The Undercity has been razed. The Arathi Highlands have erupted in bloodshed once more. The Plaguelands too now find themselves under threat from the encroaching tide of Alliance from the south. Soon, the borders of Quel’thalas too shall be ignited with conflict. Here we stand on a dying world, fighting for the blood and ashes that remain. This menace from the southlands is hell-bent on our extermination, this we have seen time and time again. Peace cannot be a viable solution while Alliance aggression continues. We saw this in Stormheim with the destruction of the Forsaken fleet. The only hope for the Sin’dorei is to take up arms and defend our borders and our allies. Blood will be spilled in the name of the High Home for the greater glory and the continued survival of our people. All able-bodied Sin’dorei are to report to arming locations throughout Quel’thalas. Those with talents in the arena of Magic or the Light shall be inducted into the relevant orders pertaining to those fields. We follow the Regent Lord. Revenge shall be had for Dalaran.
Blood for the Fallen
Knight-Lord Baer’athal Bloodwrath
Here we are back for round two due to Blizzards lovely new Forum timer!
The Phoenix Dawn stands as a protective bulwark with the intention of safeguarding and defending the High Home. We work primarily within the borders of the High Home but we also venture out into the wider world to secure assets and locations for the interest and security of Quel’thalas. However, the onslaught of the Legion has taken a heavy toll on Horde military forces and the Phoenix Dawn are no exception. The unit sustained many losses during the fight against the Burning Legion and are now searching to bolster their ranks.
Our goal is to safeguard Quel’thalas, to secure what assets we can for the betterment of Sin’dorei society and its people, to secure a future for our kin in this world. Our allies have been stricken by encroaching Alliance forces. This threat to our allies in the Horde is a growing threat to peace in Quel’thalas. One that must be extinguished.
Not only do we stand as a simple extention of the military of the Sin’dorei but we operate as a training platform for those whom wish to pursue a career in the military. We currently cater for the training and growth of young Magi, Farstriders and aspirational Blood Knights. Those within the Phoenix Dawn will be expected to provide a Hawkstrider or Thalassian Warhorse for their own personal use as the unit, moving forward is aiming to be more mobile with the use of mounted troops. Those interested need only to heed the call and contact an official within the Phoenix Dawn.
IC Code of Conduct
We exist solely to embody the might of the High Kingdom, to preserve its borders and to ensure the continued legacy of the Sin’dorei through the stalwart support of our military allies.
In order to achieve this in a military environment, within the Phoenix Dawn, all members are expected to act within the Code of Conduct, even when not donning the sigil.
The Laws of Quel’thalas; the high kingdom must be respected, regardless of location;
Any member found to be breaking the basic civil law of the Sin’dorei will be handed to the relevant authorities; this includes but is not limited to: Thievery, assault, breaching the peace without due cause.
Moral code;
Those within have the right of free speech, if they disagree with the choices made by any of the members, including the Commander, they can have their concerns addressed at an appropriate moment by their seniors and the Commander without fear of repercussion.
However, disrupting or intentionally damaging the Phoenix Dawn forces, goods or morale at any time will result in punishment. Such includes ; yelling about a choice made instead of taking the actions listed, insulting others to an abusive standard, stealing from the guild e.t.c.
No member is expected to do anything that goes against their beliefs, or morals, if an expedition, mission, order or action should ask such of the member, they must immediately let one of their seniors (Or the Commander) know, immediately.
(This does not include; I will not do it because, I do not want to break a nail.)
Obedience and Loyalty ;
Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much; The Phoenix Dawn is only as strong as those within, and those within take strength from each other.
Respect and trust are important to us, A member failing to enact an order given by a Senior or the guild master without prior knowledge or good reason, will be punished.
Disrespecting the guild or the members in word or action within public, will result in punishment, and potential dismissal.
Anyone of the guild, if found to be collaborating, attempting a revolt against the High Kingdom, Horde, the guild itself, or working in tandem with an enemy of all three will be reported and handed over to the correct authorities, as well as potential dismissal, without prior notice.
No trade deal for the guild should be struck with a Goblin working for a cartel or trade company without prior knowledge from the Guild master.
