“Come on, you fight like a girl!”

“Do not!

“Do too!

“I fight like a proper Shelby man.“ He said after throwing a hard right hook.

We are an alliance guild on Wyrmrest Accord that focuses on both city and world roleplay.

The guild itself is a shop that fronts for a sect of the Uncrowned. While what we do is for the greater good, devious tactics are employed to see that we do our jobs effectively and with as much profit as we can muster from it. And hey, it’s not that bad. Stealing isn’t a crime when you’re stealing from the Burning Legion, right?

We are looking for roleplayers that are mature, friendly, and looking to get their hands into an adventure-type dark roleplay guild.

The guild is broken up into three sects:

Blackguard: These are the people who go out into the field and make the magic happen. Adventurers whose jobs vary from beast slaying to assassinations, these are the dashing heroes of the guild.

Coven: Previously named Demonology and Artifacts, these are the “eggheads” of the guild, best suited for casters or otherwise scholarly characters, these are the research teams or those who help around the shop front.

Blackwatch: The eyes and ears of the guild, those in this sect excel at diplomacy, spying, and all-around knowing what’s happening in Stormwind City or with people/groups of interest. This sect is also in charge of recruitment scouting, finding capable individuals to join the cause.

Currently we are recruiting any class and race, although max level characters (Or at least level 100) are preferred, as many of our adventures bring us out into the world, including on the Broken Isles.

We are willing to train characters and help in character development as well! Is your character not Uncrowned material? Hang around with us, and we’ll teach you tricks of the trade and give you plenty of field experience to back up that pretty coin of yours.

If you are interested, contact Archelaos (In-game Archelaos or Luxmancer) or message them on tumblr ( @high-inquisitor ). The recruitment process is fun, easy, and will give you a good idea of what to expect from the guild.

“It’s for the greater good.”

Alex wasn’t shy over playing that card. He had some idea, he must have, that the old Inquisitor was trying his hand at being good again. Well, for the first time, really. After having left Shadowbrand, Archelaos found himself depressed. The depression wasn’t new, it was expected really, as many things in his life these days were. It always happened when he left a job, and he left them often enough to notice the pattern. He was depressed when the left the Scarlets, depressed when he left the Huntsmen, depressed when he left the Guard, depressed when he left the Crows… Shadowbrand was merely another chapter that he was bringing to a close.

Or so he thought.

Under new management was a good way to put Shadowbrand Acquisitions. While Address was still the boss, he knew that she would shriek if she wasn’t, it seemed that Alex Arroman had taken the reins on the operation, bringing new structure and leadership to a dwindling little group of misfits, and had approached Archelaos for help in the reform.

“We’re not part of the Alliance, and we’re not part of the Horde either. Completely unaffiliated with either, some would even say that we’re their enemies. We are affiliated with the Uncrowned, but we still have some independence. We’re in this for profit, personal gain, and of course, the greater good of Azeroth as a whole.” In his voice was a switchblade smile, a sly little thing that the Inquisitor didn’t need to physically see to know it was there. Alex knew how to talk to him, and on some level he could appreciate that. It meant that the man had taken the time to ask around, get to know him, know how to appeal to the old buck. The shadow jester knew just how to pluck the strings that would later wrap around his underlings. Archelaos knew and accepted this – if Alex proved himself capable, he’d even say he was comfortable with it. He was certainly well on his way.

Life under the jester had been good thus far. Archelaos was being paid for his time, a problem that Shadowbrand had in the past. He was seeing the world, feeling adventure under his feet and thrills in his chest – The old man had nearly forgotten the anxiety and thrill of the kill when it’s actually challenging. There had been two jobs thus far: Slaying a great fel-corrupted beast in the Broken Shore, and assassinating Legion spies in the heart of Orgrimmar. Of course, the Inquisitor had duties beyond that. He had to know everything that was happening in the city, who was doing what and how that could be used to their advantage… Although truthfully, that’s what he did with his time already.

Shadowbrand Acquisitions, now a front for a sect of the Uncrowned. It was all for the greater good, something Alex reminded him of just about every time he asked for the weary old stag to trust him. It was growing easier by the day.

All in all, life was good under the new king.

Yes my friend’s it is here! I was going to post it sooner but a few last second changes had to be made for it. Now though…now we have a map of Stormwind’s shops! I WILL be keeping up with this map as things shift about, people move onwards or disappear, or when new shops open! Want in on this map? Contact me. Know someone that’d enjoy it? Share this post and let those beyond tumblr see this! It helps -the community-.   :D

Map 

Click on the word map above for the link to the google drive :) It is a power point as I had to do a district by district overlay of it all.

I WILL TAG ALL THE PEOPLE ABOUT THIS.

“It was for my son’s safety that I left the Crows. I had no real reason to outside of that, Lucia Vitae did pressure me to, and I make no secret of this. However, the only reason that I actually left was because the Crows had made themselves the enemies of my adoptive son, and I was told to choose where my loyalties were, to the group or to this individual. I chose the individual.

This behavior is not something that is new for me. I joined the Crows for an individual as well. I joined the Scarlet Crusade and left it for an individual. Very rarely do I find that I care for a group as a whole, that is a great deal of work that, frankly, I don’t have the energy for. It’s not how I operate, and it never has been.

