​

1. No drama. If you are found intentionally creating or maintaining conflict or discomfort between players, you will be removed. However, reporting a problem is not drama.

2. Only guild leadership can remove players from the guild. If there is an issue, bring it to your leaders.

3. Please use one of your character names or your @handle as your Tyrs forum name. Current members, please do not change your name.

4. Please post an intro in the Roster and Recruitment section of this website, and add your characters to the Roster.

5. Please post your birthdays on this site, just so we can embarrass you with big birthday announcements.

6. Be courteous and respectful. This costs you nothing and goes a long way.

7. Religion/Politics: Please avoid these topics in general chat and guild chat, as they can cause unnecessary conflict.

8. YOU DO NOT LEAVE PEOPLE BEHIND! That means 'no zerging', whether we're exploring areas or doing a structured mission. We run at the pace of the slowest person in the party. We support and encourage beginners.

9. Guild comes first. If you’re assembling a party, ask your guildies if they want to join in before soliciting other party members.

10. We do not exploit the game! If you are caught intentionally cheating, you will be removed from the guild.

11. NO DISCRIMINATION! As a non-biased guild, Tyrs Paladium is committed to being a safe, welcoming space for all players. If you act or speak in a way that demeans or diminishes other people, you will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, disrespect based on race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability.

12. If you have to log off or leave your keyboard while in a party, please clearly communicate this to other party members. This is a matter of respect and courtesy. Remember that your actions reflect on the guild as a whole, especially in PUGs (pick-up groups).

13. Do your best to be active in the guild community. You do not have to participate in everything, but please look for ways to contribute, in guild chat, on the website, and by participating in events when possible.

14. Real life comes first.

15. We at Tyrs Paladium take pride in our dedication to be inclusive of all types of gamers, regardless of ability. We have many members who are able to play and enjoy the game in spite of physical, cognitive and communication impairments. Please keep this in mind when playing. You never know who is behind the character you are talking to or playing with in-game. We are proud supporters of the Able Gamers Foundation.

16. This website and any third-party voice chat channels are extensions of the guild. All rules apply here, in all chat forums, and in-game.

17. Insubordination will NOT be tolerated. Joking/goofing around is OK, but once it goes past a certain point, it will not be tolerated. Malicious or disrespectful treatment of other players (including criticism based on their game knowledge or skill level) is unacceptable.

18. Please use appropriate names. Some very vulgar and offensive things will get through the name filter. They will not be tolerated in Tyrs.

19. Dual/Multi-boxing (playing two accounts simultaneously and potentially hindering a group effort) is not permitted unless the group knows you are doing this and approves. You may be logged on to multiple accounts if a group effort is not affected and game rules are not being broken.

20. Last but not least, HAVE FUN!!!!

To the great Thrane adventures ahead,

Commodore & Paks
Tyrs Paladium Guild Founders

TYRS KITCHEN AUGUST 2025 RECIPE

Commodore's Homemade Rice a Roni​

This is my standard rice side for those meals that need something a little more interesting than plain white rice. It takes no more time than the boxed stuff and only a teeny bit more effort ...

It is just as easy as making the stuff in the box except you do have to measure two things: 3/4 cup long grain rice and 1/2 cup of spaghetti.

Just break it up into little pieces and measure out a 1/2 cup. Then you simply proceed the same way as the box stuff.

Melt a little butter and sauté the rice and pasta til golden.

Add chicken stock/broth, spices (garlic and a little dried parsley, salt & pepper if desired), and a teaspoon of chicken base.

Bring to a boil, cover and turn the heat down to low, then simmer for about 15 minutes. Done.

Perfectly fluffy, flavorful rice that really does taste just like Rice-A-Roni but not as salty. There you go Tyrs. Love your Food!

Ingredients:

* ¾ cup long grain white rice
* ½ cup spaghetti, broken up into little 1/4" pieces (don't need to be too fancy)
* 1-3 tbsp butter, depends how much fat you want, I usually use a tbsp of butter
* 14 oz no fat, low sodium chicken broth
* 1 tsp low sodium chicken base (optional)
* 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
* ½ tsp garlic powder
* salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preparation is the same as stated on the box of Rice-a-Roni. Melt the butter in a pan and saute the rice and pasta until lightly browned.

2. Add the chicken broth, base, parsley and garlic. Add any other seasonings if you would like.

3. Bring to a boil and cover, then reduce heat to low. Cook 10-15 minutes (depending on stove and your definition of low!) without lifting lid.

4. After 15 minutes check to see if all liquid has been absorbed and fluff rice with a fork. If the rice is tender but it is still a little wet just let it sit on low with the lid off for a few minutes.

This is a great side because it takes care of itself on the back burner while you make the main dish and veggies. It is also handy and convenient to keep these ingredients in your pantry-ensuring you are always prepared to whip up a side even when you haven’t thought past the main dish.

PS:

** I leave out the chicken base, salt and pepper when I cook for diabetics/dieters. Still tastes great!

** Instant long grain white rice can be used to knock off a few minutes off cook time.

Welcome to Tyrs Paladium ShadowsKat, Loaril and Tarrl !!!

Welcome Gahbriel GRIMALKIN to Tyrs Paladium!

 

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

Tyrs Paladium continues to seek bright minds that are interested in joining a group of like-minded warriors that choose to run together and support each other. We play hard and laugh hard, never leave another guildie behind and never hold our gametime to a higher standard than one of our guildies.

We do not hire based on tenure in the game. We simply seek those that wish to be a part of a guild who's main goal is practicing day in and day out the fun and legendary camaraderie DDO was founded upon.

You will find all sorts of goodwill here in Tyrs, from the moment you join. We don't just say we are a no-drama guild, we actually ensure it !

Comment here and let me know if you seek something really fun and different, something more than "just another guild."

 

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

PROUD. Thank you guildies for your loyalty! We are happy to announce that when we switched over from Ghallanda to Thrane server, even through all the SSG server chaos and lag ... that we kept our 200 guild level. We had dropped to 199 for 1-2 days --- but right back up to 200 in less than 48 hours!

That's just makes me happy. Old news by now of course, but was talking to our co-founder Paks about this yesterday and just wanted to share this with everyone who doesn't watch these things daily!

It's the Tyrs Way.
