Stromgarde, the once great kingdom rises again under the heel of the Alliance. The traitor king Danath dogs at the heels of another, allowing his people to be dictated by the needs of Stormwind. We have broken the rule of Lich King and Sylvanas to watch our brethren in Stromgarde suffer the same fate.
This armistice does not allow us to go home; we cannot step through the gates as citizens of our home. We bled for Stromgarde, died for Stromgarde. We fought for the Banshee Queen to take our home back and we failed. Our fight is not over, the people of Stromgarde do not so easily surrender.
The Defilers of Arathor have not been idle in these years. We have protected the Forsaken and the lands of Lordaeron. Keeping them united through our struggles and we will continue to do so.
The Function of the Defilers
PvP
Defilers of Arathor has participated in World PvP in the many years we have been around. We continue to participate as a solid unit structure. This means we fight together constantly, to create a better unit. This includes RBGS, which we look forward to pushing during the expansion.
PvE
Defilers of Arathor has begun to sink its teeth into more mythic dungeons and raiding as of late. We believe it is important to have something outside of WPvP and RP to fall back on.
RP
Defilers of Arathor has a heavy focus on Undead RP and the Northern Eastern Kingdoms. We are a militaristic Forsaken guild, though we often extend beyond the military aspect. It provides a solid structure and building point for our RP.
Organizations
Royal Apothecaries (R.A.S)
Masters of potions and alchemical concoctions, the mysterious and often sardonic apothecaries revel in their creations. From the masterpieces of flesh and bone that are the abominations, to the skin melting plague, neither life nor death is beyond the grasp of the resourceful and inventive, Apothecaries.
Deathstalkers
Stalking streets and shadows, the deadly assassins of the Deathstalkers aim only to complete their mission. The masters of steath look to gain an advantage for the Defilers of Arathor, taking up the task of breaking into camps and cities to place deadly plague from the Apothecaries or taking out targets before a battle begins.
Dreathguard
Though relatively physically weak in comparison to their living counterparts, the Forsaken are a Strong unified force. It is in this unification that the Defilers of Arathor draw their strength. In lockstep and unified shield walls the Defilers drive themselves into their foe or let them break upon their shield walls. Through extraordinary discipline, the Undead of Arathor are able to hold the line against unfavorable odds.
The Defilers prefered tactic of fighting is to feign retreat, spreading their enemy thin. Arrows and bullets fly from behind a slowly retreating shield wall. As the enemy pushes forward their perceived advantage, heavily armored Dreadknights crash in to their flanks dividing their increasingly dispersed forces.
Cult of Forgotten Shadows
The Cult is a powerful order within the Defilers. In times past, they have been known to hold more power than the High Executor within the Defilers. They live by the principles laid down by the cult worshiping the power of the shadow.
Scarlet Retributors
Once members of the Scarlet Crusade and now stark reminders of their lost honor. The Scarlet Retributors have become obsessed with revenge over the Dreadlords that deceived and corrupted their order. In the process, they seek to restore the honor they lost in life. Seeing their undeath as a penance that must be paid.
