Apply to Valhalla today!
Valhalla is a long standing and proven alliance, over two years old, residing primarily in the purple sphere. Valhalla is an Ideal. It is the gathering of those who would see a brighter future. It is those with the patience and vigilance to see that through. Many older and larger nations reside in Valhalla along with many younger ones. Our membership is currently around 150, and we continue to go from strength to strength.
Valhalla are a selective group and as such membership into Valhalla is also selective. We urge those who would like to make a change, or those who would like to become more than they currently are to apply. The selection process is meant to eliminate your run of the mill inactive players or those who are not interested in the alliances they join. Far too often alliances have found themselves with a lot of numbers but no substance behind them. We are not about numbers. We are about substance, quality, about freedoms, and about each other.
