(Obsolete) Oceanic RP Hub: (Unbound Order - H, and Hexrenders - A)

Background

If you’re a WoW Roleplayer from outside of the USA, you probably know it can be a huge pain to connect with other RPers. Most guilds and server events operate at peak hour, which, because timezones suck, is often right in the middle of the day for those of us on the wrong end of the Pacific Ocean!

This line of thinking led to myself and a couple of other Aussies and American night owls deciding to found a guild a couple of years back that was focused on late-night roleplay, at an optimal time for those of us in the oceania region who want to RP! Initially, this guild was a small, niche Forsaken guild called Lordaeron Unbound. Over time however, as our guild plots evolved and grew (and our characters along with them) through some fascinating arcs, we started to itch for broader themes of RP. What about our non-Forsaken Horde characters? What about our Alliance alts? This gradually expanded into two separate guilds, both with a somewhat broader focus than any one race - the Unbound Order and the Hexrenders.

So this is a recruitment thread for our merry band of late nighters! We offer both RP and Content, but our events and activities typically start at 1:30am or later! So we’re definitely focused on the oceanic region, or those who really don’t like sleep! :rofl: With that all aside, on with the thread! I will be outlining our two guilds in brief, as well as our gamer time.

The Unbound Order (Horde RP)

Posted on bulletin boards in major Horde cities and towns, you might stumble across the following notice:

The Unbound Order needs you!

In the wake of the Fourth War, the mighty Horde has been laid low. In particular, due to the treachery of our Warchief, our position on the Eastern Kingdoms is weaker than it has ever been. The Alliance converge once again on Lordaeron, and Quel’thalas stands alone, exposed and vulnerable.

But these lands gave birth to the Horde! It was in the Eastern Kingdoms that the orcs broke free of their bondage at Alliance hands. It was in the Eastern Kingdoms that the Forsaken broke free from the Scourge, and took fate into their own hands. Against all odds, even betrayed by their own leader, Quel’thalas stood strong in the face of apocalypse, and rose from the ashes like a phoenix. While the Alliance has claim to some areas within the Eastern Kingdoms, they do not have claim to it all! The Horde peoples of the Eastern Kingdoms have a right to stand strong, free, and unbound!

If you are of sound body and mind, and wish to stand with the Horde as we promote our interests in the Eastern Kingdoms, seek out the Unbound Order today!

This message has been distributed by the authority of
Evelandria Dawningsong
Overseer of the Unbound Order

OOC:

The primary objective of the Unbound Order is to safeguard Horde interests in the Eastern Kingdoms and the nearby islands (such as the Broken Isles). For the benefit not just of Lordaeron and Quel’thalas, but all Horde peoples in the area. The Horde has lost considerable influence in the region following the Fourth War, and so the Order’s goal is to promote and strengthen Horde interests in the region, ideally whilst continuing to uphold the Armistice. To achieve their goal, the Order needs specialists from a range of different backgrounds and experiences, who all contribute to the greater good of the Horde in the East. Sometimes their operations might involve the military, but other times they might involve research and exploration, or even diplomacy!

We do enjoy faction politics and so those definitely come into play, but more in a Cold War sense than outright confrontation! Because the Eastern Kingdoms is home not just to Blood Elves and Forsaken, but trolls, orcs, and even a handful of goblins, all races and classes are welcome to join!

If you are interested in joining the Unbound Order, reach out to Evelandria, GM of the Unbound Order, in game or in discord!

The Hexrenders (Alliance RP)

Posted on bulletin boards in major Alliance cities and towns, you might stumble across the following notice: (Bad MS paint graphic that I can’t link conventionally: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/884406013657219112/884406562368655380/alliance_letter.png )

A Call to Arms!
The Hexrenders Need You!

Despite the end of the Fourth War, and the defeat of the vile N’zoth, Azeroth continues to be plagued by those who use magic for evil purposes! Remnants of evil organisations opposed to the life and livelihood of everyday citizens of the Alliance, such as the Twilight’s Hammer and the Cult of the Damned, continue to plague us!

For this reason, SI:7 is recruiting specialists to join the Hexrenders; a taskforce with the intent of stopping these insidious organisations, and others like them, from threatening the Alliance and its people!

If you wish to join the Alliance in this worthy endeavour, speak to Director Fal’therin Duskreach at the Hexrenders Headquarters, in Boralus.

The letter concludes with an Alliance seal.

OOC:

The primary objective of the Hexrenders is to deal with the world’s more insidious magic users! Such people, left unchecked, have wrought havoc across Azeroth, as seen with the rise of the Scourge in Lordaeron, the advent of the Twilight’s Hammer across the Alliance and Horde, and the corruption of Drustvar.

With that in mind, the Hexrenders are a small SI:7 strikeforce whose sole objective is to hunt down and eliminate those who use darker powers for evil ends. Sometimes its members need to understand the power at play, and so we accept all races and classes into the guild!

And yes Bates, we intend to RP in Duskwood sometime :stuck_out_tongue:

If you are interested in joining the Hexrenders, reach out to Faltherin (actually my main ally toon), GM of the Hexrenders, in game or in discord!

Gamer Time

The third member of our officer triad is Grommashed, the 6th best Arms Warrior on all of Wyrmrest Accord according to Raider. io :open_mouth: He leads our content arm, where we basically just… do content! We’ve been coming out of something of a hiatus lately, so this section will be updated as it gets more formal, but we hit Mythic Keystones fairly regularly, as well as more casual content like LFR, Random Battlegrounds, Torghast, and even community world quests (we call them “worldies” :P)

Our intent is to keep pushing keystones bit by bit over time, but if our numbers grow we might even get into normal and heroic raiding! The world is our oyster!

For now our content-doing has mainly been on Hordeside, but with time and interest, Alliance might spring up a bit more too!

This section will be updated as more information comes to light. For the time being, come hang out in our discord and do content with us if you want!

Yep! For those who don’t know, Otielle was integral to the founding of the guild that led to all of this. One of the two people who pestered me to make Lordaeron Unbound a thing when I was kinda reluctant, in fact! :stuck_out_tongue: I’m very glad that she did! :smiley:

But yeah these are the same guilds, new forum post to make it a bit more condensed! Essentially we’re ready to start recruiting and building stories again… except we want to treat the discord as a bit of a hub for those looking for oceanic RP! Who knows we might even get more guilds happening in time, if folks come with a concept! You’re more than welcome to come hang out Otielle!

LOL I felt the same for several years! It can be tough being on the wrong end of the pacific :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes. …Yessssss. yeeeEEESSSS. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Happy to help! :smiley: (I’m Sarestha btw, just on Alliance toon. Since this toon is an IC GM I decided I’d start posting on them).

Anyway guys guess what?

Unbound Order will be hanging out in their new base of operations… in Lordaeron! Starting from 2am server! (About 45 mins from now!) We’re currently based at Dandred’s fold, on the eastern shore of Lordamere Lake! Look for the big human-style house with a red roof!

Anyone’s welcome to come and hang out if they’d like to join the guild :smiley:
