[A-RP] Army of the Northguard (Prepared for the Prepatch)

IC:
Embittered by the end result of the Fourth War and the conflicts that filled it, many Gilneans have begun to question the merits of remaining with the Alliance. Some were already to the conclusion that it was not worth it. Feeling trapped as refugees, a Kingdom in Exile, they waited for the Alliance to liberate their land and rebuild it.

But then when they found the truth in many other groups, those who had lost hope and their homes, this small group of Gilneans recognized that they could not wait on Alliance intervention. Inspired by the deeds of heroes and rebels in the past, the Northguard was founded. They were to be the storm that finally washed away the death that smothered the north, a great aegis to finally defend those who had been left behind.

The Northguard are enemies of the Horde, and are no friends of the Alliance, yet also seek aide from other Alliance fringe groups. This includes but is not limited to groups akin to the Scarlet Crusade, the Silver Hand, or other related anti-Forsaken and pro-independence groups in the Northern Eastern Kingdoms. This also includes Kaldorei groups that dislike the Alliance and are attempting to go their own way.

The Northguard’s goals will one day see them come into conflict with the Alliance, but for now, they are in a tenuous relationship. Defying the cease-fire isn’t anything new, so can the Alliance really punish such a small group for it? And anyways, they’re seemingly just targeting Sylvanas loyalists and rightly reclaiming territory. There’s little to do, politically, about them.

OOC:

We’re looking for officers, storytellers, and any general rpers who are interested in this whole shebang!

We have a discord!

This community will be LGBT+ friendly, as well anti-racist, anti-bullying, etc. Don’t talk about your politics, don’t talk about what you think about someone’s religion. Leave that at the door.

So! Tell me what you think! If you want to join up, help me out, or want to follow the progress, you can find me on discord as Sint!?!?!?!#3073 . Feel free to also contact me over the forums, here, because I’ll be paying attention to it when I can!

The Northguard is going to be almost completely centered on RP content until or if we grow large enough to sustain PvE and PvP content. But PvE and PvP will never be more important than our RP. If content gets in the way of our storytelling, we’ll cancel it.

I’ll be around in Stormwind today, but trust me, this guild won’t be Stormwind centric at all. As soon as I can leave it, the better.

You have a cool guild concept on your hands, one that has a lot in common with ours albeit from the opposite side of the fence. Maybe we can work out something sometime!

P.S. The guild I am referring to is the < Shadowed Star > as the forums have not yet updated my profile despite me leaving the guild currently listed on my profile five days ago

The entirety of Lordaeron Unbound sweats nervously, even though they’re dead and it makes no logical sense

Good luck guys! Keen to see what transpires!

For what (very very very very little) it’s worth, as I generally prefer to hunt mogs than RP, this is the kind of story that this toon of mine would fit into very well. He doesn’t care that you’re doggoes. He just wants to rip and tear at the Horde until the last of them falls or he dies, whichever comes first… He’d enlist if you’d have him.

If you ever need some help with story stuff, whether it be edits or someone to bounce ideas off of, gimme a poke!

You’ve returned :scream:

Is there enough scope to foresee RPPvP events between Forsaken guilds?

I won’t write that off, at all!

In fact, I’m looking forward to potentially working with Forsaken and other Horde guilds. It’d definitely give the Northguard better relevancy ( and other guilds get to have more fun ) if they face off against real players.

Though I’m not keen on actual PvP. Roll battles are more than likely.

Great concept! If you look back in my post history you’ll find that I’ve defied the forsaken war against Gilneas at great personal cost. If you should need a hordeside operative in the future, be sure to hit me up!

Finishing today with a lot done! The Northguard’s looking to do our first event fairly soon! So if you wanna join, between now and whenever the date is decided is the time.

The event will hopefully be between now and next Sunday.

Recruitment could’ve gone better, but I’m playing the long game. Ranks are almost finalized, and the First Event is definitely being worked on! It’s being smoothly worked out!

Good second day.

:eyes:

out of curiosity… what do you have in mind for your first event?

Base building! We’ve got to get somewhere to root ourselves in, so we decided to use multiple proxy locations to represent the town we’re going to reclaim from the feral Scourge of the Northern Eastern Kingdoms.

So we need to clean up house. Beat the undead in town, claim ourselves a gold mine, find ourselves a decent quarry, and even find a way to get good lumber in a mostly plagued out zone.

So, it’s bound to be a lot of fun combat against the unliving, as well as our first steps into establishing a base for future operations!
