Assassins of Shadow (AS) was a RuneScape 2 clan founded by Ubg-fcbruges, and an exodus of the Wilderness Guardians. No hostilities are known to have occurred between AS and WG, and the clan remained stable and active for around 3 years. AS closed in 2008, after around 3 years of activity.
History
AS was an Honour clan founded by former WG member Ubg Fcbruges. It is not known when the clan opened - Ubg Fcbruges stated that at the time of their closure in 2008 they had existed for around 3 years, which would put their formation in 2005 - though no records have been found to verify this. The earliest activity on their last known forums was on 10 July 2007[1], though visible topic titles suggest that these were not the first forums which AS operated from.
AS comprised largely of other ex-WG members. The reasons for the split from WG are unknown - however no hostilities occurred, and there is no mention of AS within WG's written history.
AS was a considerably successful clan and held several events over the course of its lifetime: wars and PK trips, PvM events such as masses for the King Black Dragon and God Wars Dungeon, and various community/fun events.[2] In December 2007, AS opened a junior clan, AS Juniors.[3]
AS closed on 29 October 2008[4] mainly due to a lack of activity, and Ubg Fcbruges posted a re-introduction to WG on the same day.[5] His Lordship welcomed him back, and expressed regret that AS had closed.
Trivia
- AS's motto, "We are the Shadow of the Wilderness", bore structural similarity to WG's motto at the time, "We are the Shield of the Innocent".
- Like its ancestor WG, AS had a separate website and forum. The website - created in Adobe Flash - bore strong similarity to that of WG's popular Flash website but on a much simpler scale. Both websites shared features such as an indoor setting, a bookshelf, a lectern, scrolls to display written information, and a selection of orchestral and instrumental background music.[6]
