The Silver Circle: Restoring Elune’s Will
Dressed in the elegant robes of a priestess of Elune, Priestess Feyawen Nightfury met with The Royal Courier to describe her efforts to return the followers of Elune to the core values of the Goddess. The Silver Circle’s members have twindled in the last millenium. Priestess Nightfury came to Stormwind to search for Kaldorei who have traveled from Kalimdor and to learn a little of the other members of the Alliance.
Founded by Imyira Whisperblade over 12,000 years ago, the then Crescent Circle warriors were known as devout followers of Elune. Since that ancient time, the group has evolved to become the organization it is today.
“As the moon guides Elune´s chosen warriors along the midnight paths, so does the Mandate of the Silver Circle guide its members in their vigil. These are the core values of the Silver Circle, and form the basis of the Code which guides them: a vision of Elune's will for the world:
For those that offer loyalty, let them receive fair council. For those that offer aid, let them receive succor. For those that offer faith, let them receive love.
To speak their heart and mind in council. To spill their blood to oppose those who defile nature. To stand in defense of the ancient places, against all who would bring war to the deep forests.
In the Circle stand Sisters and Brothers, those who will stand together when all others fail. Where each alone are weak, together the Circle abides, and is strong enough to overcome any foe.”
The Priestess was open about the past history of the organization and how her goal today is to create a group that will set an example of the philosophies of Elune and the faith surrounding the Goddess. “Those of us who know and follow the ancient ways, share information readily. It is how our Faith has endured for millennia. Unity of purpose, unity of trust. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation, and indignation. It is why all members of the Silver Circle are expected and responsible for speaking their hearts and minds in council. That is to say, all members of the Silver Circle stand on equal ground. Even with me."
The philosophies include one that the Priestess believes many Kaldorei have forgotten, “Today, our world is home to countless species of life, species that emerged from the soils of our planet, the breath of Elune, and from the life energies she gave. Others more, from the Great beyond. Protecting that life is imperative to the Silver Circle, as it is for many others; including the many other peoples of the Alliance. What lies above this is the Vision, the first that She shared with her people; Elune’s will for peace and balance, in all things. Darnassus is full of staunch traditionalists and gullible followers who openly mock or blame the highborne and nightborne people for this war, clinging to ancient blame. This racism is taught in our society, it is not autogenic. It is learned behavior towards persons with dissimilar characteristics and beliefs. Defeating racism, tribalism, intolerance and all forms of discrimination will liberate our people from the nightmare that lives in our hearts and minds. Those of the Silver Circle swear to oppose this, by serving as warriors, diplomats, and all manners of servants to uphold our virtues and see Elune’s will of peace become a reality.”
"The philosophies we follow are simple in that each of us are tied to the Goddess and each other; even the reserved Highborne and our newly found Nightborne cousins. We each must follow our own paths, stay loyal to the cause, and help guide one another to see Her vision fulfilled.
Defend the Kaldorei Nation
Stand in defense of the Kaldorei nation against all threats, from outside and within.
Oppose those who are an affront to the Goddess
Uncover and cleanse all threats to Nature, the manifest destiny of the Kaldorei, the fortitude of the Ancients, or the Will of the Goddess.
Honor the Alliance
Answer all honorable calls to arms, should the Alliance be attacked. Disregard brutish incitements to meaningless violence.”
The Silver Circle is looking for all of elven descent to join in their mission to see Elune’s will complete. “We seek brothers and sisters who would stand vigil over our people and the alliance, ever alert to oppose those who seek to despoil nature or corrupt our world. Especially, we seek individuals who might share our philosophies and desire to see Elune’s will of peace and balance fulfilled. We invite such individuals to meet us and aid us in our campaigns."
Based temporarily in Darnassus, the Silver Circle hopes to be based out of Lor'anel once officially recognized by the Council of the Moon. Seek out a member of the Silver Circle today to learn more and engage in discourse on how you might fit within the organization.
(OOC: The Silver Circle is recruiting. The process includes roleplay with at least one member of the guild and a series of follow up roleplays. Check out their shivtr site today for more information on the guild and how your character might fit within.
The preferred method is the "random meeting" where you arrange to meet up with a member of the Circle, and talk to them. Alternatively, you can send an in-game letter. Completing the rules agreement registration form on the guild site is required by all members. In order to begin the recruitment process with us, please follow these 5 steps in any creative fashion of your choosing:
Initiate roleplay with one of our members, and actively maintain roleplay with us.
Learn more about the Silver Circle and its members through roleplay.
Find an in-character reason for your character to join the Circle.
In-character, you must persuade a member of the Circle to sponsor your character.
To receive membership, you and your sponsor must persuade members of the Circle to recruit you during a Council Glade meeting.
On the basis of this meeting, you can expect to meet several of the Circle members, finally meeting one of the Elders, Wardens, or the Keeper. If we think that we can mesh well together, you will be invited to join the guild.
The Silver Circle is a heavy roleplay guild focused on night elf roleplay. The guild is exclusively open to kaldorei, highborne, and shal’dorei characters. As a night elf adventurers’ guild, they cater to a unique blend of themes, meaning the tap into a lot of the elements that make the night elves what we know and love. Their agenda is the defense of nature, kaldorei settlements, and Alliance fronts from all enemies. It is also to follow the manifest destiny of the kaldorei, to see Elune’s will of peace spread throughout the lands of Azeroth. The events they run and the role play they do will generally focus on this central theme, and members will be expected to participate in this discourse.)
