Welcome Family and Friends...

Iron and Carbon
  These are the elements that create steel, whose secret was given to us long ago by the Lost Gods. Each exists independent of the other, but can be easily broken.  Only when they are forced together in the blazing heat of the smith's forge and tempered with the smith's hammer do they become something much stronger than they can ever be separately. 

Today, we find ourselves forced together by a splintered moon and a shattered world.  The cities and homes of the Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Frogloks, and Barbarians all lay in ruins.  All the good races of Norrath have flocked to Qeynos hoping for solace.  Even some members of the evil races have betrayed the Overlord to join our cause.  Independently, we were strong but not nearly strong enough. Only in our unity, forged in the chaos of our time and tempered with our steel and magic, will we be strong enough to face the darkness that threatens to devour all that is good.  We must stand together in Forged Unity against that darkness. 

Too much carbon and steel is brittle and easy to shatter; too much iron makes it soft and causes it to lose its bite. Our differences can make us stronger or make us brittle.  We must cast aside that which takes away our strength and focus ourselves on defending Qeynos and its citizens.  The hope of Norrath is in adventurers like us.

We cannot fail.

It is with that trust in mind that we form our guild.  It is named Forged Unity to recognize the challenging times under which it was formed, the diversity of its members, and as a testament to the strength that comes from our unification.  We welcome those with a noble heart to join us in our cause and we will vehemently protect ourselves from those who would serve their own selfish agendas.  We recognize that some of our close allies and friends may choose not to formally join our guild. The fight against Evil is not our fight alone. Therefore, our allies are most welcome to join us in our cause.  United, we will stem the tide of chaos and destruction that has washed over our world.  Together, we will bring peace and hope back to Norrath
