[H-RP] Orcs of the Red Blade – Now Old Enough to Drive and Vote!

Yup, thanks for the kind comments! :heart:

The next Vrull’Morah is a few days away, it’s our monthly duelling event to practice our skills in combat via pvp and roleplay interactions.

We’re also in Outland with Nar’thak teaching us the history of the old world ahead of the bi-annual Kosh’harg!

If you want to get away from the ongoing madness of Azeroth for a brief spell then there’s no better time to join us orcs!

:v:

We’ve travelled to Terrokar Forest now and had another great evening, 30+ orcs on for a Tuesday night event, amazing!

If you’ve ever wanted to try orc roleplay this is a great time to start especially with Kosh’harg just around the corner.

Lok’tar Ogar!

Tonight the orcs are moving from the nice forest of Terokkar to the fel infested lands of Shadowmoon valley in search of more of the orcs history. What will they find, and what will they learn?!

Haunting reminder on how the orcs lost their connection to the elements tonight.

We’ll be based in Shadowmoon Village for the next two days before continuing our adventures around Outland!

Still feeling pretty down that I’ll be missing the festival again due to work (three times now!). But on the upside, the guild is thriving!

Cant wait to hear what you’ve all been up to when I get back!

And don’t forget screenshots! :wink:

We take many screenshots I promise!

Return of the Gul'thauk

The Gul’thauk were, in the old Red Blade Tribe, among the most feared and mysterious Orcs the tribe had to offer. With initiation rites unknown to the surrounding world, they were tested and hardened relentlessly, in hopes of creating the most mentally strong and cunning Orcs to ever walk Azeroth. To a degree, it was successful. The ranks of the Gul’thauk were once booming, and they were a formidable force of outcasts, rogues, and outlaws that sought their place elsewhere than the other two paths that the Red Blade had to offer, lead by the Varog’Gor; the most elite bodyguards of the Chieftain himself.

In time however, their numbers dwindled and the Gul’thauk were soon unheard of, except for in those pesky dusty annals that nobody except know-it-all New Bloods read to prove a point to their superiors. The infamous curse of the Varog’Gor seemingly rubbed off on the Gul’thauk and drove them to near extinction; leaving only a select few left to tell their mysterious tale.

For years (give or take), there were no more Varog’Gor or Gul’thauk left. The path was made obsolete, and its followers were left mostly pathless in the newly reformed Red Blade Clan. But with the recent rise in Varog’Gor numbers, from zero to four, the Gul’thauk of old have begun stirring under the surface, and thus the Chieftain and his Elders made the quick decision to reinstate the Path of Cunning, but with slight reformation to avoid another downfall.

The comprehensive new guide to the Path of Cunning:

  • No Warriors
  • No Shaman
  • The Gul’thauk must be dabbling in some form of forbidden or shunned magic
  • The Varog’Gor are no longer Elders of the Path
  • There will be a council of Gul’thauk, consisting of one Nag’Ogar, one Gosh’kar, and a New Blood to ensure the Path of Cunning moves in the right direction
  • No Shaman
  • Training will be done in a free-form manner, there is no list of tasks or training that one must complete; it’s to be done under one’s own supervision
  • The Gul’thauk may break the code. Yep, you read that right! They’re sneaky awful Orcs, why would they need to follow the code?
  • Gul’thauk must have a backstory of betrayal and supernatural occurrences
  • Shaman are not allowed

The selection process is carefully done by the Elders of the Clan, and thus only the strongest and most cunning Orcs will be accepted among the Gul’thauk. Do you think you have what it takes? Fill in this comprehensive, easy to fill in form and send it to one of our Officers on Discord or through the PMs on the forum!

Ish'Magor


Honored brothers and sisters,

A memorable Kosh’harg has concluded the past month, in no small part thanks to each of your very own efforts. I wish to both congratulate as well as thank you all for contributing to a very successful festival all around. May it be a worthy reminder of what the Horde stands for… as well as good practice for future festivals to come. For we can only eclipse it at this rate!

