Thank you for your interest in LoV (Legends
of Valhalla)
of The Forgotten Lands of Ultima Online.
The Throne Room and Smithy
LoV was born in August of 1095 on The ImagiNation Network. LoV was initially formed as LoVers of Vampires at a time when Bats and Vampires were our constant companions in the volcanoes of Yserbius. When the volcano finally erupted in a flaming mass of molten lava and created horrendous spawns of billing monsters and destroyed our beloved Ranger Retreat, our band of adventures wandered aimlessly, moving through many different lands, stopping for a time in Illusia and Empiriana and exploring the dungeons and forests of The Realm. But still they were not satisfied, there had to be something more. Finally, the travelers came upon a new and exciting place and the Guild is now looking to conquer the untamed territory of The Forgotten Lands of Ultima Online and have converted their name to Legends of Valhalla (due to their occasional bouts with death, but always being heroic).
Having gone from a roster of over 100 members to our current much
smaller group, LoV is beginning to reform on TFL. Our most loyal members have stuck with us and followed us to these new lands and are members that have been with us since the beginning of time.
MerlCat, Princess of LoV, has been a member since the Guild was originally formed. When MaidMarie took a new adventurer under her wing and gave MerlCat the responsibility to teach and train this new Ranger, a friendship and bond formed and eventually MerlCat and McGavin were joined in marriage. Due to their loyalty and dedication MerlCat and McGavin were promoted to Princess and Prince in June, 1096.
Dementia, the Crazed Duchess, joined us in December, 1095 and was promoted from Naked Newbie to Huntress in January, 1096. Because of the LoVe that grew in all of us for her, we welcomed her into the Royal Family in August of 1096 and presented her with the title of Duchess, which she accepted only under the conditions that she could remain a true Barbarian.
In February of 1096, LadyKate entered our little tavern and the men haven't been the same since. This little lady stole the hearts of all the big, brave warriors. But don't let her little size and quiet voice fool you, and DON'T get on her bad side. LadyKate was promoted to Viscountess in May of 1096.
In March of 1096, Ardimus was unearthed by MaidMarie from the evil underworld of gambling, loose women and corruption, and taking him under her care and watchful eye, trained him herself and brought him up through the ranks to become a Master Warrior. Don't ask what MaidMarie was doing in this deadly underworld to find and reform him, let's just say she was in disguise. YES! That's it. She was in disguise looking for new recruits!
Another of our long time members, WyldFyr joined us in March of 1096. Her willingness to help others brought her up through the ranks to be named Baroness.
Wulfgar, originally Queen's Champion, conquered MaidMarie's heart and married her in November of 1096 and on March 8, 1097, under the threat of being beheaded by Dementia if he didn't, became her King.
MaidMarie was and still is the original Queen of the Guild, crowned in August of 1095. After loosing the original King of LoV in the explosions that rocked the 'cano of Yserbius and destroyed Ranger Retreat, she dragged her ragtag group of warriors to other lands. She could only hope that her people would stick by her side during these terrible times and dream of some day finding her one true LoVe. When Wulfgar arrived in the same lands that MaidMarie and her LoVers had escaped to, he not only triumphed over the beasts of The Realm, but also melted her heart.
Although we are a very small guild right now, our hope is for LoV to once again become one of the largest guilds on the Shard. We are a helpful guild. Ask and if at all possible, we will help you. We are a non-Player-Killing guild, but if we need to defend ourselves or our other guild members, we will. We are not actively recruiting at this point, until we have ourselves more established and can offer our new members the LoVe, guidance and support that we all were nurtured with. That is NOT to say that we will not accept new members. We want to be better prepared to welcome new members with open arms, and overflowing treasure chests. We want to purchase a Guild house with enough room for the Slip 'N Slide and, with the help of our newest members, RPO and SuperNova, we want to make a home for LoV in The Forgotten Lands.

Our plans for the future:
TO HAVE FUN!!! We are probably the least serious guild out there. We are more a bunch of friends having a good time together. We want to build a town where we are self-sufficient. We want to have our own members becoming tailors, bowyers, carpenters or blacksmiths and supplying the needs of the other members of the guild, along with any weary travelers that may pass through our lands. We want to provide quests and games for all shard members with prizes for the winners. We want LoV to become known shard-wide for our helpful ways, our friendliness and our willingness to befriend all we meet, but most importantly for our goal to have fun!
We can be found frequently visiting the city of Moonglow, or fighting the skeletons and zombies in the Moonglow Cemetary. If you are still interested, come and sit with us, talk with us, play with us. Let us get to know you as you get to know us. Then we can see if LoV is right for you and if you are right for LoV.
MaidMarie, LoV Queen
Wulfgar, LoV King
Unfortunately, all great things must come to an end, and in October of 1999, MaidMarie and LordWulfgar surrendered their titles and were sent to live in exile in the land of Dereth far away from their friends. Forced to change their names, they can only hope that some day their friends will be able to follow their trail and once again rally behind them in these new and terrifying lands.
