They help all of their kinnies and treat everyone as equal, once they have done their part to keep the madness. They also have SM's in every profession. (Ger has an SM in every Proffession!!).

The Damned is comprised of mature people over age 18, who wish to have a full end game experience and be part of an active, vibrant kinship. We welcome all new challenges and rise to meet them. We pride ourselves on our teamwork abilities and our constant quest for "the next thing". The dedication and determination of this kinship's members and its officers proves fruitful to say the least.

  • The Fangorn Woods – The Fangorn Woods is a Level 10 Kin. It all started early 2009 and in spring 2011 started to recruit new members. The Fangorn Woods is an adult kin where the number one priority is to have fun and to avoid the 'elite' approach when playing the game. That makes The Fangorn Woods different then most kin's on the server. The Fangorn Woods is no raiding kin but it does have experience with doing raids for end-content and raids are been planned regularly with other kins. The players themselves are very much experienced, most of them started playing the game when it just got released. They are experienced with all the aspects of the game. It's a very social kin with a kinhouse and a ventrilo server. The Fangorn Woods very much believe you as an individual should be able to play the game in the way YOU like without any obligations! That also makes The Fangorn Woods different from most kins who're using lot's of rules to make a difference within the community. One example where the Fangorn Woods is different then most kins is that The Fangorn Woods do allow people to join with one (or more) character, using our ventrilo while playing with other characters within other kin's. while having other characters within other kins! So you can always decide to 'taste' what The Fangorn Woods is all about. You can also join the Ettenmoors creeps play by joining the 'The Woody Bastards'.
