New SubmissionsQuest - Guilds
Join a Guild and join a challenge. Gain XP and accolades by accepting Guild Quests.
The idea for Strolen Citadel Guilds has been around since the site first began. There have been many thoughts about it and all of them revolved around A LOT of code with the features all, more or less, automated. Well, that won't happen so why fight my impulses.
Guilds are moved to the Forum where they can thrive and we can all be creative with them.
So any submission that goes in for the next month with a Guild focused freetext will gain extra XP and the knowledge that you are here at the beginning of the Era of the Guilds!

The true depths of darkness travel far deeper into the hearts of mortal man than the darkest and deepest cave I have ventured in.

The following are my findings on the subject, as horrible as they are. I just hope I can finish this before my mind is lost to me.

Kormak Cabeaza, Scribe and Scholar to Lord King Vyrkril the Just of Camerial
He stood before me, a freankenstien of a man beast that towered twenty feet tall or more.

I watched in horror as the final pieces were infused together with dark magics granted to the mighty Kormak by Shivenhusk Himself. The head from Lord King Vyrkril was placed on a base of blacked bone and thrust into the cold burning fire. I swear I hear it scream in agony. Decnus Kormak smiled at his late king and when he pulled the chalice from the blue flame bare handed, he clutched it covetously. That alone made me afraid.
