“War; the art of grand bloodletting, in numbers of cities it travels, in villages and towns it conquers. It is the difference between the boy who wails behind his mother’s arms, and the boy who strums upon a silver drum into the waking war; in the eyes of death both become his son. It is in the blindness of vengeance, that the idle see afar. It is in the tedious climb for recognition that the whispering voice bellows thrice in volume, that than he who preaches daily. It is in this battle for pride, faith and resource that you’ve enabled those beneath bloodied surface of grief to rise. We do not rise as one, but as the shadows which trail from the silhouette of the fallen. It is us who have forsaken your law, your expectations, and above all else, your hatreds. It is us that shall watch ire become your falling, and within your defeat we will build a new.”
-Olivia Daaé
The Fifth Pledge is a tight-knit guild which indulges deeply into the fantasy of the canon universe through the eyes of highly skilled and intriquiently masterminded individuals of the underground. The Fifth Pledge believes in the balance of kinship and professionalism in a working environment, seldom overlapping the two. A seemingly diverse melting pot of criminality, even the oddest of members seem contribute a piece to a grand, complex and rarely seen puzzle. The binding reagent of said ‘puzzle’ is not the expected slippery strain of paste, but rather an oath to uphold a series of pledges, all which enforce aspects of true kinship. To achieve the last pledge, the fifth pledge, is to earn what is known as the ultimate understanding of ‘freedom’, to become the equivalent of outlaw’s elite, to face trials and conquer where many before you have failed. It is the dance of loyalty and business which keeps The Fifth Pledge a hidden powerhouse of potential and influence, offer safety to their allies and death to their opposition.
Out-Of-Characterly, we strongly believe a guild environment should be a community maintained with creative-freedom, passion and consideration for members and those whom interact with us. Despite the relatively high standard for the quality in roleplay in which we strive, do not tolerate elitism, or the belittlement of other players/orders. We believe communication is the ultimate key in successful interaction and storyline development! Due to our categorization of RP/PvP (Heavy prioritize on RP), we enforce friendly policies all around, in hopes of keeping ourselves and those we interact with happy and stress-free! Should you choose not to join us, but still want to interact, we always consider storylines and typically don’t shy away from too many. Roleplaying isn’t about -our- benefit, or -yours-, but the -combined- benefit, and that’s what makes a healthy community!
OUR VISION
“The Fifth Pledge is offering employment, housing and kinship to individuals of unique talent and circumstance. If you are searching for a once in a lifetime opportunity and possess qualities such as: combat ability, intelligence and loyalty, we may have an opening for you. To inquire more please send a letter to Vault#894, Kun-Lai Summit, via postmaster.” -(IC) Recruitment Flyer.
What separates -us- from the others? Simple; -vision- . What cares we have for petty people who commit petty crimes? No, no… We’re looking for not a painter, but an artist! Our passion for our acts are fueled by a vision, nothing of unrealistic power, or the death of all foes, but rather something almost sentimental, yet extremely powerful in its own light.
Our vision began as little more than an ideal; a desire of lifestyle, comfort and on rare occasion luxury. We fought our own revolution of ‘lawful’ demons and their light-plated minions, fighting for a freedom that can never be won, but an enslavement which can be spared. That idea has not changed, but greatly adapted into something of grander; an empire… an empire.
