Double Guild Spotlights: Luminary & Revenance

Two Guilds, Two Legends, One Spotlight 

No two guilds are alike, and that’s the beauty of AQWorlds. You can be anyone — or anything! — you want, and you can join a guild that aligns with your core beliefs… and impeccable taste in fashion ;) Some guilds shine through screenshots while others sparkle through stories. This week, we’re celebrating 2 incredible guilds who each embody different kinds of greatness: Luminary and Revenance!

🔥 Luminary brings the heat.
❤️ Revenance brings the heart.
🤝 And together they showcase what it means to be an AQW Guild! 

Luminary: Legends in Light (and Screenshots) 

Founded all the way back on September 18th, 2012, Luminary is led by the iconic Jase and supported by a powerhouse team of officers: Maby, Jsv, Kleio, Bearista, Ark Jhin, Brx, and S K E T C H, plus a few mysterious names that remain mysterious 👀

They’ve recruited more than 350 members, which means there’s probably a 9001% chance you’ve crossed paths with a Luminary legend along your adventures. 

“In Luminary’s light, 300 strong they stand,
Brave heroes united, a mighty hand.
Through shadows they stride, with courage untold—
In the guild of the stars, their hearts gleam gold.”

With breathtaking screenshots, synchronized style, and a flair for the dramatic, Luminary proves that guild pride is felt ~and~ seen! And beyond the posing and perfection? There’s true camaraderie underneath it all.

“We’re like family, not just in AQW, but in other games and even real life too,” Discord scriber Klee shares as they conclude their guild’s entry. 

Revenance: Where Loyalty Runs Deeper Than Blood

If Luminary is one of the oldest Guilds in the game, then Revenance is one of the newest! Founded on June 9th, 2025 by Junnix, Revenance may be small but they’ve got big heart and a story to share! With 55 active players on the Artix and Yorumi servers, Revenance is a tight-knit guild of high-level, battle-tested veterans who are writing their legend, one Ultra fight at a time.

“Revenance is a family forged in the fires of battle, bound by loyalty, and strengthened through every victory across Lore,” guildleader Junnix shares on Discord. “We face every challenge not just as guildmates, but as lifelong comrades—from slaying Chaos Lords to farming for that one rare drop at 1%.”

Yup, you read that right: this guild slays together, laughs together, and bleeds RNG together. From Legion quests to Nulgath contracts, Revenance doesn’t back down. But they also don’t forget the heart beneath the grind!

“Whether grinding through Dage’s legion quests or clearing Nulgath’s darkest contracts, we stand together—not just for loot, but for each other.”

Their guild’s story isn’t just about power… it’s about the people! “Welcome to Revenance—where loyalty runs deeper than blood, and every member is more than just a name on a list. We’re not just a guild—we’re a home.”

Requirements to join Revenance

📈 Level 60+
🏆 Must have at least one of: StoneCrusher (SC), ArchPaladin (AP), or Lord of Order (LoO)
🧘 And, most importantly: the right mindset!

“In our halls, laughter echoes louder than war cries. Even during the fiercest Ultra fights, there’s always room for a joke. We pick each other up when we fall—be it after a tough battle or a tough day. No egos, no drama—just real players with each other’s backs, in-game and beyond.”

That bond is what defines Revenance. Not their gear score. Not their ranking. But their willingness to lead with heart.

“We celebrate the wins, learn from the wipes, and always make time for fun—even when the RNG gods aren’t on our side.” (Oh boy, have I been there! *shudder* Phoenix Blade, 2009) “New players are welcomed like old friends. Veterans lead with heart, not just levels or gear. Here, you’re seen. You’re heard. You matter.” 

Revenance concludes with a heartwarming statement that every hero, old and young, can relate to:

“We may come from different servers, time zones, or backgrounds—but in AQW and in Revenance, you’re home.”

Why We Spotlight Both

We saw 2 different kinds of greatness in 1 shared world. And in AQWorlds, it’s not just about what you fight for…

it’s who you fight alongside!

