The Sha’tor is an order of draenei dedicated to the preservation of their people and culture, as well as honoring their place within the Alliance. With equal parts tenacity and hope, the Sha’tor aids in defending against the myriad threats that bombard Azeroth, while simultaneously supporting the draenei people as a whole in the quest to rebuild and thrive in the world they now call home.
WHAT TO EXPECT
As a lore-abiding guild, we want members who are knowledgeable about Warcraft lore, especially regarding the draenei. But beyond that, a guild’s heart lies in its members and their ability to be helpful, friendly, and good-natured. A willingness to engage in roleplay and other activities with fellow members is also a great thing to have; it is the driving force behind a successful, active guild, and promotes a welcoming environment.
The Sha’tor offers an array of avenues for roleplay, chief among them an ongoing guild storyline that members can participate in by attending plot events. Members are also encouraged to develop their characters through guild plot progression, as well as personal storylines. Additionally, cultural and public events are held to promote inclusion of our allies. Our Discord has an in-character roleplay channel to promote roleplay outside of the game, and we offer “Mission Board” prompts on our discord. We also offer a buddy system that pairs new members off with veteran ones to help them get acclimated to the guild atmosphere and make sure new members always have someone they’re comfortable with to answer questions.
Our guild events typically start at 8pm server time. There are typically two IC events:
A Plot event (Monday) that continues the overall storyline. A Conclave event (Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday depending on scheduling) that involves individual Conclave members only. We have a very casual, laidback raid team that meets on Wednesday night. Finally, an Induction Ceremony which acts as an IC guild meeting is held once a month. Sometimes, a second Conclave event is used in the same week, or we collaborate with ally guilds for other events. There is always something to look forward to!
GUILD STRUCTURE
The Sha’tor is headed by the Exarch and his Triumvirate—individuals who have proven their loyalty and are diverse in both skill and demeanor. The Triumvirate act as advisors to the Exarch, and are tasked with specialized leadership, most notably the three paths of the order.
- Conclave of Light — Led by Aalesia; serve as the Sha’tor’s military, healers, and spiritualists.
- Conclave of Argus — Led by Velorn; scholars, scientists, artificers, and other keepers of draenei history and culture.
- Conclave of the Shanai — Led by Orynthia; humanitarians seeking a peaceful resolution to conflicts act as ambassadors around Azeroth. Also the Conclave is home to any non-draenei that wish to join the Order.
Members will be asked to join one of these paths according to their primary interest. Classes are not indicative to which Conclave you join. Example: A paladin does not have to join the Conclave of Light if their interest lie more with the others.
HOW TO JOIN
In order to join, aspiring members must fill out a simple application on our website. If accepted, applicants will be asked to undergo an in-character interview so that the Triumvirate may gauge whether they will be a good fit for the Sha’tor.
Do not let inexperience—whether with draenei lore, or roleplay as a whole—deter you from applying! We are glad to help, so long as the interest and willingness to learn is there.
