"A clan of friends"

On February 14th in the year 2006, a day so cold that dragon's breath crystallized and fell in brittle flakes to the ground, a group of friends gathered together in an icy stone room in Edgeville. Battle worn and weary of the strife running rampant in the great world of Runescape, they huddled together, gleaning what little warmth and comfort they could find. Echoes of harsh insults and demands rang in the silence, shadows of hostility and anger drowned what little light came up from the ladder hole in the floor. Although unspoken, one thought weighed on every mind. What if .......

What if there were a clan led not by one, but by a group of friends committed to an ideal?
What if they brought their individual talents to blend together into a force unmatched?
What if honor and compassion and loyalty and kindness counted above all?
What if respect for fellow players, friend and foe, were a guiding light?
What if the significance of real life were ranked high above any game?
