 WoW Headhunter
« Result #1 on Apr 6, 2009, 12:07pm »

As a recruiting tool, I have opted to sign up on WoW Headhunter. I would appreciate it if everyone would go to http://www.wowheadhunter.com and sign up. Their gamer profile is very cool and once you register with our guild, it will give others an idea of what our guild is like. Right now I'm the only member.

Let me know if you have questions!

« Result #2 on Mar 15, 2009, 7:19pm »

During our Guild Meeting at the beginning of the month we decided to run guild RP events on the 3rd Sunday of every month and on any month with a fifth Sunday.

Due to scheduling conflicts, the dungeon run for tonight has been postponed and we will instead be running it next Sunday (3/22) at 7pm Server Time and then running another dungeon on Sunday, 3/28.

 Kidnapping - IC and OOC
« Result #4 on Feb 13, 2009, 1:59am »

Tribe! One of our members, Thirenis, has been kidnapped by agents of Silvermoon. Keep a watchful eye out in Silvermoon and if you see him, notify me or one of the Lawgivers immediately.

((If you see Thirenis login, he will be silent in guild chat because his character has been kidnapped. We will be having an event either in late February or early March to rescue him. Watch the site for more info!))

 Merry Christmas/Winter Veil!
« Result #5 on Dec 16, 2008, 3:55pm »

The Details
Who: The Tribe!
What: Winterveil party and initiations.
When: Sunday, 12/21 at 8pm Server Time
Where: Thunder Bluff by Cairne
Why: Do we really need an answer to this one?
How: A sled with eight tiny reindeer.

We will meet in the "theater" outside Cairne by the tree. If you have the cooking skill, please bring firewood so we can get some fires going.

I had wanted to meet in Winterspring but we have enough low-level folks that wouldn't be able to make it, it seems like the tauren capital city was a better idea.

Please wear a festive holiday costume. Even if it's a tux or fancy dress. If anyone needs something made, please let me know and I will ask Solstace to make some items.

Help
I'd like someone to volunteer to help me host the party. I need someone to help pass out treats, help with the gift exchange, etc.

Treats
Jox will be bringing some treats for the party, but more are welcome.

Gift Exchange
I've love to see everyone participate! Please spend as much as you'd like on gifts, but please no gray or white items unless they have an RP function. We don't want anyone getting the "booby prize".

Please also remember that the Smokeywood Pasture gang has special gift wrap for the season to keep your gift a secret. :D

The gift-exchange will be white elephant style in that we will be drawing numbers for the number of participants. For those of you wishing to participate multiple times, we'll hold multiple rounds.

It is NOT white elephant style in that the gifts are not intended to be crappy. Funny, yes. Usable, absolutely. But no old water picks or mis-matched socks. ;)

 Promotions
« Result #6 on Mar 12, 2008, 1:21pm »

Promotions will largely be based on participation, activity, and dedication to the guild.

1) New recruits will be Pathwalkers until they decide this is the guild they want to stay in following a two week trial period and a successful application.

2) Following acceptance of an application the new recruit must attend a guild meeting and be initiated. The Pathwalker will receive a guild tabard then be promoted to Tribesman.

3) Tribesman can be promoted to Guardian (name change pending) based on active participation, referrals to the guild for recruitment, and requires level 30.

4) Promotion from Guardian to Lawgiver is completely based on participation, leadership skills, total time with the guild and recommendations from other Lawgivers.

Final decisions, as with all things in the guild, rest on the Chieftain.

 Adding Alts
« Result #7 on Feb 18, 2008, 3:12pm »

We want you to love this guild so much that all of your characters are a part of the tribe. However, we also need to ensure that all of your characters will see play time.

For this reason we will treat alts much like other characters. The policy will be as follows:

1) Your primary character in the guild must be at least level 20 before we consider adding your first alt. Your primary must be at 30 and your secondary at 20 before we consider your second alt (third character) and so on.

2) ALL your characters must see some play time. The same standard will apply to all characters - if you're gone for longer than 21 days, don't be surprised if you get booted. It's nothing personal, feel free to approach an officer or Jox to get reinstated.

3) You must fill out an application for your alt. Since we know your primary, you do not need to fill out Section 2 of the applications, please just fill out sections 1 and 3 and email it to Jox (email address provided in the application).

Please notify Jox if there are any questions or if you need any clarification.

