[A/RP] <The Court of Lions> Recruitment

Introducing The Court of Lions!

Leadership:
GM: Barbro, Co-GM: Gaylic, Quillson
Officers: Ballknocker, Dione, Miadarrah, Thora, Umbriel, Venusdemilo, Wowneon

<The Court of Lions> is a Roleplay guild on Alliance side of Earthen Ring that also casually runs PvE content. During Legion we ran Mythic and Keystone dungeons regularly as well as normal raids. We welcome every level or skill Roleplayer, from the beginner to the veteran. Bonus if you're a RPer who also enjoys PvE with a casual, relaxed group.

Our mission is outreach and supporting new roleplayers, to bring active and public roleplay on the Earthen Ring community. We strive to be a place of inclusion and the idea that you can roleplay at any level and wherever place. Our community is proud to be the home for new roleplayers and old roleplayers alike. We’re currently and always looking for additional members for our family and community.

Whisper any officer or member online if you are interested in joining our ranks! You may also visit our website (below), or send in-game mail to GM Barbro.
We look forward to roleplaying & seeing you in-game!

The Court of Lions has been through a few changes throughout the years, beginning as The Conjurers Court in 2009, The Alliance Protectorate, and most recently The Royal Lions Brigade. We are one of Earthen Ring’s most active roleplaying guilds.

Whether you are just getting back into the game for Battle for Azeroth, are a new player, or are interested in Roleplay and looking for a good group of people - check us out.
We can be found all over Azeroth, and beyond, but if you want to find us in one place... try the Pub Nights every other Thursday in Dalaran! At least a few of us will be there and are happy to RP with you!

We have gained more interest in grouping up for Mythics and Keystones as well as talk of raiding in the near future. It seems we are always in search of a tank when we go.

If you are an RPer that has interest in tanking Mythics and Keystones and possibly raids in the near future in a relaxed and casual environment, find myself or one of our officers in game!
Giving this thread a bump.

We have been running Mythics pretty regularly and will be working toward some more difficult Keystones in the coming days and have a pretty solid group for these.

However, now people are talking about interest in raiding! We would love to give current raid content a try, we should be set for tanks now. We could use a backup healer as well as some solid DPS while we work on getting our rag tag raid team assembled.

As always, we are primarily an RP guild.
So if you are an RPer that is also interested in a taste of some of the end game Mythics, Keystones, and possible raiding in a laid back, friendly environment, find me or any of our members in game to ask about joining.
We are still looking for RPers to join our ranks! While we are an RP-focused guild, we are also seeking RPers who enjoy some current level PvE.

This past Saturday evening The Court of Lions managed to take down The Emerald Nightmare raid on Normal without a hitch. These next coming weekends will be continuing our raid endeavors. We focus on building our members up, working through things together in a friendly and fun environment.

If you are an RPer interested in current level PvE such as casual raiding, a regular Mythics group that can easily carry, plus Keystone dungeons find myself Barbro in game or any of our members for more information.
We are still recruiting RPers of any sort, as well as RPers who have an interest in PvE. A handful of our members also especially enjoy PvP and run random battlegrounds during the evening.

The Court of Lions took down the Trial of Valor normal raid this past weekend on Normal. We were down a couple DPS and managed first boss Odyn with only 7!

Our highest need are warlocks, druids, and melee classes of any sort. Looking for some solid DPS as we will be moving into The Nighthold this coming week or next week.

Raid time Saturdays at 8 PM EST (Realm Time). Find GM Barbro in game, or my alt Glahn, or any of our members for more information on joining our ranks!
This past Saturday raid night we got 6/10 through Nighthold, with time against us as our stopping factor. We have decided that 2 hours raiding is about our limit, though this may change in future depending on what the team wants and is willing to do.

We are always looking for any RPers of any skill or level. Fresh off the boat types that know literally nothing but are interested in learning? We love to help new RPers get a feel and learn, without the elitist attitudes or breaking people down. We have a number of RPers who have been around a long time and we are more than happy to share our experience.

As stated in an earlier post, as far as our raiding, we have decided to do a need before greed DKP system, with bonuses for on-time attendance, staying the entire raid night, and a one-time bonus for reaching ilvl 900. More info on our loot system is posted in our raiding thread on our guild website.

Feel free to find myself in game, or my alt Glahn, or any of our members currently online. We would love to meet you.
We are always currently seeking RPers to join our ranks! Any level or skill are welcome to join us. We are also seeking RPers who enjoy some laid back and casual PvE. We regularly run Mythics+ and we have gotten a raid team (mostly) assembled.

About our raiding:

Currently we alternate progression bi-weekly, with off weeks running prior raids for quests and achieves. If we do not have the attendance or ilvl for ToS, we will hit the previous raids instead.

Progression weeks:
Wednesdays 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM EST & Saturday 8:00 PM - 10:30 PM EST
Currently: 3/9 N ToS, and have only taken first steps in here.

Off weeks:
Saturdays 8:00 PM - 10:30 PM EST and work on EN / ToV / NH.
Currently: H 7/7, N 3/3, N 6/10

We like to keep things as fun as possible for everyone. Yes we wipe. Yes mistakes are made. Yes we are learning. But YES we are here to build each other up & learn together. Generally we are pretty awesome though.

This means you won't get chewed out if a pull goes bad. You're not going to be kicked if you mess something up. There might be a few grumbles, but nobody is going to be calling each other names or getting heated and yelling.

We are here to have fun & we would love for you to join us.
High needs are Melee classes, Warlocks & Druids. But anyone will be considered!
Tonight The Court of Lions managed to one shot all bosses in The Nighthold.

