( Cervantez's POV )
"Yes I will indeed be serving as the guildmaster…. As for the guild name, please register it as 'DarkSky' " Cervantez said, as the royal official completed filling out the guild registration document, officially establishing 'DarkSky' as a guild.
[ System Notification - Congratulations Player 'DarkEmperor' for having successfully established a state acknowledged guild ]
[ System Notification - Congratulations Player 'DarkEmperor' for becoming the first player in the game to establish a state acknowledged guild.
Rewards :-
+5,000 gold!
Do you wish to publicize this result?
Yes/ No ]
Cervantez received the eagerly awaited notification, along with a bonus of +5000 gold coins, effectively offering him a 10% rebate on the guild registration fees he had just incurred.
"Whew, I'm not broke anymore," Cervantez mused, feeling a newfound sense of financial security with the 5000 gold in his inventory, as just a moment ago he was reduced to a fortune of mere pennies.
Nonetheless, money did not matter right now as tapping, 'Yes' on his screen, Cervantez awaited the global announcement.
[ Global Announcement : Congratulations to player 'DarkEmperor' for establishing the first state acknowledged guild, 'DarkSky' within Terra Nova Online! ]
As the global announcement appeared on his screen, Cervantez took a moment to breathe deeply and smile.
The moment had come for the world to recognize the arrival of 'DarkSky'.

" A state acknowledged guild? What the hell is a state acknowledged guild? Even I'm part of a guild, but it's just a normal old guild… someone please explain-"
" DarkEmperor again? I swear him and 'TheBoss' monopolize like 60% of global announcements"
"A state acknowledged guild is basically a guild that is given rights equal to that of a lord, should they choose to govern a territory.
It's incredibly hard to be acknowledged as one as not only do you need an extensive social work background, but also insane sums of money and fame to be given a license.
It's next to impossible for a normal player to establish a state acknowledged guild, but I guess it's not impossible for DarkEmperor"

" Whoa- I had no clue establishing a state acknowledged guild was so hard! But I guess it's worth it if you can become administrators of territory with it-
Damn is DarkEmperor hiring? I wanna join the guild he founded for sure"
" The name, DarkSky….. is it a coincidence, or is this because the guild is co-founded by DarkEmperor and the player 'Skylion' who has been shooting up the rankings the last few days like a comet?"
The global chat became ablaze with discussions of DarkEmperor and the first ever state acknowledged guild, as everyone now wanted to establish one, just because DarkEmperor did.
Those who did not wish to establish a guild of their own, wanted to join 'DarkSky', as many players tagged Cervantez and begged him to put out an enrollment form for his guild.
On the very first day of creation, the DarkSky guild made all the waves that Cervantez hoped it would.

( The guild members POV )
The second Luke saw the global announcement, a soft smile spread over his face as this was the moment he had been waiting for a long time.
While him and Cervantez had never discussed the guild name, the fact that he named it 'DarkSky', combining elements of both their gaming names, touched his heart as he was extra grateful that he took this step.
A quick glance over the global forums told him that this was probably going to be the hottest topic for a while now, however, just as he opened his personal chat with Cervantez, to congratulate him, he was instead met with a guild invite.
[ Guild Invitation - You have been invited to join the guild 'DarkSky' in the position of the 'Vice Guildmaster'.
Current guild members - 1
Do you wish to accept this invitation?
Yes
No ]
Clicking 'Yes', Luke officially joined the 'DarkSky' guild, as he was automatically transferred to a guild chat, where his role was displayed as 'Vice Guildmaster'.
Soon, many more players joined the guild chat one after another.
[ Chief Mage Lysa has joined the guild! ]
[ Chief Assaulter Tor has joined the guild!]
[ Chief Tank Cola has joined the guild! ]
[ Chief Archer Jex has joined the guild! ]
[ Chief Scout Snoop has joined the guild! ]
[ Chief Craftsman Tony has joined the guild! ]
[ Chief Blacksmith VainKitty has joined the guild! ]
Before Luke could even congratulate Cervantez in private, many guild members joined one after another, each with a unique designation that described their role within the guild in the best way.
" Welcome all! As promised, the guild that I had envisioned has finally been established and I'm proud to say that I have completed gathering the core team that will be the future cornerstones of this guild.
First and foremost, the vice guild master Skylion. He is someone who holds authority, second only to me in this guild and is an unparalleled warrior, leader and player.
If you have doubts regarding anything and I'm not available, he will be the one you should approach.
After him, all the rest of you are equal, but since you have not met each other yet, let me give a brief introduction of all members.
Lysa is a mage studying at the royal mage academy and is in my opinion the best mage in the game currently. In the future, she will be our AOE support in dungeon runs and will be the leader of the mage division of this guild.
Tor is the chief Assaulter. Being trained by the Orc Chieftain Khumkatutuk, Tor is learning to become a warrior that's unlike any other human and he is the one who will lead this guild from the front in future battles.
Cola is our chief Tank, training under a Expert Knight and is a damage and aggro taker. He's slightly shy, so treat him with kindness.
Jex is currently training at the Royal Ranger Academy, he's the best archer in the game by far and will be this guild's long range sniper/support.
Snoop is the head of information and scouting, while Tony and Amanda( Vain Kitty ) will be the economic backbone of this guild.
While new members may come or go, this will be the core structure of the guild, the people with whom I wish to write the history of DarkSky with.
So let's all get along-"
