Forlorn Hope

Aincrad's largest guild. Lead by Kenneth Valden, it is the world's oldest and most influential guild. FH stresses duty above all else and punishes the disloyal. It is organized rather loosely, with the higher level players constantly on the front lines and the lower levels constantly training.

They fight for the liberation of players from Aincrad, but are fiercely competitive with each other for obvious reasons. As such, they are not tied to each other closely. Kenneth has made it clear that his goal is not to create a close knit group of friends, but a group of allies working to clear the game. Whoever ends up at the top is none of Kenneth's concern. However, his leadership and character still attracts numerous people to the guild.

Ideology: Hope motivates people to try again. But when faced with impossible odds where hope cannot exist, what will they do? Collapse in terror and despair. But not we. We do not need hope. We fight because we have to fight. We cannot do anything else. We can only struggle until our bones bleach in the sun.