So whether you’re here to farm gear, forge friendships, or flex fits, there’s always been one thing that unites us all: battle on!

Battle on,
Beleen, Luminary guildmates, Revenance guildmates, and the AQW team

Guild Spotlight: Universal

A Home Among the Stars 

Hiya heroes! Our newest Guild Spotlight is dedicated to a place where kindness shines brighter than any star. Say hello to Universal, an out-of-this-world AQW guild where every player is welcome to be their awesome, authentic self.

Founded on April 15th, 2020 by the cosmic commander himself, Raymond (aka Cosmic) created a galaxy of good vibes, unforgettable moments, and community-powered chaos. Well, the good kind of chaos!

“Universal has a double meaning,” Guildleader Raymond explains. “Space/Cosmic-themed after my Cosmic account, but also a place for everybody to feel included, call home and just be who they are.” 

Aggghhh I absolutely LOVE that 💕

With 400 members strong (and aiming for 500!), Universal is led by a core team of passionate players including Co-Leader Doodiee, General Officer Satanuel, and a full fleet of officers: Borts, Joeismymom, Jankz, Dali, Dustin, Tokoru, Yam, Asal, Hane, BTC, and Yveltal.

Lemmie just say: this crew reached for the stars… and probably maxed out their inventories in the process lol

From Big Bang Beginnings to Galactic Greatness

Universal was first launched back in 2020, but after a well-earned break, Raymond made a stellar comeback earlier this year.

“I originally created the guild on my Cosmic account… we were a big community years ago but only had 125 official guild members. Leading the original Universal was amazing and I will never forget it.”

The guild was disbanded in 2021 during Raymond’s “retirement era,” but in true hero fashion, he returned in March 26th, 2025 with a new account, a renewed mission, and a galaxy-sized goal. And the community responded instantly ~and~ overwhelmingly!

“Within the first 2 days of creating the guild, the support from the AE community was huge, we had over 60,000 Artix Points donated to help build up and run events!”

Get this: in just 2 weeks, Universal rocketed past 300 members!!!

“We have reached the greatness of the original guild again with a much bigger community and I love being back leading a guild again.” 

Talk about a full-orbit moment 💫

Events, Vibes, and Universal Fun 

Universal is a supernova of creativity. Whether you’re a battle-tested grinder or a social butterfly (guilty!), there’s something for everyone in this guild:

🎲 Universal Roulette on Discord

🎯 Hide and Seek in-game

🧥 Themed Set Hangouts

🎥 Movie & Game Streams

🎖️ Player of the Month

🧠 Trivia & Question of the Day

🏆 Monthly Outfit Contests

⚔️ Guild PvP Matches

📚 Ultra Boss Farming Guides

“We have incorporated multiple fun features into our guild,” Raymond shares. “For players who would just like to be social, in-game or in our Discord, there’s a lot to do.”

Need farming help? They’ve got channels and guides for that.

Want fashion inspo? There’s a themed contest for that.

Feeling competitive? PvP’s on the calendar.

Craving community? It’s literally everywhere in Universal.

“With our Discord being very active with multiple discussion channels, socialising is lots of fun. I have a whole team of welcoming officers/leads and so many kind guild members, I’m reminded every day how happy I am with the guild.”

How to Join Universal 

Universal is currently recruiting new members, but there’s a code of honor:

“To be an active, kind, and respectful player. Joining on your main account, no alts, and not brand new accounts.”

If you’re ready to be part of something epic — a community that uplifts, plays hard, and supports even harder! — Universal might just be your next home.

Find Raymond or one of the officers in-game to begin your initiation into the stars!

So let’s give it up for the guild where everyone belongs, and the vibes are always Universal!

Battle on,
Beleen, the Universal guildmates, and the AQW team

Guild Spotlight: Actium

Part of the Ship. Part of the Crew. Part of the Legend.

