In a world of oaths, duties and honor, few wish to dwell on the mire of war.
It is easier to bury the horror and brutality of conflict along those who perished with it.
Names, memories, places, each discomfort drowned with distraction and justifications.
Guilts and associations, excused and shifted to keep the conscious clean, honor intact.
Yet some choose to wear their indifference openly, without shame, all for personal gain.
"Yours to give; the wealth. Ours to carry; the depravity. Blood for the Banner, all for the Freeguard. "
Basic Information
- Who are we?
The Freeguard, formerly sworn Bannermen of the Bronzemark that broke away due to the sudden passing of their liege-lord while refusing to uphold their oath to the man’s successor out of perceived weakness and lack of respect to carry the oath through.
Now little more than a band of oath-breakers and turncoats, turning to the only logical solution for the armed and disgraced, that of selling their blades to whatever patron that’ll hire them, for even the downtrodden must eat once every now and then.
- What do we do?
Essentially, the Freeguard is a sell-sword company focused on taking the grimy and terrible jobs no self-respecting mercenary or romanticized hedge-knight would ever touch. With no sense of morals or personal convictions, whether hired by the Horde, Alliance or third parties, vandalizing orphanages or committing heinous crimes for blood-money to buy a loaf of bread, the Freeguard will take it. Beggars can’t be choosers after all, and a shady man in an alleyway just offered enough coin to afford stew with actual potato starch as a thickener rather than sawdust. Does it matter if they had to throw an old lady down the well for it? The Freeguard doesn’t think so, at least.
- Main RP hub/Core RP scenes?
Primarily the Freeguard is linked and tied to the lands of the (mostly) ruined northern kingdoms, which are the main areas the guild stays, we are not permanently stationed or bound there. If a contract or other engagements calls for the Freeguard to enjoy a lengthy, humid stay in the jungles of Stranglethorn, a dusty venture to Kalimdor, or hunting a rare type of walrus into extinction in Northrend for a rich collector, the Freeguard will go there.
Beyond that, the guild seeks to also mingle in popular RP hubs whenever possible as to socialize, make contacts and engage in social RP as living in a dank cave in Lordaeron may be enjoyable, until the fungal infection sets in at least.
- In-Character Identity?
While being the sell-sword company that threw Ol’ Granny Dorothe down a well because she refused to sell her orphanage for debased silver coins to some lurking noble in Stormwind, or burning down the grain storage in a village right before winter as the peasants had the audacity to demand their fair share of the harvest from their Liege-Lord, may be a good conversation starter at the local tavern, the Freeguard holds certain internal traditions, customs and ‘rituals’ tied to their cause and their glorified banner.
It is not demanded nor expected that every person in the cause care for, or engage in these practices, although they are still vital to the inner-circles and the ‘culture’ of the Freeguard, separating themselves from common brigands and cutthroats. Or at least so the Lieutenants claim when accusations starts flying.