Do not misunderstand me. This is not to say that I do not care for the people in Shadowbrand, I do. That is why I have stayed. I love Address, my friend and my wife, through her flaws and her virtues. I love Angaela despite her threats and despite her giving me plenty of reasons not to. Even those who I am cold towards, Quorala and Senarias, they are people I would risk my life for. I like Kat, even Alex and Scarlett. Jes and Inty haven’t quite made it onto my shitlist either, so they’re just fine.

My reason for leaving isn’t because of anyone within Shadowbrand, but for one person outside of it. If in this group or any other that I join, I am forced to pick between my family or the group, I will always choose my family. Address can claim that nothing will come of it, and I would like to believe her, but threats have been made, and I know Angaela to mean every word that she says. And, quite simply, I can’t work with someone who would put me in that position, and I certainly can’t do it after it was so lovingly explained to me that I am no longer welcome.

And so it is with heavy but steeled heart that I officially announce my departure from Shadowbrand Acquisitions. It was an adventure, and I consider each of you a friend within reason. I wish you the greatest of luck and glory in your accomplishments, and I do hope that we may never look upon one another as foes.

Eternally yours,

The old Inquisitor read through his letter one final time as he approached the shop, well before its opening time. He bit his lip, glancing to the wood of the door before folding the paper and taping it up.

Greater things awaited all of them, it seemed, and he hoped he was merely the first one to grasp at it. “Good luck, everyone.” He found himself murmuring before turning on his heel and walking away.

<Maw of Flame> –Heavy RP Guild

Guild Master: @zaderick​ Main Locations: Pandaria, Booty Bay, Dalaran, Stormwind Faction: OOC- Alliance. IC- Cross-Faction - All Races and Classes Accepted Guild Status: Recruiting Website: @theblackmaw

About the Maw of Flame:

We’re Treasure Hunters!

The Maw of Flame is a story-driven heavy roleplaying guild on Alliance side. We focus on individual storylines that tie back to a larger story, keeping individual characters engaged and interested in ongoing roleplay throughout the world. Much of our roleplay takes us outside of main cities, although there is always opportunity to do occasional city roleplay.

The main idea is that we are a group of outlaw pirates, bandits, and morally gray, questionable characters looking to get rich. Not everyone is necessarily a pirate, but there is a big focus on the crew of the fearsome ship, the Black Maw. Led by Captain Killian Essex (Zaderick’s alias), those who rally under his banner plunder, loot, and pillage their way to ill-gotten prosperity and adventure.

Who Are We Recruiting?:

OOCly- Looking for self-motivated individuals interested in story-driven roleplay! Looking for players who are vocal about what they want and what they don’t want, who are respectful of their fellow guild mates, and who actively seek to build storylines with us. Please be advised, this is an adult oriented guild, so if you are sensitive to strong language, violence, alcohol consumption/gambling/addictive behaviors, sexual themes, and other similar topics, this might not be the guild for you.

ICly- Discreet individuals with skill sets that appeal to the Captain. Are you a spy, cook, kobold specialist, blacksmith, repairman, songwriter, engineer, lore master, archaeologist, medic, mage, assassin, sharpshooter, etc? Sailors come a dime a dozen. Captain Essex seeks open-minded, talented individuals with a passion for exploration and ambition for treasure.

Ranks*:

Dread Captain (GM) Black Maw Crew (Member) Associate (Member) Deck Swabber (Beginner, Trial) Suckbot OOC (Self Explanatory)

*Special ranks are available depending on your IC role.

How To Join:

*Send a message to Zaderick (Alliance, Wyrmrest Accord). *Send an ask to @zaderick, or @theblackmaw

An IC meeting will take place between the Captain and your character, whether in-game, through Discord, or Tumblr. You can get a feel for what our roleplay is like, and if it seems like a good fit, we will get you situated. (Note: Alts are welcome within reason. We are not a rarely-used alt depot.)

Guild Storyline:

Zaderick McGowan is an ex-Kirin Tor pyromancer who turned to a life of piracy after gaining a ship with a legacy to uphold. Though he is no longer Kirin Tor, he possesses a great wealth of information on several types of magic, including chronomancy. Known to everyone as Killian Essex, he was pulled into the world of piracy and has taken the seas by storm. Forming a council with several crews across the seven seas, they banded together to take over an island known as Blacksail Cove just south of Aszuna and plunder its treasures. Now renamed Kal’Falah Cove, the Black Maw operates from there and is actively building a private port of call on ancient kaldorei ruins.

Along the way, they will build alliances with organizations and other crews, and work together to fortify their little haven. They’ll also encounter resistance from other pirates, law enforcement, and all manner of monsters and demons, especially with the Legion so close.

Rules of Engagement

1. Keep IC and OOC strictly separate.

2. Communicate when you do not agree with something. The moment something feels off, or you feel like something needs the GM’s attention, please speak up.

3. Respect everyone and don’t be rude OOC. Simple.

We will not tolerate bullying or harassment. Lines of communication are always open if you do not agree with what is happening in the story and your involvement in it. If you are removed from a story due to inability to work on a resolution, reconcile or come to an agreement, please be respectful of that. We’re all in this to have a fun and engaging story.
