Any Questions PM me.

This is Azeroth and is home to many species. more specifically to you the horde. This campaign is set during the time before the Cataclysm and during the Wrath of the Lich King. Class restriction before cataclysm apply
(Horde)
Through out the horde lands there is a unknown name that whispers across the plains of the Barrens and Mulgore. through the Silverpine Forest and deep across the tundras of the Dragons Blight. Creatures of all shapes and sizes stir, As nature itself seems to quiver. recent rumors flies around that the druids of the Thunder Bluffs had an encounter with what are usually docile creatures. and rumors in Winterspring that the crazed Furbolg tribes are running under a same banner. Thrall busy with politics, is unable to investigate the strange occurances and puts out a call to any horde men or women to investigate. Will it be you?

(Alliance)
The night elves hear the voices of the trees speak whispers of something. Humans have been going missing for the past while and they were not in Northrend. Dwarves feel the ground shake as something stirs the very earth they work and live in. The animals themselves to many hunters are aggitated and the druids in animal forms, their keen senses feel something foul and powerful moving amungst nature itself. hiding and biding its time. Jaina Proudmoore looking into the missing humans from Winterspring but has no time. her current dealings in northrend and the focus on the lich king and his undead army. call has been sent out to those who can investigate this matter.

Parties are prefer but i can take on up to 6 parties of no more then 4-5 members. I prefer people stick in their own factions.
Parties Accepted. 0/6

AZEROTH: Specifics

-Horde & Alliance are at an uneasy peace.
-Northrend as we know it is hard to get to unless you are planning to work for the horde against the lich king.
-The nightmare does not exist. (Or maybe it does? Idk. The druids might.)
More will be added as I think of it.
- Free to travel to Outlands if you can convince the gate Commander.



PLAY GEEKY
This campaign will be slightly similar to traditional D&D. I am not going to play your character. you will. you have to decide where you are going to go. I play EVERYTHING ELSE. which makes me god. so no meta-gaming. I play the non playable characters which is anything outside yours. there is not table top rules. just play your character the way you would if it was you. minus the attitude.


YOU KNOW NOTHING
Anyone on this guild knows and maybe has experienced World Of Warcraft. you know all the places of the game. but in here depending on your character and your bio you know nothing. you are playing fresh like a new player. depending on your characters age you may know more things. Knowledge of what you know will be sent by PM when you complete your character sheet and it is approved. This is not a simple walk in the park. you may know the dungeons and raid..etc etc. but here unless i say so you know nothing. All characters will have basic knowledge of all horde cities and the surround area name. outside of that you will not know much of anything other then news of wars against the lich king or skirmishes against the alliance.



YOU WILL DIE!
Once again, your going to die, UNLESS you play smart. there will be combat in this rp but ill direct how it plays out. to help make the battles go better if you are in a group which is suggest you should be, that organization and perhaps a battle plan should be in order.
Azeroth is a huge world and is very dangerous. there are many dangers and dungeons. do not take anything for granted. the people you keep beside you will keep you alive. and make sure you don't get ganked by some alliance or horde member. any acts of trying to be god yourself will get you killed and kicked out.


PM FROM THE GM
In this game as a GM i could tell you something that the other party might not know or something that would compel you to follow your nature.



WRITE A BACK STORY
I would like to have a decent back story. have some family or lovers or family or something that would be interesting for someone else to read.


COMBAT
Combat will be detailed. some will involve strategy and will be epic. sometimes it maybe a lone animal or part of a regiment of alliance.
More often I will initiate the combat which will give you a chance to say how to subdue or kill your foe.
GM: Two Alliance warriors charge at you and slightly split apart to try to flank.
You: I Shield bash the one on my right knocking him to the ground and do a spin and cut off the warriors head on the left. then point my sword in the knocked down warriors face. (by the way making it cool and epic will award you favor in my eyes.)

The more detail you make and not make it insanely short or stupid such as.
Example 1: I cut them both down.
Example 2: I do a large jump in the air and disappear from there field of view then bring my war hammer down and crush the guys body then launch the other guy into the sun. (though chuck norris-y mild but lame.)

If you make combat where you and your companions work together to defeat enemies and or bosses, which reminds me do not treat a boss like its a regular enemy say what you do for an attack but do not say you kill it. that is left to me to determine. but anyways working together gets you more favor for me. and there is experience points in this based on RP the more you RP and work together the better.

SPPELLING
Your all young adults in the making or are adults. and there is a spell check on most of these browsers. so please use it. im not picky on grammer but spell check is handy.


DON'T MAKE ME SMITE YOU
If someone decides to be a retard, I will ask the moderator of the guild to boot you from this. so play nice and play smart

EXPERIENCE
Role playing your character will help you gain levels and the levels will help. as at certain points you will gain more skills at increase your knowledge. rather then make a system based on combat i make it role playing based. remember this is the unofficial story which is a prelude to Cataclysm.