In the vast sea of AdventureQuest guilds, where friendships are forged and memories are made, there sails a mighty guild that needs no introduction… but deserves one anyway: Actium! Founded in 2023 and led by Craiser alongside a fleet of incredible officers, this guild of 400 strong blends the battle-tested wisdom of endgame players with the warm welcoming embrace of an open harbor.

Guild at a Glance

👑 Guild Name: Actium
🗓️ Founded: January 2023
🏴‍☠️ Guild Leader: Craiser
⚔️ Officers: CTGPulSe, radiantly, Jou, Senjumaru, and Ellessa
⚓️ Guild Size: 400 members

Name Origin

The name “Actium” isn’t just cool — it's historic! The Battle of Actium was the final showdown between Octavian and Mark Antony (and Cleopatra, ofc), marking a turning point in Roman history. Likewise, the Actium Guild is a modern-day clash of titans: PvP strategists, ultra-boss battlers, fashion friends, and set-building artists from across the world. Actium is here to conquer, connect, and create!

More Than a Guild — a Global Family

What started as a small, like-minded group has grown into one of AQWorlds’ most vibrant and supportive communities. As guildmember Pomme puts it:

“Actium has made AQW fun again since my return to the game. GOAT guild.” 

But what makes Actium so great?

“We really like to laugh, share experiences, talk about life and give each other advice for both life and play,” Perry explains on Discord, who may or may not be the guild leader, but they’re definitely the guild's spokesperson, and they definitely mean what they say!

“At least once a week we organize a competition or an event for the guild—set competitions, PvP, hangouts, and more,” continues Perry. “Sometimes they also include prizes!”

Actium even has a Discord server where players chat about everything from life to lore to limited-time rares. New and returning heroes are ~always~ welcome here, and those in need of help with ultras or farming challenges won’t have to wait long before someone comes to their aid.

“Many of our guild members are end-game players with a lot of experience and a good spirit to help,” Perry notes. “We also teach those who’ve returned to the game after a long time.” 

But it’s not all battle and bravado… it’s about bonding, too! 

“The guild consists of people who have been with us since the very beginning,” Perry states. “Over time more and more members joined and we grew to be a big family.” 

And a big family they certainly are! 

Fashion, Farming, & Family Vibes

Actium is a fantasy-forged family of seasoned veterans and creative souls. Many are endgame players, some are set-building superstars, and others are happy to hype each other up. Here’s what the Actium crew has to say: 

“Never felt so at home with a guild.” – Ali
“Actium is a super fun family of people. Always got something going on.” – Jou
“The kindest, most supportive guildmates on the planet.” – Young Lu
“ACTIUM ON TOP." – Q8Ducky
“Really glad to be part of the guild. Everyone is super nice and helpful. We a family fr.” – CTGPulSe
“Generally an amazing place with alot of helpful endgame players who ease the passage to the harder contents of the game!” – Altair
“Best guild I've ever been in so far. 100% recommend.” – Kuronosuke
“W guild, W name, W community, W afk.” – mannyy
“Always a joy to be around everyone when I find the time. Makes me glad I'm still around for the game.” – Ray 

Final Words From the Helm

“The value of friendship in the guild is above all,” Perry reminds us — solid advice in-game and IRL too. “We’re good people, we like to laugh together and be with each other. The guild combines people from all over the world, connects them, and together we create Actium.” 

There’s so many reasons why so many players proudly fly the Actium flag. This guild has carved out its own corner in Lore — one filled with laughter, loyalty, and an unshakable love for the game ~and~ each other.

So if you're looking for fashion-forward friends, fearless fighters, and a community that turns AFKs into LOLs, Actium may just be your forever crew.

Join Actium today, and you’ll find more than a guild… you’ll find a home.

Battle on!
Beleen, the Actium crew, and the AQW team

Guild Spotlight: Idle Hours

Adventurers Reunited & Legends Rekindled

Somewhere between a Yulgar hangout and a nostalgia-fueled family reunion you’ll find the heart of Idle Hours. This is a tight-knit guild where the bonds between players are as enduring as the memories they share! Founded in November 2022 by Guild Leader SilentSav, Idle Hours has grown into a thriving community of over 325 members, where everyone is welcomed with open arms and a warm invitation to stay awhile.