 Rules of the Tribe (Updated 3/2)
« Result #8 on Feb 6, 2008, 1:37am »

Guild Rules
Need to Know Rules of Pride of the Ancestors


Thank you for your interest in Pride of the Ancestors! Please read these rules over carefully before you consider applying to join our tribe. By submitting an application you acknowledge that you have read and agree to all of these rules...and yes we do know how long it is. ;)

Punishment for breaking the guild rules will depend on the severity and circumstance of the offense, and will be entirely at the discretion of the guild leader and the officers. Punishments may range from a verbal warning to being permanently removed from the guild. The leadership retains the full right to kick anyone out for any reason whatsoever including general immaturity.


THE RULES

1. ROLE-PLAY RULES

  • We are Heavy Role-Play; always in-character.
  • Characters should be well thought-out, including their name.
  • Respect your fellow Role-Players.
  • Shoot for realism (that means cross-species relationships will not be permitted)
  • Don’t tolerate non-RP or bad RP.
  • Real life ALWAYS comes first.
  • NO DRAMA!!



Heavy Role-Play means that we are always in character. We have created these characters for a chance to try a different life. We all have imaginations that we like to flex and choose to use WoW and these characters for doing so. We log on with these characters to step into their shoes for a few hours, and live their lives. Role-play can range from lighthearted fun for our characters to emotionally havoc-reeking drama, so be prepared for anything!

We want to keep the reputation of being one of the premier Heavy Role-Play guilds on the server, so we ask that all members present an IC status at all times. When you need to say something OOC, use brackets to indicate it as such. By putting double parenthesis or brackets at the beginning and/or end of your sentence, others will know that it is the player speaking and not the character. For example: ((brb, gonna grab a drink)) or [[afk a min]].

We try to schedule special role-playing events and encourage members to develop stories to run for their fellow members. Though we can’t always be together in person to role-play, we remain in-character in /g chat and also in parties as we adventure. Feathermoon has a huge RP community and we want to do everything we can to ensure that we are one of the largest, most well known and most respected RP guild on the server.

The bottom line: Be in character as much as you can be. You are the representative of a heavy RP guild so do your best to remain in character at all times and conduct yourself as a member of the tribe. We do understand that in groups and raids it can be very difficult to RP but remember that we are trying to raise the bar here. Even if you group with non-RPers still RP. Who knows, maybe you can “convert” them.

Characters are expected to be well thought out. They can be the result of a sudden inspiration, but you should try to flesh the character out as much as possible before applying to and playing in the guild. They should have a personality of their own, as well as a background story or history. We have resources available to assist with this and several members that are lore savvy and willing to help new members come up with ideas and/or details for new characters. All you have to do is ask.

If your character does not have a name that would appear naturally in the world of Azeroth and/or does not agree with our guild naming conventions or the Blizzard Naming Policy, that character will not be considered for membership. We consider the name of the character the first test of an application. Each name is judged individually and on a case-by-case basis.

Here are some examples to give you an idea of names that are unlikely to be accepted:

  • Distinctive names from pop culture or popular literature, like Anakin, Homersimpson, Randalthor, Neo, Fordprefect, Drizzt, ect.
  • Silly names like Monsterkiller, Chevy, Grogdrinker, Prince, Amazingmage, and Schoolgirl, etc.
  • Names with special characters.
  • Any other name unsuitable for an RP server according to Blizzard’s guidelines.



If your character has a name similar to any of these examples, and you would like to enter our guild, you'll probably want to start a new character with a suitable name and then apply. If you have a question about whether your name is likely to be approved, please ask a guild officer.

If you are planning to transfer a character to Feathermoon this is especially important. You have the perfect opportunity to change your character's name, be sure not to pass it up, if you need or want to change it. (To ensure you'll be given the opportunity to change a transferred character’s name, create a lvl 1 alt at the destination server with the exact same name as your to-be-transferred character's present name. When he/she gets moved, that name will already be taken on the new server and you will be prompted to choose a new name.)

Respect your fellow role-players. It is vitally important to know the difference between in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) actions. NEVER use role-playing as an excuse to do something that you know could hurt someone’s feelings OOC whether intentional or not.

While we should never take what happens to our characters personally, it is difficult to completely separate your emotions from those of your character. To do something behind someone’s back that you know will have a devastating effect on another player’s character is unacceptable. We are all mature adults (I hope), and we deserve each others respect and consideration out-of-character as well. Don’t do something that may ruin the fun for another player. If it’s something you feel your character would do, talk to that other player FIRST. Don’t just assume that they will be okay with it or shouldn’t take it personally because it’s happening IC.

