[H-RP] <The Silvermoon Council> Quel’Thalas Community and Government RP

Moon Guard
1

The Silvermoon Council is a Horde-aligned Blood Elf and Nightborne RP guild on Moon Guard - US.

Guild Concept

The Silvermoon Council is a guild that takes inspiration from the Convocation of Silvermoon—the ruling power of Quel’Thalas until the Scourge marched upon the Sunwell. Following the Scourge’s invasion of Quel’Thalas the Convocation was destroyed. The Silvermoon Council picks up where the Convocation left off.

Along with other major political factions (i.e., the Magisters, the Blood Knights, and the Farstriders), Lor’themar rules as the Regent Lord of Quel’Thalas following the Scourge’s invasion. The Silvermoon Council answers directly to these major factions and the Regent Lord in order to help with Quel’Thelas’ restoration and advancement. As the Council, we propose laws and regulations that may help with this goal, handle domestic issues, and take initiative with foreign affairs. The Silvermoon Council doesn’t only work as a law making body; instead, cultural preservation, education, and community are central to the Council and its work.

Community

The Silvermoon Council is establishing this guild to build a Blood Elf and Nightborne community on Moon Guard. The community the Silvermoon Council hopes to establish isn’t just comprised of Lords and Ladies; instead, we hope to see everyone from Lords and Ladies to apprentice magisters, astromancers, shopkeepers, military captains, party-goers, etc. Still, we do see four primarily subcommunities within The Silvermoon Council’s greater community: Magisters, Blood Knights, Farstriders, and Nightborne elves who have made Quel’Thalas their home. We also see many Thalassian and Shalassian Role-Players having roles outside of these subcommunities.

RP Opportunities

The Silvermoon Council plans to hold a variety of RP events, including government, training, and combat RP.

The Court of the Sun

The Court of the Sun acts as the primary political body of Quel’Thalas, hearing the concerns of its citizens and allowing for the creation and upkeep of laws. The Convocation meets at the Court of the Sun to hear these concerns, address them, and maintain a strong society within Quel’Thalas. This Court operates under the auspices of Regent Lord Lor’themar Theron, Lady Liadrin, Archmage Rommath, and Halduron Brightwing.

The Court of the Sun is held once a month, giving the officers and members of the Silvermoon Council opportunities to express their ideas. The monthly meeting of the Court of the Sun is the backbone of the community the Silvermoon Council aims to create, and it is the primary way in which laws are passed in the interest of this community.

The Silvermoon Council Presents: Bathed in Shadow

We have been hard at work crafting our guilds opening story arc, and we hope you enjoy this short preview of events to come.

The Sin’dorei have been hard at work rebuilding Quel’thalas since the invasion of the Scourge. While much progress is being made, the Kingdom is still in disrepair. In an effort to help complete the reconstruction of Silvermoon and Quel’Thalas, the Silvermoon Council decides to go on their yearly tour of Silvermoon and Quel’Thalas ahead of schedule. In preparation for this tour, they have carefully planned out a route where the most work still needs to be done. As they traverse the Kingdom, they hope to better understand the needs of their community.

While creating this route, they heard news of strange happenings across Quel’Thalas. Items disappearing from where they were left, pets going missing, hawkstriders panicking in the middle of the night… Could this all be the work of a magical prankster or is there something more sinister afoot?

About Us:

Given that we are a new community, I also wanted to give a bit of background on our leadership. The Silvermoon Council’s moderation team is comprised of active members of the Horde-Moonguard community. Collectively, we have nearly seven decades of experience playing World of Warcraft and over four decades of experience role-playing in World of Warcraft. As a team, our goal is to bring high-quality Elven RP to the H-MG community.

I wish you all the luck in the world with this! Roleplaying a blood elf is very fun and I think being inclusive of both blood elves and nightborne is the right move but also allowing it to be so wide-spread on who can find a place there is also a great idea. I think you’re going to make a lot of people very happy.

Your wayward High Elven kin wish you the very best! Maybe we can do some role-play sometime!

What? Horde RP on MG isn’t dead? Well that can’t be true! A bunch of randoms here on these forums and on hate blogs keep insisting that it’s dead! Surely they wouldn’t lie!