“Idle Hours is my pride and joy, and I strive to share it with all who'll listen to this old wizard's ravings,” says SilentSav, whose deep love for AQW is the cornerstone of the guild’s spirit.

For SilentSav, it all began with a return to a childhood classic.

“After returning to AQW, I soon found Guilds had been added as a feature to my childhood game! Excited, I quickly began making good friends, relearning how to play the game, and decided to start my own guild with those friends' help!” 

And so Idle Hours was born: a community built on trust, friendship, and the shared goal of rekindling the magic that brought everyone to Lore in the first place.

A Guild That Grew With Its Members

Originally founded as “O.R.C.,” the guild was rebranded to "Idle Hours” last September, a change that came with maturity ~but~ not the cost of its core beliefs.

“Despite the name change, our mission has remained the same since the beginning: build a community of players who share the same love and passion for the game, and create long-lasting memories with friends gained along the way!” 

Under the leadership of SilentSav and the support of a dedicated team of Officers — Adrian535, Nljh, Mellos, Yujjisol, Kareem, HungryHangry, Strebon, Justice XI, InosentZero, Gistra, and Jabskie — Idle Hours has evolved into something more than just a guild. It’s a second home ~and~ reminder of how far we’ve come, and how much we still have to explore.

More Than a Guild… A Place to Belong

Whether you’re chasing life goals, grinding that elusive drop, or simply vibing in Yulgar’s with your favorite set equipped, Idle Hours welcomes players of all kinds. Weekly fashion meetups, late-night farming sessions, and spontaneous chat chaos… you’ll find it all here!

“We wanted to establish an environment allowing everyone to enjoy the game to their heart’s content, express themselves, and feel safe learning and/or returning to AQW!” 

That nostalgia hits hard, especially in a game many players grew up with. But what makes Idle Hours so powerful isn’t just what guildmates remember… it’s what they continues to create: 

new friends, shared goals, and hours of joyful gameplay.

“Every one of our guild members is highly valued, and we are excited to join them in their journeys within and beyond the bounds of this game we all hold dear.”

As you can see, Idle Hours is more than a guild… it’s the calm between chaos, the laugh in the throes of a Chaos Lord run, and the guild invite you weren’t expecting but instantly knew was right. Whether you remember the days of playing AQWorlds in your school’s computer lab, or have recently climbed up in the ranks of Lore, or are a freshly spawned adventurer, your journey has a place here in Battleon and beyond!

So seek out SilentSav in-game (or on their Discord post here) if you want to become the newest member in Idle Hours!

Battle on,
Beleen, the Idle Hours guildmates, and the AQW team

Guild Spotlight: Camelot

Enter Camelot: A Legacy of Loyalty and Laughter

Officially founded in December 2021, the story of Camelot actually begins a year earlier, with a close-knit group of players who met in 2020. Through trials, disbandments, and the passage of time, the original guild leader stepped away, and its members could have drifted apart, too. Instead, two determined heroes — Zaratos and 4sp1n4 — refused to let their friendships fade. Together, they rebuilt Camelot from the ground up, establishing a new guild, launching a Discord server, and calling their old friends back home.

And it worked! Well, obviously, considering this spotlight 🤭

The Camelot guild now stands with 42 members, guided by a loyal leadership team: Guild Leaders Zaratos and 4sp1n4, and Officers notname982, hyourinmaru_br, akari ichijou, and zebub. But ask any member, and they’ll tell you: it’s not the size that matters — it’s the heart!

Camelot welcomes everyone, from fresh-faced newbies to seasoned veterans and end-game legends. The only requirement? Be ready to have fun! Whether you’re learning the ropes or leading the charge in ultra boss fights, Camelot is all about logging on and leaving your worries behind.

