On September 21, 2000 the saints became a full fledged monarchy on solclaim, with Laris Bloodsong as monarch.

The saints started after the first monarch of our group left, his name was Fred Silverhand, then Verik Silverhand took it over, and then, when school got in the way for him, it was unanimous that Laris Bloodsong take over the clan, we renamed it The Saints, and have always strived to do our best.

Laris Bloodsong took over as monarch with 63 people, we stayed that for a little bit, finally moving up to 110 people. all were good, living at the rock outside the baishi town. We all tried our best to live the best we could, and to do what we could for everyone else. We grew to around 400 people in the matter of 4 months ( back then that was FAST !) then we had a split, and a new group joined, and a few others joined, all mini monarchies, they helped us grow to around 800 to 900 people. We stayed there for a long time, then zoranderjoined, and his vision came true!We made an XP chin, rivaling all others on the server, growing to over 3K , but alas, we had to many people that were only there for XP, and had no intent of helping others, and the problems abounded, so much so, Laris Bloodsong hated logging in, hated being at the mansion, didnt like a LOT of what the saints had come to be, this wasnt the monarchy she had taken over and seen grow for over a year ! So she disbanded the chain, got rid of it totally, told people to swear back in if they wished, or leave and have a good life, from over 3500 people at that time, we dropped to 1200 people, and it was a GREAT group that stayed, and helped Laris rebuild the monarchy from the ground up.

This happened in 2002 and in that time, many have come and gone, but true friendships abound and the Saints have grown strong yet again. and in that time we stayed at an average of 2000 people, slowly growing, and with the new games coming out, other monarchies left, and the remnants joined with us, and we grew large again. As of right now we are close to being 5000 people with nothing but fun friendship and questng going on, yes, there are problems and there always will be when you get a large group of people together, it cant be helped it is human nature.

In October of 2003 Laris appointed the Council of Elders, they are listed in the CoC. This group of people is made of clan veterans who play at different times so that at one time there is almost always an Elder logged in from Euro to Central time. These folks are here to lend assistance to Laris in running the monarchy and have been granted the ability and power by Laris to do anything that she herself can and would do. We are an extention of Laris and look forward to being part of the future of the Saints.
