In the dark mists of time, a brave band of heroes came together with common cause. Those eight were; Kiranian, Lionheart, Pag, Graven, Baxter, Momolo, Dez and Alone. United they fought many battles, travelling the length and breadth of the realm - seeking justice and fighting with honour against those enemies that would stand against the glory of Midgard. After innumerable victories together, they journeyed to the mighty capital of Jordheim. In the great hall of the high citadel they each swore an oath of bonding and chose as the symbol of their union, the White Rose.
The White Rose stands for purity of thought and deed. Honour in battle. Compassion and a tireless love for the mighty realm of Midgard. These are the founding concepts upon which all members of the guild seek to excel themselves. A tireless tradition which continues on to this very day.
Originally Lionheart directed activities of the guild. Under his guidance and wisdom, uncountable victories were had. It was during this early age when the great realm wars had first begun, that Merlin executed a devious plan with his minions - and Lionheart mysteriously vanished on the battlefield. His loss was a great sadness, and to this day his exact fate remains unknown.

Lionheart was sought by all for a great time, but the enchantments of Merlin had been so efficient as to leave no clue as to his whereabouts. After secret council with the scholars of Fort Atla, it was decided that another should be gifted with the mantel of leadership, and so it came to pass that Kiranian was named guild mistress.
After the reformation, the order of the White Rose truly began to bloom. Organisation and communication has put the order at the very forefront of siege warfare, and many heroes of the realm have been drawn, and felt the call to the banner.
The White Rose continues to shine and grow. With a glowing destiny ahead, the order is set to lead the way into the golden age of Midgard - and all those who rally beneath the banner can be assured a seat at the high table in Valhalla.
