“Reclaiming Kalimdor. Protecting our people. Restoring The Balance. Bringing Vengeance for our fallen. These key duties for me have never changed, but they are needed to be upheld more than ever. Those brave warriors who fell trying to defend our lands in the absence of our army must be avenged. They watch down upon us from Mother Moon radiance in the skies, we must show them that their sacrifice was not for nothing. The Horde spits on peace and once again slaughter our people and defile our forests as they have always done. Enough is enough. The Kaldorei will have justice. The Night Warriors Vengeance will not cease until the red flag has been completely obliterated. The boy-king across the seas has decided that his Human kingdoms are more important than the people who have served The Alliance with nothing but loyalty…it matters not, we will have Vengeance with or without The Alliance. Those who threaten our people will be made to suffer and we will rebuild stronger than ever before. Andu-falah-dor! Vengeance will be ours.”—Anaelisa Winterblossom
This is Moonlight Embrace. This is a guild primarily focused on how the events from Legion into Battle for Azeroth reflect on the society of Night Elves and how these otherwise tremendously long-lived people respond to near-genocide. Our guild is structured in such a way that we are open to all aspects of Night Elf roleplay from the vengeful Army of the Black Moon to Demon Hunters bereft of purpose in a world that has largely moved on to Druids who wish to restore The Balance. One thing we all have in common is vengeance. We integrate these many different characters in a guild that is neither a military order or a leader but more of a societal and political affiliation. Our roleplay is character-driven and that is ingrained in how the guild practically functions. In addition, the view we hold on Worgen characters is that they are children of Goldrinn whereas Night Elves are children of Elune, and as a result, viewed as blessed creatures. With the Worgen aided in Darkshore our ongoing alliance remains and our similar goals for vengeance against the Banshee and her foul Horde. We recruit both Night Elves and Worgen
Since we are such a diverse lot our guild is split into several distinct branches, those being the Sentinels, the Watchers, the Druids, the Loreweavers, the Priesthood and the Demon Hunters. Each section holds its own representative on the council, and they each fulfil a distinct role and purpose within Moonlight as a whole. Each branch has a tendency of focusing upon different types of Roleplay that is appropriate to their central fantasy and so our events tend to vary quite a bit depending on who is hosting.
The Sentinels
The Sentinels of Moonlight Embrace have a single purpose; guarding and overseeing the protection of the civilians, as well as everyone else affiliated with the Embrace. They work, train and function together as a single unit, which can and most often will be embarked upon missions of the other wings of the Embrace. Heavily based on Military RP, the events/missions usually consist of hunting & catching stray Horde forces, assaulting messengers, protecting outposts as well as safeguarding the missions of other wings and units. Rhodina Galestorm currently leads The Sentinels.
The Watchers
Whether it aiding Moonlight Embrace with scouting, assassinating or jailing their prey. The Watchers make sure they bring the iron hand of justice to those who deserve The Night Warriors vengeance. As devoted protectors of their people and committed upholders of the law, these feared predators of the night capture or execute the most elite criminals that threaten The Kaldorei, making sure that justice is served and the guilty suffer.
As a Watcher, you will be the judge, jury and executioner of those who fight against life and seek to harm your people. Through a combination of expert tracking, an exceptional mastery of martial arts, stealth, a swift grasp of quicking entering and exiting combat and vindictive unforgiving shadow magic your enemies will fear you as you bring justice to them in the name of Mother Moon and The Kaldorei. Andu-falah-dor, may justice be done! Anaelisa Winterblossom currently leads The Watchers
The Priesthood
Moonlight’s Embrace’s spiritual and warpath find their foundation in the duality of Elune as both Mother Moon and Night Warrior. In these troubled times of war and distress, each member of the Priesthood of the Following is called to bring the comfort of the presence of Elune to The Night Elves and Worgen who fight the enemies of the Kaldorei on their land and abroad bolstering their strength and morale as well as bringing the Following closer to Elune’s word and Kaldorei traditions. Priestesses and Priests are called to help whoever is in need by offering their knowledge and encouragement with sermons and words of wisdom, by being present in the daily life of the community with their faith, by bringing solace and healing with their prayers and mending skills. Also, they are called to uphold the culture of the Kaldorei, helping their society survive and possibly thrive in spite of the huge loss of lives of the recent period. Cinelyn Rosesky leads the Priesthood
The Loreweavers
It is certainly unorthodox for there to be a dedicated group of arcanists in a Kaldorei following, but the Loreweavers fulfill a necessary role within Moonlight, as the guild frequently comes across items of magic both fair and foul in their various adventures and missions as well lost pieces of lore and knowledge that must be safeguarded. It is the solemn duty of these men and women, Elves and Worgen alike to catalogue and store these objects away in their personal vault for redistribution among deserving warriors of Kalimdor. Although occasionally objects are found that are too dangerous and vile to be repurposed for the benefit of Moonlight and such items are locked away in the Vault and studied for insight into the enemies plans. In addition to these important duties, the Loreweavers are trained in arcane magic and lend its considerable power to the Moonlight Embraces noble cause. Lymeldra Dawnseeker currently leads The Loreweavers
The Druids
Moonlight Embrace’s druidic circle consists of all of the Kaldorei’s built up culture from aeons past to the present Worgen additions, the Druids mainly serve a utility role within the Kaldorei culture and that reflects within the Moonlight Embrace quite heavily as the druids can fill many roles that may be needed.
No matter which druid that ends up within Moonlight Embrace their duties are very clear and stay close to what they were before joining, preserving the balance and protecting the Kaldorei people are both prime goals of the druids within Moonlight Embrace in terms of cultural duties. Our duty is to restore and uphold The Balance whether that be healing corruption from the land, tending to the ecosystems or removing the foul parasitic Horde from our sacred forests.
Within the combative field, utility is our role, every druid capable of bringing a very wide set of skills to each given scenario, making every encounter with a druid unpredictable. Protection, ruthless unforgiven savagery and restoration of health for both members of Moonlight Embrace and the surrounding wilds are amongst the many skills we bring to Moonlight Embrace.
We are the balance The Horde breaks themselves on, nature endures and so shall we.
The Demon Hunters
These powerful beings are no strangers to vengeance. With tremendous commitment, resolve and sacrifice The Demon Hunters greatly aided the protection of Azeroth from the destructive forces of The Burning Legion.
Their duty, however, is not over. They did not save their people from destruction of The Burning Legion only to have them slaughtered by The Horde. Once more The Demon Hunters are needed to protect both the land and their people from destruction. Whether it be using their sight to uncover hidden enemies, using their mastery of chaos magic to bring destruction to our strongest foes, defeating their own brethren who stand alongside The Horde or granting their knowledge on corruptive magical artefacts that may be used against us or that we may find, The Demon Hunters are once more called upon to save the world. This time from the forces of death that came for The Kaldorei.
