The following message was sent on the day of April 16th 2008 at 2:00 Am GMT.

Dear ArenaNet, My name is Kailden Jera and I am submitting this GotW Nomination on behalf of Blade And Rose [BaR] Guild and in the quality of ex-member and ex-leader for the respect of the memories and good times I spent with the members of this guild.

The Blade And Rose [BaR] guild was founded by Quintus Antonious and Germanus Octavius on May 10th 2005 and has grown in popularity over the course of it’s history. Quintus Antonious was indeed a respectable member of the community, as a true Colossus of Lore he inspired his followers as any great leader should.

With it’s Guild Hall settled in the Wizard’s Island, [BaR] proudly waves its emblem on pre-searing Ascalon grounds and the legacy involved in that area of the game. Surely as it proudly bears its emblem unchanged over the past few years, the crossed golden Sword and Rose in a grey background, which symbolizes both loyalty and friendship as the guild's highest ideals.

The Blade And Rose is aligned with the Unofficial Guild Wars fan site from it’s early days, and the community that those forums host has enjoyed several contributions delivered by the members of this glorious guild. [BaR] was a major force behind the organization of both Mursaat Rallies and is without a doubt one of the proudest guilds with the richest history Guild Wars has ever seen. And off course Quintus maked sure that the guild had a major influence in the study of the Guild Wars Lore and those interests still lives on with the new generations of members.

Neither focused on PvP nor PvE and Kurzick Aligned, [BaR] has a nice friendly environment with members aiming from all over the world. Frenquently [BaR] is seen in the front lines of the Alliance Battles in which they fight corageously for valor and recognition with their Alliance. And off course, [BaR] featured in the past several times in the GvG ladder and still makes efforts to claim the Halls of Heroes even if for a short time. I personally think, in my honest opinnion, that if there's a Guild deserving to become known and recieves their recogniton than that Guild is the Blade And Rose [BaR] Of course, the guild alone shouldn't be target of the spotlights alone. Their members are what makes the guild what it is and they too deserve some spotlight. Here are some of the names of the members who still make history within this Guild's Halls: Quintus Antonious, Founder of Blade And Rose and 1st Guild Leader Favored Profession: Mesmer Current Position: Guild Officer – Veteran Member “Never forget to check your references!”

Kailden Jera, 2nd Guild Leader of Blade And Rose Favored Profession: Necromancer Current Position: Guildless “Don’t mock me or I’ll turn you into Minion Fodder! I’m not kidding…”

Yert Nympher Favored Profession: ???? Current Position: Guild Officer And this end my article.

With my regards, Kailden Jera P.S. - Here are the contact information as requested in the Nomination page. Hope this helps with the decision.
