[RP] Rooks Pursuit - Roleplay Initiative, Gauge of Interest

You find a message printed on fine paper, a wax seal of a raven stamped upon the bottom:

Greetings all,

My name is Barrtram Byrne. I am reaching out to you for aid, in the form of manpower and or funding. My mercantile company, Rooks Pursuit, is stretched thin in our endeavors and require assistance across Azeroth.
We deal with the trade and procurement of hidden or stolen powerful artifacts. Currently, we have more opportunities for work than we can handle with our own crew…

You will be compensated fairly for your efforts, in time.

For further inquiry, we are currently stationed out of the Raven’s Flock Tavern in Kul Tiras.

Thank you for your consideration,

-Barrtram.

Rooks Pursuit

What it is:

Rooks Pursuit is a front for Barrtram Byrnes real efforts. They act as a mercantile company, seafarers, but are actually set with a mission.

To find and destroy or lock away powerful magical objects across Azeroth, that could cause great harm if they fall in to the wrong hands.

The mercantile company allows them to gather funding, and a reason for docking in various ports across Azeroth, without letting their true intentions be known.

My Intentions:

To use this to create prompts to get others out in the world and exploring, to create Roleplay opportunities.

This will not be a guild, but an in game community and discord where Jobs will be offered out by Barrtram and the Rooks Pursuit crew for people to take and finish on their own, then report back.

I would also like to host regular events across Azeroth, where we have larger meetings/discussions or take on bigger challenges.

This is not going to be a guild, and hopefully would bring guilds together and create RP opportunities between them. Some of examples of tasks I have created with this in the past, tied to different characters:

Barrtram - Human Rogue: His tasks involve Indiana Jones type fetch quests, where you may have to go into an ancient ruin or the like to procure a magical object. That may be protected by spirits or other nefarious forces also trying to obtain it.

Lestraud - Dwarven Monster Hunter: These tasks involve finding and killing magical monsters that are threatening locals. Think the Witcher. They also may have gotten their abilities from a powerful source you must discover and obtain/destroy.

Lluagor - Goblin Crew Leader: These tasks are more… criminal. These are heists, that require you to steal objects from well guarded places. Taking them from people that have been deemed too corrupt to keep them.

I would need help though! I am running my own guild, (im Lluagor of Quickfuse) so im interested in talking to others and bringing them in to work/build this idea, if interest is there we could go full bore with it! And hopefully create A LOT of RP opportunities for our server.

Leave a question/thoughts below,

or hit me up on Discord, username Lluagor.

I will grudgingly risk inflating your goblin ego by saying I think this is a fun idea.

Destroy? Oh, no no.

But thank you for the intel. The eyes are watching.

Did we just become enemies?

Perhaps an enterprising individual would like to purchase any black diamonds you happen to acquire in the search for more powerful artifacts…

Do NOT sell to him.

I already like where all of this is leading.

Ahhh. Llu! Yesss! I still remember your writing prompts from the old Emerald Dream forum days. Very fun.

This, sir, is a grand idea you have proposed. I have a new character who will definitely take much enjoyment in melting the psyche of any who try to keep these artifacts for themself.

Cheers!

Now that I got the forums to accept my main character… 100% love this idea and Redwood is in! In fact, you’ll probably do some business with a few redwoods with an event like this! We love this stuff and will try to help out with some of our own capers, as well :slight_smile:

First WRITING Prompt is up here on the forums.


We now also have a Discord where more Writing and RP prompts like this one will be posted for players to use. Still very much under construction! Looking for community HELP and Feedback.

We also have created an In Game Community with the intention of making RP easier to find and gather in game. Cross-Faction!
