Mission:
------------------------
The goal of the Drökkfar is to be a strategically minded guild with the goal of unifying the Alfar into a great and powerful army that is capable of dominating all of Agon and to make all other races vassals. Drökkfar will be highly organized with a well defined military and leadership structure. All leadership position in the guild are not static and are attainable by all members of the guild who show their prowess, gain popular support and demonstrate their dedication to the Drökkfar.

 

Theme and Short Backstory:
------------------------
The God-King Melek has granted the Drökkfar the right to form a Legion and unite all of the Alfar together and to march onto the surface of Agon and to make all the pathetic life forms of Agon vassals to him. We have won this right for among the Dökkalfar we are known as great warriors.

 

Our history stretches back to well over seven thousand years ago when Melek went into one of his long solitude periods and all Alfar were left to our own devices. Like usual this was a time of savage chaos, which is the wisdom of Melek to make us stronger. One night a strange ship appeared on the shore of Nagast. A man in binds was taken from the ship by human warriors and put upon the shore. Here they released his bonds and then sail away abandoning this man upon Agon. Soon the Alfar of this day surrounded this man with the intent on killing him and eating his flesh. But this man spoke the words of our ears with a commanding power. He had us take him deep into the underworld where he began his work.

 

This man was know as Völund and it become known that he was kidnapped by a king that lives beyond the sea and was taken to this island that we call Agon and he must forge precious items for this king. Völund commanded us to find all the shiny things of the underworld and bring them to him, which he forged into marvelous treasures never seen before by Alfar. As he forged he taught us. We learned of the way of the Drótt and how to become greatest of warriors. The king of the far off land would visit Völund to collect the treasures that Völund forged and the king would mock him calling him vísi álfar (leader of the Alfar). Eventually Völund escaped this island of Agon by fooling and killing the king’s sons and make his daughter be with child.

 

From what we learned from Völund we become know as Drengr Dökkalfar (which means the courageous warriors of the Dark Elves). When Melek sent the Alfar to war with the surface dwellers we were already great warriors. On the battlefield we were known as the most notorious warriors of the Alfar gaining the favor of Melek. After the war the Alfar came to call us simply Drökkfar.

 

It has been many thousands of years since the war with the surface dwellers but the Drökkfar still maintain the favor of Melek God-King of the Alfar. Before he went into his solitude he granted us the right to from a Legion and to once again led the Alfar to war with the surface dwellers and make all of Agon Vassals to him.

 

The Will of Melek commands us so we will make it so and forge the Drótt again and begin the new era of the Drökkfar Legion.

 

Who are we looking for:
------------------------
~ All Alfar - we want to unite the Alfar together into a great and power army to dominate all of Agon.
~ Non-Alfar - If you are willing to submit to the will of Melek and serve the Drökkfar Legion then we will make you a Thrall to the Alfar. Each Thrall will have the right to win their freedom and be posted as warriors and commanders in outposts and garrisons throughout Agon.
~ Warriors - Alfar are destined to rule all of Agon but the road of victory is paved in blood. We need the bravest of warriors to carve a path through the forest of enemies so the foundations of the Drökkfar Legion can be laid.
~ Dedicated Crafters - an army marches on its stomach and can not win with dull swords.
~ Leaders - There are many command and leadership positions within the Drökkfar Legion that are attainable by all members.
~ Small Alfar clans - If you have a clan with a similar theme then unite with the Drökkfar Legion. The Alfar will be stronger united then divided since all of Agon is against us! The structure of the Drökkfar will make it easy for clans to merge and preserve their command structure.

 

The type of player we are looking for in the Drökkfar are:
~ English speaking players that are planning on playing on a North American server
~ Capable of being mature and respectful to other players and will not grief players unless it fits within the nature or theme of his character (example: No trace of kindness exists in the world of the Alfar)
~ Enjoy RPG and strategy games
~ Will not exploit or cheat

 

The Drökkfar overall will maintain a Light Roleplaying environment. We want to attract players that enjoy the setting of the game but are not fanatical about Roleplaying. Drökkfar members would be expected to maintain an In-Character persona when playing the game and respond to situations as their character would. So basically the Roleplaying in Drökkfar will be situational or lore based. (NOTE: Guild chat and Vent are OOC)

 

If this is you then Join the Guild

 

Guild History and Info:
------------------------
~ The guild was formed in June of 2006 for the Age of Conan game. In AoC we are called Imperium and are located on the Cimmeria Server. The Imperium is one of the oldest guilds in AoC that is active and we maintain our original leadership. When AoC was more open ended we coordinated gladiatorial type games and epic RP battles. Now we are involved in end game content like sieges and raids. We have gained a lot of experience in AoC that we will bring to Darkfall.
~ We have a 100 slot Ventrilo server
~ We will continue to have a guild in AoC and any member belonging to Drökkfar is welcome to join the Imperium in AoC by simply joining one of the militias.

 

Guild Structure:
------------------------
>>> Military
The Drökkfar military will be organized into divisions call Drótts. A Drótt will be made up of 4 to 5 squads called Fólkkr, with 6 to 10 players. The supreme commander of all the Drökkfar military force is the Dróttin. The Dróttin will have the final say in any grand strategy and disposition of the Drökkfar army (called the Herr) and the Navy (called Floti). Each Division will be commanded by a Jarlfar and will work closely with the Dróttin on militiary affairs and strategy.

 

>>> Government
The Drökkfar Legion has two assemblies, a higher one called Drökkfar Ríkr ţing (Drökkfar Great Assembly) for dealing with political, policy, and military affairs and a lower one called Drökkfar Fólk ţing (Drökkfar Warriors Assembly) for dealing with internal issues of crafting, city building and civil laws.

 

The Völundr is the representative of the fictional God-King Melek. The Völundr represents the head of state Melek within the Drökkfar Legion and acts as the commander-in-chief in the name of Melek. The Völundr as commander-in-chief in practice doesn't take command of the armed forces and only oversees the readiness of the armed forces and acts as moral leader. The Dróttin is the de-facto commander-in-chief as long as there is a Völundr to legitimize he/her command. The Dróttin serves as the military advisor to the Drökkfar Ríkr ţing (Drökkfar Great Assembly).