Shoot for realism in your characters. Let’s be honest. The Tauren/Blood Elf sexual relationship/marriage wouldn’t work. The biology alone prevents this and there is little precedent for such couplings in the Blizzard lore. Therefore, Pride of the Ancestors will not allow IC cross-species relationships within the guild. Love? Sure. Being fond of one of the races, absolutely. But having them get married or have babies is a bit like a human marrying a dolphin.

That aside, try to be as realistic with your characters as possible. For example, if you are playing a hunter, you are welcome to interact with or refer to your pet. For most of us it immerses us even further in your story and your character.

Don’t tolerate non-RP and bad RP. If you see someone running around with a clearly non-RP player name, you will be expected to report them. To do this click on the “?” in your menu, then “Open a Ticket”, “Issues that GMs can help with”, “Behavior/Harassment”, then report an inappropriate RP name and list the name(s). This is all part of improving RP on the server. If someone is no RP’ing in a city and in public areas, please report them using the same method listed above. According to Blizzard, not RP’ing in public areas is unacceptable on RP servers.

Initiate random RP even if it’s with someone that doesn’t appear to be an RPer. And do everything you can to make your RP quality. Hence why no demon-babies, vampires, rape scenarios, evil characters, etc.

REAL LIFE ALWAYS COMES FIRST! We can’t say this enough – THIS. IS. A. GAME!! We come here to have fun! Please don’t ever let what happens in this game affect you in real life. Don’t ever think that you are obligated to be here for the rest of the guild when your real life is making demands that pull you away. This is only a game and should never take precedence over anything going on in your real life.

If you feel yourself falling too far into your character or the game, take a step back from your computer and review what is happening. We play WoW to have FUN. If you’re not having fun while you play, something is wrong. If you find yourself in this position, please do not hesitate to speak OOC with one of the High Councilors or other officers. We may not be certified psychologists, but we’re your friends and we have shoulders for you to lean on when you need them.

NO DRAMA!! We will not tolerate drama in this guild. Neither IC melodrama nor OOC drama has any place in this guild. We all want to have fun and things can get out of hand and out of control too fast. This is a game! Enjoy it!


2. CHAT RULES

  • Silence is NEVER offensive.
  • Guild chat is In-Character at all times.
  • Guild characters only in the guild’s OOC chat channel.
  • Respect other members at all times.
  • Do not jump to conclusions regarding inflection/tone.
  • No harassment of any kind.
  • No political, sexual, gay/lesbian, or religious discussion
  • No OOC gossiping.
  • No l33t speak.
  • No begging.
  • No spamming.
  • Keep chat PG13 (meaning limited swearing).


Silence Is Never Offensive! Silence can mean many things. Let's say you whisper someone, and they never get back to you. DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY. You may have a constant, never-interrupted gaming experience, and you never miss a whisper, but most people have life going on behind them when they play this game. The dog needs to go out, the baby is screaming, or mom wants the garbage taken out; your tell fades away before they get back to their computer. DO NOT EVER take offense when someone does not reply to you. There are so many possible reasons why, and "they're ignoring me" is the least likely. Just be patient about it and try again.

Guild Chat is In-Character (IC) at all times. Speaking Out-Of-Character (OOC) using two parenthesis ((like this)) in guild chat is discouraged, but sometimes can't be avoided, like if you cannot log into the OOC chat channel or you are linking an item to show the rest of the guild.

Guild characters only in the guild’s official OOC chat channel. There are many reasons for this, and the biggest is simplicity. As role-players we have a habit of making many different characters, not all of which are in this particular guild. In order to keep the guild’s OOC channel useful with a good signal to noise ratio, we ask that you only join the channel with the characters that are actually IN the guild. There are other channels set up if you would like to keep in contact with each other while on a non-guild alt, and that is also what your ‘Friends List’ is for.

Guild members will respect each other at all times. We realize many members may be young and are used to dealing with people their own age. We appreciate players of all ages here and you will be not be judged by your age, but your maturity, so be cool and respect people who may ask you to tone things down a bit.

