What We Do
Sons of Durin is a mixed Kinship of casual and hardcore players. We have enough elite players to do top tier content like Hard Mode instances and Raids, though it is not a requirement of membership to participate in group activities.
• QUESTS: Our members often work to complete quests. Being the largest and most active kinship on the server, there's a very good chance you'll be able to find help if you need it!
• CRAFTING: Most of our kin is involved with crafting, we have multiple top tier crafters guilded in each profession who are willing to craft gear and items for our members.
• RAIDING: SoD has 10 of which at least 4 are currently working on the latest Raid in BG while still running DN, Watcher, Turtle and others. Our kin also offers occasional raiding forays into the Rift , Helegrod , Carn Dum and Urugarth runs for class quest items, and occasional Barad Gularan and Annuminas as well. We also have a large number of experienced raid and group leaders to easily advance us through completion on multiple events. Our Raid Leaders often organize 12 man raids. Our kinship does require a few items to join any of our Raid groups as follows...
- Fair knowledge of your class
- Virtues at rank 10
- Decent Legendary Items
- The ability to take constructive criticism well
- The ability to adapt as the raid requires
- Ventrilo installed with headset
- The ability to communicate effectively with raid leader and members
- Your computer must be capable of running the game in a raid situation
• PVP: Our kin has a number of active players in the Ettenmoors, on both the freep and creep sides. We have many high ranked and experienced players who are willing to organize raids for our kin members.
• ORGANIZED ATMOSPHERE: We have a strong officer structure with Senior officers in charge of each division of kin. Our officers normally meet and are active in improving the kinship. We are approachable by kin members with questions, concerns, or requests. Our kin has a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Our members are mature and friendly, and we have a staggering number of MMO veterans who have either raided and/or led guilds in other games.

SoD members are to treat other members and community with respect both in game and on the forums at all times.

If a problem cannot be resolved it should be escalated to an officer, if the problem still cannot be resolved or there is a problem with an officer it should be escalated to the leader/co-leader or our Leadership Team by way of our web site.
Courteous behavior and a commitment to support our growing kinship community are the primary expectations of all our members. It is the policy of the Sons of Durin to deal with infractions of our rules and principles in measurement with the seriousness of the circumstances. While violation of the Sons of Durin’s rules and procedures are usually dealt with on a per incident basis, the seriousness of the infraction and the history of the kinship member involved are taken into consideration when deciding what course of action the kinship’s officer and leader will take. Possible responses to violation of rules and principles include but are not limited to:
A private discussion with a kinship officer or leader.
If applicable, retribution and/or compensation for items, time, and effort in relation to the incident.
Requirement of a “public” apology to the offended persons in the incident.
The issuance of a warning against future violation of the same rule(s).
The issuance of a warning or demotion against future violations of any rule or policy.
Removal from the kinship by a vote. Should the officers online vote to remove you, you will be removed from the kinship permanently. The kinship reserves the right to skip the first and/or second warning if the situation warrants it.
These responses are subject to change at the discretion of the Sons of Durin officers and/or it’s leaders. By being an existing member or joining the Sons of Durin you agree to the principles, rules, policies and procedures.
