Across the world of New Eden, many small groups of guild leaders convened together. They intended to learn more about the formal alliance function, and if they could find someone willing to go through with this deep-bond move.
But finding an ally whose goals and mentality aligned was not a simple task, which made everyone wonder how two prominent guilds like Paragons and Knights of the Sun had achieved the synergy. No one knew that the situation differed from their thoughts.
But amongst the top guilds, which had now gone from ten to nine, the guild leaders kept to themselves largely. Of course, that didn't preclude them from having internal meetings to discuss the situation.
One such meeting was currently happening in the dark offices of Kurai Ran, the guild led by Blue Peacock. The Kurai Ran, or Dark Orchids, for anyone reading the name with the translator on, were a guild that Blue Peacock had set at the disposal of anyone with the means to pay.
