I have been the hunted all of my life, it seems. The individual that others seek to kill for personal gain or zealous ambition. I have seen what this world does to those who don’t fit a particular mold: those who are without a home, seeking to be free from the tyranny of their given dictator. I have been captured and tortured for no better reason than being, to them, a dirty traitor for helping free the Iksar from Lucan, and a filthy animal for what I have been afflicted with. This wasn’t deserved, and nobody else deserves it either. Isn’t it interesting that the world seems to compensate for shortcomings by purging everything they deem as being weak or unfit? Isn’t it odd that we are all forced in many ways to suffer under the leadership of those who simply happened to be in the right place at the right time?Venril Sathir; my people, the Iksar, enslaved to a lich, and hoping for better. The High Elves and their loss of Felwithe, the same, as it is for all those who have lost homes and now reside in the cramped quarters unhappily within their own, current residencies. I have helped my people before once, and now, I will do it again, but not alone. They are not the only ones now deserving of this, though they are indeed deserving, just like everyone else. But beyond these struggling races, there are those who struggle with themselves; cursed to attempt to live a life of normality under extraordinary circumstances. I, myself, a Lycanthrope, as I have been for many, many years. I know the pain: physical, emotional, as loved ones turn you away, and your body transforms into a monster against your will. Is it not the same for our Vampiric brethren as well? The insatiable bloodlust? The terrible feeling of knowing that you can never see the sun again? The both of these horrible curses, inflicted upon those of us who want nothing more than normal lives again; as well as those who are unhappy with the current society’s mold. My brothers, the Iksar, my kindred, the Lycans, our friends, those who share their plight; denied that by others who believe they have a say in the way that others live. To that, I say, no more. We are those that the world no longer wants. We are those that, despite even possibly holding valuable positions within our societies, might be starving for comrades that we can share our beliefs, and experiences with. Before, we were separated… Now, I invite us to be one. Who will join me?[[ Aphelion is a League of sorts that operates in shadow away from the eyes of others, yet not in the concept of darkness or evil as one might think from the choice of words. More enigmatic than wicked, Aphelion’s goals lean more toward the concept of neutrality and the betterment of both the whole, and the individual within its membership.The guild is a group of individuals who, even while possibly having functional lives within society, don’t feel that the goals of society fit what their vision of what Norrath should be like. In that, it is a sanctuary to both outcasts and politicians alike, the catch being they both have the desire to help turn the tides against the tyranny and zeal that often threatens the ideals of the guild.This doesn’t mean that a character that is part of the Aphelion is a vagrant or an outcast. Many who are within these protected walls have active roles in their societies as healers, warriors, diplomats and artisans; though they may feel the need to be away from responsibility, or feel out of place even within their race’s cities.While extremely complex in what it hopes to accomplish, this is due to the nature of the guild itself being open to many different kinds of character concepts. The motivations your character has and their reason to join our "cause" is ultimately up to you. We have provided several examples of what will work, and all we ask is that in the end, your cause fit this overall “mold”.In a nutshell, you may think of Aphelion as a cross between concepts within: The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, theX-Men, and the Sci-Fi Show Sanctuary. We oppose threats to the greater good of Norrath, but also to the greater good of those who might be housed within.We are not Norrath’s Knights in Shining Armor or the individuals that fervently swear their allegences to one of Norrath’s many cities (beyond face value at least), as there are plenty of other guilds that embody these ideals. We operate quietly, behind a front that hides our true intentions, and when we do strike, we do so secretly, and leave no trace of our actions behind.Aphelion itself is fronted by the concept of a “School” and mysterious “headmaster”, teaching the less fortunate of the world lessons in self defense, martial arts, history, reading, writing, etcetera. The Headmaster’s name is not known, though whispers of the reputation of the school itself are very positive; carrying very good regards toward the caliber of education.Beyond all of the in-character complexities and workings of the guild itself, however, we understand that there is one thing far more important than the characters that we play: the player itself. Aphelion is a guild that hopes to not only build long lasting stories and prospective role-play friendships in game, but out of character friendships as well. While role-play and experiences in-character are extremely important to us, we also like experiencing the game with each other and provide an environment that is conducive toward getting to know the player in some ways just as well as the character.We want to build a community in the guild itself that is friendly, comes to know each other, and comes to befriend each other as companions within this world of EverQuest II. Role-play relationships may be fleeting, character squabbles may happen, but in the end, we all can remain close compatriots as players.Our guild is divided into three different divisions; hoping to offer characters of all backgrounds and professions a creative springboard to participate in our theme. These three divisions are;<img src="http://files1.guildlaunch.net/guild/library/gallery/127960/agent7779Pop.gif" width="71" height="177" /> <img src="http://files1.guildlaunch.net/guild/library/gallery/127960/cryptologist4631Pop.gif" width="71" height="177" /> <img src="http://files1.guildlaunch.net/guild/library/gallery/127960/peacekeeper1443Pop.gif" width="71" height="177" />The Agent, The Cryptologist, and The Peace Keeper(Lead by Xilena) (Lead by Koristra) (Lead by Drekkan)<a href="http://aphelion.guildlaunch.com/custom.php?page_id=61961&gid=127960" target="_blank">(Read More about our Ranking System Here)</a>If you are interested?
