Vilya - "GoV" as we call it, is a kinship of mature players who have the ability to enjoy all facets of LotRO, yet still keep a casual nature about them. We are strong-rooted within the Landroval community and have been around since the early days of this great game's beginning. If you have a desire to be a part of something that is more than just a raiding kin, or RP kin, Guardians of Vilya could be the place for you! We hope to hear from any and all perspective recruits, that wish to be a part of something grand.

• Hearthkin SocietyDark times have come to Middle-Earth. The roads once widely traveled, are no longer safe for travel. Bandits gather thick as flies around Bree-Town, and Moria, once a work of Dwarven pride, now sits in the hands of foul Orcs and Goblinkin. Through strength of arms, and superior crafting, the Hearthkin Society is looking to rebuild the glory and heritage of the Free-Peoples! We have opened trade trade with the Dwarves of Moria, as well as the Elves of Rivendell! Now is the time to band together. Now is the time to stand up and fight the darkness! The HearthKin Society is a Rank 7 Kinship. We are causal to medium role players who enjoy doing many player run events. We are very active, looking for other mature active players who are looking to have more than a hack and slash experience in Lotro. Our player run events run the gambit from Hide and Seekers, Scavenger hunts, to races, carnivals and parties. If your looking for an active and fun Kinship, leave a message on our 'Recruitment' forum, or contact Adiss!

Very helpful members, although not a large kinship so far. We are based on the idea that the legendary names of middle earth are grouping together in an effort to stop the shadow of angmar, and eventually sauron, once and for all.

While we are not a "strict" role-playing kinship, we do count a fair number of role-players among our ranks, and consider in-character role-playing to be an important part of who we are. While role-playing is not required, if you chose to do so you will find a very RP-friendly environment here.

It will not love the hand it serves, neither will it abide with you long."(Melian, The Silmarillion) Our kinship is named in honor of Turin Turambar who was known simply by the weapon he carried and embodied. Named "Mormegil," or Black Sword, by the Elves of Beleriand for his fearsome prowess in battle and complete dedication to driving back his foes, we seek to follow Turin's example and battle the forces of Sauron relentlessly with a select group of dedicated companions.

• Oakleaf Order - In the years during the initial rise of Sauron, the leaders of men, elf, and dwarf forged a secret society analagous to but separate from the rangers. Their mission was a simple one: To use the best and brightest to run missions, perform reconnaissance, and lead the armies of the free peoples in any necessary conflict. They have continued to perform their duties, unknown to the majority of the masses, even to this day. It is said that a member can be identified by the shining bronze or silver oakleaf necklace that adorns their necks at all times. The Oakleaf Order is an Oceanic kinship with focus on community and heavy roleplay while achieving personal goals and questing needs.

• Seven Stars - Our purpose is to offer an RP home to players who enjoy all types of content from crafting, questing, exploring, raiding, PVmP, PVE and of course RP! The kinship’s RP theme is that of a Provisions company that operates a variety of trade routes across the lands of Middle Earth. This concept allows us to engage players of all types in role play whether they are agents or customers of the company. The Provisions business is really just a cover that conceals the group’s true nature as agents of an ancient order of the Seven Stars. The Seven Stars have stood a vigilant watch over the lands of the west since the defeat of Morgoth. Come stand with us. Players will be expected to RP their way into the kinship in some way and our officers and members will work with you to find ways that will help connect our stories in unique and interesting way.

Shadowclan is an RP/PvP guild that is here primarily for the Player versus Monster Player sub-game in Ettenmoors. We will be progressing characters on both sides so as to encourage PvMP play from both sides. As a guild, we expect mature behavior from all members, abiding by the game's TOS and story line, a good faith attempt to RP (as both monsters and Free Peoples) and dedication to the Clan's communistic method of crafting and loot distribution.

We are not a specific raiding or RP kin, though we do those things and are not against any of our members enjoying those aspects, if that is how they wish to spend their time. We have experienced players who are very willing to help out new players. Its very much a family style environment with loads of fun. We are an established kin, with a kin house in Bree.

• The Common Folk The Common Folk - Not every man of the world travels the lands, not every woman takes up with kith and kin to wage battle with the forces that lurk beyond their front stoop. The Common Folk is a Lord of the Rings Online kinship on the Landroval server. Our pure role-play expression is simply one of the common folk of the land, whether Man or Dwarf or Hobbit or Elf. We are farmers and tailors and very great cooks, and we are woodsmen and we even tinker with our anvils. Our hearts do not hanker for adventure beyond a good day's work for a good day's wage - perhaps a pint of ale after! We don't expect a player to consider this their primary kinship. The Common Folk is a way to unwind and just give a little more life to the wonderful lands of Middle-earth. Pop-in when you can, drink some ale and farm with us on good sunny days. The Common Folk's founder is Rerilac Bumbleroot, a Hobbit. He is the nephew of Weigela Bumbleroot (formerly a Greenhand). To learn more about The Common Folk, read the wiki and also contact Rerilac/Weigela or Airgoidhwen in-game.

Now is the time for true Heroes to come to the aid of Middle Earth and provide the ultimate last defense! This is a social kinship open to all races, classes and gameplay styles. It's meant first and foremost for the enhancement of good clean fun of its members. The attitude is one of freedom, achievement, and never backing down. We're involved in both RP and PvP but neither will be required.

• The Dark Blade - Light Roleplaying multi-game guild with members from all over the world. We encourage Roleplay, but it is certainly not required. Our characters tend to be on the "dark side" - not necessarily evil, but a little shady.

• The Enigma Decree (AKA The Enigma Directive) - Roleplaying guild that has spanned two years and several games. We have had good involvement with LOTRO with the Alpha testers in our guild. Recruiting mature 18 years+ members that U.S. based, and can be any race or class. We like to have diversity. We have a website, forum, radio station, and ventrilo voice chat.