But Camelot is more than just a guild; it’s home! What started as “just game friends” has grown into a lifelong bond between players from all over the world. They may live far apart, but in Camelot, they’re always side by side!

Long Live Camelot

To the entire Camelot crew: thank you! Your story is what AQW is all about: epic adventures, unforgettable friendships, and a community that turns everyday moments into lifelong memories.

And! To all our guilds across Lore — big or small or coming soon ;) — thank you for making this game ~and~ community so amazing.

Long live Camelot! Long live Battleon! Long live AdventureQuest Worlds!

Battle on,
Beleen, Camelot guildmates, and the AQW team

PS: if you think your guild has what it takes to be featured in a future Guild Spotlight, don’t wait a moment longer; submit your story and show us the heroes behind the name.

☠️ Want to Join an Elite Legion Guild?

If you seek power and camaraderie, R3venant would love to welcome you. But! Only the worthy shall enter! To join, you must meet these requirements:
✅ Possess either LR, VHL, DoT, CAV, or VDK
✅ Have at least 20 badges

AQW Guild Spotlight: Icy

Chill Vibes Only!

In the ever-expanding world of AdventureQuest Worlds, finding a guild that truly feels like home is no easy feat. But that’s where Icy comes in! Founded on April 17, 2024 by Kamrank, this guild isn’t just about levels and achievements… it’s about building a communitywhere kindness, camaraderie, and fun reign supreme. With a whopping 300+ members and an open-door policy that values positivity over strict requirements, Icy is a cool place where everyone belongs!

Journey from Lone Wanderer to Guild Leader

Kamrank’s journey in AQW began all the way back in October 2008 when the game first launched (wow, Kamrank's played longer than I've been working at Artix Entertainment!). Over the years, Kamrank searched tirelessly for a guild that truly resonated with them. After bouncing between different communities, the realization finally hit: 

if the perfect guild didn’t exist, why not create it?

And so, during a casual farming session in /deltavlab, a group of friends who had just completed their Slayer armor sets decided to forge something greater together. That moment marked the birth of Icy – a guild built not on strict rules and rigid structures, but on friendship, shared passion, and the simple joy of playing AQW together.

What Makes Icy So Special?

❄️ A Truly Global & Wholesome Community

Icy as a Guild is just the tip of the iceberg – it’s a family that spans across continents! Whether you're battling bosses in AQW or just hanging out in Discord, you’ll always find a friendly face ready to chat, help, or simply share some lol’s with. Fun fact: Icy has members in every continent… including Antarctica! Probably because penguins know where the real club is at ;)

🎁 Generous Giveaways & Rewards

Every month, Icy hosts an exciting $100 giveaway, ensuring that members always have something to look forward to. Non-members aren’t left out, either! The guild frequently surprises players with free memberships, Discord Nitro, and even commissioned art by some of AQW’s most talented artists. That’s way cool!

🛡️ 24/7 Support from Fellow Heroes

The guild thrives on helping each other succeed. Need backup against ultra bosses? Guidance on the latest quests? Just looking for someone to chat with? Icy’s got your back — day or night, hot or cold. No one fights alone!

📜 A Resourceful & Active Discord

Beyond the game, Icy’s Discord server is a treasure trove of information, strategies, and vibrant conversations. From in-depth ultra boss guides to detailed explanations on how to make the most of your AQW membership, there’s something for everyone. Plus, the lively community chat ensures that there’s never a dull moment.

I mean... just check out the chat dripping with ice lol!

❤️ Giving Back to the World

Gaming is fun, but Icy believes in making a real-world impact too. The guild regularly organizes charity events, using its strong community to support important causes and give back. It’s proof that kindness and generosity extend beyond the game <3

Join the Icy Family

If you’re looking for a guild where you can be yourself, make lifelong friends, and enjoy AQW without pressure, then Icy is the place for you. There are no strict requirements — just an open invitation to be part of something special.

