6/24/03 - Finally... A New Gallery!

To commemorate the merging of Circle of Shields with The Exodus Fellowship, I finally got off my arse and added a new gallery to our Gallery Section. Sadly, I couldn't make the event, but from what I hear, a good time was had by all. Please do everything you can to help our newest members feel like a part of the family.

Special thanks to Gilgamesch for sending in the shots!

6/23/03 - Easy Riders are now an official Ally!

Many of you know that The Easy Riders of Povar have long been a friend to The Exodus Fellowship. Well now our Alliance is official. Please continue to use the alliance channel "cosefer" and remember to treat them with the same amount of respect that you treat your own guildees!

And that goes for our other ally, Primal Blood as well!

Feel free to visit their message boards and help them out when you can regarding groups, tradeskills or just a friendly ear!

ARCHIVE NOTE: This is one of Tynaeya's old Guilds. It is no longer in existence. R.I.P. Easy Riders. The graphics above were done by the old guild leader of ER, Wintyre. You can see his work online at this link here. He is also the one who did the images in the class of areas of eq.castersrealm.com.

6/18/03 - The End of an Era... And the Welcoming of Friends

I am both saddened and excited to bring you the
following news. It is with a heavy heart that I tell
you that Circle of Shields is disbanding. Many of
them have fought and died with us, and many of us have
joined them in their battles. The guild has made it's
mark on Norrath, and it will be missed.

As an ally, the High Council feels that we should do
everything in our power to assist them through this
troubling time. If Exodus ever disbanded, my biggest
grief would be knowing that friends have split apart.
We wish to help Circle of Shields avoid this.
Therefore, it is with open arms that Exodus Fellowship
welcomes many of our allies into our own ranks.

As a celebration of the merger, we will be meeting in
the Lake Rathe Arena on Friday, 6pm EST. At this
time, many of our allies will become our guildmates.
Please try to attend and join the celebration.

The period following the merger may be difficult for
several of the new members. I would ask that each of
you make a special effort to get to know everyone and
make them feel welcome.

Thank you, and ALL HAIL CIRCLE OF SHIELDS!

ARCHIVE NOTE: Kumtha, Taniana, Thornkill, Tynaeya among others were members of this guild. (If I have forgotten you and you are still active send me a note to be added to this list.)

6/16/03 - It's a Girl!

Guild Members Arri and Mantrena have just welcomed little Alisa MaryAnn into the world! Alisa arrived on June 7, at 9:58am. She weighed 7lbs. and was 19 1/4 inches long! Congratulations Arri and Mantrena (aka Sharon and Jason)! We miss you in Norrath, but now that Kalina has a little sister, we know you have your hands full!

For those of you that are relatively new to us, Arri has served on our High Council as Guild Leader and Mantrena has also served on the High Council. Once again, our well wishes and hearty congratulations on the new addition to your family!

5/23/03 - The Fellowship loses a friend

As some of you no doubt heard, we lost a good friend this week. Many of us knew him as Warmadz, a friendly Shaman Barbarian with a big heart. Unfortunately, Warmadz's journey with us is over. His user Scott Cole has passed away. Please join us in Halas, Sunday evening, June 1st as we say goodbye to our dear friend. For more details make sure to keep checking the "Fellowship Lodgings" section of our forum.

5/15/03 - Valathia and Grimscythe promoted to Honor Guard

Congratulations to Valathia (47 enchanter) and Grimscythe (60 ranger) on your promotions to the Honor Guard. They are well - deserved and we look forward to working with you!

And here is a recap of our recent promotions...

Sindee laughs it up at the Arena!

Last month, Sindee hosted a party at the Arena where among the many duels, awards and promotions were handed out by Arathain. Little did Sindee know that she would be a recipient of both!

Mantrena, Tanluin and Macolic have stepped down from the High Council to live their lives as Sages of the Fellowship. Their fine service to the guild will always be appreciated and we thank them greatly for it. This opened the door for some new promotions. After serving us so well for many months, Plaxibo and Gilgamesch have moved up to the High Council. Also joining them was one of our founding members as well as a former member of the HC, Wamphyre! Promoted to the Honor Guard were Idylla and Sindee!

and the medals go to...

The first Guildees to win the Dragon Slayer Medallion are Thallus who helped take down Trakanon, Malya who had a part in taking down Vox, and Daliddar assisted in the slaying of Ragefire the night before the party! There also was another recent slaying of Ragefire that many EF'ers were involved in. Please congratulate Qural, Ursi, Sindee, Berina, Ashmael, Karmyn, Skynight, Rivin, and Rathgard for also being recipients of the coveted Dragon Slayer Medallion!

The Rescue Medallion is given to members who are successful in pulling corpses out of extremely dangerous places. Chastisy has been awarded the Rescue Medallion for her assistance in corpse runs on several occasions.

The Benevolent Tradesman Medallion is awarded to those who put their trade skills to good use for the guild. Thallus has earned this award through fletching nightmare bows for the guild.

The Good Conduct Medal is given to members who continually show selflessness and kindness to other members. These guildies are a blessing to have among our ranks. New recipients of the Good Conduct Medal are Sindee, Boffle, and Valathia.

A belated congratulations to every award recipient and promoted Fellowshipper! And keep yer eye out... cuz next time will be handing out some EPIC Medallions! Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Xzii and Ursi have completed their Epics... and I'm sure there are more to come!

5/08/03 - XZII AND URSI BOTH OBTAIN THEIR EPICS SUNDAY NIGHT!

Xzii's raid was first. We had an amazing mass of participants from EF, COS, and Rascals for the raid on the General in Kithkor. We even had a much appreciated guest appearance from our friend Polyx... All kinds of good loot dropped and Tawindy from CoS won the roll on a nice RMB for her guild. Gratz CoS. We spawned and killed the General 3 times back to back so a Rascals rogue and another rogue could also get epic piece components! I know the rogue from the Rascals also has his epic after this.

After this epic raid, we ran to SF. Thanks to EF, PB , CoS, and IL we dropped that pesky Rage and his human form like a bowling ball on a pillowcase. In one of the most entertaining displays of overkill of all time, Ursi got her epic piece no problem! Gratz to Rathgard who picked up a plasmatic priest robe from the human form - one less part of his epic he'll have to do...
