Silvery moon, washed with blood,
Led astray into the night, armed only with a sword of light,
Broken, then betrayed by one, standing there bestride the sun,
At darkest hour, redemption comes, in knightly lady sworn to blood.
- Prophecy of the naaru A’dal, ruler of Shattrath.
M’uru’s sacrifice was as much of a catalyst for change as his capture was, you could see change happening within the Blood Knight Order almost immediately. Stoney and sour faces soon gave way to more pleasant demeanors. Whether this was a result of simply letting go of the bitter nature that had driven the blood knights prior to this or the more harmonious nature they began to undertake with the Light… I can only speculate. Seeing as they became so tight-lipped after the Sun-King’s transgressions in Silvermoon.

Hello! After a very long state of dormancy due to work and the fact that BFA was about as fun as pulling nails, we’re back!
Who are we?
Bladewing, as a guild, is purely made up out of Blood Knights; blood elven paladins sworn to Lady Liadrin and Silvermoon.
However in terms of the guild Bladewing is a mutual agreement between fellow knights to pursue and chase whatever ambitions and goals they can come up with. This “circle” of comrades can end up pursuing whatever ambitions they can come up with, whether it’s helping recover lost relics for their own direct benefit to helping the Horde (and more importantly Silvermoon) with whatever foe they are currently brawling with. You’ll likely find us knee-deep in mischief.
Think of us as a mongrel mix of arthurian themes, patriotic elves, faith and glory-hunters. It will all make (hopefully) for an interesting and, sometimes, self-conflicting mess.
How do I join?
You should contact myself - or well - any member of the guild and they should direct you to me. From there, we will set something up on getting your character to join our insular band of marauding knights!
If you can’t get a hold of me in game then try poking me on Discord: Insipid#1765
Joining Criteria
Your character has to be an actual Blood Knight, and that means they have undergone their “second trial” and become an “adept” within the order. Once you’ve joined the guild, your character will be an “aspirant” until enough characters within the guild are accepting of them. Once enough of the characters ‘vouch’ for them, they are officially welcomed into our little brotherhood!
But Aerilen, I roleplay an initiate or another class! Can I still join?
We have, historically, dragged other classes around with us on our antics. We are quite careful with the spirit and idea of the guild we have. So initiated and other classes will be taken in rarely, on a case by case basis. We don’t really want to become Bladewing, the mage conclave or Bladewing, the training camp.
Looking forward to the next time we cross blades!
