EIDA

Founded in the woodlands of Perdan, this relatively new guild is just an attempt to make dueling the new sport of the East Island.

While relatively few nobles partake in dueling on long missions, this guild may change that, as participants are rewarded by in-guild renown (and the ability to take out gold against the guild when they become the guild champion).

Locations

In order to keep this page less crowded, the list of locations and function of each EIDA guildhouse can be found here.

Members and Their Duels

As the numbers of EIDA members grows, this page will become crowded. Anticipating such, we have a list of all EIDA Members and notable things that relate to them and the guild. Also found on the member list page, are links to the duel records of each member.

• The Member Registry

Also at the EIDA, we find tournaments to be grand ways of proving your abilities, as it is essentially a massive dueling contest. As such, there are some nobles that have merited ranks in the EIDA for there acheivemants at a tournament. We also have also started keeping tournament swordfight records.

While realm rules do apply, there are also rules for in-guild.

Membership

If dueling is not permitted in your realm, then do not join this guild. The guild can not be held responsible for any punishment your realm may give for dueling.

However, if your chosen realm has nothing against dueling, then feel free to join at any guildhouse. All you have to do is pay the initial 15 gold for the equipment and registration, and then be sure to pay your monthly 5 gold for the cost of equipment repair and upkeep.

However, membership can and may be revoked at any time. The reasons for this are as follows...

• Failure to pay monthly dues.
• Revealing guild memberships and rankings to non-guild nobles.
• Dueling til death.

Duels

As this is a dueling association, there are few limits to duels. However, the guidelines listed below should be followed.

• All in-guild duels require that both parties have proper equipment.
• Only duels til first blood are recognized by the guild.
• Duels til death are not permitted by the guild and may result in punishment.
• Duels against non-guild members will not count against a member's duel count. But such duels are allowed.
  • Duels til death are not permitted at all, unless a severe dishonor has been done against the person who requested the duel.

Crimes Against the Guild

There are something that are frowned apon by the guild. And the guild may call for it's members to rise up against a person or group. The following are such things that may provoke the guild against a party.

• Punishing nobles for being members of the EIDA
• Robbing or Destroying a guildhouse of the EIDA
• Punishing nobles for EIDA-sanctioned duels when the realm allows duels overall

Reporting your duel to the Overseers

It is very important that you remember these two things How to make your report and when to report. First off you should always send your duel report to all elders section of the message list, in a report format this will make it easier for the overseers to see the report and complete the nessary paperwork.

Who should report? The winner is responsible for the duel report. The reason fo rthis is beacuse even though it is possible for the winner to be wounded it is very unlikely tp happen. So it is teh winners responsibility to make the report for this reason and this reason only.

What should the report look like?

And here is an example of how it should look on your report.
