Call of Fate Guild Interview

Welcome to our first guild interview! Each month we will be interviewing two guilds on a selected server, one from Order and the other from Destruction. We will try to interview guilds who've clashed a few times in the game, to see what the sides thinks of each other.

Order continues to fight the deadly ranks of charging Destruction hordes wherever they can. While in a heated battle on the Ostermark server, I had a chance to exchange some Q&A between swings of maces and spell charges with the Order guild, Call of Fate.

Read on to see what they have to say about the Destruction realm plaguing Ostermark!
