About Us

Roleplay Themes

Worgen | Adventure | Casually Social
Forming Genuine Connections | Deep, Darker & Mature

Rules & Guidelines

LORE ABIDING
Keep your character(s) and RP lore-abiding, further ensuring that it's aligned with the type of RP we're catering to.18+
Due to the themes which we may explore, we recommend that you're at least 18+ and open to potentially dark and mature themes. That being said, this isn't a focus of the community as a whole, but something that might occur, as Worgen characters tend to have quite some baggage as an expansion of the WoW-lore.KEEP IC & OOC SEPARATE
We're all for difficult characters, but don't let IC happenings bleed into our OOC environment and vice versa.BE CIVIL
The core of our rules and guidelines have been listed above, but there exists more extensive information about them in our Discord server.

Our Roleplay

We are first and foremost, a social-adventure guild that shed light on the struggles and challenges of the Worgen Curse, mixed with trading/business RP. Our aim is to provide meaningful RP, not only for our immediate guild members, but also for the wider Argent Dawn community.As a community we're a diverse mix of beginner, intermediate and veteran roleplayers, all with the common goal of contributing to a positive and safe OOC environment, where we can express and share our creativity with one another IC.We seek to immerse ourself in the lore and explore the concepts of what the everyday life could've been like for the families who had to stay behind when their children in an adult age goes off to war, those who survived and got to see some of their families return, or none at all, and those who managed to stay within the safety of city walls, sheltered by the unpredictable life on the road. And through that, we aim to create space for meaningful bonds to form between guild members, which in turn allows us to host events focused on personalised character development and progression.

Affiliations & Locations

Gilneas (Keel Harbour) | Stromgarde | Kul Tiras | Stormwind

The guild is first and foremost affiliated with the Kingdom of Gilneas, due to the Head Rose having direct ties to Gilneas. With that said, we do not consider ourselves a Gilnean-exclusive guild seeing as we rotate between Gilneas, Stromgarde, Kul Tiras and Stormwind, letting the trade business dictate our locations.The guild is a supporter of the Alliance and its cause, and thus respecting the current truce between the Alliance and the Horde. The guild is neutral to other non-Alliance and non-Horde factions.

Events & Systems

REOCCURING EVENTS
Our RP will centre around the experience of living with the Worgen affliction, focusing on its challenges and ways to manage and embrace it. The guild will offer:• The Ritual of Balance ― a quarterly event.
• Moon Gatherings ― a monthly guild event dedicated to social RP.
• The Wild Hunts ― a quarterly, organised hunt where the Worgen form is utilised.
• Treatments ― offering different types of treatments and medicine to help manage the affliction.CUSTOM EVENT SYSTEM
We are currently working on putting together a custom event system, which will further utilise the Worgen form, which will be used during guild-exclusive events and campaigns. Otherwise we usually stick to the good old /roll 20.

Ranks

Because we're a guild that offers a bit of diversity, we have three different types of Officer roles, whom will ultimately oversee their own 'group' of people. This is because we wish to offer RP that is more specialised towards a certain theme, on top of being a social-adventure guild for those living with the affliction.Additionally, everyone, regardless of rank and role, are welcome to initiate and host events. Being a part of a guild is a group effort, after all.RANKS
• HEARTHWARDEN (Officer)
The Hearthwarden are tasked with ensuring everyone's safety, and will do so with the aid of our Thornshields, along with the occasional Hunters. This will be the closest we will have to offer of any kind of militant RP, with the Hearthwarden acting as a 'second-in-command'.• MEDICUS (Officer)
The Medicus are tasked with overseeing the health and wellbeing in the guild, with the aid of our Menders, Herbalists and the occasional Hunters. A Medicus is our 'Head Healer' who will be in charge of anything medically related. It is intended that Hearthwarden and Medicus work hand in hand with one another, as they might often be assigned the same missions. Where there's risk for combat and injury, healers will be needed.• MERCHANT (Officer)
Our Merchants are in charge of establishing trade and business, as well as being responsible for the guild's finances. They make sure we have wares to sell and trade, and that we have markets to go to, and generally ensure that the business is floating.All Officers are tasked with acting as our diplomats by establishing relations through either business or alliances with other guilds, communities and individuals.• THORNSHIELD
The Thornshields are our guardians and protections, and under the direct command of our Hearthwarden. Through business, it is Thornshields who will be assigned to armed escort missions or simply as additional guards.• HUNTER
The Hunter rank is the most versatile rank we have. Within the guild, it is the Hunters who will make sure that there's food to eat, as the guild offers not only shelter but meals as well to our members and those who seek the guild's aid with the affliction. Through business, it is the Hunters who will be assigned any tracking missions, which allows them to work with every aspect of RP that we offer.• MENDER
Under the direct care of the Medicus, our Menders can come from all kinds of backgrounds, whether they use the Light, Druidic magic or have received a medical education. Through business, our Menders can be requested as caretakers of an individual, or be assigned alongside the missions of the Thornshields as medical aid.• HERBALIST
While also being under the Medicus' care, Herbalists doesn't need to have an expertise within the world of healing. Instead, our Herbalists are in charge of all of our herbs and plants, which is used not only for medicinal purposes, but also culinary, cosmetic, or simply as a ware for the business. They're tasked with maintaining our herb-plant-spice stock and taking care of the herbs and plants we grow ourselves.• TRADER
Our Traders are under the direct care of our Merchants, and their task is to help with conducting as much successful business as possible, within morally and ethically correct means. We seek charismatic characters with an outgoing personality for this rank.• CRAFTER
Our Crafters are also under the immediate care of our Merchants, and will be working alongside both Merchants and Traders closely. It is the Crafter's creations that make up a huge portion of our tradeable and sellable wares. Our Crafters might prefer staying at their workshop to continue working on their latest creations, which is perfectly fine as our Traders will sell or trade their wares instead, should it be preferred. Otherwise, most of our Crafters are fully capable of accepting custom orders, and on the top of that, we aim to have a wide variety of type of Crafters; whether they be carpenters, tailors, blacksmiths, cooks or writers.• COMPANION
The Companion is our default rank, for those who have yet to decide what to pursue, or who doesn't even wish to be assigned anything explicit. It is also used as an OOC rank for characters who does not wish to be a part of the guild IC, or for NPCs.Just because you've been assigned a rank does not mean that you're locked to it in all its entirety. You can still be assigned a Trader, but craft your own wares. You can be a Hunter but have a medical/healing background and offer healing when needed. You can be a Crafter, but offer to join in on armed escort or guard missions. The rank is merely meant to show what your character's main focus is within the guild and our RP.

