Eardstapan was founded in late 2005, early in Kirin Tor's history as a server, by Anhage, Vitruvius, Magyar, and a few others (including one of Kjallstrom's alts). Anhaga, who was studying Old English at the time, was particularly taken with the poem The Wanderer, and formed a guild around its ideas of exile and honor, sending out a call for the misfits and orphans of the Horde to bind together under Eardstapan's banner. Never a particularly large guild, Eardstapan did help quite a few folks to get themselves leveled up while having some fun--other notable members have included Akayuka, DrakKTor, and Du'jaabi. For a while, the guild was a notable presence in World PvP, with members often dropping whatever else they were doing to answer WorldDefense channel calls, and were highly visible with their fire-work studded initiation and promotion ceremonies that took place in the Orgrimmar Valley of Spirit. They took part in a number of the epic storylines that occurred in Kirin Tor's earliest years, such as the disappearance and recovery of Proctor Sesobael. In addition, along with the Poor Sages of Lordaeron and Facta Non Verba, Eardstapan was one of the founding guilds of the Intercontinental Coalition, Kirin Tor's original RP guild alliance. While still a functioning guild, Eardstapan now has very few active members; the only one who can still be seen around with any regularity is the guild-mistress, Anhaga.In Character:
At the heart, Eardstapan is a group committed to defending the Horde from all threats-- not only the outer threat of raiding Alliance and the Burning Legion, but also inside threats from elements within the Horde who pursue their own gain with no regard for the cost to others. Many members are loners who walk solitary, requesting aid only when they aren't able to finish a task alone. At their height, they were zealous in their vengeance against those who wronged them or other Horde, but as their numbers have dwindled, the remaining members have grown a bit apathetic in the face of overwhelming odds, feeling that useless and doomed action is more dishonorable than inaction. As a group, they have a deep and abiding sense of honor and fairness, and do their best to give aid to those who need it, even when the one in need might normally be considered a deadly enemy. Members come from all races of the Horde; they judge others by their actions, not by their birth (or re-birth, as the case may be).
