    “You are assembled before me today because crimson courage beats within each of your hearts, the same courage that led us through the long night of our resurgence. Even with the restored radiance of our invigorated Sunwell, all should know that its bright rays once again bring shadows drawn to our light. We stand teetering on the brink of a war of many fronts; the undead still reave and rampage to the south, our enmity boils with the Amani to the east, demonspawn and their servants of succor lurk about every shaded corner in our great city. You are here because valor demands your strength and the great Sin’dorei race must face these threats with extermination or risk annihilation of all we’ve built, and all we love.

    With the blessing and sanction of our great Lord Theron, I present to you The Bloodwatch - an opportunity for all those of Silvermoon’s finery to join their banners under the sacrifice and vigilance of our people. I call upon the valiant Blood Knights, the iron vanguard against the coming dark. I call upon the cunning Farstriders, the eyes and teeth against all our foes. I call upon the brilliance of the Magisters and all those who aspire to it, the mind and will of our powerful bloodline. Together we will unite as one thundering force in reclamation and restoration of Quel’thalas’ majesty. We will put an end to the creeping infection that worms through our lands, through fire and blood only for the ashes of these parasites to be left in our wake.” - Maltharesh Rahn’dorel, Commander of the Bloodwatch, 26 ADP.

    The Bloodwatch features a guild-driven, semi-custom story-line following the events of the Sunwell’s restoration at the hands of Azeroth’s adventurers as well as a rebuilt Silvermoon and Eversong for regional Blood Elf RP. The story will involve a joint operation between all branches of Silvermoon military under the sanctioned special forces unit known as the Bloodwatch. The phase works under a strict timeline with RP events and guild progression leading to the current expansion. However, the phase itself doubles as a hub for RP in Quel’thalas as well with the possibility for other guilds and characters not involved to enjoy Sin’dorei/Horde RP without needing to join Bloodwatch. Opportunities for other stories and non-Bloodwatch content will always be welcome with the caveat that anything concerning the overall stability of the setting be passed through Scrivenaut or Natty and other officers when they are chosen. The RP will be focused around Quel’thalas with possible ventures into foreign lands as well and not all content from every expansion will be part of the guild’s story. Once a chapter in the campaign ends, time will pass within a rest period where members can pursue their own adventures while the guild plot awaits its next beginning.

    Event Plan:

    Spoiler

     

    Prologue: Cull the Meek (Recruitment)

    Assigned as Commander of the order, Maltharesh begins recruitment throughout Silvermoon. Conscription notices are sent to the rest of the Horde capitals with a missive of request for able soldiers regardless of their specialties. Each Bloodwatch recruit is evaluated based on current rank, skill, aptitude for combat, and cooperation in a unit. Squadrons are formed of those that pass their trials, a grueling and cycling test of strength, discipline, and intelligence that repeats with each new batch of recruits.

     

    Chapter 1: The Trident

    Facing a three-pronged threat from multiple fronts, different squadrons are deployed to their most fitting combat zones. Most Blood Knights will find themselves on the vanguard, beating back the Scourge menace that yet plagues the Dead Scar. Most Farstriders will be dropped into the heated border war against the Amani to the southeast. Mages and warlocks will face the threat of the Legion’s forces and attempt to stop them from wresting control of the Scourge. Even so, a varied and diverse composition will make up each squadron with commanders from each branch leading the individual battles across all fronts. (( More likely than not, some if not most squadrons will be made up of NPCs unless enough players get involved to fill up the ranks. ))

     

    Quest: Sieging Shadow

    The fetid land of Deatholme serves as the heart of darkness as far as the Scourge are concerned. With a necropolis in progress, the undead work tirelessly to fulfill their master’s demands. Silvermoon would find itself in an extreme state of defense in the case the necropolis is completed and the floating city of death rises against Quel’thalas. It is up to the Blood Knight Commander to see that their plot is foiled and their necropolis is never completed.

     

    Quest: Operation - Shattertusk

    Since the Troll Wars and the dawning of the Orcs, the Amani’s numbers have replenished and filled their lands with able bodies suited for war. Their dark magic and a new, terrible god bolster them with power unlike anything seen before. Their ritual sacrifices of Sin’dorei flesh and blood have been discovered with a purpose far beyond succor to their deities as they attempt to truly incarnate one of their most foul primals in hopes of destroying Quel’thalas once and for all. The Farstrider Commander will see to it their god is aborted before its birth ever reaches fulcrum and that the Amani responsible for the massacre of Sin’dorei are exterminated permanently.

     

    Quest: Legionfoe

    Deep within the ranks of all combatants lie in wait the snakes of the Legion, watching and waiting to take advantage of any exploit in weakness they can leverage to their cause. Whether it be the enslavement of the Amani, the control of the present Scourge, or the toppling of Silvermoon itself, the Legion’s last demons left within Quel’thalas seek nothing but to reverse their failure at the Sunwell. They are cunning, clever, and slippery parasites with a penchant for defying death as they return in full form from the Nether. The task falls to the keen and intelligent minds of the Magisterium and their followers to operate counter-subterfuge efforts as well as reconnaissance and monitoring of demonic activity foreign to Silvermoon’s own skilled warlocks.

    rules.png

    The rules of the phase expand on those already present on Epsilon, with a few restrictions unique to the phase.

    -The Timeline policy is strictly enforced. All characters involved must be made to fit into the post-TBC era, either by retroactive conversion of an existing character or a new character created for the phase. (Characters converted to the timeline are not bound to the phase by any means and can freely RP whatever they’d like elsewhere. The same goes for all other characters.)

    -Characters of high rank/high influence or power need to be passed through either myself (Maltharesh) or Natty (Nora) with a brief explanation/summary of what the character is. This is a simple and necessary form of quality control, to ensure those with roles of command or leadership have characters that actually make sense and fit the setting. This includes but isn’t limited to the triumvirate of representatives that command each military branch within the Bloodwatch.

    -The Bloodwatch is a paramilitary organization, which means military RP. I’m not a military man myself and suggestions are welcome, but this is a serious phase and serious RP should be the consistent norm. Lol RP and an over-abundance of memes won’t be tolerated beyond a warning while IC. OOC chat is expected to be at a minimum.

    -Story events will usually be DMd by Scrivenaut or Natty. Other events are up to anyone who wants to start them, so long as either or both of us are briefly informed of what the event involves. Public RP in Silvermoon and abroad is also encouraged for guild-members and those not involved with the guild who simply seek a phase with a story that evolves around them as their own RP is pursued.

    -No Alliance allowed unless a collaboration has been planned or justified by phase events. This could include but isn’t limited to crossing lines of fire in a mutual conflict or actual conflict with Alliance forces.

    -No powergaming, godmodding, metagaming. Zero tolerance. Bannable offense.
    -Do not emote for guards or official NPCs unless you’ve been cleared as a DM.

    -Dragons, Demon Hunters, and anything that would put the fear of God into common folk need to have good reason for existing within the phase’s setting. If the RP of any character falling into the category of excessive fantasy is found jarring or disruptive, it will be resolved and dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

    -Antagonistic characters and factions are welcomed and encouraged with the caveat and reminder that the overall purpose of the phase and the Bloodwatch is to overcome the threats they face while still under the shadow of a true challenge for survival.

    -Do Not Bully.
