The name Shahrazad originates from 1001 Arabian Nights. This timeless collection of stories is a tapestry of magic, intrigue, honor and wit brought together by the storyteller Shahrazad. The background for these tales is provided when Emperor Shahriar discovers his wife has been unfaithful. He orders her killed and resolves to marry a new wife everyday and have her beheaded the next morning. Shahrazad, a young woman with courage, wit and beauty, decides to save the kingdom from the emperor's curse and marries him. Cleverly, after the marriage ceremony, she begins to tell Shahriar a story. Entwining stories within stories and concluding each with a suspenseful glimpse of the next, Shahrazad entrances the emperor, and he decides to spare her life the next morning. Ingeniously, Shahrazad avoids death for 1001 nights and gains the devotion and love of Shahriar.
We will be the embodiment of her stories. Our conquests will be of lore, and the stories we write shall be passed down from generation to generation throughout all of Norrath. Shahrazad's purpose is simple. Our members are here first and foremost to have fun and explore Everquest. We are not a required raiding guild. Real life will always take precedence over any in-game activity. It is also our belief that casual role-playing can enhance the gaming experience greatly. We understand however, many individuals are uncomfortable or unsure how to role-play in Everquest. Therefore, role-playing is encouraged and is always respected, but not required. We are friends and allies here accomplish quests, content, and exploration. We will move through game content, but not miss a chance to explore both old and new zones. We will always try to help everyone accomplish their ever-changing goals, whether they are the newest or most experienced guild member. The pace will be leisurely, but the focus will be on the next step. Everyone must adhere to the "play nice" policy set forth by SoE. We are all adults and should act as such. Try to resolve the problem without trading insults. If all else fails, remain calm and petition GM. Be an example of an adult. We will come to the aid of others and always be kind to those both in and out of the guild. If we hear or see someone yelling for help, we will assist him or her in anyway we can. If it's a quick heal, buff or otherwise. If they ask for our help or if they are running away on their last legs trying to zone, we will help them out. We will not stand by passively and let someone die. They will remember our kindness. We will be an example. Do things that are important ...things that matter. Perform random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty. |
