The Descendant Guardians or DG were the junior clan of the Wilderness Guardians. Three instances of DG existed: DG1 from August 2005 to early 2006, DG2 from June to October 2006, and DG3 from June 2011 to February 2013. DG served primarily as a means for players lacking in levels, skill, and/or experience to prepare themselves for joining WG, though DG3 managed to establish themselves considerably as an independent clan in their own right.
Contents
Planning
The concept of a junior clan to the Wilderness Guardians was first conceived on April 20th 2005, when Polman_6, a diplomat from The Anti Pkers clan, proposed that his clan could serve as the junior clan for WG. He posted the following on the WG forums:
I want to have full alleigence[sic], thereforth splitting forces. I had this idea before I notcied[sic] yours and your caught my eye. Strangely, I noticed we had the same skin. I would house a smaller squad of not high enough members in your clan, wishing to apply, like The White Tigers have the White Tiger cubs. I would house level 70-80.
[1]
His Lordship discussed the offer with WG and approved of the idea, but stipulated that The Anti Pkers would need to change their name to the suggested "Descendant Guardians". Ultimately AP did not get involved in the creation of DG, but the name and idea were retained by WG and plans for opening the junior clan were announced on the Rune Village fansite in early 2005. In April 2005, it was announced that DG would open on 1 September 2005[2]. Shortly after, WG received a sudden influx of applications following their war with The Unbreakables and breaking into the top clan league - and the opening of DG was rescheduled 1 month earlier to accomodate this.
DG1
DG1 opened on 1 August 2005. Gibble00 was the leader, Dsgames2003, Mochaho456, Sir Jereth, and His Lordship served as secondary leaders, and Dorcha3377 was a moderator.
The junior clan operated smoothly and with considerable success for the first few months. Members who joined through DG included Stokenut - who would later go on to serve as a high-ranking staff member in both clans. WG and DG held several events together, and in late 2005 the two clans began raiding together to improve DG members' performance in the Wilderness.
In mid-November of 2005, with His Lordship on holiday, Blazer903 suceeded Gibble00 as leader of DG, and was later joined by InundationI as a co-leader. However, both would step down by January of 2006 as they could not invest adequate time into leadership. Oak Island - a WG member who had moved to DG in order to aid them - became the sole leader of DG. A few DG were unhappy with the change, however many became loyal to Oak - to the point where they began to refuse to transition into WG upon meeting the senior clan's requirements. As a result, WG staff planned to increase their control over DG. This resulted in Oak Island and several loyal members leaving to form Oak Island Pirates - the only exodus to come from the junior clan of WG. Following these events, His Lordship closed DG1 around late January/early February of 2006.
DG2
DG2 opened in June 2006, amidst WG's success as one of the top 5 P2P clans. The atmosphere of the senior clan had been decaying with fights breaking out and many members leaving or being removed. To counter the losses, the staff re-opened DG. It is not clear who the original leadership and staff of DG2 were - some time during or after August 2006, Kaioken757 and Stokenut (the latter a former DG member himself) were elected to the DG council, and are the only recorded staff members of DG2.
The reopening of DG came with a steady inflow of new members and a boost of morale. On 22-23 July 2006, DG fought alongside WG and allied clans in the X vs DS war - the largest fight in DG's history.
In late 2006, His Lordship was forced to step down from leadership of WG due to real life issues, and further complications began to arise following his departure. The replacement leadership - Tmal34 and Twizlers300 - decided that DG2 would be phased out due to the council being unable to cope with running a junior clan. DG2 closed in October 2006.
