The truly unique enjoyment of MMO's stem from experiences in playing with other players. Each experience can be different for everyone, and so in most cases a guild with interests and compatibility is often sought for.

Grouping & PVP
One of our many interests is raiding, and we do take part in all the raids that are currently available, though like all events, attendance is never required. It should however be made very clear, our style and view on raiding is very lighthearted and laid-back. While "beating” a raid is certainly fun and rewarding, it is by no measure our primary goal. We go on raids to have fun, to enjoy each others company, and most of all for the experience. The only thing we take serious about raiding is our excellent ability to work as a team and to listen to each other. If you are looking for a guild that just likes to have a lot of fun while on a raid, please do consider applying for membership, but if raiding is your only interest or if you are someone who is all business while raiding, you may want to seek a more raid focused guild.
Crafting
Crafting is a large part of our experience. We encourage members to support eachother and provide eachother with the materials necessary to achieve results before sending them off to the Auction House. Likewise we frown upon anyone who likes to "receive and never giving back”. It is the mentality of supporting one another, that will make crafting a unique and successful experience for everybody.
Inspiration
The title of the guild derives from inspiration of Dante Alighieri's ,The Divine Comedy. Our coin phrase is an excerpt from a particular line in the series of poems.
Empyrean, from the Medieval Latin empyreus, an adaptation of the Ancient Greek ?μπυρος empyrus "in or on the fire (pyr)", properly Empyrean Heaven, is the place in the highest heaven, which in ancient cosmologies was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle's natural philosophy).
Divinerefers to Divinity, in which the root of the word "divine" is literally "godlike" (from the Latin deus, Dyaus, closely related to Greek zeus, div in Persian and deva in Sanskrit)
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'entrate
Abandon all hope - you who entere here
"Midway upon the journey of our life,
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straight foreward pathway had been lost."