No arguing in OOC chat. Arguing IC will be allowed, but only to a point. It is the management's intent that we be a band of lighthearted FRIENDS, not enemies. Playful banter is ok, but actual arguing is not smiled upon. We come here to have FUN and relax and no one enjoys being caught in the middle of someone else’s fight.

If you disagree with someone do it in a polite way, there is no need to start a flame war. Remember that misunderstandings are very frequent due to the limited means of communication we have (text only). If you find out you were wrong, admit it and move on.

Don't jump to conclusions regarding someone’s inflection/tone. If you find yourself offended, take a step back and look again at the words that were written. It’s possible that they were meant in a manner different than you took them. It is very hard to interpret a person’s meaning when we cannot hear their voice. Never, ever automatically assume that someone is trying to offend you. If you’re still not sure, talk to them amicably in a whisper rather than call them out in the public channel.

Harassment of fellow guild members of any kind WILL NOT BE TOLERATED and will be grounds for IMMEDIATE removal from the guild. There will be no derogatory Racial/Ethnic/Gender/Sexual/Foul or vulgar comments in any public channel, guild sanctioned or otherwise, by a guild member. It is very easy to shift+click someone's name and see what guild they are from. If someone is offended by a comment whether intentionally or by mistake then an apology is required. Also, please do not spam general/local/world defense chat with useless conversation.

No political, sexual, gay/lesbian, or religious discussion is allowed in any of our guild chat channels. These topics only serve to create arguments and misunderstandings. There are plenty of places you can go to discuss these things if you wish, so there is no need to bring them into the gaming experience. Lesser sexual jabs or innuendos that go on for more than a few isolated comments are against the rules. Be mature and police yourself on this, please. The management does not want to have to come in and stop it. We've done it. It's not fun. But we simply won't overlook things that will cause our members to feel uncomfortable or shield their children’s eyes.

Even speaking in-character should be diplomatic. A discussion of the tenants of the Light vs. Shadow or Elune vs. the Earthmother, for example, are acceptable religious debates as they are in-game and likely a source of conversation for characters. But it should never get too heated.

A character that does not like gay/lesbians because they feel it is unnatural is fine but should not be combative about their opinion. Only bring it up if it occurs naturally in the conversation.

No OOC gossiping behind other members' backs.
If someone tries to fill you in on "juicy" information about another member, report that person to an officer. It simply will not be tolerated. A member may have shared a personal secret with you, but that doesn't mean they want the whole guild to know. Please be courteous and respect their privacy. No one likes drama, and it can lead to trouble for the entire guild.

No l33t speak. Note: Leet speak is often used to haze new members, and is also used to poke fun at the gaming culture that does use leet speak. All leet spoken is spoken in jest, and tongue-in-cheek. If someone goes overboard, it will be dealt with.

Please spell out words and use proper capitalization and punctuation. Abbreviations are not allowed during role-playing, and are generally discouraged OOC. Please note, though, that the usual game abbreviations are perfectly acceptable OOC, such as UBRS, UC, SFK, etc.

Begging is strictly forbidden. There should be no begging for money, items, groups, promotion, etc. Begging should not be confused with asking for these things. The difference is defined as follows. Asking is a specific request targeted to a specific person or group of people with few or no follow up requests. Begging is a general request targeting a specific person or group of people with constant follow up requests, usually persistent and annoying with guilt added as incentive.

Examples of Asking:
"Is anyone near Undercity that has 2 silver to spare for a bat ride?"; "Anyone need a lvl 36 Warrior?"; "Is there an alchemist that can make [Elixir of Minor Agility]?"; “Anyone interested in a trip to Scarlet Monastery?"

Examples of Begging:
"Can someone please give me 10 gold?"; "Come on I really need money"; "Please anyone?"; "I’m bored, someone take me somewhere please?!"; "Come on, I'm a guildie!"; "It's your group, kick someone out."; "I really need --." "Could you come to Silvermoon and make it for me?"

Do not spam the channels. While it is fine to communicate in OOC chat, please don’t go overboard. Directions, one-to-one communication and pointless exclamations (Laaaaaag!!!) should be kept to a minimum. We want good signal to noise ratio so that the OOC chat remains useful. Non-game related comments are ok, as long as they are short.

Keep it PG-13 While we're all adults, excessive swearing or coarse language is not acceptable. We all slip and we all feel frustrated from time to time, but continued use of foul or inappropriate language will not be tolerated.

Abuse of Guild Chat Channels
If there is no officer online when the abuse happens please take a screenshot and contact the one of the officers the Chieftain and explain the situation. We will investigate it and warn people that abuse guild chat.

