Alliance For Valour

Alliance For Valour: Valour Challenge

"One Alliance thru wisdom, to guide them. One Alliance sworn to valour thru fellowship. And in the darkness, light and mercy always find them!"

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ... No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. ... But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:19-21, 33-34) ...
VALOUR. F. valeur, worth, valour, L. valor-em, from valere, to be worth, to show mercy with wisdom, etc. Sense of value is common in ME. (An Etymological Dictionary of Modern English by Ernest Weekly)

Our Fellowship Alliance of Honest Kinships hereby invites you to join in our daily Valour Challenge to see if you can commit selfless actions considered to be attributes of valour within the LOTRO towards other players and not get detected for doing so. For, if you are found to have committed an attribute of valour then it is strongly suggested that you refortify your character's mailbox for the many rewards available from the Fellowship of Honest Kinships' Reward Chest as described below within the newly expanded list of Valour Challenge Deeds.

Do ya feel lucky ALLY? Do you think you can outsmart our valour informants? Well, Do Ya?

What has changed you might be asking.... Well!!! besides the new Valour Informant Deed....

The rate of donations and rate of honest kinships joining our alliance, there is currently no way to keep up with sending out all the alliance rewards to all those that earn them on a daily basis for helping others. The former Valour Deed Charter has been renamed The Valour Challenge Charter has been revised with the following changes:

The number of alliance valour deeds possible has been increased from 24 to 48 with plans of creating still more at some!

The number of characters assigned to solely carry and give out valour challenge rewards has tripled to 3. This is not counting the several other allies that store crafting mats for our newly created Alliance Crafting Faction to supply any alliance-folk that has need with gear for FREE!

Valour Challenge rewards will no longer be handed out once a week as was previously the case, but will now be handed out everyday with reward types that will depend solely upon which of the alliance war-chest reward bank characters are filled up by alliance donations!

No longer are valour rewards called Valour Deeds solely named after a specific attribute of valour, but will now be called Valour Challenge Rewards with additional Valour Challenge rewards specifically designed for folks who enjoy skirmishes, instances, exploration, crafting, etc!

Valour Challenge rewards will be named after the first alliance-folk caught earning a specific reward!

And now you might be thinking, what hasn't changed? .... WELLLLLL!!!!!!

Mercy with Wisdom always has been, is, & shall be the only true response to Valour! Repay Valour with Valour!
