A Gilnean Military Roleplaying Guild
Introductions
Salutations! The Northgate Rangers is a newly established roleplaying guild set in the harsh, rainswept and freshly reclaimed Kingdom of Gilneas. We are inviting all interested parties to seek us out should they wish to enlist in the armed forces of Gilneas and participate in a growing community set in an immersive roleplaying experience centered around the lives of a troop of Gilnean soldiers in the aftermath of the reclamation of Gilneas.
The Northgate Rangers is a light infantry unit tasked with protecting the borders of Gilneas, performing reconnaissance missions beyond those borders and conducting precision strikes and clandestine operations against those who would dare to threaten the Kingdom of Gilneas or the Alliance.
To that end, fresh recruits of the 1st Light Company of Foot undergo harsh exercises in the muddy, soaked terrain of northern Gilneas, to hone and sharpen their capabilities in the field. Perhaps more importantly is the focus on teamwork, camaraderie and survivability, where each soldier is tested in foraging, encampment maintenance and hunting.
When recruits undergo their final test to become fully-fledged watchmen of the 1st, they pledge themselves to the Kingdom of Gilneas, its queen and the commander of the Northgate Rangers and take the first path to become true Rangers, where many accolades, trophies and responsibilities await.
The Northgate Rangers are permanently headquartered at Rutsak’s Guard, an abandoned cottage at the south-eastern end of the Northgate Woods. Here they have raised an encampment not far from the gates of the Greymane Wall. It is as simple as showing up in-character if we’re around, or arranging a meeting beforehand (see contacts below!)
We aspire to portray a uniformed element of the Gilneas Military, though detached from the wider structure to perform our charge as the watchmen of the Kingdom’s borders. We strive to keep things grounded in the lore of Gilneas and the fantasy of World of Warcraft, even if we mostly portray relatively low-power characters.
To round off, we’re always looking for other Alliance guilds to interact with, military or otherwise, and Horde guilds to fight! Old grudges die hard and the Northgate Rangers are perfectly suited and encouraged to offer battle in ‘uneventful’ skirmishes and ‘unheard’ engagements!
If your goals align with ours and the Northgate Rangers sounds like a roleplaying guild you’d like to participate in, find us in-game or via Discord by adding JPB101 or nickolai_71. Any member of the guild can point you in the right direction too!
