Archaeologists of Aegis
Excavating ruins and groves to recover the lore and history of Aegis
The Archaeologists of Aegis is a group that want to discover and recover lore and history of Aegis. We intend to walk around in the country, looking for signs of old life, buildings and civilizations.
We are currently looking for more excavators and historians to work with future excavations. This job is volunteer work and will not give much of an income, but we do seek donations to help the cause. You don't have to work with this as a main job. Feel free to help the Guild on your free time.
I am Galmir Súrion, called Sting, son of Taurnil Súrion. With my father being the late leader of the Dark Elves, I feel responsible to know who my ancestors where. With that yearning I also know that I have to help all citizens of Aegis to learn about the past. Who knows what settlements, disputes and skirmishes we do not know about? There are maybe races that we have no knowledge about...
If you do support this project, please do tell and support us officially. We will probably have graverobbers destroying our work and will need help to fend these off ((the work is on non-permissioned and griefers will be around. We will need some support from race officals)).
Current excavations and future projects
The first excavation we went out for was the so called Forest of Inwe, where the first Dark Elves settled. The site of the small settlement has been found and the excavation has started. It is located east of Malinor, by the southernmost part of the desert.
The Dark Elves moved from Malinor after a religious dispute and looked for a new place. But very soon Orcs of the desert in the north learned about the new neighbors and moved in to deal with the threat. The Battle of Inwe was imminent and the newly settled Dark Elves had to move back to Malinor.
As we now know there where Orcs very close by the Dark Elves, we will look for signs for Orcs living close to Inwe.
See this paper for notes on what we know about the Dark Elves and the battle of Inwe.

Description of the work
As an archaeologist you will be looking for ancient ruins. We hope to find old settlements, war fields, religious places, maybe even libraries with ancient texts. Your work will be to find, excavate, analyze and archive our findings.
If you are interested in helping this cause, then please send a note to our Headquarters (application form is found further down).
It might be good to know that working for the Archaeologists of Aegis will probably not give you a very good paycheck, but that is not what this is about. The knowledge we find is a good enough pay!
((The job entails building ruins and groves and create lore and history around each site. We will need people that know or want to know more of the lore, people that can create lore for the server as well as history. Lastly, we will need a couple of good builders, that can create the different excavation sites and buildings.))
Application
((Material donations))
((We are humbly accepting donations in form of materials or money (to pay for materials), so we can build those ruins. The list below will contain what we will be needing, now and in the future. Thank you for any donations you give!))