All members of the guild are subject to basic health checks, both physical and mental. Not attending these when requested will result in consequential punishments.
Notifications;
Should an one of the members of the Phoenix Dawn fall pregnant during their membership with the guild, they must immediately let a Senior or the Guild master know and abstain from any expeditions through dangerous territory. They will instead (if they wish to continue work) take up a post within the guild community where research, service or household work is more common. (such as tending the bar, or sweeping the hall)
If another is found breaking the code, a member should report it to a Senior or to the Commander. If the one breaking the code is of this rank, reporting to a separate Specialist or the Guild leader is of high import.
Should concern be arisen for your own, or another of the guilds physical or mental well being, report to a Medic. They will notify the correct people should they believe you/the other to be unfit for service at that moment in time.
Uniform;
The Phoenix Dawn adheres to a code of appearance as befitting Thalassian military doctrine. That said during all outings for the guild the guild tabard must be worn. Other guild insignia are optional.
Equipment;
Tabards are absolutely mandatory when on deployment, the rest of the guild regalia is optional (Including cloak, insignia and brooch). If Any of these fall into disrepair send it to the Silvermoon Barracks for repair, under the Phoenix Dawn ‘tab’.
The Phoenix Dawn rings must only be worn by those of the guild, should you break the oath, give it to one not of the company, or leave the guild entirely, the ring will become disenchanted. If you have managed to disenchant it by accident report to a superior.
Should you require reasonable supplies for a contract, see the guild master for aid in acquiring or finding such items. Unless a quartermaster is appointed in which case all requests for goods go through them.
All members of the Phoenix Dawn are to ensure that they have access to a Hawkstrider or Warhorse and to ensure its care and safety while in their hands. Abuse of such animals will result in demotion or another fitting punishment depending on severity.
Tyrannical behaviour;
If any member within the guild is found to be abusing their authority and power will be subject to demotion or dismissal depending on the severity at the Commanders’ discretion.
Auxiliary code;
Thalassian military regiments and doctrine are in place at all times when deployed.

Knight-Lord Baer’athal Bloodwrath
OOC Information:
The Phoenix Dawn are a Thalassian military RP guild. We formed in order to be a supplementing force to the Horde War Effort and to provide a friendly environment for military RP. Our main focus in primarily upon serving Quel’thalas and defending its borders and to serve as its fist abroad, to show that the reach of Quel’thalas and her armies can reach across continents.
As it currently stands we have four primary divisions within the guild itself, each lead by their own officer. Primarily the guild itself is spearheaded by a frontline core of Blood-Knights, lead by Knight-Lord Bloodwrath, who oversees the guild as a whole. There are facilities in place also for new players who wish to learn how to roleplay a Blood Knight, beginning their training as an initiate with promotions all the way through to Knight-Master. Whatever your preference of character playstyle is, it will be taken into consideration upon joining.
The first division is that of the Front-Line, this is constituted by Blood Knights in the majority at this time but also encompasses any combatants classified as heavy infantry or cavalry. This is the backbone of the Phoenix Dawn, lending their feats of strength in combat towards ensuring the safety of QUel’thalas.
The second division is that of the Spellweavers. This division specialises in the magical defence and offense of the guild when deployed in the field, but not only that, it also heavily functions as the research core of the guild when it comes to magical interests.
The third division is that of the Rangers, these are the covert backbone of the guild as they are the ones who are sent out into the field upon deployment to gather information of any troop, enemy or friendly, within the deployed zone. They are also the ones responsible for ranged capabilities as well as covert operations of the guild.
The final division is that of the Clerics, this is the medical facility of the guild, facilitating for RP’ers whom want to take battle-medic roles. This is also the religious core of the guild for those whom would be interested in pursuing religious RP in terms of following the Light and the Shadow, and the study of both of those.
As it stands, in order to join the guild you will have to contact myself in-game and be subjected to an interview. Upon acceptance you will begin a two-week initiate period in the guild where your performance will be examined to see if you are a good-fit for us. If that goes well then after this period you will be promoted to a permanent rank within the guild.
If you are interested in signing up for the guild please contact myself in game or any of our members!
