The Arawn server has a rich history that has been crafted over many years by clans and players that have slipped into legend. In this post I will tell about the course of events that started at the beginning of the game, which led us to where we are in the present day. This is Part 2 of the history of Arawn

The only person left to be the main tank for Juppongatana was Kooks, who was know as a major seller of anything and everything. Juppongatana approached Kooks about joining them and gearing him up as a tank if he would help out the clan with their Warden armor. He agreed, and Juppon started defeating bosses to gear up their members.
Through observation and testing, Juppongatana saw that the preferred method of killing a boss would be to use bolas, and to have a tank walk in front of it while others hit it from behind. This method is now known as "walking" or "kiting", but was then known as "rodeo clown" because it looked funny as Kooks would lead the boss around staying just out of reach while Zumuclyst used bolas on it.
However, the first time Falgren was defeated on October 10, it was due to the glitch Xeon employed that made Falgren cast Heal and Bark, but not attack. While Falgren was glitched, Xeon and Raven started attacking. However, it took so long that Raven had fallen asleep. When Raven woke up in the morning, he found that Xeon had given up the fight when Falgren started healing and he could not out damage the heal. By this time though, Falgren had run out of energy and could no longer heal, because he was casting spells the entire night. Raven called his clan, and using only ranged damage, clan Juppongatana was able to kill Falgren. It was the first Falgren kill out of all the servers.

As more and more bosses were defeated, Kooks had decided that he had repaid the clan enough, and started keeping disc fragments to sell. As the only tank who was capable of fighting Falgren, Kooks was quite open about selling fragments, because without him no one would get any drops at all. He also demanded a full set of Darkflame armor from the Halloween 2011 event, or he refused to tank the Undead Fire Titan. The final straw was when Kook's girlfriend started playing, and he started skimming disc fragments from bosses and Darkflame Armor for her, instead of having her wait her turn like everyone else. Many members sacrificed drops for Kooks to get his set first, and they felt he was cheating he clan by doing this. Despite being the highest leveled tank on the server, Kooks was kicked from the clan and was shunned by all members at bosses, getting not one buff or heal from Juppon's druids. However, this left Juppon without a tank as Bronn was not reliably active. Gereldar suggested that Frank should be geared up as the clan tank.

Juppongatana disbanded on November 18, 2011 and was reborn as Serenity. One of the main goals was that the clan be free from drama. Raven continued as chief of Serenity, bringing with him loyal clan members who were level appropriate for the end game bosses. The lower leveled people from Juppon that did not get invited to Serenity were urged to join some of the smaller clans at the time: Uskoci and Sparta. Serenity was also founded by members of the clan King-O-Wing, who were known to be experienced players, and shared in the leadership of Serenity. Among them were Kingowing, SirWinston, Chopsaw, and some others. There was no chief of Serenity, as the bank was made chief. All decisions in the clan were made democratically by voting on their Facebook page.
Serenity dominated Arawn in the early days of Update 2. They were able to take down any boss with no competition, and for that many saw them as elitist and selfish because they would not group underleveled characters in a boss group. What many people failed to understand was that you needed to be level 60 to do damage to most bosses, and that group space was limited to four people. People also did not realize that Serenity was working to gear up people on the server after they geared themselves. Under Serenity's direction, Frank set up "Uncle Frank's Frag Shop" where you could buy disc fragments for a very low price.

Uskoci was a small clan mostly made up of Serenity alts, led by Tomo with his sidekick Vinci. They started out as a quiet clan with a lot of warriors, and did virtually no raiding but slowly built their membership as Serenity members got bored and created alternate characters.

Another major clan in update 2 was Celts, formed by Obfionn. Shortly before the end of December 2011, Teaweasel took over as chieftain. They would grow much larger in the coming year.
