Chartered Company: Northern Lights

[Dark Sasha]

Northern Lights is currently an existing kinship in Lord of the Rings Online. Our Webpage

We are a friendly, neutral, craft-oriented guild, devoted to its members for support, team effort, and mutual protection. We wish to trade with any and all who do not raid upon us. We are a no-pressure guild who simply enjoy one another’s company. We welcome all comers who follow game rules and do not openly take sides with any faction. Griefers and others who think it fun to avoid the spirit of the rules won't be tolerated and are encouraged to look elsewhere.

I've added your Guild to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list. If you have a brief description you'd like to appear there to let people know about your guild while they're browsing that list, just PM me or post a clear request here.

Also, The Seventh Veil welcomes you to the community, and extends an offer of Diplomatic Outreach. (Note, this is not an offer for Alliance, just a way to open formal channels for private discussions.)

I wish you much success :)

Greetings to you, Northern Lights! I am The Wyldethorne, and I would like to introduce myself as an Ambassador of The Kingdom of Aeternum
and offer to establish Diplomatic Ties, if that be your desire. I sincerely hope to establish friendly and prosperous relations with you, our neighbors. Good day, and Well Met!

[Dark Sasha]

Thank you both for your interest in peaceful and mutually beneficial relations between our respective guilds.

How glorious to have a home on Golarion!

I am, along with Dark Sasha, an officer of the Northern Lights. I don't think it is jumping the gun to say that we embrace Diplomatic relations with any and all.

It is early days, indeed, but I am certain that much of our "charter" will involve exploration, trade, manufacture of goods (crafting) and arrangements made for mutual benefit.

For some of us, this is a Brave New World, and we approach it with wide-eyed wonder and anticipation of wondrous times to come.

Hi glad to see a craft-oriented guild! I take sides in things but I'm sure I'll look to trade and work with you sometimes. See you on the wagon trail.

[Visionseer]

We have a new, PFO-dedicated, page!

Okay, it's really rudimentary right now, and the membership application is still in development. We do have places for others to post in, however. One for In Character diplomatic posts, one for OOC diplomacy, and one for general posting to the Company for information and such.

Graphics are still being worked on, but we ought to be customizing things in the next week or two.

Take a look, say hello!

So good to see people willing to establish as Neutrals!

Welcome!

Here is the link to our latest blog entry wherein Visionseer (aka Ice Weasel) discusses our stance with regards to alignments and what we see as our purpose.

Dark Sasha, please check your link, as it is only leading to a SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION window at your new PfO page. Thanks!

Ah. Not her fault. I have that post in an Officer area of our new site. Since Dark Sasha is an officer, access is transparent for her, but there is no access for anyone not an officer.
Here is the complete text of the post.

Quote:

This may ramble a bit; I am going to try to lay down some thoughts on what, exactly, our Company ought to be.

First, some requirements. We need to be mindful of some things that will make the Company viable, and playable for us all, and future members:

Open to all Races
Open to all professions
Have a permanent base
Be free to travel as desired
Hold a neutral political stance
Create a framework for crafting
Have a method of support and funding aside from adventuring
Have a reputation that opens doors

I think that the concept of a Trading Company would satisfy all these and more.

We would have a "home base", where the company is headquartered and keeps it's main crafting workshops. We could warehouse raw materials and commodities, such as fur, ore, other valuables. Obviously, a trading company needs agents to travel, to arrange contracts with suppliers, for contracts for sales of finished goods (or bulk materials transported to the end consumer). We would need to be on good terms with governments and settlements. There would be a need for exploration teams, to discover new things to exploit. We would need military types, to protect our outposts and caravans.

All of that begs a "True Neutral" company alignment. PFO has gone on record that settlements of TN could have inhabitants of NG, LN, TN, CN, and NE. With a stretch, the "corner" alignments (LG, CG, LE and CE) could be held by members, but they may need to stay "on the road" more. (The mechanics of Settlements are being hashed out at this point.)

I would propose that we follow this mercantile model, simply for maximum flexibility.

[Wyldethorne]

Thanks for the post! We of Aeternum look strongly towards helping you achieve your goals, and establishing strong relations.

Hello Sasha of the Dark, Visionseer and other members of Northern Lights. The Keepers of the Circle greet you. As a peaceful and neutral group of crafters, you are very welcome to come and trade with us. Our two groups have very similar views and ideals and may work well together. If you wish to speak with us more in depth you can speak with us at http://www.keepersofthecircle.proboards.com/index.cgi
I'm sure that our ambassadors will gladly treat with you, also.

Nice to see you are still around. I really miss seeing the Northern Lights when I lived in Nome. Quite spectacular. :)

[Dark Sasha]

Bump!
Still here and I think I figured out how to add us to the Goblinworks website.

[Dark Sasha]

Bringing this thread out of dormancy.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the person who sent me the invite to Alpha.

I had loads of fun during the playtest this weekend, despite occasional crashes, none of which caused death.

I love the gathering and crafting, even if I was unable to figure out where to gather a few essential ingredients.

I can't wait to try the newest build.

Last, but not least, I'd like to thank the person who attempted to pvp my character south of Cloverdell (dale?). It gave me the opportunity to test out a tactic for ending such attacks.

[Saiph the Fallen]

I really love your name.

EDIT:

Both the name of your company and your alias!

[Dark Sasha]

Looks like we ended up near you fine folks in Keepers, TEO and 7th (and one more I keep forgetting). We joined Hammerfall a while back in the Landrush.
