        To conquer without risk is to triumph without glory.
        -Anonymous

        That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
        -Friedrich Nietzsche


        Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of.
        And onto this, Conan, destined to wear the jewelled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow.
        It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga.
        Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!
        -Preamble


        Fire and Wind come from the Sky, from the Gods of the Sky.
        But your God is Crom, and he lives in the Earth.
        Once Giants lived in the Earth, Conan, and in the darkness of chaos,
        they fooled Crom, and took from him the enigma of Steel.
        Crom was angered and the Earth shook, and Fire and Wind struck down these giants,
        and threw their bodies onto the waters.
        But in their rage,
        the Gods forgot the secret of Steel and left it on the battlefield.
        And we who found it are just men.
        Not Gods, Not Giants, just men.
        The Secret of Steel had always carried with it a mystery.
        You must learn its secret Conan, you must learn its discipline.
        For no one, no one on this earth can you trust -
        not men, not women, not beasts.
        *lifts sword*
        This you can trust.


        Yes! You know what it is don't you boy.
        Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do.
        Steel isn't strong boy, flesh is stronger!
        Look around you.
        There, on the rocks, that beautiful girl -
        Come to me my child...
        *girl falls to her death*
        That is strength boy! That is power!
        What is Steel compared to the hand that wields it?
        Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart.
        I gave you this!
        Such a waste, contemplate this on the tree of woe.
        Crucify him.


        General: "..I fear my sons will never understand me."
        Messenger: "We win again"
        General: "This is good! But what is best in life?"
        Warrior: "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, the wind in your hair!"
        General: "Wrong!, Conan, what is best in life?"
        Conan: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women!"
        General: "That is good"


        Crom, I've never prayed to you before, I have no tongue for it.
        No one, not even you will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died.
        No, all that matters is that two stood against many, that's what's important.
        If valour pleases you Crom, so grant me one request.
        Grant me revenge, and if you do not listen -
        then the hell with you!

        News Post: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 : Burn Baby Burn!!! By Krawnik

        Normally we'd toss this on the shelf with our other videos.
        After all the trash talk from Divinus though,
        Ascendant proudly presents the burning of a battlekeep!

        Ascendant Vs. Divinus, 08-12-08





        Just to make it clear to the AoC playerbase - Ascendant is more than just a guild, we are a gaming community. We're not looking to be the "big, bad bully of Dagoth" by any means, but we will absolutely stand our ground when confronted. Talking shit to one of our members is tantamount to calling out our entire organization. We spend a considerable amount of time together sharpening our skills and working to better ourselves, so much so that we may very well be considered a virtual family.

        Just like in the real world - if you talk shit to my brother or sister, I'm not going say much before breaking your face.

        Morale of the story:

        Feel free to talk shit on the forums if you like... talk is cheap.
        Just don't be surprised when someone comes along that isn't going to stand for your trash mouth and makes you pay your tab.

        We're currently seeking a few good, active level 80 tanks.
        We're also looking for a few more Bear Shaman.

        I'd like to announce that the mascot role is filled though...



        ...everyone meet Oaky!
        He isn't much of a raider,
        but he's found a place providing entertainment for the team!
        To find out more about the adventures of Oaky
