Dear applicants and everypony yet,
Our apologies from across the board if we haven't gotten back to you about your membership requests. Everypony is still welcome!; we'd just like to note that your application will be saved and placed upon a 'waiting list' sort of thing until we have the room to fit you. Again, sorry to keep you all waiting, but the clouds have leased their cover.
- Your faithful guild, <Knights Of Equestria>
Mane Information
We're a guild that has been around since the official release of Spiral Knights. While we are about the message of Love and Tolerance (and ponies), we here at the Knights of Equestria are proud to say that we are one of the longest running and one of the friendliest guilds to be a part of. We are, of course, are based off of the Brony community.
Goal
We aim to help advance any bronies in our guild, all the way from Tier 1 to Tier 3 and beyond. Ultimately, our final goal for a member would be to complete a whole Firestorm Citadel run. We've already seen many members, old and new, go from Tier 1 to pro-Vanaduke players. Those who have learned about our team-effort to defeat Lord Vanaduke pass their knowledge on to the newer players.
Along the way, we hope that you enjoy your time in the guild, and make many friends. As proven, friend-making is not just some silly nonsense, and there are some very kind-hearted members who are gems to know.

Songs
Mane Composer: Zettalux
- Cut by cut, fighting off a slag guard,
- Low on health - swallowing capsules pill by pill.
- Making sure the fire stays off me,
- Charging up my swings, oh such a thrill!
- Always gotta keep in mind my timing,
- Making sure my sword is bright and shining,
- I'm kiting, in F-S-C!
- -
- Head to boot, covered in jelly,
- Bomb or blade, don't you know your guild's on a crusade?
- Sporting up the Gran Faust's shadow damage,
- With a decent chance for a curse rampage,
- Gotta lock the party, Valkryie logged on,
- Even though I have a spot that's not gone,
- I'm taking on, the Jelly Palace!
- -
- Fighting is easy; for Snarbolax, something sharp,
- Vanaduke, something icey,
- Vog Cub Coat and Cap - do you think I'm too flashy?
- -
- Weak to pierce - perhaps a Flourish?
- Glowing eyes, why won't you just ever die?!
- Gotta find the keys for the two doors,
- Leaving wolver corpses on the floor,
- Even though my coat has U-V piercing,
- Doesn't keep their razer teeth from gnashing,
- I'm fighting, the Gloaming Wildwoods!
- -
- Limb by limb, hack by hack,
- Shield goes up, still intact,
- Shot by shot, aiming stilled,
- Sword and gun: a good build.
- And that's the art of the Guild!
- Twilight Sparkle: Now, the stars on my sword need to be technically accurate. Blizzbrand has a four star rating, not three.
- -
- Alch by alch, crafting items better,
- Deadline looms, don't you know the order, you can't shun?
- Even if the energy is costly,
- Got to get them all done by next run.
- Pinkie Pie, the barrel can't be too small,
- Wait until the bullets jam the gun.
- I'm welding them together!
- -
- Pinkie Pie: Don'tcha think my helm would be more me with some particles?
- Rarity: Well, I think...
- Pinkie Pie: Some horns?
- Rarity: Well -
- Pinkie Pie: DO IT!
- -
- Hour by hour, farm the stage!
- I got a Tri-Heart Pendant; make Valk rage.
- Fluttershy, your helm is unaligned,
- Rainbow Dash, armor's too inclined,
- Oh my gosh, this sword is too maligned!
- Don't forget, Applejack's bomb must grind!
- -
- Alchemy is easy, every guild member's call,
- Spending too much energy,
- Have to pick up the pace, Quicksilver is speedy.
- -
- Twilight Sparkle: That shield is Wise Owlite, not Grey Owlite.
- Fluttershy: Divine Avenger, please.
- Rarity: Ugh...
- Pinkie Pie: More shadow damage! Oh no, that's too much shadow damage. More CTR! Oh, less CTR. Oh wait, I know... Attack speed!
- Rarity: Attack speed?
- Pinkie Pie: Whose bomb is this?
- Rarity: Attack speed it is...
- -
- Rainbow Dash: ...What?
- Rarity: Aren't you going to tell me to change something, too?
- Rainbow Dash: No, I just want my sword to be... Cool.
- Rarity: Do you not like the sharpness?
- Rainbow Dash: The sharpness is fine, just make it look cooler.
- Rarty: Do you not like the weight?
- Rainbow Dash: The weight's fine, just make the whole thing... You know, cooler. It needs to be about 20% cooler.
- -
- Pinkie Pie: All my armor needs is some more red shards.
- Rainbow Dash: All we really like is shock resist.
- Twilight Sparkle: I am out of swordstones, can you spot me?
- Fluttershy: Basil doesn't have my recipe.
- Applejack: Even if you have to sell some CE,
- Everypony: Make sure that it comes with a good UV.
- Rarity: Got to balance out all of my rations,
- Remember, it's all in the lacerations!
