[This forbidden letter is destined for Dread-Captain Baron M. Blightreek, Commander of the Grim Gest.]
Our Dark Lady had to leave us behind, for she is exploring all known and unkown possibilities to defeat the Alliance once and for all.
In her great foresight Our Dark Lady has accounted for this turn of events. All loyal to her are to fall in line and officially act under the new order that will spread from Orgrimmar now. But it is everyone’s duty to carry out the following acts under the code of Operation Gargoyle in secrecy and with utmost organisation:
Assassinate and terrorize the false regime and its leaders and those that collaborate.
Sabotage all efforts that aid the Alliance in any way.
Propagate the Dark Lady’s supremacy.
Aid any cause that furthers Operation Gargoyle, create a network of loyalists.
I vow by Great Lordaeron, by all that is true, above all by the Dark Lady
to serve this great cause in unconditional obedience and bravery
and to be ready at all times, to give my life for this oath.
Victory for Sylvanas!

You have of course heard about the Grim Gest already – the infamous evil-doers, the legendary and ever-victorious unit under the iron fist of The Winged Helmet. Described as “the slimy military” (famous Forsaken High Executor, year 32), the Grim Gest goes the extra mile: It arrests and liquidates the dissenter, patrols the borders of Lordaeron on the other side of the world, requests and breaks the truce in the same breath.
The guild is founded on the cooperation the Forsaken and blood elves display in Tranquillien and the Ghostlands in general. Due to their affiliation with the undead, the Grimtotem tauren are a welcome, albeit rare addition to the Gest. Role play revolves around martial and esoteric themes, H.P. Lovecraft’s writings are a shared inspiration by the members of the good old Gest.
IC recruitment can be handled in three different ways:
Dungeon draft: Cast away into the prison dungeons to rot for crimes committed, penal servitude in the Grim Gest brings salvation.
Individual contract: A walk-up right to strike a deal with the devil.
Military redeployment: Careers begin and end in the Grim Gest, guardsmen and elites, all must serve.
To be considered for membership on an OOC level you have to share the guild’s approach to role play and your first character has to be at the level cap or very close to it already.
The Grim Gest is also active on Alliance!
The Grim Gest is one of the initiators of the ongoing necropolis role play scenario for Void and/ or formerly Sylvanas aligned characters.
Furthermore, I (Morsteth) am a founding father of the biggest (over 300 players) and the best RP community on this server. I wholeheartedly endorse the PCU, if the Grim Gest does not fit your character, please have a look at the other official PCU guilds – there is something for everyone.
What an extremely cool + original guild exploring both the largely untreaded grounds of the belf + forsaken alliance, loyalty beyond loyalty, as well as all things Void!
This is what I’ve long found really bassed about the Grim Gest. An allegiance of these Eastern Kingdom Horde races that has been set in since the very introduction of the Blood Elves is a treat to see being given attention and consideration like this.
It’s very easy to forget that the Blood Elves joined in with the Forsaken so readily, but the Grim Gest did not forget. Oh no.