A joyous month has now come to an end, however. Instead, we must look to what lies ahead. With increasing reports of border incursions from the Alliance, it now falls to us to see to the defense of our homelands. We may not have chosen this war, but there is no reversing the sun. Remain ever-vigilant of threats to the safety of our people, both within and outside of our lands. We are, after all, ever-surrounded by a world of enemies. It is times like these during which we temper not only our blades, but our spirits and our resolve as well.

For the Blood of Redblade,
Kozgugore Feraleye


Ish'Magor (April) Events

As the first buds open to bloom and the wild animals begin to emerge from their dens, Ish’Magor, or ‘Echoes of Magor’, is primarily known as the month of the element of the Wilds. In addition to the energies of the Wild flowing most vigorously in this period, it is also a time of wisdom and knowledge for those orcs inclined towards matters of the mind. Many of the clan sages would take this opportunity to venture out on self-imposed pilgrimages in order to pursue new knowledge and insights. In the Red Blade Clan, this makes it the favoured month for those who revere the aspect of Magor.

[Event Chains] Incursions

  • Blademaster Grarshak has received reports of Kaldorei contingents making steady advances in the region of Azshara. He has called upon the clan’s aid to help drive them from Orgrimmar’s front door from the 2nd day of Ish’Magor onward.
  • Karnna Blackfeather has reported bands of raiders and slavers roaming freely into orc territories, threatening the very safety of children and civilians alike. If the Horde is ever to be taken seriously, these manner of threats must be rooted out and wiped from the face of our lands without mercy. We join Blackfeather in rooting out this vermin from the 4th day of Ish’Magor onward.
  • Additional reports indicate the Alliance navy has been growing increasingly bolder near Kalimdor shores. We would do well to remain vigilant not only of our inland borders, but our shores as well.

[Event] Clan Moot
It has been many moons since the last Clan Moot took place, but a recent matter of grave concern to the Mag’har who hailed from their own homelands has recently come to light. Given their past experiences with both orcs and Draenei wielding the Light as a a cruel weapon, concerns have been raised regarding the usage of Light magics within the clan. In order to ensure that the Light’s more grievous abilities are held in check as we do with Fel magics, the Clan Moot shall offer a discussion forum for those who wish to contribute to the discussion, so we may come to a unanimous decision what shall and shall not be tolerated. The Clan Moot shall be held upon the 14th day of Ish’Magor.

[Tournaments] Vrull’Morah and Drinking
The monthly Vrull’Morah returns and shall be held on the 12th day of Ish’Magor! Come pay tribute to Vrull or come and see which team will seize victory this time. Will Team Vrull be able to beat the new champions of Team Magor this time around? Additionally, a new tournament shall be held upon the 25th of Ish’Magor: Krunk’s Tournament of Drinking. Hosted by Kran Twinaxe and Thunk, they shall lead this tournament of strong heads and livers. Who shall have the questionable honour of being the first to seize the title of Liver Splitter?

[Campaign] Watch out where you Steppes
From the 29th of Ish’Magor onward, Drakora Steeltalon offers to escort any of the clan willing to join her on an expedition to the Burning Steppes. The purpose of this expedition shall not only be to gather crucial supplies to the clan and war effort, but also to introduce us to an important lesson of history as we set foot into the memorable plains at the foot of the Blackrock Mountain.


Announcements

[IC] Clan Gathering
As the last Clan Gathering helped prove, we have a great amount of activity taking place in the clan right now, as new orcs flock to our banner to help pursue our never-ending cause! In order to ensure training shall be kept up to date and all orcs are kept in the know, the next Clan Gathering shall already be taking place on the 21st of Ish’Magor.

[OOC] Officer promotions
During our last Clan Gathering, we have at long last had a great amount of officer promotions that were announced in last month’s newsletter! Joining the officer team as of this month are Kai’gron Ripclaw, Kyrazha Throatrender, Razaron Madeye and Vraxxar Wildmark as Varog’Gor, and Kargnar Bloodpaw as Rrosh-tul! Out of these, Razaron, Vraxxar and Kargnar will also be taking up OOC officer responsibilities in addition to their IC responsibilities (in addition to Nar’thak, who has become an exclusively OOC officer for the time being), so don’t hesitate to contact them if you require an officer to look into any OOC matters.

For any additional information on our monthly whereabouts, feel free to visit orcsoftheredblade.com!
