The Greenwardens have recently established themselves in Greenwarden’s Grove. After the cataclysmic destruction of their home, many Elves of Teldrassil are lost and homeless. The organization aims to provide the grove the means to reform the settlement into a fully-fledged home for Kaldorei citizens and other comrades of the Alliance. The Elves of the grove revere Rethiel as a natural spirit of the Wetlands. Their belief reaffirmed by Dwarven legends to solidify the Greenwarden as the wild protector of the region. The Greenwardens serve directly under the leadership of Rethiel and Ferilon Leafborn, the head druid of the grove.
However, beside having peaceful intentions for the grove and the Wetlands, the Greenwardens seek nothing with more fervor than the retribution they shall enact upon the cruel Horde civilizations of northern Lordaeron; the remaining Undead for ending the world tree and the Elves of Quel’thalas for closely aiding Sylvanas Windrunner and for letting her inflict the same misery upon elfkind as a previous Undead tyrant has done to their own realm.
A young Elf hailing from a prominent, but long lost aristocratic family of the once great Elven city of Kel’theril leads the unit as a newly unbloodied commissioned lieutenant of the Alliance. A council of promising individuals will be tasked to serve as highly independent officers due to the lieutenant’s severe lack of experience and wisdom.
Daily routines and incidental occurances might involve tending to the grove and providing for the druids and Rethiel himself, welcoming guests and travelers from far and wide and most definitely defending their home against invading aggressors. Skirmishes and large scale mobilization might come at a later date when the wardens have settled and grown in plenty numbers.
Who are the Greenwardens and who can join them?
An Alliance-aligned organization operating out of Greenwarden’s Grove in the Wetlands, but not limited to its immediate surroundings, with a heavy Elven theme, but modernised to lower the threshold for interested non-Elven allies, incorporating civil and military aspects open to all races and classes of the Alliance. Your character would obviously need to logically fit in with the guild. To that end, a thorough in-game process is undergone before joining the guild. You will be tested.
Ranking structure
The ranking structure of the Greenwardens is hierarchical in nature, lending terms of Elven and Alliance military culture, starting with the leader of the organization at the top.
Lieutenant
The commanding officer of the Greenwardens with authority over the military and civilian arms of the grove. Answering directly to Rethiel the Greenwarden and Ferilon Leafborn.Sergeant
The senior, non-commissioned officers of the unit with authority over the entirety of the Greenwardens, below that of the Lieutenant.Corporal
The junior, non-commissioned officers fulfilling the same role as the sergeants in the absence of any higher ranking individuals. Formerly known as Huntresses, these soldiers have proven themselves to be among the elite of the Greenwardens.Sentinel
A collective term for scouts, footmen and casters, the sentinels form the fighting force of the Greenwardens, tasked with keeping the grove safe from hostile outsiders and to strike out at any with ill will towards them and their allies.Recruit
A new addition to the military arm of the Greenwardens who must prove his/her worth.Civilian
Any and all individuals of the Greenwardens not fulfilling a military role. Traders, craftsmen and others necessary to keep the grove lively and the military arm well supplied and cared for.OOC
Self-explanatory (stands for “out of character”).
Furthermore, I won’t bother stating any rules and whatnots. Members are expected to behave as any decent human being should. That’s not to say that you should be flawless. No racism or discrimination. No ERP. The guild should be a safe place for good times to be had.
More information will be added as the guild progresses along its natural course.
