Starbs History
As I said, my name means Died Honorable Battle. In all things, there must be honor. Honor promotes trust, valor, courage, and team work. If you have honor, you have friends. If you have friends, you want to help those friends. If you want to help those friends, why not help people who are strangers, and make friends with them? Then you will have more friends who will all help you in need. It is a perpetual cycle.
From day one, I learned that not all Realm citizens have honor. I went hunting with a man who took me to a crypt that held trolls. I believe it was called Troll Haven. After a few battles, where I did what I could to help, the powerful man turned on me and my fellow hunting companion, killing us for there weapons.
Well, needless to say, a person new to the Realm has little of value, so I was killed for sport. But my other hunting companion was killed for a very powerful sword, enchanted with powerful magics. One he could ill afford to lose. I tried to help him retrieve his belongings, but we were no match for the villainous monster who had beguiled us with promises just to lure us into his deadly trap. I offered to teleport my fellow hunting companion to safety, but he declined.
That was the last time I ever saw him. I am not sure what happened next, but after being in the Realm for a while now, I still do not know what happened. I have also not seen the Vile monster who took pleasure in our deaths. I like to think that he met his just end and that my hunting companion helped him on his way to his final torment.
Since that time, I had been very untrustful of others. I was content to just hunt alone. Not really reaching out to others, for fear that they would want to do me harm.
One day, I ran into a woman who asked if I wanted to hunt with her. I was lonely, tired of the solitude, ready to take a chance at trusting again. Also, this woman seemed different from the rest. I do not know what was different, but I felt that she would not hurt me like what was done before. It was obvious that she had the power to utterly destroy me, but I had the feeling she would only use her power to help others, and not destroy those hunting with her.
We hunted for a while and I came to trust her. Also, I learned she was in a guild that had lots of people who were trustworthy and lived with honor. I read up on the guild and I was astonished. All these members hold the same beliefs of honor, trust, and helping others that I do. I was shocked. I wanted to be a member right then.
I joined the guild channel and started asking about joining the guild. I talked to the leader and was put on a trial membership, to make sure that I was not a vile monster who took pleasure in hurting others, because that would tarnish the guild. Some may have been upset, but I was thrilled. To know that they held to their beliefs enough that they wanted to protect the guild from any who would try to tarnish it's name. Well, that was just the place I was looking for.
I am currently still on trial membership, but I am pleased to announce that I am COMPLETELY satisfied that this is the guild for me. It has been a while since I have see the woman who introduced me into the guild, but I look for her all the time. She is involved in other affairs and I would not want her to dishonor herself just to hunt with me. But, I do want to thank her for showing me that there are others with the same honor code that I have.
Since that time, I have made friends with the members of the guild, and have tried to help all that have been in need and I had the resources to help. I look forward to being a full member of the guild.
If you are looking for a guild and this sound like your kind of place, visit http://go.to/EOoH for more information. Also, stop by on channel 508 and say hello. Thank you for taking an interest in me and please give me the chance to return the interest. Email me with a little about yourself. We all can use more friends.
