The Night Owls Lore and Legend
Tales have been told of the legendary clan who thrived even before the great crash on the Cradle. This clan honed the fiercest warriors with the sharpest of blades and quickest of feet. These creatures tamed the lands and built magnificent ruins, their hearts chilled with the cold winds of determination. However, Lord Vanaduke of the Firestorm Citadel had other intentions of grasping claim of the legendary clan's territory. The poor warriors were no match for Lord Vanaduke, and the fiery lord took his rest deep in the Core of Cradle. It wasn't until long after the great crash when the Spiral Knights began to notice their distinct and personalities that made them different. They were determined, brave, strong fighters who one day became SnowClan, a new clan of knights intent on gaining back their land and one day vanquishing Vanaduke once and for all. One graceful leader with wings brighter than one-thousand suns stepped forward to speak with Lord Vanaduke one day, weapons aside. She spoke with a whisper softer than the sweetest sound. "Lord Vanaduke, rest now. Our time of war is over for now. May You and SnowClan sleep for many a generation until the owl's 'hoo' waketh your truest power." Grabbing her mighty sword, the great SnowClan leader was able to place a curse on Lord Vanaduke, eternally weakening his state from his original might. However, Lord Vanaduke was crafty, constructing a monstrous clone of himself hidden deep within the darkest shadows... Darkfire Vanaduke.
Many eons passed. SnowClan disassembled. Many have tried to defeat Darkfire Vanaduke, many either failing or going missing forever... But has SnowClan really gone? Will the "owl's hoo" ever be strong enough to defeat the mighty Darkfire Vanaduke in the darkest depth of Cradle and avenge SnowClan? It is up to us, Night Owls, to show him what we're truly made of!
Note: The story written above has nothing to do with the main Spiral Knights storyline. It is made up. There are no spoilers and there are no changes to the actual gameplay storyline.
Brief Overview
Hello, and welcome to The Night Owls, the BEST variation~! Before we get started, we just want to say that our guild is still growing as it is rather new! This guild is primarily for players who game during their evening hours, no matter where you live. Though we are small, when there are others online, we are sure to take advantage of the amount of activity and engage in mission races and quizzes as well as other events. Many of our events and personalities as a whole branch off of a couple other guilds. A place made for nighttime fun, hop on in and join us~!

During he test, the officer may aid you in battle, but will primarily stand from afar to watch. This test is to make sure you can aid your fellow guild-mates in their battles. All minerals must be broken and all enemies must be defeated. Take into account that the more members in a party, the more HP the enemies have. There is no time limit. If the officer does not feel you posses enough leadership qualities, you will NOT persist in asking for promotion, as it may result in demotion.

Please do NOT ask for a promotion, as it may result in demotion or lack of influence over the guild.
- Guild Master
- [The talons pulling all the strings...]
- It was the lovely Alarune's idea to begin her own guild with the financial aid of a few others. She is not as active as she could be so she entrusted her guild management to Dahkura, the more active GM. As of right now, the option of being a Guild Master isn't available as of right now and may not be.
Notable Members
- Guild Masters
- Alarune- Kind and generous, a natural born leader with a delightful slight touch of sass. She's an absolute delight to game with, even though she is rather inactive. Liking to keep to her own group of friends, she's a great GM to be friends with.
- Dahkura- Previous officer of Devilite Inc. Although a little on the naive side, (okay, a LOT on the naive side,) she is a rather generous gamer and very social. Likes to do many of her own missions solo, but, when not busy, is willing to help out anyone in need and will even donate without second glance.
- Current Officer(s)
- Doukutsu - Very knowledgeable and sociable officer, a previous officer of Devilite Inc, promoted for his brilliance and good decisions. Ever have a question about life? He will surely be there to answer it.
- Silofire - You ever come around someone at random and they turn out to be a totally amazing person? Silofire is your guy for runs, as he is very skilled in FSC (Firestorm Citadel) as well as other depths. He is a delight to be around, anytime.
- Yanda - Most excellent gunman, able to even solo The Gauntlet without getting hit once. He is a very kind member and quite humorous, and a good friend of many in The Night Owls. We're glad to have him as one of our stronger officers.
- Laurenceguy- More timid veteran of the guild and long-term friend of Dahkura's. He is very dependable in runs and is usually up for assistance. He is usually quite versatile with his gear an in his runs. A delight to be around and we are glad to have him.
- Current Veteran(s)
- Parxie- Not the best fighter, Parxie is dependable and loyal to anyone he makes friends with. He is funny to joke with and always makes chats in-game VERY interesting.
- Knivesy- (Inactive) Promoted for assistance with guild funding. Also Dahkura's secret rival~
Guild Rules
Of course there are going to be guild rules. What do you think we are, a buncha "WHO"ligans? HAHA. Hhaahahahhhaa. H-hhhaaaa.... Follow these rules.
- Have a good attitude. We are a very nice bunch, some or more with a darker sense of humor though. Know your limits and have fun.
- Be Mature. Come on, now. No harassment or fan-trolling. You're better than that. Have respect for your guildmates.
- Be Active. But I mean, how could you stay away from someone as great as us~?
- No begging. Asking for help to get something is one thing. Excessive begging will result in a warning. There is a difference between begging and getting the help you deserve. We are generous enough anyways.
- No illegal activities will be tolerated. (i.e. scamming)
- If there are any members harassing you, try to take care of it in Personal Messages, not Guild Chat. You can swear at them all you want there~
- Watch your language.
Kicking and Reinstatement
Sometimes people get on our nerves and simply don't want to follow rules, so unfortunately, we must remove them from the guild. There is a way to get back in though. We believe in second chances.
- Be patient. You'll be back sooner than you think. Enjoy your freedom~
- Do not repetitively leave and rejoin the guild. This tampers with our numbers and shows that we have a lack of backbone trying to keep our members intact.
- Ask a guild master or officer what needs to be done for you to be reinstated.
- Depending on what you were removed for, the length of exile will be determined upon such.
Permaban is a last resort and we will usually never have to get to that point, however, expect reluctance if your warnings are frequent.
Events
We're a rather small guild, so events don't happen too often. We only try to plan events when a majority of the active players are online and not busy. Our current events consist of:
- Races and Bets
- Quiz Shows
- Random Raffles
- GvG Events (Once we get more good PvP members~)
Guild History
- From the words of Dahkura.
"Ah good lord, the fun I have had on Spiral Knights in my old guild, Devilite Inc. I have to thank Alarune for bringing me to this game in the first place many moons ago. If not for her, none of this would be here today. As thanks for the experience, I decided to branch off of Devilite Inc. to run The Night Owls with her to not only make more people happy, but to better myself as a leader. True, parting was difficult and a few people bashed me for leaving, but everyone got over it because there was no turning back. I'll never be "glad" I left, but I am glad that I get to have a new experience with Alarune and lead a guild with the knowledge I got from knights like Sirthomasrb and Jedcpf, Kurzatem and Biolover, Instant-Noodles, Blitzter, Yanda... I could go on for days naming everyone. Hopefully I can help out with turning this guild into something more than a game, but an adventure~!"
Guild Alliances
- Since we are new, we don't have any alliances yet, however, some of the members of our guild expect you to be kind to Devilite Inc., whereas The Night Owls would not be here today if not for them. Treat any members with respect~! -Dahkura