Originally being from Emerald Dream, I’ve never really understood this sentiment (and don’t worry, I know you are /s). Having been active on Moon Guard for 2+ years now with my other character (Calletha), I’ve never struggled to find something to do with RP on this server as a Horde player. Sure walk-up RP can be a little hit or miss, but the guild and group rp? I haven’t found anything better than what Horde-MG offers. I’m happy to be a part of this community, and I hope my efforts with this guild can make it even better. <3

A letter arrives through the official channels as suitable to the Silvermoon mailing system.

"Salutations,

My name is Klezzek and I am reaching out as a representative of the Flashbang Exports company. I wish to request a meeting with your ruling body as soon as it is convenient to discuss the possibility of a trade agreement between your judicial body and our company. My hope is that there is some hole or niche that we can fill and forge a bond, if not of friendship, than at least of mutual business partners.

Signed,
Klezzek
Clerical Aid - Flashbang Exports."

OOC

Hello! I’m looking to build Flashbang’s relationships with other guilds in the hopes of fostering more roleplay for us (and by a more selfish extension, myself). I’ve always been interested in inter-guild dynamics and how the different goals of guilds mix and clash. I hope I’m not being too forward with an IC letter. My hope is to build a friendship predominantly in character.

I am curious. What are the Council’s views on their breatheren across the way in Alliance territory, whether in Quel’dorei, Ren’Dorei, or Darkfallen? Those who may be neutral and not aligned to one faction or another are only concerned with the interests of all Thalassians.

Hello! I can give you some specific answers for each of these on an IC basis. It’s important to note that we are Pro-Horde guild, and our primary concern is Horde RP.

  1. Darkfallen: If they are Forsaken and/or Horde aligned, we have no problem with them being in Quel’Thalas. OOCly, we don’t accept them into the Council because of MG-H’s ecosystem.
  2. Quel’Dorei: We take the same approach as lore: those who claim to be Quel’Dorei are remnants of remnants. OOCly, while we respect Quel’Dorei RP, it isn’t something we personally want to engage with right now.
  3. Ren’Dorei: ICly, the council finds their state of being regrettable and most of us believe they pose an existential threat to Quel’Thalas (especially after the Sunwell).

Because a lot of our IC interactions are lore driven and we try to be as lore-friendly as possible, all of these stances are subject to change based upon Blizzard’s development of the lore.

Hmm, you know, I find the current situation of Quel’Thalas interesting. Though the percentage may be small, the population of Quel’Thalas has shifted in recent years.

It’s no longer just 90% Blood Elves and 10% High Elves. The population of Quel’Thalas is shrinking as Lor’themar loses citizens to the Alliance. Many Elves have defected. First the Void Elves, then even Blood Elves, like the disenfranchised citizens of Silvermoon who are tired of swallowing Magister propaganda.

Maybe Silvermoon has only 85% of the Thalassian population now and the Alliance has 15%. Or maybe it’s even more. Elves that would be fighting for Lor’themar right now if his first and only answer to dissension to his will wasn’t to exile everyone in sight. It’s an interesting situation, don’t you think?

Great guild, by the way! Keep it up!

Brings up a great question: what will happen to the Elves that were in Dalaran that survived? I mean one would assume the Silver Covenant would just merge in with the Alliance and the Sunreavers would merge into Silvermoon again.

What’s the plan for ya’ll?

The eco-system of Moonguard Horde side? Care to explain exactly what that means? I’m a little lost here.

To Highvalor: thank you for the praise. As Elven RPers, I think we are in for an interesting time as Midnight approaches. Only Blizzard knows where we all end up after this.

To Spenser: Insofar as guild business is concerned, anybody that identifies as a Sin’Dorei or Shal’Dorei is welcome to apply to be a member of the Silvermoon Council. That includes Sunreavers.

To Cosmiclock: The Horde side of MG is a much smaller community than the Alliance side. While I would describe H-MG as vibrant and active, a lot of RP is guild/community based. By accepting Darkfallen, we would also be depriving other great guilds of potentially high-quality undead RPers. That isn’t something we want to do as members of the H-MG community. We are here to help our community thrive.
