Honour
We fight clean and we keep our word. A Holy Grail banner on the field means a foe worth respecting and an ally you can trust at your back.
The Guild
An order sworn in steel
Holy Grail is an objective-focused, combined-arms guild in Gloria Victis, sworn to Midland. Infantry, archers and cavalry - siege specialists with a sense of humour.
We ride beneath the Midland banner - the red, feudal nation of knights and barons - holding our ground in the endless war for Stoneholm. Against the raiders of Ismir and the legions of the Sangmar Empire, we stand as one shieldwall, one warband, one house.
Holy Grail exists for the parts of Gloria Victis that need people who actually show up: non-instanced sieges, open-field PvP, and the unglamorous supply line that keeps a warband in the field. We are not the largest banner on the map and we are not trying to be - we recruit by worth, not by headcount.
And yes, the crest bears the Holy Hand Grenade. We are a knightly order that takes the objective seriously and itself a little less so. If that sounds like your kind of war, read on.
TODO (owner): add the guild's real founding story, names and dates here.
What we swear by
Four things every member signs up to - on the field and off it.
Discipline
Non-target combat rewards the steady hand. We drill the shieldwall so that when the horns sound the warband moves as one body, not twenty.
Brotherhood
No one rides alone. From your first muster to the last gate that falls, the host holds the line for you - in the wall and off it.
Good humour
The crest bears the Holy Hand Grenade for a reason. We take the siege seriously and ourselves a little less so. Bring your A-game and your sense of humour.
What we ask of you
Short list. We would rather a small host that turns up than a big one that does not.
- 1Show up for the muster. We do not demand a second job - but when a siege is called and you said you would be there, be there.
- 2Be on comms. We coordinate on Discord and in voice during organised fights; a quiet wall is a broken wall.
- 3Pull your weight in logistics. Gather, craft, or fund the supply line - an army marches on its stockpile.
- 4Respect the banner and each other. Drama off the field is the one thing that loses wars faster than the enemy.
