THE SCYTHE IS OUR SALVATION

Cult of the Wolf

Cult of the Wolf is a werewolf style worgen RP guild, based on the Wolf Cult from worgen lore. Themes include living and hunting as a pack, shapeshifting to navigate the city, and sharing the curse via bite with willing aspirants. We are a heavy roleplay guild now on Moon Guard, running wild and free in Duskwood since October 30th 2016.

Lore

In lore, the Wolf Cult is a secret organization comprised of the Silverpine and Duskwood packs of worgen. It is seen first in the Gilneas starter zone, and explained in detail in the five part WoW comic Curse of the Worgen, and the prequel Dark Riders. While the foolish believe the worgen gift to be a curse, this order believes it is a blessing, and embrace its strengths and the wild. Lead by Alpha Prime - the first worgen - they orchestrated the attack on Gilneas, and make up the sentient worgen you see attacking the city, biting as many as possible. After Prime’s death, much of the Wolf Cult has gone into hiding in the woods as the Bloodfang and Nightbane, and our humble group is part of the latter in Duskwood. We embrace the “Purity”, share with those ready to receive, and shapeshift to reach more of the lost and confused. The goal; to live as we were meant to, to grow as a people, and to one day take our place as the apex predators of this world.

Structure

Members are required to have Discord and TRP3, be over 18, and be a worgen or want to become one. Rules include act mature and respect players, do not ERP with minors or in the open, and respect and follow lore to the best of your ability. Events are held throughout the week at 10-12 CST and include a mix of hunts, rituals, campaign events, and casual RP.

The fiend of which I write is the Worgen. Old, rural folklore may hearken to these creatures. For what farmer’s child has not heard tales of beastly wolf-men stalking the fields and marshes outside his village? And truth may hide in such tales–perhaps they are warnings against the Worgen, veiled as myths to frighten us. But before such tales are dismissed, let me now assure the reader: Worgen are real. They may not be from our world, but avenues exist between their home and ours and powerful magic can pull them here. Such chants are best left unuttered. For where ever the Worgen tread, they bring terror and bloodshed with them.

Information

:scroll: Lore Foundation

Cult of the Wolf is based on the Wolf Cult from worgen lore, described in detail in source material such as Curse of the Worgen, Dark Riders, and ingame quests. The Cult believes the curse is a blessing, calling it “The Purity”. Under their leader, Alpha Prime, the cult orchestrated the “outbreak” in Gilneas, and thrives to this day in Duskwood.

:wolf: Canon Worgen

The cult was created on the foundations of the canon worgen, as portrayed by the game and its story. While we are inspired by werewolf cinema and folklore, we strive to maintain canonicity to the best of our ability, with room for creativity. Worgen are portrayed with golden eyes, but with several other options available. The race does not, however, grow additional appendages. Wolfsbane is deadly, the curse is spread through bite and blood, humans and kaldorei can become worgen, shapeshifting is gradual, and all worgen hunt.

:house: Structure

Cult of the Wolf is a heavy roleplay guild valuing quality over quantity, with a slow immersive progression experience. We adapt canon lore on the Wolf Cult into our guild ranks, rules, and more. Requirements and Rules are in place to ensure a quality and safe environment, and we remain worgen only (with exceptions, see below) to preserve the pack atmosphere. Ranks are gained through event requirements, rites of passage, and rituals. Leadership is called “Packlord”, as in alpha of this group of nightbane, while “Packleader” is held by the npc Marus, alpha of all nightbane.

:calendar: Events

Events are held throughout the week at 10-12 CST (8-11 PST) and include a variety of hunts, campaign events, and casual RP.

:small_orange_diamond: Hierarchy

Hierarchy is a common theme in both pack cultures and cult organizations. Being both, it is no surprise that the Wolf Cult of World of Warcraft lore involves aspects of initiation, rank progression, and leadership. We see this ingame with various NPCs labeled Initiates or Packleaders, and again throughout the comics, which even depict the Wolf Cult’s rites of initiation. With such details available, we have adapted this lore into the structure of the guild. New members will start at the bottom as an Aspirant wishing to join, and will climb rank through various challenges including both guild events and character growth.

:game_die: Style

Our goal is to provide the best worgen pack experience possible, using the themes and canon lore above to form an engaging story. Most if not all scheduled guild events will be for casual or d20 roleplay, with unscheduled content between events. TRP3 is a must, and character help is available. As a guild based on WoW antagonists, themes include violence, criminality, nudity, drug use, and even darker antagonists. We use the Nightbane areas of Duskwood, and use human form in cities to avoid being recognized as terrorists cultists and criminals.

“The curse more than heightened our senses. We see things that no normal human can. Some call you Lo’Gosh, though that they use a Taur-ahe title for you I find ironic. Still, it is but another name for Goldrinn, as we have come to know our patron spirit since our transformation. I saw the aura of that spirit around you the first moment you arrived at the banquet, and even though you gave every indication of crushing our hopes then, I still held out for our chances because I could see his touch upon you as if it were your own skin. . . .”

FAQ

[details=“Did you used to be “The Wolf Cult” on WrA?”]
We were indeed! We began on Emerald Dream, once part of a worgen guild there in 2015. As we learned more about lore, we wished to roleplay canon worgen, not the stereotypical cursed human. Aspiring for something more, myself and five others founded “The Whitefang Pack” on October 30th 2016, and moved to greener pastures to Wyrmrest Accord that winter. Once a simple pack under the command of the Cenarion Circle, the pack has endured many hardships and adventures on its way to joining the cult in Duskwood a year later, and taking the name The Wolf Cult in 2019. When the need to transfer arrived, we found the name was already taken on Moonguard, and have taken a similar name, used in the Wolf Cult’s Hearthstone card: Cult of the Wolf.

Do you accept alts?

Alts are accepted! In addition to our member ranks, we have “(Cultist Alt)” and “(Council Alt)” for member and officer alts respectively. Once a member has joined, and reaches Initiate rank, they may have as many alts in the guild as they wish. While the main toon must be a worgen, alts may be any race and class.

What level do I have to be to join?

Level one! Our joining ranks are Interested Player, Applicant, and Aspirant. These have no level requirement, and will give access to the guild calendar, events, roster, and discord server.

“And you shall know, Halford Ramsey. All will be revealed to you. The truth of the worgen. What they are and where their journeys have taken them. Truth, I say. Not myth or superstition. Only in the wake of these revelations will I ask you to form your own judgements.”