THE SHORT VERSION OF EVERYTHING:
-I'm god
-You're knowledge is limited to my say so.
-No metagaming
-You are going to DIE! read long part for full story.
-Ill PM as a GM
-Write a backstory.
- RP, RP, RP, RP
-Spell good please
-Not a silly campaign
-No god mode, no power gaming.
-there may be swearing but lets keep it to a minimal unless you have a good reason too.
-Experience is gained by acting as your character would. which goes back to RP.

THIS PART FULLY AVAILABLE TO EDITS AND ADDITIONS.
I will add a note at the top of the thread if I change anything.



CHARACTER CREATION

Don't make a character which you would not treat unless it was yourself.
put anything in brackets.. [] {} () and it will be removed from the profile itself.
You dont have to PM the profile, just post it here. If I have an issue with it I'll PM you about it.

Name: (i will get picky with this. at least have a name that somewhat seems like it would be used by your race.)
Race: (lets stick to main Cannon races. Tauren,Orc,Human,Dwarf etc.. ill allow additional races such as furbolg but they will be restricted like anything else.)
Gender:
Age: (don't need numbers but you can't be 14 and fighting. if your 14 and not afraid of death don't be shocked when you have low stats. but be something real like Adult or Young Adult or middle aged.)
Class: (It can be any Class but i am restricting Death Knights as i never saw how it makes sense that anyone outside of the forsaken would accept them. you can make up a class. if your going off the existing classes it helps to let me know what sort of spec you would focus on. or if your mix let me know such as Protection/ Retribution paladin, cause that way i can know and your team can know how to form combat around you.)
Proffessions: (just list them and i will put them in as skill later. also a good way to role play hint hint)
Height: ( Try to keep it something realistic to the species sizes.)
Weight: (See height)
Body type: (Muscular,Skinny,Fat,Obese,or average)
Special markings/characteristics: (eg: glowing tatoos, piercings,broken horn, missing hand, or scar of somekind.)
Fears/Weakness: (pick a simple fear or a weakness to something. adds character)

Weapons: (keep it basic of any type of weapon but be realistic to the restrictions of your class.)
Back story: (I don't want 10 pages but summerize their life and allow me to work around it for rp purposes)
Pets: (Unless you are a Hunter or a druid, you get a non combative pet. any pets that are combat as a hunter or changing into as a druid will be RP'd by me. so any interaction with your pet will be played by me.)
Notes: (Anything you want anyone else to know about your character.)

ROLEPLAYING
For all purposes once a group of 4-5 have been made ill PM all those players of that group the link to the Forum specific to them as well as the password to get in. you guys get your own password protected RP session. so no newbies trying to come in and ruin your fun. if anyone does get in ill assume someone from the group was handing out the password.

When roleplaying and there is a question or you have something to say out of character please use (( )) to speak. that way you do not ruin the game by random chatter.

BOREDUM
on of the biggest issues is that many people suffer from a dead brain and don't know what to do. this makes them bored and then when they are bored they stop coming. to fix this i allow the professions to be used. Enchanting will be the best and hardest in the Professions as it requires experience to make some of the most better weapons. Jewelcrafting is mainly for decorations unless you are using magically enchanted jewels.
every other profession has a purpose. and keep it realistic. at a lower level you will not create god like weapons. take your time and remember you don't know anything..

PROFESSION USES
Like mentioned before. you just can not make the best weapon of the game cause you say so. I determine the outcome of crafting based on your skill itself.
EG: Orcmar- On our way to Orgimmar from the Barrens, i take a look around me and see if i can spot any materials that i can use for my blacksmithing.
GM- as you traveled along. you spot from the corner of your eye some rocks with a greyish brown matter sticking out of the ground rushing over you examine them and find it is a Tin vein. going through your gear you realized you forgot to bring your pick axe.
Orcmar- ARRRRG! does anyone have anything i can use as a pick axe?
Feldrin- Eugh getting dirty? i think not.
Orcmar- damnable blood elf its just dirt.
Rockhoof- I have one friend. take it if you need it. *hands over the pickaxe to orcmar*
Orcmar- Okay im using Rockhoof's pick axe to get at the tin.
GM- Based on your strength you take 24 mins hacking at the Tin. you manage to get 5 good chunks of Tin rocks that will be good for smelting later.

So anything can happen based on your actions and preperations. Orcmar did not take the time to make sure he had a pickaxe, but lucky for him rockhoof had one. if he had better strength he could have gotten done alot faster but same thing applies to crafting. what you get out of it is what you put into it. a person who puts alot of attention and time into it will have a better chance then someone trying to wing it out of the blue.

So take your time and prep. preperation in your professions will get you where you need to go. and roleplaying it out will get you more experience.