We are officially:
H 7/7, N 3/3, N 10/10, N 3/9

We have still only hit Normal Tomb of Sargeras once. This next Wednesday the 15th we are planning on another run, along with pushing the following Saturday the 18th.
I hope everyone out there on Earthen Ring and beyond has a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Realized I had not updated our raid progress, so here it is:
N,H 7/7, N 3/3, N 10/10, N 4/9
A big thank you to all who came out for our monthly For The Alliance! achievement run last night to get their Black War Bear mounts. The number of guildies who actually attend this PvP event varies quite a lot, but last night we had a good turnout of Lions plus a handful from the general Earthen Ring community.

We successfully hit all of the Horde leaders and I saw a number of people get their Black War Bear mounts! This is the second month in a row that we have been able to hit all 4 of the Horde's leaders. This was also the 5th month I hosted, during the last weekend of the month.

We went back and hit Undercity and Silvermoon City twice more, and managed to take down Thunder Bluff a 3rd time.
We take in any skill level of Roleplayers and love teaching people how to RP. If you're a RPer or would like to learn more about RP, or would like to become a RPer, find any of our members in game.

The Lions are also hoping to step into Antorus within the next couple of weeks. We are still looking for a regular OT to join us, as well as some more Melee, along with Druids & Warlocks.
We are hoping to finish clearing Tomb of Sargeras on Normal this week before moving into Antorus.

Raid Days/Times:
Wednesday 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM EST
Saturdays 8:00 PM - 10:30 PM EST

Always looking for RolePlayers of any skill or level to join our ranks, as well as RPers who enjoy running Current PvE content with a friendly and laid back group.

We have weekly RP events, from Story Night to Sunday evening Vesper prayer service, brawl pub, seasonal events, and guild-centric storylines. We also regularly attend community RP events, most notably the Tavern Night in Dalaran hosted by <Templars of the Rose>.

People may notice Earthen Ring is a small and quiet realm, but those of us who remain are happy to call it home. It is generally an open, welcoming and tight-knit community! Come out and Roleplay with us, and say hi in game!
I hope everyone had a happy holiday season and wish everyone a very happy & prosperous new year!

It has been a wonderful year for The Court of Lions. We have accomplished so much this year as a guild on Earthen Ring, which by and large is a very small and quiet realm. From a change in command, to the many faces new and old, to moving from strictly-RP to RP/PvE and hitting raids, Mythics, and Keystones just about every week...we've come a long way!

This past weekend after hitting Heroic Emerald Nightmare for some quests and tmog and lulz our group stepped foot into Antorus for fun. We downed the first boss without much difficulty, so The Court of Lions is officially 1/11 (until this Wednesday).
We hit Antorus Wednesday and one shot Worldbreaker & Felhounds. Eonar took us a couple of tries but we managed it!

And a random side note:
Hoping to put together a somewhat regular PUG to hit older raids to finish up quests, get transmog, help out lower ilvl peeps and alts, what have you.

Currently looking at Monday evenings at 6 PM EST (Realm Time) for our "In B4 Reset" night. Clearing out H Emerald Nightmare and N Trial of Valor, probably weekly until I get a "Ughhh Barb not EN & ToV againnnnn".

ilvl not super important as the majority of us are overgeared, but I would not recommend a fresh 110 because you would likely die a lot. We're generally a very laid back, casual group of raiders who just enjoys having fun together. Jerks and elitists won't fit in with this group, sorry.

If interested, send me a whisper in game. I'll end up dropping our discord server info into raid chat that evening for people who are not familiar with fights.
We continue to grow steadily with lots of events on our calendar, from raids to RP! We are a pleasant change from pugs and stats-centric gaming; we're less interested in your gear and more into having a laugh together.

Need some folks to help you with an achievement? Want some xmog gear from old content but it's lonely running through Molten Core alone? Interested in being part of an accepting and loyal group that will be there when you want to be serious or goof off? The Lions are right here.
Just a post on our raid progress. We went through and one shot Portal Keeper tonight, which was amazing. We cleaned up Desolate Host in Tomb with our off-week group also. Tonight we had a good run with High Command, but we still have some bugs to work out before we are able to run in and one shot it.

Current Raid Progress:
N,H 7/7, N 3/3, N 10/10, N 6/9, N 4/11
We are still (and always) seeking Roleplayers to join our ranks. Bonus if you're a Roleplayer that enjoys running PvE content with a laid back group.

The Court of Lions is proud to say that it has always been our mission of outreach and support of new roleplayers. We have new RPers and old alike that are glad to call The Court of Lions home. We take those only beginning their RP journey, as well as those who are veteran RPers.

In this guild, we're not going to call you bad or nub for still learning RP. We pride ourselves on our inclusiveness and willingness to help those learn and grow in their RP journey. We also offer RP Classes bi-weekly that everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of RP skill. We all have something to learn and to offer!
We love new friends and faces and we welcome any Roleplayer regardless of skill or level!

For those only beginning their Roleplay journey, this Friday the 2nd we are hosting our "Social Hour" Roleplay Class. This is currently a bi-weekly event that may move to a weekly event if needed. We cover some of the absolute beginner basics of RP, terms we feel every RPer should have a handle on, and this week we will be learning about RP battles. This is aimed at our newest RPers, but all of our members are invited to attend and share their knowledge.
During non-progression raid nights we often go through and hit older tier raids for quests and farming, and will go through and attempt Heroic versions at times. We officially completed Heroic Trial of Valor this week.

Current progress:
N,H 7/7, N/H 3/3, N 10/10, N 6/9, N 4/11

We've also started a joined effort with an allied guild off realm to clear Antorus on Saturdays most weeks. Because of this, we have moved our regular Guild raid night from 8 PM to 6 PM, with our Allied Run to start at 8 PM.

With our allied run, we expect ilvl 930+, prior attendance and reliability, and preparedness!
