The Safe Havens of Arda

***Welcome to the Safe Havens of Arda***

We were first established by Fernelf in November of 2003, when the Lord of the Rings Online was still just a dream called Middle Earth Online. Some things have changed a bit along the way, but at heart we are still the same relaxed, inviting place we've always been! Our policy assumes that members are mature enough to govern themselves so we do not mandate a large number of rules and regulations. The leadership is in place primarily to handle administrative duties and to arbitrate any rare dispute that may arise.

***The SHoA Follows Standards set by the Original Fellowship*** We will have more of a Democratic type society within the SHoA. Let me explain if I may. Even though most of Tolkiens'' peoples lived in a Totalitarian society..(I said most not all, I do not think the Hobbits did, although I do beleive most of the humans did), The original fellowship itself was more in line with a democratic type. Most of the members in the fellowship were leaders in thier own respect. They did not appoint a leader, instead they allowed the most appropriate individual in any given situation to lead them and guide them towards victory. We are well aware that yes there was some grumblings about certain decisions that were made, but heck if Tolkien had not included that his trilogy would have been much shorter. (lol). For reasons stated above, the SHoA will allow all members a say in the doings of our Kinship. Each member will have equal vote. Yes there will be at one point and time certain members that are elected for individual positions that will help organize the goings on of the SHoA. We will have a system in place that will be implimented during times of any discord within the SHoA. I hope to allow the natural leaders in my Kinship the chance to do just that. I also want to make sure that every member is aware they are an equal . I will really try to base alot of the SHoA''s "standards" on that of the original fellowship.

Our kinship is a very relaxed group of close friends from many different walks of life who came together through this game. We're very easy going with few rules and no drama; our members range in age from early 20's to retired across all U.S. time zones, but we all have real life responsibilities that need to be put first sometimes. If you think you might be a good fit for the Safe Havens, please read this post.
