==The telling of Old Guard==
In the beginning, not long after the first wurmians disembarked in these lands BaldEagleOG came upon a vast valley of plenty not far from his settlement. Observing the great strategic potential he quickly moved his camp to the outer rim of the valley and as soon as he had scraped together a small fortune he bought a small deed from the kings trader in New Town. While this was going on Bald's friend Beowulf did the same in the innermost part of the valley. They agreed to share the bounty of the valley, and to support and help each other until their dying breath. The two spendt spend many a cold night by the campfire dreaming, and even more warm days in the lush forests hunting and foraging. With the historic incidents with Jenn-Kellon and Mol-Rehan they agreed on each building an army to defend Jenn-Kellon against Mol-Rehan if there was ever to come to that again. They swore in blood and went their separate ways.
BaldEagleOG was up at arms with his promise to BeoWulf. He had no idea where or how to build an army. He called upon his old friends to help him out, and they did. He worked them so hard one after another fell sick and could not work another day. All wanted to see the army rise, but none would spend their life to see it happen. In the end the only person Bald could trust was the Riddlemaster. A young apprentice with a huge heart, but unable to carry out all Balds tasks on his own. Bald was desperate to have help, and Riddlemaster was desperate to have someone to share Balds nagging commands with. They were desperate not to let Beowulfs blood-oath down.
Eventually it came to the point where Bald was asking random people passing by the village for help. Once his mind was made up a stone fell off his shoulders. He waited patiently. Normally he would fend off anyone nearing the valley to protect its resources. Before long a commoner was passing by outside the palisades. He explained he had just arrived in Newtown a few days ago with some friends, and was now looking for a suitable place to settle. Bald and Riddlemaster both recognized this divine luck - by Vynora! They knew this was faith, and let the stranger in. Two days later 3 norwegians Norwegians settled in outside the palisades. And before long they brought friends. Word traveled the land of the newfound prosperity in the valley, and Bald's old gang of friends started to show up in the valley, and with the newfound fortune of the norwegians Norwegians BaldEagle started once again to build an army. This time at a slower pace. Taking his time to consult and cooperate with his companions. This time he could not fail - by Vynora!
A overview of the valley will be added soon.

==Recruiting==
We are constantly on the watch for hard working, resourcefull resourceful and dedicated players with common sense. Our current age-span is 18 to mid 30's.
If you are interested in joining Old Guard you will simply have to get to know us. :) Be warned joining OG is a process unless you know us in real-life. You will have to prove to us you are industrious and trustworthy. Usually the process is something along the lines of: hang out and chat, be hired for chores in the valley, get permanent access to resources within the valley, become trainee and offered a house within the valley, and eventually get access to the village itself. This process may take weeks, so ''don't quit your day job'' when you decide you want to become an OG too.
'''No - you may not have an application form. You will simply have to hunt us down in-game.'''
These are the projects we have spent numerous hours on. Some larger than others, some of greater public interest.
