the Cult of Xen

Well the framework is up for the Cult of Xen guild page. Should be getting with Xen today to talk about design and layout. But for the time being we just have a placeholder up. Give it about 2 weeks and a full php site with logos, colors, forums, news, and gallery should be working.
Introduction:

Born from the death of our enemies the Cult of Xen is a World of Warcraft Horde guild.

The Cult of Xen has been many guilds in the past, but one thing has always been with us; the friendship and play style. We are a number of real life friends that all met working in the computer industry or playing Asheron's Call. It was on AC's Darktide server that we first showed our heads under or within many guilds, but always together. After three plus years of playing AC most of us moved on to other MMO's like DAoC. Again we heard the call and formed The Stonecutters in AC2 again on the Darktide server. It was there that The Stonecutters lead a powerful guild of over 600 members. After we saw the game (AC2) not going in the direction we felt was "good PvP" some of the cores moved on to other games like Planetside and Shadowbane.

Currently the Cult of Xen is forming and running what is going to be a small Cult of Horde guild for Blizzard's up coming World of Warcraft MMORPG.

World of Warcraft History

Ever wonder how the world in World of Warcraft was created, or how the Burning Legion invaded. Well wow.warcry has a history page full of stories and timeline. For any soon to be beta player this is a must read.
In the ruined palace gardens of Lordaeron's Capital City, Archimonde's pet Dread Lords meet to discuss their future plans for the Scourge. Balnazzar, Detheroc, and Varimathras are unaware of the Legion's defeat at Mount Hyjal, and having not heard from Archimonde in months, they are starting to get anxious. Detheroc and Varimathras argue that they should abandon the Scourge and return to the Nether, but Balnazzar holds firm, believing that Archimonde will contact them, and that they must remain at their posts. As the meeting winds down, the garden's gates are smashed open, and Arthas approaches the Dread Lords.

You'll find the rest of the story here.
