- Astalderea was founded on two main principles: To personify the meaning of Kinship as we build bonds of Fellowship among each other and aid each other with out abilities, and to strive Valorously against the Shadow.Kinship is the most basic of organization of individuals into social groups, roles, and categories. By combining the skill set of different races and classes we can both journey through and conquer the Shadows of Angmar.Astalderea itself means "Valiant Ones" and it is in both Attitude and Deed that we present this image.May your travels be swift and fair, and we hope that you will make them with us.

We are accepting new members but we do not accept members under the age of 21. We are VERY tight knit and oriented toward helping one another in ALL aspects of the game.

- Dominus Nihil was established in September of 2003 in Star Wars Galaxies. We are a casual guild with mixed relaxed, serious, and helpful gamers. Dominus Nihil has branches in several MMOs and continues to grow everyday. We are very family oriented with mature players (age and playstyle). Dominus Nihil requires nothing from its members other than respect and a good attiutude, however we still host regular, popular raids and group quests. We are a stable guild founded with leadership of a Council/Elder system meaning that no one person has power and allows new members to contribute directly to the guild as a whole. We are a good sized guild, but purposely will never be the largest on the server. Most importantly, we enjoy the company of our fellow DNers and strive to keep the legacy of DN passing through many games over the course of time.

We pride ourselves on helping each other out and have created quite a support system to do just that. If you would like to check us out please contact one of the officers in-game; they are Ceemae, Acelin, Kopf, Lunaria, Rhoden, Irwen, Scipio, among others, but one of these people are almost alway on.

Although TeamSpeak is not necessarily a requirement to join our kinship, it is highly recommended because many of the issues concerning our kinship are discussed on there.
