Welcome to Light’s Hope Hub, where we’re putting a little life back into the Eastern Plaguelands, one swing at a time! We’ve been growing this community steadily for about a month now, and we’re excited to open our doors to more adventurers who are ready to join the fight!
At Light’s Hope, you’ll find a mix of casual and immersive roleplay. Most evenings are spent gathered around the campfire to share stories, plan our next moves, and strengthen bonds of camaraderie. Beyond that there’s plenty of action to be had. Patrols through the Plaguelands keep the undead in check, while mini-events focus on defending against raids, hunting for supplies, or the maintenance of Argent Outposts found scattered in the Plaguelands. It’s about the small tasks with big impacts, blending low-stakes fun with heroic moments. Naturally, as of the moment, the idea is to keep the focus primarily on Light’s Hope.
The Theme
If you find yourself looking for inspiration for your character or a new one, Light’s Hope is filled with iconic NPCs like Korfax and Tyrosus, whose stories very much line up with the spirit of this place. The RP setting is built around hardline veterans who stand at the forefront of the fight to restore the Plaguelands, where resources are scarce and the enemy is endless. Characters are often part of groups like the Silver Hand, Argent Crusade, Brotherhood of Light, or even independent outsiders, all united against a common threat.
You might’ve guessed, the theme draws heavily from the Ashbringer comic, capturing the dystopian feel of the Plaguelands. Here, the scourge dominates much of the land, and victory feels like an uphill battle. And in the setting and stories, our aim is to capture themes of honour, redemption, sacrifice, tragedy and more. Very Warcrafty.
To maintain this immersive tone, we focus on characters and concepts that fit within the established lore of the Argent Crusade and its affiliates. For this reason, we do not include races like dracthyr or vulpera in the community, as they are not canonically tied to these factions or themes. This is not a reflection on individual creativity but rather a decision to preserve the setting’s integrity and focus on the gritty, Warcraft-inspired themes that resonate with the Plaguelands.
Roleplay?
For those joining the community, expect a variety of engaging RP moments. Patrols explore nostalgic zones like Darrowshire, Faol’s Chapel, and Terrordale, while immersive campfire evenings foster storytelling and a sense of connection. Vigils, sermons, and holy rites bring a spiritual element to the community, led by local priests. Resource-gathering missions focus on turning water into holy water, collecting reagents. For aspiring paladins, mentorship is offered by experienced members of the Silver Hand.
Events are kept concise and meaningful, using D20 systems, the main plot is setting mini stories where the outcomes matter, which will generate into further hooks or narrative. For example, a recent threat of overly aggressive plaguebats, underestimated by the residents of Light’s Hope, led to heavy casualties during for an Argent Convoy. Every decision and action contributes to the larger narrative, and players are encouraged to bring their own story hooks and ideas to the table.
OOC
Both in-character and out-of-character, the community values collaboration and democracy. In-character votes might decide the next daring venture, like pursuing a lich deep in the Plaguelands, while out-of-character decisions shape the future direction of the community. In short, everyone has a voice, and it’s really un-guild focused.
We keep things simple: be respectful and mindful of others. This is a collaborative space for everyone to enjoy, and we strive to maintain a welcoming atmosphere.
If you’re ready to immerse yourself in a nostalgic Warcraft setting, connect with like-minded roleplayers, and take part in meaningful storytelling, we’d love to have you join us. Make sure to give a brief introduction to your character in the Welcome room aswell! Hope to see you in the Plaguelands o/
The Golden Rules
Play Nice with Events and Hosts: Someone’s pouring their heart into running an event? Give ’em the respect they deserve. We’re all here to tell stories, not trample on someone else’s stage.
Act Like a Grown-Up: This ain’t daycare. Keep it mature, keep it cool. Leave the tantrums at the door.
No Drama Llamas: Got a fiery opinion? That’s great—but don’t use it to roast the whole community. Disagree? Fine. But respect that others might see things differently. Passion’s great, but remember: this is a melting pot of people from all walks of life. Be mindful, be kind, and appreciate the diversity.
Zip the Gossip: Trash-talking other players or guilds (even a little) is a no-go. People have different experiences, and bad vibes like that only ruin the fun.
Guilds Aren’t Kings: Guilds are cool but they don’t make you the boss. Here, Lord Maxwell Tyrosus runs the show. Your character’s choices, not your guild tag, define your influence. In-Character in Light’s Hope there are no “Councils”, Accords or pre-established Structural Hierarchies running the show either! The only time a temporary council would be created would be in the scope of something like a zone-campaign.
Problem? See a Mod! If something’s bugging you don’t let it fester. Chat with a moderator, and let’s fix it fast and fair.
