While wandering through the woods of Agon, you come upon a tree adorned with pairs of long black and green ribbons delicately tied around its trunk and dangling from its low hanging branches. A flicker of movement to your side draws your attention to another set of ribbons hanging from a tree in the distance, and as you peer deeper into the forest, you can just make out a line of trees all bearing the same marks flittering gently in the wind.
Looking closer at the tree in front of you, you notice a tablet of petrified bark bearing a scratched inscription. The tablet is propped against an exposed root tied with two ribbons: one white, the other black. Squatting down to look at the scratchings, you can see it is a message written in common:
Beware, wanderer. You enter sacred lands, protected by clan of The Sundered Guard.
Trespassers carrying the stench of evil or undeath will have no further warning before falling prey to Hunt.
Trespassers without stench should tread lightly and swiftly through, should not make camp, should not make harvest, and should pray to not meet Hunt.
If seeking parlay with Sundered, tie a white ribbon to branch and do not stray. An emissary will soon approach.
If seeking home with Sundered, take a black ribbon with you and enter these woods.
Another sudden flash of motion from the corner of your eye draws your gaze, and for a moment you can’t help shake the feeling of being watched. As you look around, however, you see nothing but the black and green ribbons still waving in the breeze.

The Sundered Guard is a casual roleplay guild based on the ideals of a ranger's brotherhood, and committed to the championing of those ideals through active participation in FFA PvP. We were founded in early 2002 in anticipation of Shadowbane's release, and since then the Guard has traveled from one world to the next, walking the fine line between nature and civilization while defending each from the other. We maintain a tight-knit community that values friendship and good times over uber loot and rankings, with a passion for skilled group vs group combat in meaningful PvP settings.
On Agon, The Sundered Guard – or as it is said in the feral tongue, "Da Rakeh Nkosh" - is a brotherhood of the wild: A union of two groups once separated by strife, now brought together by the shared loss of their homeland and the burning desire to reclaim it. An unlikely and sometimes tense mix of mahirim, mirdain, humans and dwarves, the people of the Guard are bound by their common mission, common lands, and the deep respect for nature they share.
For more information about our clan, please have a read through our chapter charter, rules of engagement, and chapter lore. Also, feel free to wander about our glades (forums) and get to know our natives in the Heartland Inn or Echo Rock. Be warned, though, a few do bite…
Happy hunting to all!
