is a mature raiding kinship on the Gilrain server.

Founded November 25, 2007 The Damned was started out of a desire for end game content and its spoils. Unable to find what it was we sought in the kinships we belonged to at the time, a decision was made amongst long time friends to form a kinship for ourselves and for so many who felt as we do. A large risk was taken, as so many kinships start and fail the same way but we welcomed the challenge.

Together, the founding members of The Damned sought out other like minded players and brought them into the ranks. We worked hard and learned together, finely tuning tactics and strategies. More rapidly than we had ever hoped for, our dream became what it is today. Not only have we become some of the finest raiders but we have made bonds of friendship. Bonds of family. We have had our tough times, our problems our fights.  We are not perfect, but a finer kinship I could not wish for, filled with players who care not only for the kin as a whole but for one another as people.

The Damned recruits players level 40 and upward. The only low level characters in The Damned are alts. We are not your basic crafting, questing, hold your hand and drag you through it all sort of kinship. Thats not to say we wont help you. Of course we will, but our main focus is on the end game content, and that is where we would like our members' focus to be as well. The Damned concentrates on end game content and raiding in a fun and friendly atmosphere. We love to have a good time, but we are very serious about our raiding and what we expect from our members.

The Damned is comprised of mature people over age 18, but we have been known to make exceptions for people slightly (and I do mean slightly) under age 18 under extreme circumstances. We do this on a case by case basis and reserve the right to accept or refuse any application we see fit.

Some of our raid accomplishments include server firsts on Watcher 2.0, Watcher 3.0 and the Turtle raid as well as Server second on clearing Dar Narbugud. Although these accomplishments are important to us, it is more important that we enjoyed the raids and we did them as a family.

We are currently enjoying all of the content in the Siege of Mirkwood and spend alot of time doing the 3 and 6 man instances there and in the 12 man raid in Barad Guldur.

There are all sorts of stories and rumours across Gilrain about The Damned, about me, about who and what we are all about. All I can say is that if you don't know me personally and you've never been a member of The Damned... well... you get what you pay for.

Aside from our raiding we grind traits and deeds together, we occasionally visit the moors as a kin or skirmish in large groups and while we are indeed a raiding kinship we try to have casual events like scavenger hunts occasionally to ensure that our kin members not only get their end game spoils but a hearty laugh as well.

We welcome all new challenges and rise to meet them. We welcome new members and expect that they will rise to the challenges with us. We pride ourselves on our teamwork abilities and our constant quest for "the next thing".  Some people call us "Elitist" I call us "Focused and Determined". The dedication and determination of this kinship's members and its officers proves fruitful to say the least.  We do not suffer fools lightly and we do not tolerate blatant greed, disrespect or underhanded behaviour. 

We hope you enjoy your stay in our home on the web.

See you around Middle-Earth!