- -
- Gun by gun, blade by blade,
- Level 10, an upgrade,
- Bomb by bomb, fused and armed,
- Blast by blast, does mass harm,
- And that's the art of the Guild!
A lot of time on his hooves: Dr. Derpenstien
- Espeonage: Three months of endless grinding, and tireless crusades!
- Zettalux: We slaughtered several thousand slimes, some wearing a toupee.
- Valkryie: But the heat we get is not enough, and these crowns are small, not gold.
- Unity: And even though I love my toast, this run is getting old...
- -
- Derpenstien: The time has come to go far in, to the depths of Tier three.
- But it's also time to leave behind Tier two and the Jelly King.
- How can I help - I'm new you see, what does Vanaduke do?

Our Members' Descriptions of the Guild
"Tornone" (User:Tornone)This guild is full of many wonderful bronies who will help and love you at any hour. Every member, including Valkyrie, will extend you a helping hand in anyway possible. Veteran members are more willing to loan out materials, crowns, and crystal energy if need be. All the members run off Basil listings no matter what the depth or stars of the item, and are happy to buy and send recipes to those who send them the crowns. The guilds are constantly doing runs, and are willing to help you get any tokens you need from a boss.
The guild does have a Skype group that is filled with its most active members. Chatting around in there, microphone or not, you can receive faster assistance, and get to know the guild better. The members laugh, cry, troll, rage, and make fun of Valkyrie. If you want the best experience with the guild, I'd recommend checking out the Skype group, even if you don't like Skype.
Knights of Equestria will truly help you get to tier five gear a lot faster than many of the other guilds, and it will make it a fun ride too!
"Valkryie" (User:Valivarre)Well Its interesting here. There are definiate clicks within the guild. There is the skype group which forms and shapes the core of the guild. Then there are the quiet people who are in the guild but do not reap the benefits of being here. Most of the members of the skype call tend to be online more and advance game wise faster. While the other members who are not skype able tend to wallow in the mud a bit; taking extra time to advance to the higher levels. Wether this is exclusion of members not wanted or social exclusion its hard to say. Often times I pressure guild members to join the skype call, so they can advance faster, make friends with the stronger members.
The more affluent members readily give away materials, loan out crowns or randomly assist with CE as necessary. There is no real requirement to share, however the guild is not an auction house for its members meaning that we cant openly sell materials. Members are encouraged to give Basil reports, I would personal prefer it is a guild requirement but its not.
Overall if interested in the guild to get maximum efficency in being with us, you must be able to take a troll, deal a troll, and sit in skype. The core players the ones online day after day, who can help you, train you, advance you are there.
"Blackwater" (User:Blackwater)
"Espeonage" (User:Espeonage)_
Oh man, cat planet, CAT PLANET
"Zettalux" (User:Zetta_Lux)I joined the guild when I was just a Tier 1 knight with my cobalt armour. Until then, I had to fend for myself and I had almost no knowledge of the game. That's when I came across Issy who was in the guild, "Knights of Equestria." Myself, being a fanatical brony already, begged him to get in. And I did.
I can honestly say that I wouldn't have made it to where I am now, without the guild. Not this fast. They've helped me through the game's milestones and beyond. They voluntarily gave me materials and such when asked, and I gladly paid them back. The guild is a great community and for any brony out there, I urge you to consider Knights of Equestria.
"Derpenstien" (User:Derpenstien)I joined this game because of this guild. Had it not been for them, I probably wouldn't be playing this right now. Had I started playing and not joined this guild, I would have lost interest in playing a LONG time ago. I don't come back to merely dungeon run to work towards my final set, I come because the members are great. Had it not been for them, this would be one of the MANY MMOs that is still festering somewhere in the recesses of my PC. Unlike those MMOs, however, all these people have made playing this game worthwhile. And maybe made it 20% cooler. About.
We help each other prosper, and have copious amounts of fun while doing it. You can't ask for a better deal. It's a win-win-win situation. You read that right. Three wins. A win for you, the guild, and the muffins. You'd be hard pressed to find another guild like this one.
And in case I didn't mention it before: Muffins. Muffins are always relevant. And delicious. Always delicious.
"Il-Munky-Il" (User:Munkypoo7)This guild is nothing short of awesome. For one, everyone helps everyone. Whether it be Tier 1 or 3, there's always someone free if there's ever required help. Everyone shares, if someone's missing an item, or needs a quick loan, it gets fixed instantly. Just as Pinkie sang: "You got to share, you got to care" it applies perfectly.
As for actual clockworks exploring, as others have attested, I can as well, teamwork goes a long way, and that's what we do. It's scary that in such a short time we've played we're taking on Vanaduke and hitting him with water balloons and actually beating him with somewhat of ease. Finding a better brony guild is impossible, even a better guild is impossible. Everyone here is super supportive and helpful.. that can't be stressed enough.
It's an honor to be here, everyone's so energetic and active, sure chat gets weird from now and then but it's always fun. Oh and we have a dedicated Skype set up so we can communicate at any point, which is especially useful for those water balloon fights with Vanaduke!