• The Iron Militia - The Iron Militia is a heavy roleplaying kinship based out of Thorin's Hall. The kinship is based loosely on some of Moria's history during the Second Age, when the Dwarves left the ruined cities of Nogrod and Belegost and came to the now great and ancient Dwarrowdelf (also known as Moria). During that Age the Dwarves soldified friendships with the nearby Elves and Men. The kinship accepts all races, classes, and levels. Our primary focus is on roleplay and we strive to be in character as much as possible. We are always open to recruitment of mature players who enjoy roleplay and are looking to be part of a close-knit group of players.

• The Last - The Last is a semi-casual guild, well, I honestly don't know what to call us. We're a gaming community of mature-minded folks that have formed a guild together to enjoy each other's company, share gaming experiences and have a less-hectic and politic-free venture in the tumultous waters of guilds in MMO's and the like. We were originally established by four friends who were literally looking to start "the last guild we want to be in." Hence, instead of Rage for Order (what can I say, Queensryche fan here) we named ourselves The Last. We have quite a lot of experience in guild management and we've been around the block in that capacity, so to speak. We're very humor minded and like to share a laugh, a tale and an adventure with friends. Currently, we have a Teamspeak server as well as our own website as linked above. Please come by and have a look. Thank you for your time :).

• The League of Arda - War is coming, war that has been long in the planning, and the League of Arda and it’s members stand ready to face the tide of evil. If we cannot halt it before the Free Peoples of this world perish, then at the very least we can pass into the West with the knowledge that in the eternal Halls of our people, Eldar, Hildor, and Periannath, we can walk unashamed and with our heads held high. We are a heavy Role-play Kinship who are always willing to help anyone.

• The Order of Twilight - A Rank 5 Kinship now on the Landroval server, is recruiting. We are a WOW guild that has operated for over 6 years and are now expanding to the Lord of the Rings Online. We seek mature, friendly people, and we attempt to create a pleasant environment that welcomes all playstyles. If you are interested, please visit our website or our Lorebook entry to learn what we're about. Please feel free to PM any officer (contact an officer link) or post any questions you may have.

• The Palantiri - The Palantiri is a Lord of the Rings Online kinship, based on the Landroval server. We're a group of casual, mature players here to enjoy ourselves with like-minded adults. We raid regularly (we recently defeated the Balrog) and we also have a Creep tribe (Creepshow) for engaging in PvMP. Currently, we have a great mix of players from around the US and Canada. We are not actively recruiting, but we do invite new members as we make new friends in-game. We are not a role-playing kinship. Although many of us enjoy role-playing once in a while (typically for special events, and with our allies), we are out-of-character most of the time. However, we also have a "sub" kinship called Ranya Palantiri, which is an RP-only group for those who want a more immersive role-playing experience.

• The Veil - The Veil is a medium role play multi-gaming guild based out of Combe/Bree (Comb & Wattle/Beggar's Alley/Lowbanks Estates). We're a Thieves Guild, made up of assassins, thieves, information gatherers, spies, etc. We also have members who are not so shady. They run the "Guild Hall" by passing along information to other members as they come into contact with them. A secretarial position if you will. They also cook and help prepare travel packs when an adventure calls us away. Our core membership is comprised of college students and adults with families. We have no playtime requirements, but applicants must be level 15+ and age 18+ to apply. We pride ourselves on being an active, mature and fun group of players to spend your time online with. We are also an active participant in the role play community on Landroval.

• Tirn en Taur - Tirn en Taur is a moderate to heavy roleplaying elf-only kinship. We are a group of mature roleplayers creating a lore-appropriate kinship to live our virtual lives in Middle Earth. We seek to provide our members with a low-fantasy, low-magic, lore-appropriate immersive RP environment while still being able to raid and end-game if interested. We also try to promote mature play and enjoyment through a no-drama policy, increase roleplay awareness by public displays of RP and general interaction with the player population, create ample opportunities for the public to participate in open roleplaying, and work closely with other dedicated RP kinships in creating a better RP environment on Landroval. In-game, the Tirn en Taur is a group created in T.A. 2941 by the White Council to assault Dol Guldur and was kept together to 'watch' the lands around the Great Forests of the elves and guard the ways to the Grey Havens so that all elves may pass to the West in safety.

• Valar Guild - We are an international Tolkien fan club and gamers group, founded October 4, 1997. The original core group has continued on together adding friends since Diablo 1, where we formed a haven for those who wished to actually play the game and to enjoy courteous, literate company of any age. We added new games over time and have long been waiting this incarnation of Middle-earth Online, now Lord of the Rings Online. Some of us meet between games on AIM every Sunday at 5pm EST. We formed the LotRO branch of Valar at the start of Beta 1 and have run it ever since. On the web, we operate a Tolkien Site for articles, stories, poetry, humor, Tolkien's languages, artwork, and music. To attain Full Membership honor, a person must have read at least the Lord of the Rings and enjoy courteous speech and play. We each adopt a Tolkien character for the "primary name", as if it were the real name, behind the amazon, zerg, gnome, Tauren shaman, or hobbit of our choice. This gives everyone an instant relationship to everyone else for fun banter. We do not require role-play, but will generally do so at the drop of a hat. In LotRO, we like to explore all parts of our beloved world from Grand Master farming of taters to working through the epic storyline, counting floors of the Prancing Pony, raiding the Rift or sometimes going at each other in the Ettenmoors (in a friendly way). We help each other and those we meet to enjoy and develop this world and to be all we can be. Contact Fainan in-game (Varda on the Membership page) or any other officer to see if you can make it in or join our friend channel.
