About the Nightfall Brigade
As the motto says, Nightfall Brigade ranks are comprised by Gilneans, be they afflicted with the worgen curse or not. Rarely, a non-gilnean may be allowed to join the Nightfall Brigade, but that will be decided on a case to case basis, when and if they should come up. Every class is welcome to the Nightfall Brigade, aside from Death Knights (whether a Death Knight IC or not), with certain limitations imposed to Warlocks and Shadow Priests ( they will be informed of those limitations IC during the recruitment process ), as for their own security and that of the rest of the Nightfall.
It must be said that our RP mainly revolves around two things, restricted RP PvP and the restoration of Gilneas. First is done via any number of campaigns that regularly happen on the server or something we plan out our selves with our Horde counterparts. The restoration of Gilneas part is done via a prolonged chain of DM-ed PvE events led by our members and its unknown when and if the thing will ever be done.
Brief History
The Nightfall Brigade was formed in the months that lead to the Legions demise on Argus. With the Horde forces still present and in great numbers in Silverpine and Hillsbrad, the Brigade took refuge in the township of Surwich, in the Blasted lands.
From there, they joined every major campaign that was held by Alliance against the Horde or any other force that threatened the Alliance forces. They took part in the Strahnbad campaign, Stonetalon campaign, Southern Barrens campaign, Northrend campaign, Uldum campaign and many more. Among the latest once are the defense of Ashenvale and Darkshore and the assault on Lordaeron.
With the fall of Undercity and the somewhat lessened Forsaken forces in Hillsbrad and Silverpine, Nightfall Brigade made a daring thrust towards Gilneas, where they now reside, using Keel harbor as their base of operations against the Forsaken in Silverpine and any danger that might befell them in Gilneas.
For almost three years now the guild has existed without a break, and we look forward to many more years and all new members that will join us.
Nightfall Brigade structure
The Brigade is led by the Marshal and the lieutenants of specific units within the Brigade. Every unit within the Brigade has its purpose to fulfill.
Blackguard
Blackguard is comprised of all those that engage the enemy in melee combat, be they a mighty shield wielding warrior or a sneaky rogue. The front line of the Nightfall, they are there to absorb the enemies initial attacks and to force them to a grueling close quarter combat. Employing a variety of combat maneuvers, the Blackguard are the masters of hand to hand combat and they will not hesitate to engage even overwhelming forces in it.
Silverguard
Comprised from a variety of magical schools and sharpshooters, Silverguard excels in long range combat and healing. Silverguard healers excel in close combat healing, their unflinching bravery makes sure that noone is left unattended even in the heat of combat. On the other side of the coin, the spellcasters and sharpshooters of the Silverguard, are masters of long range combat in their own right. From dazzling spells and rains of fire to pinpoint arrow and bullet shots, making the enemy think twice before poking their heads from cover.
Nightfall Brigade does not have a set uniform in any of the units, but a surcoat of the Brigade is mandatory. We also prefer darker themed apparel, whether brown, black, dark blue or a mix of it.
It is expected from ALL soldiers within the Brigade to act cordially towards their fellow soldiers, officers and towards outsiders. While on a battlefield or a training exercise, discipline is to be held in the utmost regard.
Joining the Nightfall Brigade
Those that wish to join us can do so in two ways.

- Approach our recruiters in Stormwind who will then decide if you are a acceptable candidate and you will then be accepted into the Brigade and sent to Keel Harbor. Our recruiters will most likely recruit there every Tuesday.