So why not take a break from the heat of battle and join Icy? After all, some of the warmest friendships are found in the coolest places 😎

Battle on!
Beleen, Kamrank, the Icy guildmates, and the AQW team

Legends Never Die: A Spotlight on the Imperial Demons Guild

A Legacy Forged in AQW

Happy Throwback Thursday! Today we are honoring a guild that may no longer be active in AQWorlds but their legacy remains — because good memories and true legends never die! The Imperial Demons Guild started all the way back in 2014 under the name Nightvale, founded by the guild leader, aka the Infernal Empress, Pandemonium. What began as a small guild quickly blossomed into a thriving community. At its peak, Nightvale boasted over 500 members across its subguilds—Dawnvale, Duskvale, Bloodvale, and others—creating a network of adventurers united by their love for AQW.

By 2015, Nightvale evolved into Oculus Mortis (Eye of Death) before ultimately becoming Imperial Demons in 2016. This final name marked a new chapter as the guild evolved into a non-OP PvP, social, and events-focused powerhouse. The introduction of Tiger the Destroyer as Co-leader brought even more life to the guild, while a roster of dedicated officers ensured it thrived with engaging events and activities.

A Guild That Felt Like Home

For 8 incredible years, the Imperial Demons Guild became a family. From hosting PvP tournaments like "Battle of the Noobs" to holding art contests, farming challenges, and even karaoke nights on Discord, there was something for everyone.

Weekly training sessions in PvP built skills and bonds, while creative events like storytelling and AQMV videos captured the spirit of the guild. Guild chat was often filled with humor, memories, and the shared joy of gaming. Over time, Pandemonium collected over 100 screenshots of guild moments, jokes, and PvP videos – wow, talk about a treasure trove of nostalgia!

Guild Stats & Story

Guild Name(s): Nightvale / Oculus Mortis / Imperial Demons Guild
Founded: 2014
Ended: 2021
Guild Leader/Infernal Empress: Pandemonium
Co'leader/Primordial Arch Demon: Tiger the Destroyer
Guild Officers/Shadow Arch Demons: Obs, Ursiopao, Blazing_Assassin, Newce/Sier, Hoshi No, Argeddon, Tiberius Sorren/T The Omega, Idunnou/Shupocalypse, Okami1, GuardianElesis (Before he became a mod) & Juno608.
Guild Story: Imperial Demons was like the family I never had, I grew up leading the guild single-handedly until I met Tiger The Destroyer who became Co'leader in 2016, and the many officers and old friends who would dedicate their time and effort in helping host events and meetings when I wasn't able to make it. We had a few name changes over the 7-8 years that the guild was alive and active. We were first called Nightvale. And at that time gained over 500+ members in our fb group from our Vale subguilds (Dawnvale, Duskvale, Bloodvale, etc).

In 2015 I decided to change the guild name to Oculus Mortis (Eye/s of Death) and then later became Imperial demons in 2016+. We were both an Non-OP PvP, Social, Party and an Events based guild, we held PvP tournaments 3 times a month 'Battle of the noobs', Non OP and OP PvP, PvP weekly training, Farming Challenges, Art/Media Competitions and General Knowledge/Quiz events, Player of the Month & Best Set which people won gift certificates for winning in these events. We also held discord activities like Karaoke, Storytelling & movie night.

I have collected over 100+ images of my guild friends hanging out and funny stuff they'd say in guild chat, a few PvP videos and a AQMV we made back in Oculus Mortis days where a few of my guild friends joined in on the fun. It was sad to see a lot of my friends leave Adventure Quest Worlds. I just hope that our previous members who eventually came back to AQW sees this post and remembers the good times that we all had!!

Honoring the Past, Reviving the Future

Though Imperial Demons disbanded in 2021, its impact remains. For Pandemonium, the guild was much more than just a group of players… it was the family they never had 🥺 Guildmates grew together, supported one another, and created memories that endured in the hearts of those who called it home.

