This is our sanctuary. A place of artistic freedom dedicated to improving one's skills and forging an environment of growth, learning and excellence.

This guild is not for everyone. It is a place that will challenge you in ways you can only imagine. It is for those who are driven by their art and creativity and the desire to improve.

<img:stuff/themark.gif>

This is the mark of the guild which you may place in your house. It symbolizes your dedication to the guild and your desire to improve your artistic talents. It lets others know that you are serious about learning, and are willing to put forth the effort to make the change.

Now that you have chosen the path of the Dark Arrow, we invite you to help create an incredible fantasy world here at Elftown. This is not just another "Take Back Elftown" site, but more of a proactive working project. We are not replacing anything in Elftown- just creating a safe haven for those that want to and are willing to do something with the wonderful talent they have been given.

Our goal is to help create a stronger town within a town where other artists, writers, and RPGers etc. can find sanctuary.

The Ranks of the Dark Arrow
There are 4 ranks within the Dark Arrow- each are earned by a series of tests and trials. To become a master and teacher you will have to earn it. Nothing within this guild is given for free.

The ranks are as follows:

The Youngling The Youngling is where you place your name. It is here your journey begins. You will create a personal wiki page where you may place your art to be judged. The more you place the better your chances are to be accepted by a knight to be mentored. It is here you also request the direction you wish to grow in. This helps us better place you with a knight.

Dark Arrow:Yellow Arrow

The Squire
When chosen by a knight you will place this icon in your house. It is here that you work your way to knighthood. You will be given challenges and a quest, that will test your artistic ability. How you react will be a deciding factor in your quest for knight hood.

The Knight
A full member of the order. There are many different types of knights but all are equal. Some of the areas one might be a knight in: penciling, inking, or painting. Once you are a knight in a field, you may focus on other areas and abilites which will lead to the rank of master. A knight must go through the same training process in each field and pass a test to claim those extra ranks. The knight may use the red icon in their house and on their page. A knight is also expected to take on a squire in order to continue the training of newer guildmembers.

The Master Craftsman
These are knights that have earned 5 or more titles in the knight field and produce a complex and finished piece of art. They show incredible skill, ability and control and are able to produce complex and thought provoking works. They are chosen by the other masters and are required to find tutorials that will benefit the order, create tests for knighthood and help keep the guild active.

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: ok erin who else do we invite i want to keep it small right now it is you rogue and igorina- i want to keep it small

2005-06-10 [TheRogue]: oh HELL yeah!!!

2005-06-10 [Rennie]: small...we need...*thinks* maybe Lerune (guard cap-can do quite a bit here)...any other thoughts Marc?

2005-06-10 [TheRogue]: oh HELL YEAH!!!!

2005-06-10 [TheRogue]: I think Lerune would be a good ally in here..

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: good - that will work for me- then once things are organized we'll start selecting those we can trust maybe come up with a test or something as well- we won't show them the home wiki until they are accepted

2005-06-10 [Rennie]: *nods* sounds great to me

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: if we do a test we'll need someone to come up with it-

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: ok i might do more later but i need a break

2005-06-10 [TheRogue]: man that stuff ROCKS...*sigh* my hero...

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: you guys got me thinking about it- so thoughts...come on marc i now your thinking

2005-06-10 [Rennie]: I like the idea of the clans...maybe each different sect of clans can be 'hunters' for something in particular...does that make sense...? And the leaders of that clan keep track (through a messaging or forum I guess, private only to that clan) and we should probably keep people with guards privs as the heads of the clans...since, well, we are the ones who make things happen, y'know? how's that sound...?

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: it sounds well- as long as they are guards like you and rogue and are pretty active about keeping the town clean- and erin were you going to invite lerune to this?

2005-06-10 [Rennie]: I like the idea of the 'undercover' blank houses to warn people with...I know I have one inactive clone account that I would be more than happy to let us use...[Nikkers] :)

2005-06-10 [Rennie]: I just wanted to make sure that it was okay with you first :)

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: and it would be only one message- plus we'll set the wiki up here with those names- so the real ones could keep watch. especially if someone bans the phantom account- the real rogues would still pass through undetected- :) and there is only one warning

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: oh it is- i'm into duel ownership- i'll just lay the ground work and post the pretty pics:) so the kills idea is ok as well- sort of keeps people going

2005-06-10 [Lerune]: Okay, you can stop talking about me now. =oP

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: welcome to our corner of secrecy lerune:)

2005-06-10 [Rennie]: *laughs* we're not reaaaaaaaaaaaally talking ABOUT you roonie...just NEAR you. ;)

2005-06-10 [Rennie]: If we have 4 guilds...I think we should choose the 4 most responsible 'guards' we can...I know we already have Roonie, Rogue, and myself (if you want to use us for the job) but do we have any ideas on a last person...(or more if we are having more than 4 areas...?) and maybe, we should designate what each area is responsible for hunting...?

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: fair enough- though when accept someone new into the group they need to choose a house to work out of- i am creating a 5th one- more for building and maintance- and running the bar:)

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: also all the text above will change - right now it is a staging ground for ideas- until we are ready to post - i want to make it sort of magical

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: besides i need someone to correct my grammer and spelling-i'm just an artist:)

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: we'll have non-gaurds here as well- so we'll need to find spots- igorina(my writer) and myself are such- but i see nothing wrong with you guys running one of the houses- you'll have a second as well- but you will have to keep it maintained and updated - watching your own as well

2005-06-10 [Rennie]: lmao just like the rest of the fold ;) anyways, going to hop off now...on the boss man's pc *shhhhh* be back later tonight with more ideas!

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: ok the 4 houses are up- 5th to be later when i get the graphic done- who wants what

2005-06-10 [Lerune]: Is is gay if I say green is my favorite color? =oP

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: no i really don't think so- if it was lime maybe:)

2005-06-10 [TheRogue]: I took Black Arrow guild, and [DarkChaos] is my ghost runner. Erin will take Red Arrow.

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: very cool - i'm working a character like model sheet - sort of like the who's who jedi section- i will also come up with a special house leader and 2nd badge along with the scribe and a ghost image for the house for the ghost runners

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: steel hammer group will be mine

2005-06-10 [TheRogue]: [Blood on the Rose] will be Red Arrow's Runner.

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: ok member template is up

2005-06-10 [travs the bean]: also havn't built the steel hammer house will do that later
