[TOP] Divisions Divisions divide the guild by skill and help each other train and such. Your divisional leader is your division Lord. The Lord should be able to answer questions as well as help you find places and techniques where you obtain the best skill gain. Knights - A knight is a member of K*S that excels in Melee Combat. K*S Knights prioritize Swordsmanship, Fencing, Tactics, and Parrying as well as strength and dexterity. These are not rules only guidelines for being a Knight. Notice Healing is not necessarily a Knight based skill in K*S. Knights in K*S normally play the important role of being a powerful wall for non-melee members. Mages - A mage is a member of K*S who relys on Magery as their primary combat skill. K*S mages normally chose Magery, Resisting Spells, Wrestling, and Evaluating Intelligence. Many mages also use Provocation and Taming as secondary skills. Mages tend to be the most powerful characters of UO at high levels. The role of Mages in K*S are to heal melee Warriors as well as kill opponents with magic. Clerics - K*S's first specialty class, Clerics in K*S must specialize in Mace Fighting and Healing, those are the requirements. Many Clerics also use magic and a secondary melee skill. Clerics in K*S represent very strong and noble warriors who try their best to heal and help those in need. In battle, K*S Clerics will fight with the mighty mace as well as heal the fellow melee Warriors in the front line. Rangers - A ranger is a member of K*S who is proficient in "rustic" woodsman type skills may choose this division. Rangers are the heart of "support" type characters, their specialties could be Archery, Animal Taming, Animal Lore, Healing, Veterinary, and/or Bardic skills. The role of a K*S Ranger in battle is to aid the others in battle with helping front liners with direct help (archery) or sending their tamed animals into battle; also provoking monsters and such to take the heat off of the party. Titles of "Tamer" and "Bard" (still actually Rangers) will be given to those who go the extra mile with these skills. Tamers and Bards will have slightly different quests for promotions. Occupational - An occupational member is someone who specializes in "Utility" skills. They excel in Mining, Tailoring, Blacksmithy, Tinkering, Bowfletching, Lumberjacking, Scribing, or Alchemy. Some of these members may possess a variety of these skills. They are typically at the higher end of the contribution scale and help the guild out by creating items that the guild is in dire need of.

[TOP] Squads Squads are a smaller group of K*S members who represent formal hunting parties and typically work on strategic battle plans. The members of your squad will work one-on-one with you training and hunting. Squads are very important to the internal organization of the guild. The more squad loyalty that exists the better the guild will function and the better your UO experience will be. You must be a Level 3 member to start a squad and a Page member to join one. If you are in a squad it will be represented in your title by a two-character abbreviation after your title: "Page, PC". When you start a squad you are then the leader of that squad and may organize it as you wish -- a squad website is nice to have. Squads may be no bigger than (# primary members)/(# of squads). If the number of squads decreases, which may put other squads over the limit, they may not accept new members until they are again below the limit. [TOP] Division Lords There will be only one Lord per division. A Lord may be physically challenged once a month by a person holding a Level 6 title. If the challenger wins, the current Lord must give up his title and be demoted to a Level 6. The Paladin 'Lord' is known as the 'Paladin Champion'. If there is no Lord in a particular division, a Level 6 rank must perform a quest (to be decided by the Senate) for that person to assume the Lord position. Must be Vanq. Please note. In the battle for Division Lord, the loser, be it Challenger or Incumbent, will not lose rank, but must complete the 5 Vanq quests, before being eligible to challenge the current Lord. [TOP] Secondary Characters (Squires) Every (R)eal (L)ife person may only have one primary character that can gain levels in the guild. Other characters may join the guild but will forever remain Squires of your primary (i.e. Roger Gray’s Squire). Secondary character may not formally join squads. In order to more accurately reflect our numbers, you are limited to five Squires in addition to you primary character. However you are allowed over five squires, but they are subject to a senate approval. [TOP] Elder Elder is a title given to those members who have been with K*S for one full year. To be an Elder in your division, you must have reached Level 6 rank in that division. Once this character has become an Elder (subject to a Senate vote), a huge party is thrown in honor and you may choose another character (if you wish) to become your primary character with your rank at base. Elder characters may remain squad leaders and can still be in the Senate. [TOP] Crafting Committee The Crafting Committee, led by the Quartermaster (or Quartermistress), is in charge of making sure the guild and its members are supplied with any craftable items they need. Any requests should go directly to the QM, who then assigns the craft Heads with finishing the project. The craft Heads then can contact any other crafters in the guild to help them fill the order. If less than five members represent a certain craft, then the QM will act as that craft's Head. [TOP] New Member Committee The New Member Committee (NMC) is in charge of accepting new recruits and making sure these new recruits understand what the guild is about. Each new recruit will be interviewed by the Head and Co-Head of the NMC (and possibly other experienced K*S Members). These members will then decide within three days on whether to accept your membership. Thereafter, upon being accepted, the new recruit is under the guidance of the New Member Committee and will be assigned a mentor. The mentor and the NMC Head will be responsible for the new member during their two week probationary period. New Initiates can only be promoted by the the Head or Co-Head of the New Member Committee. You will not have full voting membership rights until you reach base rank. Mentors are responsible for spending two-weeks with the Initiate to make sure they understand how the guild works and to introduce them to other members of the guild, have them attend one guild meeting, and to ensure they register on the forums and post an introductory post about themselves. [TOP] Guild Meetings General guild meetings are held every Tuesday at 9:30 pm eastern time at the K*S tower to discuss whatever is going on with the guild. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is nice to see as many people there as possible. (Please see the book on meeting etiquette.) Senate meetings are held on Sunday evenings at 9:00 pm eastern time. Senate meetings are for Senate members only, except in certain circumstances. Most squadshave their own meetings also every so often. These are usually open to newer members who are shopping for a squad to join. During the summer season, K*S does realize that people are busy, so the guildmeetings are change from weekly to bi-weekly. This change was made on May 9th, 2006, and the new rule was effective on May 16th until August 22nd, 2006. [TOP] Dress Code All that we ask is that you wear an olive-colored cloak to all major guild functions (a dye tub with the appropriate color is located in the guildhouse). This is not strictly enforced, but is a good way to 'show off' to people who don't know K*S. Some squads may have an additional dress code for their members. Also, please remove any helmets and dress appropriately during guild meetings. [TOP] K*S UOAM Server UOAM is a FREE and highly beneficial tool that gives you a working map of Sosaria and allows you to see where all users are located at all times. It also provides the ability to chat with anyone in the server, whether you're logged into Ultima Online or not! Doubt it's usefulness only until you're in need of assistance! By simply selecting the map and pressing the space bar, a panic signal is sent to all users, alerting them to your position with a message and flashing directional arrows!

Also typing upon the map, if you have UO Assist also works, and bring up the chat window as well. Non UOAssist users can simply single click the map, and begin typing. A small chat box will appear with your text, and stay on top for ease of use. You can reposition the chat box as you like. The image is a picture of the Chat Box. Using the directions above when talking in Squads sometimes will want to make their own room for hunts, and competitions. If your squad would like one, please contact Raolin Darksbane, the UOAM Server Admin.