If a member has a problem with the guild or with a guild mate, he must first try to resolve the problem on his own, in private, like an adult. If this does not work, contact an officer. Stating your disgruntlement in public is NOT the thing to do.


3. GAME-PLAY RULES

  • Live by the 3 Rs - Respect, Responsibility, and Reputation
  • Present a good example of the tribe and heavy-RP to all WoW players.
  • No Ninja Looting! Ever!
  • Use common Instance Etiquette when grouping with others.


We live by the 3 R's - Respect, Responsibility, and Reputation. Maturity and good sportsmanship is expected from all members at all times. No outbursts of anger, no sulking, no insubordination. If you’re having a bad day, your nerves are on edge, or you’re simply in a bad mood, make certain that you can control yourself and your emotions before you log on.

Present a good example of the tribe and heavy-RP to all players in World of Warcraft. While grouping with non-guild players, please act as you would with guild members (or even better!). You are an ambassador of Pride of the Ancestors...mostly by the big ol’ flag over your head. You are representing our guild at all times, whether you like it or not. If this statement makes you nervous, please don't join. We want people to see us as a well-respected guild, and hopefully the regular players at large will accept you because they know our members are safe to group with. Don't let us down.

No Ninja Looting! Ever! Ninja Looting is taking or attempting to take things that you are not entitled to receive. There should be absolutely no confusion on this. Saying you didn't know will not be an excuse, so take precautions to keep this from happening.

Use Group Etiquette when in an instance/group with others. There should always be a leader, and he or she should be listened to at all times. Don't argue with the instance leader, use whispers if you have an issue or disagreement. Refrain from “newbish” behavior; keep the pace steady and make sure to stay tightly grouped with your party (this means physical proximity). If you find you’ve made a fatal error, admit it, apologize, and move on.

4. RECRUITMENT RULES

  • Every member/character must fill out an application.
  • Must read and agree to these rules.
  • Must be level 15 or higher.
  • New members will go through a trial period.
  • Inactive characters will be removed from the guild.


Every member/character must fill out an application and go through the approval process. Pride of the Ancestors is an invite-by-application-only guild. If a current member is interested in inviting a new member, they must direct the prospective member to our website to fill out an application and read over the guild rules.

Every member must read and agree to these rules. "I didn't know that rule" is not something we want to hear later down the road. If you fill out an application, you are acknowledging that you’ve read these rules and agree to follow them.

Characters must be level 15 or higher. This is to ensure that a player is somewhat devoted to this character and not the result of a whim idea. This goes hand in hand with our rules on character creation/naming. We want characters that we know players have a strong desire to continue playing and developing.

New members will go through a trial period before being promoted. During this trial period they will be under examination by the members, who will be looking to evaluate any contributions (socially and aid-wise) to the guild, personality traits, and compatibility. New members that socialize and aid others in time of need are preferred. Effort being made in RP is also a huge bonus.

If you are inactive for a long time (3 weeks) please don't be offended if we remove you from the guild. The guild list can get pretty long and full of people who aren't really participating. If you know you’re going to be inactive for a while, or taking a break/vacation for a few months or something, try to remember to inform us so we don't worry that you were hit by a bus. If you return and find you've been ejected from the guild, whisper an officer and we'll talk.

If you have any questions or comments about any of the rules set forth by Pride of the Ancestors, please feel free to contact any of the guild officers or the Chieftain.

If we haven't scared you off yet, here is a link to the application. Remember, by submitting an application you are acknowledging that you have read and agree to these rules.

 Open Recruitment
« Result #9 on Feb 5, 2008, 4:49pm »

We are currently recruiting any class level 15 or higher except warlocks. Invitations are for a trial period and promotion is given based on how well a member fits in. The tribe currently needs warriors and healers so these will have first priority.

We are now accepting applications from Blood Elves or Death Knights especially those that the guild leader and officers know. We will be looking at these applications very close. We want to see a GREAT backstory that is creative and unique.

Come on in!

 Guild Charter
« Result #10 on Feb 5, 2008, 12:33pm »

Pride of the Ancestors is a tribe founded by the hunter Jox Finehoof. After being a part of several tribes, councils, and even mercenary bands, Jox spent days in meditation and felt led by the Earthmother to form a new tribe – one loyal to Cairne Bloodhoof and Thrall.

