If our interests are similar to yours please seek us out. Take care.

• The Common Folk - The Common Folk - Not every man of the world travels the lands, not every woman takes up with kith and kin to wage battle with the forces that lurk beyond their front stoop. The Common Folk is a Lord of the Rings Online kinship on the Landroval server. Our pure role-play expression is simply one of the common folk of the land, whether Man or Dwarf or Hobbit or Elf. We are farmers and tailors and very great cooks, and we are woodsmen and we even tinker with our anvils. Our hearts do not hanker for adventure beyond a good day's work for a good day's wage - perhaps a pint of ale after! We don't expect a player to consider this their primary kinship. The Common Folk is a way to unwind and just give a little more life to the wonderful lands of Middle-earth. Pop-in when you can, drink some ale and farm with us on good sunny days. The Common Folk's founder is Rerilac Bumbleroot, a Hobbit. He is the nephew of Weigela Bumbleroot (formerly a Greenhand).

Most of our founding members have been together for over 3 years in other games. Though our goal is indeed to raid and conquer much of the higher end content in this game, our biggest pride will be in who we are as a guild. Skill, knowledge of one’s class, and other such aspects are an important part of being in this guild, more important is character of the player. We want every member of the guild to have fun and enjoy themselves, with this we also expect our members to not only work together well in groups or raids, but also in just every day play time. The biggest help and support we can gain will be from each other. Helping to further each and every member individually helps us as a whole and makes each and every person in Dark Warriors of Valor (DwV) feel that they are a part of us.

• The Last - The Last is a semi-casual guild, well, I honestly don't know what to call us. We're a gaming community of mature-minded folks that have formed a guild together to enjoy each other's company, share gaming experiences and have a less-hectic and politic-free venture in the tumultuous waters of guilds in MMO's and the like. We were originally established by four friends who were literally looking to start "the last guild we want to be in." Hence, instead of Rage for Order (what can I say, Queensryche fan here) we named ourselves The Last. We have quite a lot of experience in guild management and we've been around the block in that capacity, so to speak. We're very humor minded and like to share a laugh, a tale and an adventure with friends. Currently, we have a Teamspeak server as well as our own website as linked above. Please come by and have a look. Thank you for your time :).

We are a heavy Role-play Kinship who are always willing to help anyone.

• Legends of Middle Earth - A light RP kinship that prides itself on a mature respect for each other. We love to just have fun in anyway we can. Very helpful members, although not a large kinship so far.

We hope that with enough members we can finally overcome the witch-king's might and re-create the once great kingdom of Arnor. I, Khelek Heru, am the leader. Selico is second in command, so if I am not on he will answer for me. We don't have a kinship house, yet, but feel free to use my personal house. Also we are a max lifespan kinship , so enjoy.

• Oakleaf Order - In the years during the initial rise of Sauron, the leaders of men, elf, and dwarf forged a secret society analogous to but separate from the rangers. Their mission was a simple one: To use the best and brightest to run missions, perform reconnaissance, and lead the armies of the free peoples in any necessary conflict.
