Every time I log in, I see people demanding help with finding an RP guild, or one with a certain theme. One could not except newcomers to scroll through an endless stream of forum posts, or hundreds of Argent Archives profiles, just to find out that the guild of their liking disbanded a year ago, or hasn’t been active for months. Because it is my intention to help the dynamics of the community, I excluded inactive guilds.
Those I inavertedly left out, please contact me ingame via /whisper or mail, or just leave a comment below. Newly formed guilds are welcome aswell, just inform me of your existance. If a listed guild disbands or dies off, the procedure of removal should be the same.
The list contains the guild name and few words describing the theme, ordered alphabetically under categories of race/faction exclusiveness. (Let me know if you find a description unfitting or have a better alternative). You can find a guild’s original forum post, Argent Archives profile, and in cases its website by making a google search with „<guildname> argent dawn”.

Thumbs up from me, like how you put opposed to the Kirin Tor as well!
Good initiative the Blood aegis however is on hiatus.
You can bump Burning Ashes up there too. Blood elven mercs.
We also need an Alliance one (even if they smell)
The Cult of the Raptor sadly is an inactive guild.
Please add up the Gilded Coin :P Blood Elf Mercenary/Black Ops ! x

While we're not affiliated with the Horde IC, <Fealty to the Grave> is a guild for death knights on Horde. Feel free to add us.
a nice and short list! I like 'tis..!
however, Primalsong Tribe ain't part of the Horde, its an independant and neutral tribe.

Sorry, I should have mentioned - we're Knights of the Ebon Blade. Fairly important detail.18/06/2016 19:15Posted by RedboneFealty to the Grave (death knight, not part of the Horde)

Though if i were to gove feedback... Change it into cathegories of races rather than a long list form like this.

Dis list is gud, because it recognize Stonemaul Mights. *stands proud*
Good initiative.
Good initiative.
Seconding the request to have it sorted by race and then alphabetically within the categories. Think about how it will be used and what questions it will answer, and arrange information to make that easy. Good thing to do though!
Yeah, on horde side but not actually on Horde side. Like we want to join that rabble. ;)
It's good though but we're doing a totally better faction altogether. >:)