But what if this isn’t the end of the story? With AQW Infinity on the horizon, there’s no better time to reunite and bring the Imperial Demons Guild back to life! Imagine regrouping for a fresh start, reliving the glory days, and making new memories in the next chapter of AQW!

If you’re a former guildmember of Nightvale, Oculus Mortis, or Imperial Demons—or simply inspired by this story—then please share this post with others. Let’s bring back the family for Infinity’s launch and prove that legends never die! 

Don’t forget to wishlist AQW Infinity on Steam and prepare for an adventure like no other!

Battle on,
Beleen and the AQW team (and ofc Pandemonium + Imperial Demons’ guildmates too)

Guild Spotlight: Inquisitor

Meet the Inquisitor Guild: Leaders of Unity and Support in the Spanish-Speaking Community

Happy New Year, heroes! Let’s kick things off by featuring our first guild of 2025: Inquisitor! Back in 2012, this guild actually began under the name Deathless Slayer, evolved to Grand Inquisitor, and finally adopted its current identity in 2013. Despite the name changes, its core values have remained steadfast: fostering unity, supporting players, and creating a welcoming environment for Spanish-speaking gamers.

Led by Aragoz and supported by dedicated officers – Syo, Howlleon, Patroclos, Keptsu, redtil12345, and Guada – this guild thrives on teamwork and mutual respect. With 221 active members currently, Inquisitor focuses on assisting players, regardless of guild affiliation. Whether you're seeking guidance or camaraderie, Inquisitor's doors are always open.

Inquisitor takes pride in its inclusivity, especially for players who may feel isolated due to language barriers. The guild actively works to unite the Spanish-speaking community, providing a space where everyone feels at home. Drama and negativity have no place here, as the guild prioritizes a positive, hate-free atmosphere.

The creation of the /house Battleonsp is a testament to Inquisitor’s commitment to the community. Designed as a gathering spot for Spanish speakers, this space embodies the guild’s mission to connect players and strengthen bonds.

Through highs and lows, Inquisitor has remained a resilient and active guild since its founding, proving that unity and perseverance are at the heart of its success.

📝 A Brief Description:
We are Inquisitor, at the beginning our Guild was called Deathless Slayer, then it was called Grand Inquisitor, and in 2013 it was finally called Inquisitor. Despite the name change, our essence remains the same, with new and old users who continue playing. We are one of the largest Guilds in the Spanish-speaking community, and we are dedicated to helping all the users we can, even if you belong to another guild we will not hesitate to help you if you need it. We seek to keep the Spanish community together as much as possible, for those who are always left alone by not being able to find someone who speaks their language, and who does not know other languages. We want to maintain 0 problems with other users, and whoever seeks to create drama will simply leave the guild, since we do not want an environment of hate between our members. Also, we have created a /house called Battleonsp, "/house Battleonsp" because they removed the /join and it is used to gather all those who speak Spanish. We have had good times, as well as bad ones, since 2012 we have remained active, and we will never stop no matter what happens.

Guild Spotlight: Burzum

Burzum: A Legacy of Strength and Honor

Since its founding on July 26, 2020, Burzum has carved out its place in AQWorlds, inspired by the “darkness” that its name represents in the world of Lord of the Rings. Guided by its dedicated leader, Burguul, and a supportive guild officer team of ten, Burzum has grown to a powerful 300+ members, each with a shared appreciation for old-school AQW values: loyalty, integrity, and respect.

The story of Burzum began humbly, with just a few members and a simple mission: to unite skilled and honorable players who valued strength and kindness over numbers. A defining moment came early on when Burguul met a rival guild that challenged Burzum’s worth. Undeterred, Burguul accepted their PvP challenge, swiftly defeating three of their members, including their leader, which led to a rivalry but ultimately strengthened Burzum’s resolve to become a guild of true, steadfast players.

Today, Burzum is known for its loyalty, support, and diverse activities—from PvP battles and ultra-fights to hosting its iconic Bludrut Brawls. The guild prides itself on its vibrant Discord community, where members bond, share knowledge, and coordinate epic in-game events. Here, new players are welcomed with open arms (as long as they’re kind and stylish!), while seasoned members find a close-knit community focused on self-improvement, not just in the game but in real life too.

