We are the nameless, faceless, sons and daughters of the Alliance. By the Light and by the might of the Alliance, the first strike belongs to us and the last strike is all that our enemies see. We are 7th Legion.
The Sixth Cohort of the Seventh Legion
The Legion was born out of the men and women who accompanied Jaina Proudmoore to Kalimdor following the near-total destruction of Lordaeron by the former Prince Arthas Menethil at the behest of his master, the Lich King.
Lordaeron became a howling wilderness of corpses and demons. Many of the survivors fled south, but others went west with Lady Proudmoore and her loyal followers from Kul Tiras, as well as others such as the Gilnean Brigade. These disparate Human and Dwarven forces united under Lady Proudmoore and served with distinction on the slopes of Mount Hyjal, taking the first and heaviest brunt of the fighting against the demons and undead forces of Archimonde the Defiler.
With the resumption of contact between Theramore and Stormwind came a new Alliance, as the Dwarves, Gnomes and Humans of the Eastern Kingdoms allied with the mysterious Night Elves and Humans of Theramore. Together, these allies made formal what was already fact, and each supplied women and men to the front line fighting force of their combined armies. The High Elves who had travelled with Jaina to Theramore also contributed more than their share of battle mages to the 7th, giving it unparalleled flexibility as it could draw from each race’s strengths to fill its ranks.
In more recent days the Legion has found itself on the front line of almost every war the Alliance has taken part in, using it’s combined skills to overcome the most daring of obstacles, often serving alone or ahead of other Alliance forces. The Sixth Cohort has fought from the gates of the Undercity to the walls of Orgrimmar, each campaign played out by our ever growing community.
What can you expect from us?
We will offer our members the opportunity to take part in an active military based roleplay guild! Taking a focus on RP-PvP as well as our own PVE campaigns, we shall offer our members the ability to develop and expand their characters as the guild grows. If you specialise in a certain role we will seek to expand on that, for example if someone is amazing at making weapons we will make sure that becomes an important asset for the Legion.
What we’re looking for from our members
We’ll be aiming to recruit members who are as excited as we are at playing out a military type system! Be that working together to hold the front line against Horde forces or negotiating with locals to get access to information. We want to cover a whole spectrum of skill sets!
While it is not required for our members to be grizzly old veterans, we do ask that all characters seeking to join the Legion are prepared for transition from civilian to a military life style.
Ranking within the Legion
Commander: The highest rank within our cohort of the Legion, currently held by a Quel’dorei by the name of Theon Morningstar. The Commander is in charge of the overall organisation and leadership of the cohort.
Lieutenant: The second in command of the cohort, the Lieutenant is capable of organizing and managing the legion in the stead of the captain! He/she will assist in the preparation of plans and political meetings.
Sergeant: The key role of the Sergeant is discipline, while the Legion are supposed to be the elite, no force is without need for discipline. The sergeant enforces the will of his superiors and makes sure that rest of the cohort keep the high standards of the legion, anywhere from monitoring the quality of uniforms and drill to dealing with deserters.
Corporal: Working directly under the sergeant, corporals are tasked with assisting the sergeant with enforcing discipline. However they are also some of the most experienced soldiers within the legion, and so can be used as anchors for the rest of the unit to form around!
Champion: A somewhat unique rank, champion is given to one individual at the start of each campaign! The role lasts for the period of the campaign. The champion will step up in any case that Legion is called to single combat, be that an honour duel or to deal with an enemy leader. Mostly however this roll is an honour, and anyone may be selected for it, from legionary to Lieutenant.
Legionary: The most common among the ranks of a cohort the legionary is the bread and butter of the Legion. Be it slinging spells or holding the front line, legionnaires are diverse and capable. To obtain the rank of legionary is to be a full fledged member of the legion, a member of the family.
Aspirant: Everyone has to start somewhere, be it transferring to legion or joining as a fresh recruit everyone will start life as an aspirant. They’ll be under the scrutiny of the sergeant, having to prove to him that they’re both mentally and physically fit enough to join the Legion. Once they have proved themselves they will swear their oath to the Legion and to the Alliance.
What does being “Elite” mean?
The 7th Legion without a doubt is an elite force, and that means that they are picked for the most dangerous missions and secret operations. However it is important to remember that you are still roleplaying a mortal, your character will grow tired, homesick, wounded perhaps even lose the will to fight. The type of ‘elite’ we’re looking for isn’t always going to be the best fighters, it’s the correct mindset that is important to us, so if you’re looking for a place to roleplay a god among men I suggest you look elsewhere. We’re here for the gritty down to earth RP!
