Who are The Guard Of The Citadel?
The Guard Of The Citadel is a Friendly, casual, Roleplaying Kinship devoted to immersion, both their own and that of other players. They are a Lifespan 10 Kinship with a Kin house in the ]]Bree-land Homesteads]]. They are not hardcore role-players, but they do have a large amount of roleplay and backstory incorporated into the kinship, however participating in the kin role-plays is not obligatory at all. The guard are fun loving people and kinship meetings and role-plays are always full of laughter! Their main goal is to just enjoy themselves and enrich their experience of the game and enjoy the fantastic community, that is filled with great people.
The Guard recruit primarily from the race of men as well as dwarves and elves. There is no level or class restriction, all are welcome. Members roleplay as the guards of the citadel, the elite soldiers of the kingdom of Gondor and there are a number Of Friendly Officers Who are regularly on the Site and LOTRO to assist and advise other members of the guard.
Roleplay
Members of Guard of the Citadel take up the roles of Minas Tirith's elite, sent from the White City out into the world in search of important resources or information, allies, or even in folly. Each soldier may have a different mission, given unto him in Denethor's slowly maddening state. Even so, two things unite them: Loyalty to their kingdom and devotion to the free peoples of Middle Earth.

Recruitment
Guard of the Citadel accepts Dwarves and Elves, though RP wise, positions will be limited for members of other races, however this only affects character backstory and RP. Race and class have no effect on the rank a guard can reach.
Primarily, Gondor is the greatest kingdom of men, and the race of men serves almost exclusively amidst it's military orders, although there are some of the other races who have rose to high ranks and positions of high honour and glory, as retainers of the guard.
Hobbits are not permitted to join Guard of the Citadel, as a consideration for Peregrin Took's unique place in Middle Earth history as the only halfling member ever permitted to join the Guard of the Citadel.
The guard do not simply accept members on a "I want to join, ok your in!" basis. They have a Tradition of performing a short Roleplay session with the applicant before handing them over to an officer to be interviewed and either accepted into the kinship or refused entry.

A Word From The Guards.
"What we're looking for in members are intelligence and honesty. We'll take anyone who wishes to join, provided they're sincere about wishing to roleplay and learning the lore of the world, However all applicants must be interviewed by an officer to judge their roleplay ability and general attitude and friendliness. If you seem like a nice person and have a basic to good roleplay ability you are almost guaranteed a position in the kin! We wish to be inclusive. No one is obligated to donate anything to the kinship or it's members, nor are they obligated to take part in any other member's individual story arcs. However they are strongly encouraged to participate on the Kin roleplay that is on the site and in most major kinship gatherings. If your interested in joining the kin ingame mail one of our other officers: Angdalen Namashe Winterwolf Or our Kin Master, Alcare."
