[N/RP] ⚔ Sellsword RP - <Gilded Daggers> “Coin, Freedom and a touch of violence”

Founded from the gift of a Silvered ring, the Gilded Daggers is a sellsword company with one key mantra: “Freedom and Coin”.

Key IC Tenants :scroll::

  • We don’t tread on the toes of the Horde or the Alliance; No powerful enemies here!
  • When a member has proven themself, they’re given a gilded dagger of their own. This lets them vote on numerous things in the company, chief amongst them being a vote on what contracts the company takes.
  • Our headquarters are wherever we pitch tents, normally on the edges of cities but sometimes in the wilds.
  • Membership is open to most races, except for the dead and demons. If you can hold a sword, shoot a bow, or fling a spell, we probably have a use for you!
  • You don’t need to strictly be a character that does combat, but it’s probably going to help if you’re open to it, as most events will revolve around it in some shape or form, given the nature of the guild.

Ranking Structure :ladder::

Commander - The commander and founder of the company, Llywelyn Rainsinger

Officer - Directly below the commander and permitted to give orders / set strategy in his absence, the most trusted members of the company. They might also do admin functionality in some regard.

Gilded - Elites, gifted a gilded dagger after a period of good service to the company, these folks have a direct say in the contracts the company pursues, in the form of a vote, equal to the commanders.

Trusted - Another rung on the ladder, these folks are proven as reliable and trustworthy, veterans of the company.

Contracted - After a while, a parchment contract is signed, and the base pay goes up to fifty silver a day. The contract is seen as a sign of loyalty and trust within the company.

Green - Fresh recruits are given this rank, and normally a verbal contract. They get a base pay of thirty silvers a day, a mission stipend, and a share of the loot from missions.

Camp Follower - Somewhat an OOC rank, this is used for alts or inactive people.

What is it we do? :crossed_swords:

We’re a neutral sellsword company, travelling around the world taking contracts that pay well, being careful to not stir ire with the powers that be. We’re not criminals and do not go out of our way to cause trouble in places we visit.

We like to camp too, be it on the edges of a town or in the wild, for the life of a sellsword is a free one! (Although you are welcome to stay in a tavern if that is more your speed.)

Can I dip my toe in without joining you (the guild)? :people_hugging:

We like to take auxiliaries to join us on contracts, either for extra manpower or because we lack a skill in-house. Auxiliaries will be paid a one-time fee, normally half on leaving, half on returning for their efforts; Auxiliaries do not get a base pay or a share of the spoils, however! We’ll communicate ICly / Ingame about the mission, or you can join our Discord server if you prefer to get information and keep up to date. There is no expectation for an auxiliary to join the guild, however.

OOC Stuff! :disguised_face:

  • We use a simple rolling system for events with 10+ people; for smaller events, we will use a system that has more TTRPG elements, but we will never seek to replicate something like DnD.
  • We have a Discord, but joining to be in the guild is not mandatory.
  • We travel around a fair bit, normally to areas of civilization to trawl for contracts.
  • Have a contract for us? Get in touch, we’ll see if we can collaborate.
  • We’re a bit more active in the evening, normally from around 8ST.
  • We have a good mixture of casual RP, one-off events, and more long-term arcs.
  • Contact llywelynn, implotion, or Owlwyn to discuss joining / collabing, etc.
  • No uniforms
  • Firmly rooted in “WoW fantasy", although we do prefer less OP characters.

I’ve worked with them before, they’re cool people… The Elf guy can be really funny at times. I would recommend if you like good and funny RP sessions.

Not a bad group of folks.

I hope the elf finds true love one day.

The Daggers gathered around the Recluse to vote on their next contract, three choices:

  1. Satyr’s in Felwood

  2. A forgotten camp in Dragonblight

  3. A Goblin pleasure barge with some goods in need of liberating

After discussion and debate, they decided it would be best to tackle the Satyr’s first, then skip down the Barge, as such a mission would require more subterfuge.

Dagger holders cast the votes, and it was sealed: Felwood would be the site of their next contracted. They would spend the next few days preparing for the mission, recruiting auxiliaries to fill in skill gaps, gathering supplies and most importantly, making merry, as Demons aren’t known for their welcoming nature.

((if you would like to join us on this mission as an auxiliary, please whisper me in game, and we can sort something out! horde OR alliance, of course.))
