The History of Ironheart
Ironheart is a reborn guild with Makoshin leading the rebirth.
The guild was initially created by Artemetis and Motheye in ~2011.
At some point, Ironheart melted and recruits left. As for the actual reason, it is unknown.
As of late 2013, Makoshin was invited by Saetorath as a friend, and eventually promoted to Guild Master. With the help of the officer Solunaiku, recruits have flooded in and have made Ironheart pumped with life.
Goals and points of Ironheart
The point of our Guild, in my opinion and view, is to progress in gear, skill, and knowledge to further enhance our enjoyment of the game. I see the challenge and overcoming said challenge as the main source of achievement and enjoyment. Our rank requirements reflect some of these ideals.
Beyond this, we are also a community that would also like to simply socialize, not only among each other, but also with other guilds and players.
In conjunction, we intend to promote punctuality, self-sufficiency, teamwork, and being efficient in our time.
Like knowing what to skip over when looking at this giant page of text.
- Makoshin 
"Currently our main focus has been building up the gear and level of our [...] membership so that we can then efficiently earn surplus for guild purposes such as furnishings and increasing membership limits.
In other words, our guild is dedicated to general progression; once we build up ourselves, we will work on building up others [...]"
"[...] [We] want a large prosperous guild who generally get along well and play nice. Hence our focus is having fun (with each other).
- Lullzy 
quoted from a meeting.
Other authorities' opinions of the goals and points will be posted later.

The Guild Events have been moved to Ironheart (Guild) / Guild Events!
Rules, Policies, and Protocols
Most rules are not laid in stone, or what other metal that you would like to engrave it on.
However, the following rules are generally enforced:
- Begging for items, crowns, energy, or anything of the sort is not tolerated.
We want to be able to make sure that, as members of this guild, you are fairly self-sufficient when it comes to SK Currency and Items.- If you're having problems trying to get these things, simply find a way to circumnavigate it.
- Be aware that most guild-related things are logged instantly in the Guild Record. Inquiries as to what is logged exactly is easily seen in the Guild hall's guild record.
- Although the Guild chat is not archived, it is expected that everyone is to be mindful of what they are saying.
- Be respectful and patient with one another.
- Do not flood the Guild chat. If you are talking to another person when there is currently a lot of commotion, please privately talk to one another.
- If you will be gone for an extended period of time, please notify the Guild Masters or Officers. Otherwise, you will be asked to explain once you log on.
- There will be a guild list clearing on the Saturday of the last week of the month.
If you wish to not be removed from the guild, please log on or notify any authority.
If you are unable to log on to Spiral Knights, contact any of the authorities through outside sources.- People that will be removed are people that have not logged in within two weeks of that date, 8:00AM PST, or have not informed authorities of extended leave.
- The next date is March 29, 2014.
The general idea is simple etiquette among your guild members, and other players.
Failure to follow these rules will result in demotion; or in extreme cases, kicked out.
Protocols
Members are are encouraged to help each other through the trials of the clockworks as they see fit.
Taking advantage of other guildmates is highly discouraged.
Take note that members ranked higher than you may agree to help you, but are in no way obligated to assist you at any time.
They also reserve the right to refuse assistance to anyone provided a legitimate reason is given.
Furthermore, when assisting other guild mates, it is expected that the person(s) helping make their best effort to match both the level of gear and skill of the party being assisted.
It is in every guildmates' best interest to gain combat experience and learn how to fend for themselves in the clockworks.
It is our duty as guildmates to facilitate the personal growth of each individual's skill by holding back when necessary to give others the chance to learn for themselves on how to best fight and handle a situation.
In summation, when assisting others, take care not to do all the work yourself.< br/> When being assisted, take care not to take advantage of your fellow guildmate.
Requests from the Guild Masters and Officers to the Guild members
Makoshin's
- We are currently expanding the Guild Hall. If you could, please donate to the Treasury. A suggested amount is 2500 Crowns weekly.
- If you would like to apply for promotion, contact me and we will see/start.
- If I am currently not on and have need to speak with me, contact with mail.
- I would also like if you would tell me what times you are typically on, so events and/or meetings may be scheduled accordingly to everyone's times.
Have fun in the Clockworks!
Requests from Guild members to others
If you have requests, send mail to Makoshin so he can post requests here.
A Forum will be created later for this very purpose. In the mean time, this will be used instead.
Current Plans for Guild Hall Expansion 
As our Guild is, in comparison, new, we have made a plan to make the Guild Hall more appealing. Suggestions are welcome.
Our current decision with expanding the guild hall is to:
- Create 2 Balcony "cafes" with "radios"; one for both 2F Wings (Variable)
- Finish off the 2nd Floor with the 2F Central War Room. (27,000)
- Dedicate a room to be an Alchemy Room. (42,500)
- Create 3F West Wing. (27,000)
- Create 3F East Wing. (27,000)
- Create Hunter's Lodge to start making trophies of accomplishment in the Guild Lobby. (475,000)
Total Crowns required, excluding variable amounts: 81,000 (Expansions) + Upfront Upkeep + 475,000 (Hunter's Lodge) + Variable Crowns.
Be aware that these are the plans if we are to make the amount of crowns for each part. Patience is key to meeting these.
If 30 guild members were to donate 2,500 Crowns weekly, that would be 75,000 Crowns. Enough to cover most of the goals above and at least 3 new furniture weekly when decorating.
If you would like to find out more about the prices, please consult the following:
Materials to save for furniture 
Adding materials right now is not pertinent, but adding a little every once in awhile will make it easier once we come to that point.

- A mathematical/scientific study on how the defense points/bars from our armor actually work.
Albeit, Damage Reduction, as pointed out at the very beginning, is "Flat Damage Reduction" that scales depending on depth.