With the addition of the Blood Elves to the Horde, Jox felt uncomfortable with their lifestyle, the sway they held over the leadership of the Horde, and their self-serving ends. While he sympathizes with their plight and curses the Scourge for the ruination they wrought on the Sin’dorei, he feels their alliance is one of convenience and hold them in the same suspicion as he holds most of the Forsaken. Individuals may prove themselves but as a whole the groups are not to be trusted.

In all his years on the hunt, Jox has felt a strong connection with the Earth and the Earthmother. He has always sought to do her will. He feels a strong tie to his own kin and would lay his life down for his troll and orc brothers and sisters. He feels a passion to unite more of the Horde under a banner of loyalty, nobility, and honor. To live lives worthy of their ancestors – lives that would make his ancestors proud.

To that end, he welcomes all trolls, orcs, and tauren. Due to the suspicion he holds toward Forsaken, they are welcome to join the tribe but must be committed to the ideals and direction of the tribe before being allowed in. Blood Elves are welcome in small numbers as long as they prove themselves loyal, noble, and honorable. Warlocks are not to be tolerated and will not be allowed to have membership no matter the race.

There must be a new standard. A new call to higher things. Azeroth needs champions worthy of her ancestors who will stand for something better. Some of the glory has been lost from the Horde by allowing itself to be corrupted by warlocks and power-hungry madmen. It is time for a tribe to rise up and call the Horde to its rightful place and make our ancestors proud!

Out-of-Character Information

We are a heavy roleplay guild with mature, friendly members. We welcome characters level 15 and above of all Horde races, almost all classes, and creeds that match the theme and spirit of the tribe. Please note that we will limit the number of blood elves allowed to participate - more on that later. Roleplay experience is required even if it’s minimal. All we ask is that you strive to make good RP happen in the guild and on the server. Even if you’ve only tried RP on a very limited basis, you may find this is a great guild for you – we want to improve and increase the RP on Feathermoon and welcome you if you’d like to make this guild your home for your first foray into RP. But don’t get offended if some of the members coach you on your RP. ;)

All events are done in-character. Our members enjoy grouping and instancing together while roleplaying, and some choose to take advantage of PVP and/or raiding opportunities. Many simply wish only to socialize and are in the guild strictly for the roleplay interaction that it offers. We are all here to have fun; no one style of play is better than another, and we ask that all members respect that. While we all enjoy different aspects of the game, the one thing that ties us all together is the roleplay, and that will always come first.

We hold monthly roleplaying events and will eventually have guild RP raids and world and/or battleground PVP events. All events of this nature will be optional. Our end-game presence will grow stronger as the guild grows and we will plan out more as we get bigger. Raiding is NOT a strong focus of ours. If running Naxx and doing big 25-mans often is important to you, we're NOT the guild for you. Raiding is an extra treat for us, and will never be top priority.

Characters wishing to join the guild should have some social skills. Since we are a roleplay guild, it will not work to have a character so shy he/she won’t say "hi" or so mysterious they are cryptic and annoying. Make certain your character agrees to the IC goals of the tribe as posted above. If your character cannot stand to be in the presence of the Forsaken or wishes to eat all blood elves, you may find yourself in great company. If you cannot stand tauren or the "uglier" races, this is not the guild for you. We welcome dark, mysterious characters, but will not tolerate evil characters.

Blood Elves: We said we’d mention the issues with Blood Elves. I have the utmost respect for quality Sin’Dorei characters that are well thought out and creative. I have found, however, that a lot of drama and bad RP follows elves. I am grateful for their introduction because it has boosted RP on Feathermoon. And we welcome Blood Elves with well thought-out backgrounds and personalities and characters that match well with the guild, but we will deliberately limit their numbers in our ranks due to the guild leader’s (and the officers’) experience with elves.

Half-dragon, full-dragon, cat-people, vampires, drama queens, warlocks, bestials, attention mongers, demon-babies, demon spawn, possessed characters, etc. need not apply.

Members are expected to read and abide by the rules. Please do not bother to apply if you have not read them. You’ll know if you fit in with us if you read our rules. If you have a problem with any of them or don’t agree with them, don’t apply.

If you have any questions about the guild or would like to speak with an officer, please feel free to email joxfinehoof AT gmail dot com or whisper any of our members in-game. If you REALLY want to impress us, catch us on the streets and start a random RP encounter!
