Guild Lore
Everlasting Sacred Path [ESP] is a guild doing its best to live up to the name "Everlasting." Born as a Diablo guild in 1995, the guild progressed through several other games before disbanding for a number of years. However, enthusiasm for Guild Wars brought the guild back into activity. Since its rebirth as a Guild Wars guild, ESP has been gaining momentum. In fact, the guild has created a complex roleplaying back-story, depicting the history of ESP in the Guild Wars universe.
The lore of ESP begins with the nomadic tribes of Tathata, who started out as a collection of disparate clans. Unified by divine influence and the emergence of strong leaders, the Tathata evolved into a force to be reckoned with. Three deities came to be of central importance to the clans. The goddesses-Ahnika, Talaria, and Cerydias-brought a simple message. They wanted Tathata to become a peaceful nation.
The first leaders of Tathata included Brennus, Asperanza, Kiria, and Karuna. Through the acts of those figures and the guidance of the three goddesses, a guild was born. One of the tenets of the guild is that change is inevitable and always progresses in a cycle. Thus, after every period of progress, slow decline is inevitable. Indeed, Tathata slipped back into chaos and the people were scattered once more.
While it seemed the guild had vanished without a trace, the enduring vision of the goddesses remained intact. Eventually, the reemergence of Karuna sparked a new rise in prosperity for the Everlasting Sacred Path. Now that the guild has reformed, new lore and new character stories are being added to ESP's background.
ESP currently has 60 members in Guild Wars. Active in every aspect of the game, the guild enjoys missions, GvG battles, and Heroes' Ascent. The relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere is casual, but includes some simple rules based around common courtesy and respect.
Through weekly guild meetings every member has the chance to add their input into the future direction and activities of the guild as well as hear news regarding all of the latest events. When it comes to recruiting, ESP is always open to the prospect of new applicants. The guild looks for mature individuals who enjoy roleplaying and wish to be a part of a well-established, long-living guild.
The Everlasting Sacred Path plans on remaining an active force in Guild Wars for all future expansions, and may expand into other games in the future. The central, everlasting goal of ESP is the creation of real friendships.
