Snowholdt Company <Dwarven & Gnome RP>

The cold winds blew down from the snowy mountains of Khaz Modan as a former Mountaineer and his companion, a large grizzly bear, looked across the lands. Behind them, a gathering of Dwarves and a small scattering of Gnomes stood with him. Here Snowholdt Company stood ready to go forth and make a difference for their fellow kin in more ways than one. It was a new day for those of the Three Clans, nay, for all Dwarves…

In Character
A former Clan once known for their blacksmiths and open arms to all within Khaz Modan, the Snowholdt Clan like so many others that fell into obscurity after the War of the Three Hammers. But now with the belief that the ruling Council of the Three Hammers and Dwarven Senate focus their attention on bickering or Alliance affairs, the name Snowholdt has come into prominence once more as the Snowholdt Company under the leadership of Thane Thurin Snowholdt. Now they have come together in the spirit of traditional Dwarven beliefs while focused on protecting their kin from threats natural and external across the lands of all Three Clans. Those in the Company also have chosen in their paths to serve in other ways, some chose to explore either by safeguarding Dwarven relics or retrieving them from thieving hands, providing medical services through first aid or the Light, and of course producing the finest-crafted items and brewed goods that can be found at markets.

We say let our leaders bicker and allow us to do what we do best. We will be the inspiring forge and protective hammer that is needed And as of days old with open arms we welcome all of our fellow Dwarves and even Gnomes who hold interest in Dwarven affairs.

Who We Are
Snowholdt Company is an 18+, heavy roleplaying guild focused on offering our members a unique storytelling environment centered on Dwarven RP with elements of adventure, combat, and more. This will include weekly events, open-world stories, and participating and hosting community events as well. Snowholdt Company encourages our members to choose from a variety of roles/walks of life as they progress through their journey with us, writing their own story and experiencing not only the exciting parts of RP such as combat or adventure but the everyday slice of life as well. We are here to tell the story of each character and to help you grow within the world we are simply building for each of you.

Who are we recruiting?
First and most importantly all members must be 18 years of age and older. We have a non-discrimination policy and welcome LGBTQ+ community members as well. In terms of RP, it is our policy to accept Dwarves and Gnomes only within our guild at this time. Due to the nature of wanting to interact with the Alliance and even Horde as a whole with our RP, we do offer a role of Ally within our Discord community for those wishing to work with us on story campaigns when the opportunity arises or who want to come and interact at our community events.

What kind of creativity will we offer?
Creativity which drives personal character development and world-building is one of the fundamentals upon which the clan is formed. While the leadership team will always be working on putting together story arcs for all to participate in through various means and methods we also highly encourage our members to come to us with their own story ideas that can be utilized. In fact, as part of our promotion path, we actively encourage for higher ranks that our members become DM’s in the guild and we are more than happy to teach those who would love to learn how to DM as well.

When it comes to actual events it will be up to the discretion of each DM as to whether or not they wish to use our unique D20 system inspired by Conquest Simplified or just allow players to do emote reactions/interactions throughout the event. And every action will have a reaction or consequence as well. Whether it bodes positive or negative for the individual, group, or Company as a whole will not be known until it occurs. But this also means that opportunity can await around every corner or new interaction as well.

How does one go about joining Snowholdt Company?
To join we ask potential members to head over to our Discord and speak with a member of our leadership council to get started. Once in contact with us, we’ll want to go over your short character backstory and set up a quick roleplay session to make sure you’re a good fit for us and we’re a good fit for you. If you have any questions before seeking to join us please feel free to reach out as well.

As someone else helping lead a race and culture themed guild, I understand the desire to roleplay in good company and spread the good word about the awesome culture you’re showing off to the server. Nova Goria bumps this post!

Thank you so much! It’s always a labor of love to put together communities like ours. Thank you for the bump and best of luck to your endeavor as well!

I don’t play anymore, but I just have to wonder…What if a player doesn’t have or want Discord? Would they still be welcome to apply in-game?

Oh look, Dwarves! Best of luck to you!

Discord is our primary means of communication between members and takes place of having to utilize a website as many might have in days past. Our members have the advantage of being able to socialize as a community while also talking about events, doing additional RP if they want outside of the game, and more. So it is a must for all of our members at this time.

We will always welcome members of the community from either server to any public event that we host, for sure! And as Juspeon pointed out the Meal Hall is a great community for all Dwarves whether you are on MG or WrA. I myself keep active there and love the social events that are hosted by wonderful members of its community.

Do the dwarves get drunk? Do they get the gnomes drunk? Do the drunk dwarves convince the drunk gnomes to put on spiked helmets and use gnomish gadgets to launch themselves into the air in a drunken Azerothan version of lawn darts?

More importantly, do the dwarves use the gnomes to carry their rocks and stones?

A better question would be why wouldn’t a Dwarf want to drink? And unlike the tall folk we can hold our liquor just fine thank you. We’ll down plenty of kegs while you all are feeling tipsy after a few pints.

As for what we do with Gnomes that’s between us, them, and Moot games. >.>

Snowholdt Company is pleased to announce that this month we will be attending the famed Gilded Market. You will be able to find us at booth 13 where we will be offering Dwarven brews and handcrafted Dwarven goods.

We would also like to welcome our first member to the guild Borstig. We’re sure this former sailor and scoundrel who is ready to put his boots on the ground once more will make a fine addition to the Company!
