Congrats to Archleon of AIE TOR for the newest addition to his family, Myles Daniel Quinn! Our newest little guildie was born on 9/26/12 and both mom and baby are doing just fine! If you would like to give your well wishes head on over to the forum thread in the community section titled Newest little guildie!

Congrats to Melyanna and Peach on their recent wedding! Iceflow got some great pictures on the scene which are available on the forums for the entire guild to view! We wish you both many years of happiness!

* He is a patient and good voice of reason in a raid.

* Baux is an awesome guy!

And remember, if you see someone who is a shining example of what makes the AIE guild so special please let your officers know! You can congratulate Bauxite personally on the forums!
