Currently, the guild is being run by Rockerion, heide, and Hananiah. The Guild Council (including the HeadhunterZX, Can That Girl Buff Or What, and Weapons Master) along with the Initium Advisors form the core leadership group of the guild.

Creed

Initium is a friendly non-PvP guild. Honor, Integrity, and Honesty above else is what Initium stands for.

Rules and Regulations

1. Respect everyone in the game. This includes non-guild members. We don't need an entire guild angry with us because someone got to mouthing off to a member because they attacked you or whatever reason. If you have a problem with a player, just walk away.

In elaborating on respect there will be: No derogatory racist remarks. Everyone is the same in this game, we are all here to have a good time. No derogatory religious remarks. Again, we are all the same here and religion should have no difference in how we play. No excessive swearing. We have all ages and well, some people just don't like it. Keep it to a bare minimum if not at all and let's try to avoid the F-bomb at all times. If you say something and another member asks you to refrain, please respect them. No sexual harassment towards guild members or other players in-game of on any forums.

If someone does have an issue with a player, come to a member of the Council and they will handle the matter as they see best.

2. No one will withdraw from the Guild Bank.

3. DO NOT BEG. This includes from players outside of Initium. Do not beg for gold, FSP, or items. If begging is reported, it will mean probation. It is fine to ask for a loan of an item or gold/FSP - but it will be considered a loan that you need to repay under the terms you had with the other player. The Guild and its Leaders will not be held responsible for loans/deals made within the Guild if they go bad i.e. member who loaned your item left the guild, taking your item with him/her.

4. Repay your debts and return any borrowed items to the guild store or players that you have borrowed them from. If items are found to be in auction house for sale that do not belong to you it will be dismissal from the guild. Exceptions are if items are there for storage i.e. at a price they will never sell at. Also note if you borrow items or item sets of another player they may need it back to sell for their own character so make a greater effort to increase your level to the next set range whilst wearing loaned sets.

5. PvP is highly discouraged. It is just a waste of your stamina and loss of xp for the guild. There will be opportunities for PvP with guild and alliance actions but other than that PvP is a just waste of stamina that could have been used for leveling/hunting.

6. Obey the rules of Fallen Sword. If a bug is encountered that may benefit you, do not exploit it report it. If you do not you will get banned from the game they may let you back in to the game but you will not be allowed back into Initium. Only one account is allowed on Fallen Sword. If you are found to have multiple accounts it will mean instant dismissal and a support ticket will be sent to the game developers to get you banned. Just a note that if you are the first to report a bug you get a big FSP reward.

7. If you intend to be offline post it in the Guild Forum. The forums are there for your benefit. If you are offline without posting for 7 days you will be placed on probation. If you are offline for 14 days without posting you will be kicked.

8. Do not ask for buffs unless you have enough stamina to make good use of them! You should have at least 75% of your maximum stamina (or more than 1000 stamina for Doubler) before asking for buffs. Remember that the person buffing you is using their own stamina to do so. Also, avoid asking for buffs that you have yourself.

9. A PvP attack on any Initium ally will result in instant probation and after the council has voted may result in dismissal from the guild. Exception is to clear a bounty with 10 stamina hits.

10. Bounty action rules :- Scenario 1: You are carrying a lot of gold and get attacked - get used to it try to carry as little gold as possible. Scenario 2: You receive a 100 stam random attack go post the minimum reward 10 hit kill bounty on the bounty board and let it clear naturally. Scenario 3: You are being repeatedly attacked by the same player or guild. Report this immediately to the highest ranked member online. This will then be dealt with by the council. Please note that a guild and alliance action may only be started by a guild leader or 3 or more council members. If the attacking player is from a listed Initium allied guild please contact a council member immediately. Do not try to contact their guild unless the person you contact is one of your own personal friends/allies. All matters which may affect guild relations may only be handled by an Initium Guild Leader or an authorized member of Guild Council. Any communication leading to the harm of guild relations or dissolution of alliance may result in immediate kicking from guild. In the event that you are attacked by a guild ally, do not issue a bounty until it is recommended by a Guild Leader or Council member who is willing to take that risk and responsibility of authorizing such retaliation against an ally.

11. Once you have attained a rank where the Guild Tax is already 25% guild donations are not mandatory. FSP donations are purely voluntary and will not buy you rank within the guild.

12. The most important rule of Initium ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guild Rank Structure

Guild Founder

There is only one Guild Founder, for obvious reasons. It is not considered as an exclusive title/rank in terms of authority or function, so the rank of "Inner Circle" was created to offer a second individual (or perhaps more as the guild grows) the same authority in guild final decisions.

Inner Circle

This rank is to be thought of and treated no differently than the Founder and was created in the event that the Guild founder may at some point be unavailable for any period of time. Inner Circle is the Title of all additional guild founders. As our numbers grow, there may be additional members to the Inner Circle. Any new members of the Inner Circle must first have been members of Guild Council as an order of progression and selected based on intimate trust, vestment in the guild, contributions and overall performance as a coincil member (participating in votes without excessive abstaining, etc.).

The Inner Circle consists of the following ranks:

Guild Founder

Keeper of the Laws

Acts as guild Judge and responsible for organizing all guild rules and ensuring that members understand those rules if they are expected to progress beyond a limited rank. The Keeper of the Laws is charged with the same authority as the guild founder. Decisions made by the Keeper of the Laws are final.

Chaotic Grand Master

Responsible for recruiting prospective new members and dismissing those who do not measure up to the expectations of the Initium. This is also to be thought of as the Chief Instructor of all guild Initiates and charged with the same authority as the guild founder. Decisions made by The Chaotic Grand Master are final.

Guild Council

There should be no more Guild council, than there are subordinate ranked members. The current ratio (unless voted for change) is 1:19, having nineteen or more ranked members below Guild council, for every one Guild Council member (not including Founders/Inner Circle).

Ranks above Guild Council will also act as council in making decisions and voting, but do not count against the ratio of Council members per regular member. These ranks above council do not gain added votes or leveraged authority in matters of voting, they still only count as a single vote in each matter.

Functions and decisions that are not subject to council vote include:

Executive decision (made by founders/Inner Circle, not put up for vote, which shall not happen often).

Promoting members to ranks above council (entry into Inner Circle).
