Given that Star Wars: The Old Republic was where most of us met and that we had a large number of fans in the community, a load of us decided to meetup for the first new Star Wars film in the sequel trilogy. Given that a majority of the members are the time lived in the South of England, we decided to once again meetup relatively near London.

By the time that the first FFXIV Fan Fest was announced, the Orphans of Treno branch of the Orphans in Final Fantasy XIV had been strongly established. As such, the second official Orphans meetup had been organised to meetup at this event. This event saw more information being released by as of then not yet released Heavensward expansion to the game. The Orphans (Ragnarok) teamed up with The Timber Owls (Moogle) who Shu happened to be friends with and together they cleared the Roulette Challenge and the Odin Battle Challenge (we even got the shirt!)

The MCM London Comic Con back in May 2014 was the first official organised Orphans meetup. Several attendees had attended MCM events prior but decided to use this as a purpose for meeting up. London was selected due to its easy travel links for people wishing to attend from the rest of the country. Was nice to finally put a face to the voices.

Founding Members:
- Shuartzu Iakuoy
- El Macho
- Valakai Eidolon
- Cujo Morpork
SWTOR 2.0 – Rise of the Hutt Cartel
April 14, 2013
Orphans of Taris Founded
December 31, 2012
Scholars maintain that the guild, Orphans of Taris, was formed sometime between the closing months of 2012 or the first few months of 2013. The exact date has however been lost to history. Regardless, this was the very beginning of what we know as “The Orphans”.
The guild was formed due to one of the four founders comments being noticed in the general chat of Coruscant by the now Guildmaster, Valéfor. The simple message by Elberis stating “Looking for a guild that finds my dead baby jokes funny” was the catalyst for the guild forming and thus the guild was formed as a haven for sarcasm and political incorrectness.
Founding Members:
- Valéfor
- Jal’sseenee
- Dontech
- Elberis