Temporary Membership

As of right now, we have a handful of non-Worgen individuals in the guild. This is solely because they are a part of the to-be Charter Neighbourhood that our community is currently setting up. Once Charter Neighbourhoods have been implemented in the game, the guild will return to consist exclusively of Worgen. IC, non-Worgen members are not considered a part of the guild, only as neighbours.

Engage in RP with Us

Come visit our Company House

We're around and available to meet every other Thursday between 19:00 ST and 22:00 ST.As of right now, we're partaking in a campaign that's possibly immediately followed up by yet another campaign, thus we cannot guarantee our presence for the time being.

Business & Collaboration

Feel free to reach out to us if you're interested in doing business or other collaborative events with us! We aim to turn IC business tasks and missions into guild events. And with that said, the very majority of our own events are open to the public, unless otherwise is stated, so you're welcome to tag along regardless of class and race. Contributing and engaging in community-driven events and campaigns hosted by the broader RP community here on AD is a big focus of ours.

Requirements

LORE ABIDING
Your character must be aligned with Blizzard's world-building of the World of Warcraft universe.We're all for "simplistic characters", such of the likes of a farmer who joined the Alliance troops but got bitten during a mission, or someone who was born and raised in Stormwind, but got bitten by a feral Worgen during their visit to Duskwood.BE AFFLICTED
Your character must be afflicted, whether your character is a Kaldorei Worgen or an afflicted Human.18+
Your character must be the minimum age of 18 years old IC. Canonically, it’s implied that there are no afflicted minors or children. While that might be a decision to keep things within the PEGI12 rating, IC, we assume minors and children would not survive the transformation.With that said, we do recommend for you to be 18+ as a player, since our RP might touch on mature and darker themes.IC Death Knights
Though accepted into the Alliance, Death Knights remain controversial due to their ties to the Scourge and the Lich King. Worgen Death Knights are particularly troubling, having first served Arugal and later Arthas. Given this dark history and the mistrust they inspire, we choose not to accept them in the guild.IC WARLOCKS, WITCHES AND SIMILAR
IC dark magic users can become a part of the guild on the IC premise that they are either on a redemption arch, or simply decided to never use such magic again.This means that if it's discovered IC that there's a continuous use of dark magic, it will have IC consequences, which might lead to termination of the guild contract IC, but not an OOC removal. How our characters progress from there, will be up to the organic RP that ensues afterwards.CRIMINALS AND SHADY CHARACTERS
Similarly to dark magic users, IC, we will only accept former criminals who are either currently on a redemption arch, or have already put their criminal ways behind them for good. And again, if it's discovered that a character is once again actively engaging in criminal activities IC, there will be IC consequences.USING DISCORD
We do require you to have a Discord user as we use Discord as a way to make off-screen arrangements and plannings. We also conduct surveys through Discord to check in with our members and further ensure engagement and enjoyment through our RP.

Recruitment Process

We ask that potential members engage in RP with us, whether through events or casual, social RP a couple of times before we extend an IC guild invitation. This is to allow not only us, but for you too to get a feel about whether or not your character would be a good fit with us.If you’d like to join us OOC first, you’re welcome to do so both in-game and within the Discord server before officially becoming a guild member.

Contact

Feel free to contact Ruby (Rrye), Horatio (Whipple) or Erion (Gleamstrike) in-game, or Ruby Rye in various Alliance-Discord servers -- or simply just hop right in to our Discord server below!
