[A-RP] The Chapter of Light

[Bahelda-argent-dawn]

“Respect. Tenacity. Compassion. Remember th’ virtues and keep 'em well!”

Who are we?

The Chapter of Light is a holy order comprised mainly of Priests and Paladins, dedicated to serving the citizens of the Alliance through the powers bestowed upon them by the Holy Light. Though they are normally based within the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City, they go wherever the Light calls them, be that near or far.

As a order under the authority of the Church of the Holy Light, they are unified by their devotion to the Three Virtues - Respect, Tenacity and Compassion. Overall, their views and practices could be considered ‘orthodox’ in terms of practicing the Light. Their members might be members or ex-members of other similarly aligned factions - such as the Argent Dawn, the Argent Crusade and the Knights of the Silver Hand. Their connection to the Church make them a pro-Alliance group, only tolerant of the Horde due to the armistice following the Fourth War.

The Chapter Mistress and most of her founding members are ex-members of The Cathedral Chapter, led by Justicar Vincent Haringoth. The Chapter of Light could be considered a spiritual successor to it, especially in terms of ethos and concept.

What do we do?

Day-to-day, we engage in casual RP in Stormwind, providing mending and healing services, spiritual advice and guidance as well as representing the Church in dialogue and meetings. In addition, we plan and prepare events in order to raise money for our charitable works and also follow lines of intrigue in our own plots to further our characters’ storylines.

We preside over Knighting Ceremonies, Weddings, Funerals, Blessings and well, anything you can think of. In the near future, we also hope to begin hosting sermons and confession services - so look out for that!

Overall - we’re here to facilitate RP for the holy and unholy alike and contribute to Light RP and Stormwind RP in a positive way.

What has the Chapter been up to?

After developing relations amongst the orders of The Stromgarde Accord during the Grand Tournament in August, the Chapter were called to arms in September, following worrying reports of Scourge forces in the area. Upon arrival, it became obvious things were dire.

The farms of Arathi were growing plagued grain, turning the innocent villagers into the mindless undead! Even worse, was that the plague was a different strain, slightly more resistant to cleansing and purges. As the situation developed, the Chapter assisted with the healing and mending of the combatants, as well as offering their own blades and spells against the Scourge itself.

Still, the Light was with the Chapter and the whole of Stromgarde as they pushed back against the Deathmarch! After scouting out a high-priority target, the defenders of Stromgarde headed deep into enemy territory. Defying all odds, they managed to destroy the Lich and bring peace to Arathi - for now…

With their duties in Stormwind calling them, the Chapter departed Stromgarde, thankful for the Light for protecting them and allowing them to help the kind people of Arathi.

After departing Stromgarde, the Chapter travelled upwards to Light’s Hope Chapel, where some Chapter Friends were inducted into the Chapter proper and those of notable service during the campaign were promoted.

The day after, the Chapter attended the 72nd Call of the Silver Hand, a gathering of Knights of the Silver Hand. Many Holy orders were in attendance to observe and network - it was a lot of fun!

Now

The Chapter have returned to Stormwind after almost a month’s absence. As they ease themselves back into City life, on an OOC level, we’re planning campaigns and events. It’s a perfect time for people to join, or even just to RP alongside us and see what we’re about!

Thank you for reading! <3
