Phase 1___________________________________________________________________________________________
• The story of Twilight of Spirits begins more than a year back. Two friends, Albedo and the now known megaTORN, had been discussing Albedo's hopes and dreams of running a clan himself. These discussions spanned many key components which would later serve as the foundations of Twilight of Spirits. Such matters as what image they wanted to portray, and how the clan would be administered were amongst the subjects debated at these meetings. With the flow of constant ideas, and the effort to make these ideals a reality, all seemed to be marching along smoothly in its appropriate course. Then, calamity struck: Albedo ultimately lost hope in the project and came to believe it wasn't worth completing. The combined efforts of these two men had now deteriorated to one. The Project's realization seemed destined to be simply discarded; forgotten as nothing more than an obsolete stage of common imagination.
• Then, shortly thereafter, another major event took place which altered the course of Twilight of Spirits's history. A third individual, Zabuza21 now known as Oxis, became a part of this premature scene. Oxis used everything in his power to ensure the survival and initiation of The Project. Ultimately, he came to fought day in and day out to persuade megaTORN to officially establish the clan. The fruits of his labor were first seen when on January 20th, 2009 Twilight of Spirits raised its flag amongst the many other new clans. It had been less than a week since the official founding of Soul Arena.
At long last, the clan had finally been born; The Project had officially been initiated. At the very beginning of Twilight of Spirits's tale, however, the newly formed cult seemed not to have any unique characteristics or any remarkable traits. Nothing made Twilight of Spirits stand out: not its in-game capabilities, not its graphics, absolutely nothing.
Even with the odds stacked against them, the Ancients of Twilight of Spirits pushed forward. They pursued the ideals with which the clan had been established, and never ceased their journey of discovering new ways with which to improve their Nation.
• Most of the other clans created during the start of consciousness on Soul Arena had already disappeared. Yet Twilight of Spirits was still more than alive and well. Each new glorious morning brought with it the satisfaction of growth, of unification, and of prosperity. It was during this period that Twilight gained some of the most prolific members in the Arena: from Electrofrost, one of our best in-gamers, to Soifon, also a champion at in-gaming and an excellent leader.
Slowly but steadily our influence increased, as did our popularity. The clan began to take on such members as Mike_Punker, now known as Onigami, and Grimm_. This duo is responsible for the mind rape caused by our innovating graphics, and needless to say constitute Twilight of Spirits's best graphics designing combo.
Many different individuals, each with their own unique personalities and superior talents in an array of fields, attained the Twilight rank and contributed to our prosperity.
• Now with the First Stage of history behind them, the members of Twilight Nation carried on with the hope of expanding even further.
Phase 2___________________________________________________________________________________________
• The period immediately following the First Stage came to be dictated by two opposing elements: activity and inactivity.
• There seemed to be times when activity within the ranks of Twilight was at its peak. In contrast to these hot spots, there were times when it seemed that the members had simply forgotten about their pride. This interchanging from periods of activity to periods of inactivity, and vice versa, lead to a chaotic instability within the clan. The reputation Twilight had achieved for its elite skills in the art of in-gaming was declining, and this decline was only accelerated with the sudden loss of Electrofrost. The leaders, more than troubled by the deterioration of Twilight, decided that hosting a Recruitment Tournament would be one of many possible solutions to the current crisis which was pinning the clan down. Many fine warriors placed forward their applications once they had seen this call to battle. At the end of this fierce competition, the leaders found a beautiful gem amongst the rocks: DutchShinobi.
• A champion of the Arena, and a beast in many other arts, DutchShinobi became Twilight's new hope for regaining its old glory at the game. With his entrance into the ranks of the clan, there were also many hopes of reestablishing a permanent period of activity. But alas, the situation did not improve as had been expected. If anything, the activity and stability of Twilight of Spirits only decayed ever further into dead man's abyss. Members had stopped signing on altogether, and the general processes of the clan saw a sheer decrease in completion. In short, the most repulsive epoch of inactivity had crawled its way into the very foundations of Twilight.
• megaTORN, not the type to idly sit by while his clan was being dismantled, decided to take control of the effort to bring back solidity to the inner functions of Twilight of Spirits. He began to abruptly take such methods as recruiting at a much brisker pace. There were times when he did not even consult his peers beforehand. Yet, with time being the most crucial factor in determining the survival of the clan, fresh blood was the oil which would be essential to keep TwiS from becoming inoperable.
With the flow of new members, and their encouraging mindsets, the clan was gradually shifting to an energetic part of its history. Even with this sluggish alteration of the times, however, the overall performance of Twilight had only just been enriched. megaTORN, not in the slightest content with the status quo, began calling out a number of his members. He questioned the dedication and resolve of these members in regards to TwiS. It was during this chapter of interrogations that a scandalous incident occurred: a skirmish between megaTORN and a potential leader to the clan resulted in the ladder's complete departure from Twilight of Spirits.
When the news reached the eyes of the TwiS members, it created a dense atmosphere of astonishment. This individual's leaving was a kick in the teeth to every last active and remaining member of Twilight of Spirits. Several meetings were convoked after the fiasco with the purpose of determining what route the clan should undertake. Numerous possibilities had been put forward, amongst them was the frivolous proposition of disbandment.
• The few active members which had endured debated the destiny of their Nation in these meetings. Ultimately, after quite a few interchange of opinions, a consensus was reached: The members would not allow Twilight of Spirits to be simply thrown out. They would use everything in their power to start a phase of reconstruction. The coalesce of the efforts of both leaders and members was to finally start the Golden Stage in the perpetual saga of Twilight of Spirits.
• The seemingly never-ending depression of the Second Stage was at its close. The members kept their vows, and through their determination Twilight has now entered its long awaited Golden Age. With our influence, popularity, and bonds; both within our ranks and outside of these, at their peak TwiS has pierced the archaic boundaries first set by the Ancient Clans. The clan has even had the pleasure to welcome back some of its first, and most respected, members.
• At the end of a Stage filled with dilemma after dilemma, Twilight of Spirits stands as formidable as ever. The troubled times unified the clan, and it was this unification which allowed it to carry on through the tempest of pandemonium.
Phase 3___________________________________________________________________________________________
• Now a year after its initial release, Twilight of Spirits stands amongst the elite. With new members entering, it seems as if Twilight of Spirits is reaching the potential initially put forth by its creators, its founders. With new amazing members, strong new leadership, and unrivaled unity, Twilight stands high with the dawn of a new generation. With X3ro0x, Grimm_, and Soifon now leading the way, Twilight will make it beyond the sky.
