First of all let me say welcome to all of you, and welcome back to some of you! (Rothsper, among others) I feel it is necessary at this point to give you a brief history of who we are and what we've been through.
To be realistic the seed of the Redeye Knights was formed during beta testing by Cougar Skinwalker (he's been rerolled, and is currently one of our contacts among the Bloodlords, Creed)Huuma Brightblade,Twitchie Tanglefoot, and Zoraster(who is no longer w/ the game). Huuma was our original leader, as he is now, and I was his successor. During the early days we shared many adventures and our ranks swelled to the point that we were one of the most populous guilds on Arggo. Then a time came when there were many of us who, for one reason or another, could no longer remain active. Huuma passed leadership to me and we went through a very dark period. We lost many members to various reasons, including other guilds, and I found myself in a position of leadership with only a handful of Redeye Knights left to lead.
And so came a new beginning. I called a meeting of all active members. The call was answered by Gash, Tequila, Nuitari, Neeber, and Huuma. I was bound and determined that even if I was the only one, the name Redeye Knights would live on. Little did I realize the conviction of my brothers. I told them how things were. I told them that WE were what remained of the mighty Redeye Knights, and that I was not willing to see us pass into the great beyond. I made it clear that if any wished to leave that they would always be brothers(no offense to our current sister Knights) and friends.
HELL NO! came the answer. and like the fiery bird of legend the Redeye Knights came back with a vengeance. For those of you that don't know our Brother Gash, who was my second in command at the time was instrumental in this. His voracious appetite for recruiting was a breath of life, and my eternal gratitude is still his for the taking.
As we stand now, shoulder to shoulder, Redeye Knights all tried and true; I ask that you all remember those that have set us on this path, whether Redeyes they remian or not. Though we may no longer be one of the most populous guilds here on Arrgo, it is my belief that we remain a guild of not only friends, brothers, and sisters, but a guild of quality, of Family.
Perhaps the alcoholic beverages have gotten to me at this point, and I may be rambling as I tend to do, but I end this by saying I am proud to be a Redeye Knight , and I hope that each and every one of you can take pride in the fact that you are as well. We are a family of quality players and friends, and regardless of all,we've been here since beta, and we'll be here until the end.
With my greatest regards and admiration,
Thanilo Dann
