Send a resume by mail, carrier pigeon or any other means to the office of Thiseas Shimmerweave, 1st office - Broken Keel Tavern, Ratchet, Barrens.“There, that ought to do it.” The old shal’dorei murmured under his breath, admiring his handiwork.
It was but one poster among many on the Orgrimmar noticeboard, but he had spent the remainder of his recruitment budget to ensure the message spread as far throughout the Horde as possible.
His office was lackluster, his worksheet far too long, and the League’s budget hardly a tenth of what he had requested - but a smile crept onto his aging features all the same.
He picked up to resume his other duties - for a Director there were many… far too many. “With any luck, Kalimdor will be a closed market within the century.”
------ SUMMARY ------
The Shalassian League is a trade association representing several of Suramar City's minor estates.Directed by a disgraced Nightborne noble who answers only to the estates, they seek one primary goal - wealth for their bottom line, and prestige for the Kingdom of Suramar.
The guild itself is open to all members of the Horde, provided the right context. A Suramar patriot, a mercenary only in it for the money, a merchant on the lookout for new wares - all could find an interesting story development within the League.
We focus on providing an atmosphere that allows for progression and development both for characters but also for up-and-coming roleplayers.
Our themes tend towards the often morally dubious world of commerce, diplomacy and the long struggle towards recognition. You can expect to be invited along for both Horde-centric and Neutral adventures, and being tasked with everything from caravan escorts and finding obscure relics for wealthy collectors to diplomatic missions and subterfuge.
------ BACKGROUND ------
The Shalassian League was founded around the times of the Dragon Isles’ resurfacing, though the timing is largely coincidence.
Thiseas Shimmerweave, once a highly respected nobleman in Suramar for his expertise in the realm of logistics and management, backed the wrong horse during the Nightfallen Rebellion.
By the time the Nightfallen succeeded, he had taken part in too much atrocity to be pardoned, though his noble connections deemed him too useful for execution.
After years of deliberation a compromise was reached - Thiseas would be stripped of his titles and possessions, and effectively made an exile from the city of Suramar. To pay for his crimes toward the Kingdom, he has been tasked with representing and enriching several estates - including his own - in external affairs, until such a time as his debts are repaid.
Now working long nights out of a shabby, small office in Ratchet, the Shalassian League has started down the road of expanding Suramar’s political reach and bringing riches back to her people. Whether it’s Director intends to work off his debt, or build enough power to challenge his debtors, remains to be seen.
