Aerivyn considers herself a dutiful [[Mountain Elves|Mountain Elf]], having been born in [[Elamiri]] to a family blessed to be within the upper echelons of [[Mountain Elves|Mountain Elf]] society. Although she is loyal to the [[Morganae|Queen]], she was always somewhat rebellious against her parents, leading to her departure from [[Elamiri]] at a young age. Currently, she resides in [[Ilithi]] as a citizen of [[Shard]] and does what she can to help the Crystal City she now calls home.

|relat=Ezerak, Asilyia
}}
Born and raised in Elamiri, Enthal began having visions when he was still quite young. Although his parents were dedicated traders, they encouraged Enthal to seek out the guild of lunar mages to better understand the things he was seeing and to learn what he could about this gift of foresight that came so naturally to him. Throughout the initial years of his studies, be it due to Fate or simply the draw of excitement for one of such youth, Enthal found himself among the Gypsies on Taisgath, immersed in the teachings and traditions of Fortune's Path.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Enthal25-.webp|200px|left]]
Wild Card Enthal Vershir, Fatebound of the Gypsies, an Elf.
 He has a triangular face, pointed ears, jade eyes and a classical nose. His black hair is short and thick, and is worn loose. He has pale skin and a lean build.
 He is a bit over average height for an Elf.

He is wearing a dashing black fedora with an engraved silver band, a silver gypsy prosperity charm, a stylized ivory Tokka card medallion overlain with a hematite web, a dark grey wool jacket with a black braided high-collar, a practical steelsilk scholar's satchel stained with black ink, a black linen shirt with carved onyx buttons, some steelsilk handwraps, a pallid ouroboros ring carved from dreamstone, a silver wedding band channel-set with tiny summer's heart sapphires, an onyx-hide enchanter's toolbelt covered in asini symbols, a Katamba-black nightsilk telescope case clasped by a blue moonstone, a pair of charcoal grey suede pants laced with black leather, and some glossy black leather dress boots.

== Personality ==
Youth provides Enthal with a playfulness that makes him almost devious in nature, though kindhearted and innocent in many ways. He grew up in a loving household and left home with a somewhat naive view of the world that has begun to shift as the years go by, colored by the trials and tribulations that have slowly cleared the rose-tint from his spectacles.

== Family ==
Still young by Elven standards, Enthal is currently the only child born of his parents. He has one cousin, Ezerak Vershir, and a niece, Sayara Evyntine-Vershir, born of Ezerak's marriage to Lady Ayrell Evyntine-Vershir of Elamiri. Despite his family's initial expectation that Enthal would join them in the family business of trade, his parents fully supported his decision to join the guild of Moon Mages and remain proud of his progress, to this day.

=== Marriage ===
[[File:AsilyiaEnthalillustration.jpg|400px|right]]
After joining Fortune's Path, Enthal spent a few years on Taisgath before venturing out in search of adventure and trusting Fate to guide him in his travels. While on a short visit to Therenborough, he received an invitation from his cousin, Ezerak, to join him and his newly betrothed (now wife) for a family breakfast in Arthe Dale so that Enthal could meet Lady Ayrell. Pleased by the thought of seeing his cousin again, after being gone for so long, Enthal accepted the invitation and made his way to the designated location. Once there, he was surprised to learn that Ezerak was not only gaining a wife in his marriage, but a step-daughter as well. A young woman by the name of Asilyia Evyntine. Struck by Asilyia's beauty, he tried not to give in to it, though the task was made even more difficult when he discovered Asilyia to be of the same age as himself. Excited by the prospect of seeing Asilyia again, he jumped at the news of Asilyia's plan to visit Therenborough, offering to show her around, should Fate guide their paths to cross. As Fate would have it, their paths did exactly that, though not quite in the way Enthal anticipated. While showing Asilyia around the town, word began to spread of an unusual attack in which time itself appeared to have been altered, bringing with it the threat of Gorbesh warriors marching into the streets of Crossing and Riverhaven. Unsure of whether the threat would spread farther north, Enthal hid Asilyia away with him in the safety of Gealeranendae College, doing his best to ease her worries by entertaining her with card tricks and magic he'd learned during his time on Taisgath. Their time together began to forge a deeper friendship between them which eventually began to blossom into more as the weeks went on. Then, one fateful day, Enthal came across Asilyia at the Therenborough Inn where she was staying, her cheeks streaked with tears over a letter she'd received from her father. Distraught over the news the letter brought, Asilyia voiced a desire to leave Therenborough and run away to the islands, since she had never been there before and she wanted to just get away where no one would know where to find her. Concerned for her safety, and not wanting her to travel alone, Enthal offered to travel with her. In the rashness of their youth, they decided to sneak away in secret. It was while hiding away in Aesry that their friendship truly shifted, Enthal's heart beginning to believe that Fate was trying to tell him more than he initially thought, where Asilyia was concerned. Determined to see if Fate would continue to guide him, he made up his mind, taking the pair of dice he'd carved for a different purpose during the day, and deciding to put them to a more playful use. Dice in hand, he made a wager with Asilyia that would allow him to kiss her if he rolled the dice and acquired a "7." Bashfully, Asilyia accepted, unaware that the dice would only roll a "6" and "1" as carved. Eventually, Enthal admitted his trick to Asilyia, but it mattered little by then, as the two had already grown so close, Asilyia admitted she would have kissed him even if the numbers had turned up differently. Over the next few months, the two were engaged and secretly married while in Ratha before finally finding their way back home to inform their family of their union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith in leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 For personal reasons, Tathalus chose to step down from leadership at which time Darkewolff was voted in as the new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007. In 2022, the Locksmith Union hosted the first ever Interprovincial Horse Race, in which participants conducted a sort of scavenger hunt, traveling by horseback to various locations to collect tokens from LSU members, with the first contestant to collect them all and return to the starting point being declared the winner.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith is leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 [[Darkewolff]] voted in as new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles!

