**The Idea**
The philosophy of the guild is as simple as it gets: we want to create a community. For years we've been observing how people in MMOs became isolated and treated other people as NPCs. We are not content with this fact and would like to spend time in an atmosphere of mutual respect and support.
Our main goal is 'growth' (aka progress) in the game in one group, side by side. Playing an MMO alone is like drinking alone - it gets the job done, but it's truly a sad success. What is 'growth' then? The answer depends on who you ask. For many people it may be high item level, finishing challenging dungeons, getting rich, maxing out professions, developing the stronghold or just spend some quality time on quality conversation with like-minded people from all over the world. No matter what your goals are - we've got your back!
Our ultimate philosophy is included in our motto: 'apud vos et pro vorbis' - **with you and for you**
**Theme**
The guild name and ranks are inspired not by the British Commonwealth, but on a Commonwealth that predates it - the Polish-Lithuanian union. A remarkable country for many reasons: not only it covered 10% of Europe, and was one of the few countries without aggressive and expansive politics, but also it was a true heaven for different nationalities and religions at a time. While stakes burned in Europe, refugees were welcomed in the borders of the Commonwealth. This freedom was protected by one of the most impressive cavalry formations in history - the winged hussars. Army that often won battles with 10:1 disadvantage and was undefeated for 125 years.
Those are the qualities we seek in the guild: a combination of strength and tolerance that may overcome the most powerful enemy.
**Current state of the guild**
