Yīngsù Village lies hidden in the mountains of Pandaria, South of Kun Lai, West of the Jade Forest, and North of the Valley of the Four Winds. It is a rocky, windswept and remote place, where few crops grow and the nights are cold.
Like rubbish blown in the wind, drifters, thieves and renegades have made their way to the Village over the centuries, and calling it their home. To survive, they offer their services, ever discreetly, to the towns and cities below, trading knife-work and smuggling for rice and solitude.
Whether by birth or adoption, the inhabitants of this secret place are members of a family. A family with customs, which must be obeyed, for the safety of the town and its people. For life in Yīngsù Village is frail and fleeting, but made stronger by bonds of blood and deed.
Yīngsù Village is a year and a half old now, and we’ve grown and thrived since the start of BFA! We’re a roleplay guild on Hordeside Wryrmest Accord, devoted interpersonal story, based on themes of interdependence, honor, crime and ethics. We are inspired loosely by legends of Ninja and Brigand villages in Japan and throughout Asia, who were said to have eked out a living in remote, barren places, and survived by the sword and subterfuge when they could not grow enough food or command enough respect.
We welcome mature, even-keeled roleplayers who have a strong distinction between In-Character and Out-Of-Character, who are willing to engage in stories that explore the hearts and minds of criminals, good and bad. Our goal is to present players with challenging, morally difficult situations, and to reward them with an impactful, emotional payoff. With a strong “Play to Lose” mentality, we recognize that the best tales often have sad endings, but are more memorable for it, and that power comes at a great cost.
We have a low-key, friendly OOC culture and have a robust sense of humor. We run weekly tavern nights, weekly “crime nights” (official RP events), and both players and staff are allowed to run their own events, so long as they loosely adhere to the guild’s theme.
