Alliance For Valour: Our Fellowship Alliance of Honest Kinships Roster (Undergoing Revision)
You are the light of the world. A city upon a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a candle and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. ... The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! (Matthew 5:14-16, 6:22-23) ... LIGHT. Brightness, bright. AS. leoht, noun being perh. neut. of adj. WGer.; cf. Du. Ger. licht; cogn. with ON. ljome, gleam, Goth. liuhath, light, L. lux, luc-, G. Aeukos, white, auolaukn, twilight. Sense of window, as in acient lights, ME. Hence verb to light, which lighten is a later extension. Lightning is pres. part. of latter. Light-house replaced (17 cent.) earlier pharos (q.v.). (An Etymological Dictionary of Modern English by Ernest Weekly) Alliance For Valour also has founded a fellowship alliance of honest kinships that is so far only on the Brandywine and Landroval servers of Code Masters'-Turbine's Lord Of The Rings Online MMORPG. This alliance of kinships has the same philosophy as our kinship, just as you might expect, where each kinship in our alliance is considered to be equal with each other. Our kinship allies are honest kins where the officers of our kinship and theirs have agreed to be allies and help each other whenever it is feasibly possible to do so. Our kinship allies must conduct themselves honorably at all times just as we must be just as honorable at all times. Our alliance of honest kinships shares an in-game user created chat channel with each of our allies so that everyone from each of our allied kins can communicate with each other at all times. Our allies and us invite each other to special scheduled events such as parties, raids, competitions, kin meetings, etc. so that long term friendships can be forged and built up. Please note that our kinship and Valours_Elite alliance structure and leadership is a modified version of the Knights of the Roundtable in Camelot. For a player to join our kinship and a kinship to join and stay in our alliance, they must agree to the following rules. The purpose of the Bible verses here is to prove that our rules are completely just and fair.
Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments." (Matthew 22:37-40, NLT) Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tender hearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see that you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. (Romans 12:17-19, Ephesians 4: 31-32 NLT) Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin, for their hands refuse to work. If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need.(Proverbs 21:25, Ephesians 4: 28 NLT) If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded become wise; if you instruct the wise, they will be all the wiser. (Proverbs 21:11, NLT) Do not steal. Do not deceive or cheat one another. Do not defraud or rob your neighbor.(Leviticus 19:11,13a, NLT) Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither and they prosper in all they do.(Psalm 1:1-3, NLT) True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your hearts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and recieved from me--everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. (Proverbs 22:4, Philippians 4: 8-9 NLT) In addition to the information listed below and the other pages of our web site, you can find a lot more helpful information about LOTRO on our forums and our allies web sites to help you with class info, leveling, crafting, game zones, maps, instance guides, etc. Please Note: Due to several bugs with Turbine's my.lotro.com, game data web site kinship rosters and character data web pages on their web server have been known to be several weeks out of date or missing completely. In fact, Turbine's my.lotro.com has been found to show that kinships have been disbanded on their kinship roster web pages when these kinships are alive and well within the LOTRO game. Unfortunately, until Turbine fixes these bugs, the only way to to find accurate kinship or character data is inside the game.
