Hello everyone!
I have only ever been the leader of a guild once in my life and that was many years ago back in Cataclysm, so I do not have the best experience, so I thought that I would do a little interest check. So, I’ve been working on a mage and writing and I thought that it would be great to have a community of exclusively sorceresses from all walks of life, races and factions. The guild has many purposes, so let me list them for you.
- Training the Next Generation
The guild has many purposes, but one is to help young women hone their magical abilities and transform their natural talents into controlled skills. Some instructors may be kind and forgiving and patient, while others may be ruthless and demanding.
- Advisors
Because of the state of the world and countless factions and settlements, mages are often utilized for their strategical thinking and magical prowess. It’s common for a court or order to have an advisor, be it a baron or king. These sorceresses would work with these courts, orders and noble houses separately from the guild but meetings would be held on occasion to discuss their respective leaders’ statuses.
- Navigators and Battle-Mages
These sorceresses are known for their combative nature and warfront experience and or desire to gain some. While battle-mages travel with armies, navigators or telomers provide transportation with portals and see to it that hiring parties or allies travel safely.
- Emissaries and Couriers
It isn’t uncommon for kingdoms and settlements to come to disagreements with another. Diplomacy is important. While there are factions, these mages are a neutral collective and put the state of Azeroth before any home faction’s needs, such as the Kirin Tor. The duty to hold the peace or provide common ground for discussion is necessary to prevent devastating conflict.
- Historians and Suppliers
History must be recorded through written notes and scrolls, so that the past may not be repeated and stories do not become unruly rumors. Important spells and war results are also seriously in need of documentation. When it comes to supplies, scrolls, alchemical ingredients and potions and more are a much needed item in the world. The guild can offer this.
And more!
The guild does not care about faction or race. This is a neutral academy to learn and grow and share knowledge as mages. The guild is exclusive to women and I think it would be incredibly fun if another academy for men were created, not so we could be rivals, but two institutions that could teach separately and come together for meetings, celebration and learning. A base of operations hasn’t been decided yet and the guild has no final name yet. Everything is a massive work in progress, so any feedback or ideas or even interest would be appreciated. The base faction for this guild is Alliance. Also! I think it would be ideal to perhaps open the doors for warlocks and priests, too, since they are also spellcasters, just different schools of magic.
If anyone is interested, let me know. This isn’t something that will be started tomorrow by any means. I am not rushing anything. There is much to do!
