Who/What Are Validus?

Validus was formed in May of 2006, by a small number of like-minded players who wanted to experience high-end raiding yet maintain a dignified presence in Norrath.
From that small number Validus has slowly evolved into the guild you see today.

We strive to be a guild of honour, where our members treats others as they like to be treated themselves, a guild where friendship, honour and loyalty stands above all else.
We believe that maintaining this code of honour as well as being in the frontier of raiding is in fact possible and that is our goal.
We strive to learn, improve and keep evolving both as a guild and as individuals, always seeking new challenges.

We see loot as a means to progress further into the realms of the end-game where the sense of achievement of beating an encounter is the ultimate reward.
We are not strangers to spending time wiping over and over again while learning new encounters, so if your goal is purely getting an easy ride to get hold of gear then this guild is not for you.

We do go after contesteds if we have a force available however we will not ask of our members to spend hours formed into a raid waiting for a contested to spawn.

This guild was built by a strong core of friends having the same goals and we aim to continue and honour this heritage.
Our members are our strength and our friendship is the bond that keeps us strong together as a Guild.

Offer your devotion, and Validus offers you a home.

IMPORTANT:

If your application is poorly or hastily written, took you less than 5 minutes to write, and doesn't appear to reflect your desire to raid with us adequately, we will most likely discard it.
Our reasoning is that if you cannot be bothered to spend time writing a decent application, how can we expect you to perform adequately and put in any effort if we give you a trial?
First impressions mean alot, this is our members' first impression of you, make it a good one.

Should you be considered a suitable applicant by the Validus members, you will be contacted in game by an officer of Validus leadership.

Should you have any questions at all, feel free to contact any Validus officer online.
