Question 1
Mulf, a Warrior of the Black Dragons, was an extremely high-level knight and famously wielded a Great Axe which was an unobtainable rarity back in those days. What was the “Mulf Incident” in 2005 about?

1. Mulf accepted a huge bounty to kill Kai Hansen, a controversial figure and high-ranking member of the Mercenarys.
2. Mercenarys accepted a huge bounty contract to have Mulf killed, who fiercely defended himself against his tormentors.
3. A hacked Mulf went berserk among players at training in Ab’Dendriel bug pens and was attacked by Satori and many others.

Spoiler!

2, somebody had offered the Mercenarys a huge bounty to have him killed. To the surprise of the community, they boisterously accepted the mission. A guildless Mulf fought back in rage and had them chasing him for 3 days straight without dying. His legend lives on today.

1. Coronius?
2. Natures Lord?

Spoiler!

1, Coronius, a humble Swede from Helsingborg.

Red Rose has Dama Blackheart, Mercenarys has Cyrus Blackheart and Loremasters had Tassel Blackheart. Which Blackheart did the Black Dragons have?

1. Lane Blackheart?
2. Leanor Blackheart?
3. Lainy Blackheart?

Spoiler!

3, Lainy Blackheart. She was the official diplomat under Hellraiser’s leadership in 2003. Attempts were made to lure her back to Tibia but to no avail. One day, hopefully!

Question 4
Strict character separation was commonplace in the ancient days, which meant that your characters were regarded as separate people. One could play his main character as a compassionate hero and his secondary as a callous villain. Many Black Dragons took this practice to heart. What secondary character did the famous Mercenary leader Ashra have in the guild?

1. Zaroth Blackblade?
2. Hippea?
3. Sir Kendry?

Spoiler!

3, Ashra’s secondary character Sir Kendry, who belonged to the same family as Flattery and Bubble, was one of Black Dragons’ authorized afk hunters.

Question 5
Red Rose were no stranger to character separation either and one member had a strong sorcerer among the ranks of the Mercenarys. Which Rose did the character Manostra belong to?

1. Arsus Redsuit?
2. Lightbringer?
3. Tharanis?

Spoiler!

2, the powerful sorcerer Manostra, Mercenarys’ most ardent killer, belonged to Red Rose’s Lightbringer. Mercenarys’ forum is littered with complaints and duel-challenges towards Manostra, who rather let his fearsome reputation do the talking for him rather than dignifying them with a response.

Question 6
The legendary knight Bubble – first player to reach level 100 and 200 – was mysterious to those who did not know her, but dear to those she called friend and family. She garnered the Black Dragons a lot of prestige for being a vice-leader. What was her guild title?

1. The Peaceful Dragoness?
2. The Ruby Dragoness?
3. The Exalted Dragoness?

Spoiler!

1, Bubble had family and friends in guilds across the world and cared most for peace and harmony.

Question 7
Our two guilds have a common heritage and we are united by old and new friendships.
However, 20 years ago, our shield walls stood on opposing sides in the Alliance-Dark Side war. While the causes for that conflict were many, there was only one catalyst. What was that?

1. Messiahs of Bedlam black booked two members of the Rising Phoenix.
2. Mercenarys refused to refund Milka Kuh’s botched up wedding service in Fibula.
3. Black Dragons swore to defend their official rune supplier Grantifer, who was black booked by the Mercenarys.

Spoiler!

1, Menrec, representative of the Alliance and a leader of the Messiahs of Bedlam informed Wayoun of the Rising Phoenix that his members Knight Fang and Magius would enter the black book of all Alliance partners. Attempts at a peaceful resolution broke down when it was clear to Dark Side leaders that the Alliance prepared for war.

Question 8
While some members negotiated individually, a formal end of hostilities in the first Alliance-Dark Side war was agreed on the 30th of May 2005. Which guild stood as host for the meetings?

1. Dark Omen?
2. Fontaneda Army?
3. Guardian Nomads?

Spoiler!

3, Lonewolf, King of the Guardian Nomads, hosted several peace talks in his guildhall Wolftower. Its central location was meant to represent the need to meet a reasonable middle ground between the blocs. The result spawned the peace council, who were tasked with solving grievances diplomatically to prevent another war from taking place. To the sorrow of many, they failed.

Question 9
In 2007, Red Rose leadership forbad its members to use the phrase “Hail”. Why was that?

1. The guild’s peaceful members thought it sounded too belligerent.
2. The guild’s German members thought it sounded too much like “Heil”.
3. The guild’s majority roleplayers wanted to adopt the phrase “Bless X” in honour of Banor.

Spoiler!

1, as a peaceful and neutral guild, Red Rose of those days wanted to portray an amiable image of themselves to the public and thought that “Hail” was perceived as too belligerent.

Question 10
Due to a trade dispute between the Black Dragon’s Dinaforce and Red Rose’s Oganda, tensions rose in 2007. What innocent item was the cause of the dispute between the parties?

1. Bunnyslippers?
2. Panda Teddy?
3. Grey Tome?

Spoiler!

2, Dinaforce did not know Soft Boots could be recharged and traded them for a Panda Teddy, a decision he deeply regretted afterwards. Nobody knows what happened to the cute little bear, but we can only hope it brought him some much-needed comfort.

Question 11
Oafah of the guild Antharas became widely recognized in 2006 for his efforts in bringing peace to Antica by inviting the Alliance and Dark Side blocs, along with important neutral guilds as observers, to the ‘Antican Peace Conference”. Oafah’s project became controversial when one bloc felt that he favoured the other. What happened?

1. The Red Rose felt that the peace in Fibula wasn’t respected in the negotiations.
2. The Followers of the White Dragon felt that their claim on Cormaya wasn’t recognized by their opponents.
3. The Mercenarys felt belittled by the Rising Phoenix in the discussions about their strength.

Spoiler!

3, Each guild would have a set number of votes in the security council, based on how powerful they were, and the Mercenarys couldn’t accept the fact that the Rising Phoenix had eclipsed them in strength and activity. The next war between the blocs settled that particular argument for good.

Question 12
The Black Dragons have had its fair share of memorable members throughout the years, and they have granted us countless stories to tell newer members. But it’s easy to forget or make mistakes when passing that on. So, as my final question, I wonder...
Which of the following quadruples were actual members?

1. Knight Fang, Zu, Luigi and Proxy?
2. Black Panther, Smoked, Proxy and Knight Fang?
3. Solmyrr, Mulf, Proxy and Luz?

Spoiler!

3, Proxy, Knight Fang, Luz, Solmyrr, Luigi, Black Panther and Mulf were Black Dragons, while Zu and Smoked were members of the Rising Phoenix!