Guild Stats & Story 

👑 Guild Leader: Burguul
👥 Guild Size: 300-350 members
✅ Guild Requirements: Just be nice, helpful and active. If you are an OG you just welcomed anyway. And it would be cool if you look good from fashion side...
📚 A “Brief” Description: Hello i am Burzum's leader. Burzum means "Darkness" in LOTR universe created by great J.R.R Tolkien. Let me tell you a story about our guild. A story that reflects our in game philosophy...

"Years ago... When Burzum was just 1 week of age, we got just 20 member spaces. I was a solo player back then and my goal is collect good and oldschool AQW players just like me. In originul map a player wanted my help and i helped him without any question. Just after that i asked him if he wanna join Burzum and he said " yeah :D" I took him in and went to my house stay afk a little. When i back to my farm i saw him again... He just went another guild... (That guild is is gonna be called "R" guild in this story) I asked him why? And he said: "They're givin giveaways!! etc. Lets stay friends!!" Meanwhile guys from "R" guild came and started to cyberbully me and my guild like "Small guild LOL", "You don't know who we are" etc. As an every oldschool AQW player i am master at PVP. I remember this guilds members from doomwoodarena a lot. I told em yeah guys i knew you all killed many of u in PVP. And then they challanged me in PVP. I said to them "If i kill all 3 of you u will join Burzum. Deal?" And they accepted it. I killed 3 of em in seconds. But as you able to guess these men refused to join me... BUT they said if you kill our leader we all gonna join your guild. I said who is he? They gave me a name that i knew very well... I saw him a lot always stayin' AFK in battleon-1 Artix. Also he was a AQW youtuber. Lets call him "J" in this story. I accepted the challange and i said "bring him to me". We met at "R" guilds headquaters. First time i saw that "J" guy moving... He sent me duel invite... I equiped my favourite PVP class... Artifact Hunter... Fight Started and just ended... He's dead in a tense of second. I came back to their headquarters and said "It's done... You all join me now..." They said " NO WAY!" HE WANTS A REMATCH!" I said theres no rematch, deal is done. Then i start to got many private bad word messages and duel invites from accounts i did not know. When i got my house i saw my house invaded by "R" guilds members... I turned off my gotos and wait a while at overlook cliff watching the beautiful view of lore. When chaos was ended that guy who i helped and went to "R" guild came back to me and said "they banned me i wanna join you again..." But i said " No you filthy rat." and ignored him.

After that i declared war to this "R" guild and I made an oath "I will grow Burzum and fill it with gentlemen players who only cares about strength and honour. Burzum's never gonna be like these other guilds." Our main goal is kindness and fun itself.

Now that "R" guild is gone but Burzum lives and its gonna be alive since end of the time

And i think i reached to my goals. I got so many great, helpful players in my guild. We can PVP, Ultras, Chat etc. We are the most versatile guild in game. WE EVEN DO BLUDRUT BRAWL IN GULD GUYS!

Our ingame activity is way more than 400-500 member spaced guilds. Also we got the most amazing discord server.

Burzum shakes this game from its deep ground. And going bigger and bigger every single day.

LONG LIVE BURZUM-ISHI!

Burzum’s Oath of Brotherhood

Burzum has grown beyond its original goal, now a guild united by ideals of honor and camaraderie that keep its members strong. While the rival “R” guild may have faded, Burzum has only become stronger, standing as a beacon of AQW’s old-school player values. To join Burzum is to join a legacy – a place where every player is respected and where strength comes from the heart of the community. 

This is why you belong in Burzam – and why you belong in AQW! From the moment you log in, you enter a world of camaraderie, epic battles, and unforgettable adventures, where your journey becomes part of a story that transcends the game. Embrace the spirit of Burzum and let your legend unfold in AQWorlds ~and~ the real world, too!
