ā¢ Blades of the Phoenix ā¢
Members of the Blood Knights, the Farstriders, and the Magisters have all come together under one banner. Together, they have signed what is known to their order as āThe Phoenix Accordā; An agreement to treat one and other equally as one force. The protection of Quelāthalas and her people are the main goal.
A fresh, new heavy roleplay guild formed between a merge of <The Blood Offensive> and <The Sunblood Bulwark>! Our premise is a cooperative effort between the Magisterium, the Farstriders, and the Blood Knights with the idea to better defend Quel'thalas and advance the interest of the Sin'dorei at large.
Blades of the Phoenix operates as three separate groups under one banner, maintaining the individuality of each even when they come together, fighting side by side in defense of their homeland.Ā We allow more than just the three to join, however, and can advance in rank with the blessing and servitude with either of the three. If enough of the same life path were to be in force, adjustments can be made to accommodate.
Each section, while being apart of the guild, is separate and will have events that are themed after their respective roles. You can expect political/magical roleplay with the Magisters, outdoorsy scouting, and infiltration with the Farstriders, and Light/Knightly roleplay with the Blood Knights. There will also be a significant overlap between all three at times!
Rising from their unproven and scorned beginnings, the Blood Knights have become one of the most popular groups in Sinādorei society. With Lady Liadrin at their helm, though often away on business, it is up to those that work beneath her to ensure the men and women of the Blood Knight order carry out their duties.
Division Leader: Sarthyr Alyaāendil
Archon: Enthiel Alāalora
An elite group of Sinādorei Rangers, the Farstriders are led by none other than the esteemed Halduron Brightwing. Intimately bound to the wildlands, and with a deep respect for the law, the rangers that compose the Farstriders' ranks remain noble, traditional, and valiant protectors of blood elf society.
Division Leader: Vylara Dalādanil
Archon: Slade Arānareth
A prominent group of Sinādorei mages and one of the three major factions of the Silvermoon City governing body, the Magisters are arguably the most powerful political group in Silvermoon, with its leaders having strong historic ties to the upper echelons of the city.

ā¢ What You Can Expect ā¢
Immersive, story-driven roleplay!
One of the main goals of the Blades of the Phoenix is to promote & provide an immersive and story-driven roleplay environment for all of its members. Together, it is our plan to create long term story arches that revolve around training, combat, diplomacy, social events, and so much more!
Nothing is more satisfying than progressing a character through active and meaningful roleplay. It is one of the goals of our team to assist in providing all of our members with roleplay that will both challenge and entertain you the player. Through this, we hope, it will be possible to truly develop your characters in meaningful ways.
A True Focus on Sinādorei Culture!
With so many guilds leaning into the āFor the Hordeā category, we at Blades of the Phoenix wanted to get back to the heart of Sinādorei roleplay. Our guild will be based out of Quelāthalas and will focus on the needs and culture of the Sinādorei people first and foremost. Because of these values, we will be mainly focused on accepting Sinādorei roleplayers. Though the occasional Shalādorei may be accepted, this is not to be considered the norm and will be very heavily considered on a case by case situation.
Friendly and Easy Going Leaders!
We know how hard it can be to join a guild with people you may not know. Our Co-Leaders and Officer Core are made up friendly, long time roleplayers who are willing to assist in anything you made need. We are LGBTQ friendly and open and accepting to all!
ā¢ Phoenix Ranking Structure ā¢
The ranking structure of Blades of the Phoenix will vary from division to division. What this means is, each individual group will have ranks for your character to ICly move through, adding to character development as they are promoted. Because of limited space, the actual number of ranks is limited.
The available ranks within the physical guild structure are as follows:
Knight-Lord ā¢ Ranger-Lord ā¢ Lord-Magister
These three ranks hold the same level of responsibility. They are saved for the three Co-Gleads and will not be offered to the player base at large. These are the main division leaders and the men and women whom all members answer to.Ā
Archons are those who have not only excelled within the Blades and shown themselves capable, loyal and true but they have captured the trust of their respective Lords. These members are those who help put the ideas and tasks of their order into motion and council their Lords on what they may also think of the progress of their people.Ā
Those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Those who have shown not only pride for their people but for the Blades of the Phoenix. The leaders, the loyal, and the true. These brave men and women have been commended for their contributions to their respective orders and are elevated above the rest as the elite force of the Blades of the Phoenix.
āThe Body of the Phoenixā
Those who achieve the rank of Phoenix Guard make up the majority of the Blades. Not only have they gone through their trials as a recruit, but they have also proven their worth and prowess to their order enough that they are deemed worthy to become a brother or sister in arms.
The Blades are those who are fresh from their recruitment phase and have been given the opportunity to join the order properly. It is during each members time in the Phoenix Blade that they might focus on training, apprenticing or simply proving to their colleagues that they are worthy for the title of Guard and be given the equal footing to their orders that those before them have attained and continue to uphold.
A recruit is new to the order in its entirety and these first weeks of their time under the banner determine whether or not they are determined worthy of the honor of becoming a Blade and potentially achieving the position of Phoenix Guard. It is this time that they are expected to get to know their prospective colleagues, make themselves and their intentions known to their desired orders Lords and prepare for the difficult but fulfilling journey ahead.
Not everyone wants to dedicate themselves entirely to one cause, but their Blade and support are openly given to others. This rank is for those who do not wish to lose their currently established title or to climb the ranks of the Blades of the Phoenix but also wish to work closely with the order in a supplementary role. They will still be treated with the utmost respect, as any enlisted member would, and they will also be allowed to attend any event that fits their character.
We are looking forward to kicking this guild project into overdrive with open recruitment starting now! Feel free to reach out to any of our members as they can get you into contact with someone who can answer any and all of your questions!
Glory to the Sinādorei!
