Who are the Ashen?
The Ashen is a group that’s been around on and off since Legion [2017].
Throughout our journey we’ve encountered many different types of enemies be it from the Alliance, Cultists, Demons and even the Scourge to magical beasts we managed to conquer throughout our many journeys and win many battles whilst also facing gruelling losses over the years.
We also, explored the vast new lands such as the Broken Isles, Zuldazar and the forgotten kingdom of Kul’Tiras in efforts for the 4th and continue on to this day finding new lands, areas and enemies to clash against!
The Ashen’s rules, settings and core fundamentals are that it has always and always will be a form of Warband that rely solely on their bonds forged from battle and losses alike.
Which means it is the characters that drive the Ashen’s story forwards rather than the concept.
Eventing within the Ashen!
The Events within the Ashen are always action-packed and lean heavily in favor of player choices in what you do. How your character reacts be it 1 against the 10 other people there can and could be consequences dependant on how you treat the battlefield you find yourself amongst.
Tread carefully, friend for you never know what could be in that tower, cart or around that corner.
We also have our own system which is very welcoming to newer RP’ers and veterans alike offering a usual D100 (/roll 1-100) system along with some perks and benefits mixed in depending on how your character positions themself in the battle!
The Ashen and You - What we and what you can expect
[Our Side]
What we offer to yourself;
- A vibrant community that is always making a come back and always doing all sorts of stuff together.
- A laidback place just to relax and vibe.
- enjoying your character’s story in the game.
A lot of us have been friends for a multitude of years and others have been in the guild in more recent times and become main stay ons for the group and characters we cannot go without.
We actively partake in a bit of side stuff away from RP if people want.
Things such as M+ and Raids and multiple deaths & wipes with our fellow PuG’s.
Though to make it clear RP is our primary focus and always will be the focus of the guild. Content is just for mucking about!
It’s always a place that can offer great character building and interwoven stories with the chaotic ragtags and stoic warriors alike.
[Your side]
Here at the Ashen we’re looking for people who are just happy to vibe, create stories and have fun.
We’re a group dedicated on keeping things laidback and relaxed but with the action packing a nice punch!
We all have busy lives and things going on that can detract our attention from the game and sometimes we could do with our attention detracted from the real world.
What we look for in our members from an OOC standpoint are people who are looking to be part of the Community and not just a number in the guild. They want to do things proactively and they want to RP but also contribute to it.
We want people who are looking for some good storylines and narrative arcs that involve your character and eventually the progress of them becoming a core part of our merry group.
We don’t want people feeling the burnout and we don’t want the expectation of people to be online all the time and attending things all the time. WoW and RP is a hobby firstly and foremostly and you are not going to be scorned for not being about.
All we ask is a bit of communication about when people are about and wanting to do stuff and to keep the RP focused in the guild.
Recruitment & The Ashen
The Ashen are welcoming of those who walks the path to better themselves and better the HORDE .
Meaning we do NOT exclude MOST Race or Class combination that makes sense in Lore and the WoW universe.
People will be held at certain standards however these can range from complex hero classes and certain races to what your character can offer the Ashen in general.
An example of what we won’t accept; A civillian like character and/or character who cannot Fight / Heal / Assist the cause or is Pacifistic in nature.
An Example of what we would accept; A character who is eager to learn how to fight and has some experience in the battlefield that can be built and progressed on.
If you are looking to join the Ashen please contact our following recruitment officers;
- Felentrick (General Felentrick Telazane) – (Discord; Scuffather0)
- Baohuu (Blood Guard Baohu)
- Zéir (Sergeant Zeir Telazane)
Side note;
We have no interest at all in Neutral Characters that means if your character is neutral between the Horde and Alliance or is played as the same character in both factions it will be grounds for immediate removal as the guild is primarily for HORDE characters and stories.
We will NOT ACCEPT Thalassian Elves in their TRP due to the fact that it shows you are probably more leaning towards the above post of being Neutral Aligned / Alliance aligned. (Especially Quel’dorei who are stated IN LORE to be ALLIANCE ALIGNED )
We also after multiple attempts decided just to not accept the Vulpera race. After many chances of trying with Vulpera in our community it has never worked for a multitude of issues. We’re sorry to the Vulpera community in general but, this is just a decision on our behalf. Thank you.