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith is leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union.

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith is leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 [[Darkewolff]] voted in as new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith is leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 [[Darkewolff]] voted in as new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith is leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 [[Darkewolff]] voted in as new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== Box raffle ==

The Box Raffle is an event hosted by The Locksmith Union every year or two years. Its purpose is to raise awareness and goodwill for The Locksmith Union. To receive entries into the raffle a person brings boxes to a designated location to be open by members of The Locksmith Union. Each box opened is worth one entry in the raffle up to a maximum number of entries. An additional limited number of entries can be obtained by purchasing master or grandmaster lockpicks from Union members at or above the standard price. The entry phase of the raffle typically lasts for 2 to 3 non-stop days. Hundreds of items and thousands of platinums are given away as prizes.

== Other events ==

The Locksmith Union has organized and participated in many other events including regular group raids on the [[Throne City Museum]], an exploration of the [[Penal Colony]] on [[M'riss]], and the Locksmith Union's anniversary party in 2007.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith is leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith is leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down. [[Tathalus]] was voted Leader of the Locksmith Union.
* July 2020 [[Darkewolff]] voted in as new Leader of the Locksmith Union.

== History ==

* The Locksmith Union was founded on November 16th, 2001 by [[Kraelyst the Hand]], who remained its leader until Jilette succeeded him on March 1, 2008. The founding was made public through the production of the first ever [[The_Locksmith_Union#Box_Raffle|Box Raffle]] (details below).

* During the summer of 2002 the general public was immersed in a conflict regarding lockpick prices which resulted in blame being misdirected at The Locksmith Union for fixing prices. The confusion arose because one of the Union's few rules was that its ''members'' could not sell lockpicks for less than 4 gold per master or 1 platinum per grandmaster. People hostile to the Union or Thieves or locksmiths in general began intentionally underselling lockpicks by large amounts or giving lockpicks away for free. Many locksmiths (some in the Union and some not) took retribution on people who continued to purposefully undersell lockpicks. The Locksmith Union published a statement that it was not involved with enforcing prices on non-members and did not condone nor condemn the independent acts of its members.

* Lockpick prices have continued to remain stable at approximately 4 gold per master and 1 plat per grandmaster despite the pricing conflict and despite the fact that The Locksmith Union dropped minimum lockpick prices from its member rules in 2005.

* In January 2003 The Locksmith Union became the first non-Official player organization to receive a group badge (a gleaming animite key) and an affiliation post-title "of The Locksmith Union." This was made possible by Product Manager Solomon and Senior GameMaster Jeremael who transferred the badge mechanics over from The Fallen where they were being used for the warring organizations.

* In May 2003 The Locksmith Union was granted its own Simutronics Forums avatar, which was designed by Union member Azaal Daak'tor.

* In January 2004 the first "City Reps" were named. These individuals were to coordinate efforts and act as a leader for members in their region. They included:
** Crossing Rep: Vaetle Loeion
** Riverhaven Rep: Mackes Cultellus
** Langenfirth Rep: Walcar Walcars
** Shard Rep: Silverfly Wasarbus

* In December 2004 Jilette Darkkwidow was selected as the new box raffle chairman to replace [[Kraelyst]] who had done the previous three raffles. Jilette organized the 2006 Box Raffle and the 2007 Box Raffle, which was the first to be held in a wedding area so as to be easily accessible from all major cities.

* On March 1, 2008 Kraelyst announced that Jilette Darkkwidow would succeed him has leader of the Locksmith Union.

* In late 2008 Jilette due to Real Life reasons stopped Playing Dragonrealms, leaving a leadership vacume in the Union, and due to the Union's rules it cannot induct new members until a new leader is chosen.

* October 2010 The Locksmith Union met with the Orders GM to talk about choosing a new leader. Candidates were asked to email the GM and answer questions, the outcome of which, she would choose a new leader. However, no Leader has been selected as of yet, and the Union still remains in a state of stagnation.

* November 2010 [[Shannodoah]] named new leader of the Union. [[Shannodoah]] would somewhat soon there after step down from leadership of the Locksmith Union. Though he would key as his first new member [[Arandrowse]]. [[Druesyllia]] soon thereafter took over Leadership of the Locksmith Union, including returning the popular Box Raffles! She stepped down from leadership handing the leadership over to [[Arandrowse]] in May 2016.
* December 2016 A vote was called for by [[Nebby]] for the removal of [[Arandrowse]] as leader of the Union. A No-faith is leadership vote was taken and concluded that [[Arandrowse]] was to step down from his role. [[Nideaya]] was voted in as Acting-Leader until an official vote could occur.
* January 2017 Nideaya was voted in a Leader of the Locksmith Union. Akudyn would be voted in as an Officer representing the Islands. Nebby would be voted in next as Officer representing the Zoluren area. Tallen as Event Coordinator. Linue was also voted in as Treasurer. Aedineus would contribute voted in as Scrolls and Records.
* January 2018 Pazohn voted in as Officer representing Shard.
* August 2019 A vote was called for by [[Tathalus]] for the removal of [[Nideaya]] as leader of the Union. A No-Faith vote was taken and it was decided by unanimous vote that [[Nideaya]] (who had been absent from several recent meetings) was to step down.
