[Undead RP] The Hand of Agony : On the waves of retaliation

An eerie quiet of Tarren Mill is quickly interrupted by a strong shout.

“Soldiers of the Queen's Grasp gather up!”

In an instance the Forsaken troops didn’t hesitate to make a neat line in the center of Tarren Mill, the sound of clanking armour and fast footsteps rang around the area. Each one stood at attention, their hands down by their side in a high and professional manner. The sound of the armor soon ceased as the undead finally fall into line, looking dead ahead of them. Their bright glowing yellow eyes flickered in the moonlight, even the death knights scourge blue eye color burned along with the few lamplights lit around the town. Each soldier had a burning desire in those eyes, a desire to serve the Dark Lady. Men and women alike stood there in the line ready to serve the Queen.

There was a moment of silence in the air as the Executor walked up and down the line. His arms behind his back folded in a military manner, that of a leading man, the Executor never showed it upon his face but he was proud of his soldiers. They have accomplished so much in the Hand of Agony and Executor Darkblade knew much more had to be done to make way for victory in the name of her Majesty. He walks to the center of the line and takes two steps backwards addressing the line of his troops.

“Soldiers of her Majesty’s military, the Hand of Agony! War will be here, a storm is gathering and will soon be upon us! We have no means of sitting idly by and let that take us from our home!” He took a brief moment to look around the men and woman he has been serving with, the new and the old. “Those people in the south seek to take what is rightfully ours, what clearly belongs to the Dark Lady! -NO- we won’t be letting them take anything away from us. We eradicate any threat that lies before the Forsaken! We are the Hand of Agony! We are the Queen's Grasp!”
“For the Forsaken! For the Banshee Queen!”

The line of the Executors soldiers returned with a roar of their own words echoing around the town and spreading beyond it.
“Victory for Sylvanas!”


___________________________________________________________________________

The Hand of Agony, also known as The Queen's Grasp, originally based on Hand of Vengeance, is a Forsaken-only guild focused on Military RP. Even while the guild is focused on Military themes, not all of our events however are strictly militaristic. Apart from our own events, produced and brought to life by officers and members alike, we have done many, many co-operative events with several other guilds, and more have been planned for the future! Many of these events and campaigns can be found on our Argent Archives -page, where our allied guilds are also listed.

From once being only apothecaries, the Queen’s Grasp has grown into a fully operational warmachine, determined and prepared to fight the threats which the kingdom of Lordaeron and the Banshee Queen faces.

- Accept new roleplayers, willing to teach etc
- More information on our AA: http://www.argentarchives.org/node/82147

Current base: Without base of operation for now!

Rank system:

OOC: Members that have not undergone an in character interview. Said characters are allowed to remain OOC for the time it takes them to lvl, or gather RP items, or whatever other reason there is. Not indefinitely, however.

Recruit: New blood in the military unit receives a rank of Recruit, his journey ready to start. A lot of hard work will be need to prove themselfs.

Trooper: Gaining experience Recruits become troopers. Forming a less experienced pool of soldiers that will get the job done... if guided right.

Specialist: Are soldiers who already knows a few tricks and their skills has been tested enough to be ready for a deployment almost anywhere without preparations.

Veteran: These veteran soldiers of any branch act as exemplars for the less experienced among the Hand. Some are loved while others are feared, the Veteran's duty is to show those below them how it's done.

Elite: Having earned the respect of their unit and their unit Commander the Elites are men and women who are battle-hardened and equipped for their tasks. Often associated with a certain officer the Elites act as a ''Second in command'' to their assigned unit.

Officer: Having been put in charge by the Commander of the Hand the Officers lead the Hand's different divisions with an unyielding tenacity. All sections (Apothecaries/Deathguards/Deathstalkers/Spellweavers/Clergy) have one of these and each of them is determined to make her Majesty proud.

Executor: The leader of the Hand of Agony, holds absolute command over the entire unit and holds a powerful position in the Forsaken military.

Current recruitment officers:

Guildmaster Jorríck - Officers: Jakíe, Simetra, Máríe

If none of the Officers are available, you can contact any member or elite for applications but you do have to handle the IC interviews with an officer.

Frequently Asked Questions:

FAQ!

Q; Alright, seen you guys around, cool name and all.. But what EXACTLY are you about?
A: Mainly about RP, we serve her Majesty without doubts, going to places where others dare not to enter.

Q: Sylvanas huh.. Doesn't that mean you are very anti-horde?
A: Both yes and no. The beauty of Forsaken roleplay is that it is based around Free Will, and so is the guild. As long as you are loyal to Sylvanas, it's all good..

Q: Promotion?
A:You have to be active and show us what you want to roleplay as. If you are a hunter wanting to be a Dreadguard, you prove it by rping as one and dressing accordingly. Each event you go to will earn you a small amount of promotion points only visible to the officers. You will then be called to a second interview for each rank you advance in when it's time. Making it all happen IC so you can't predict when it is about to happen.

Q: Why can't I join as a Dark ranger?!
A: Cause we have decided to remove the rank altogether for two reasons: 1 is that the class is often associated with a lot of confusion and drama. We do not shun dark rangers but we chose not to have them as part of our officer system. People can still join as dark rangers as elites or deathstalkers, but won't ever be officers. 2 is that we do not recruit more blood elves. Even if your blood elf is an undead icly or a death knight, we won’t allow you to join as we already got way too many. BUT.. If you chose to use the Forsaken model and rp an undead blood elf that way, we will more then welcome you!

Q: Anything else?
A: We want to promote more use of the Forsaken as a race all together as well as the model of the forsaken male and female. There is so much rich story for everyone to enjoy! We gladly help newcomers and constructive feedback is something we are always open for. Do leave the trolling somewhere else though!

Ooooo! New thread smell ... If only I could smell or that my nose still worked. Sad deado.

Anyway! Finale with our Gearfist friends at 20.00 tonight as we cross into Redridge chasing our precious Azerite!
WOO! New thread to spread my corruption and crown myself as Empress Marlight. Alrighty then, down to business!

Tonight we have another event with the Gearfists starting around 19:00 - 20:00. As far as I know The Hand of Agony will be setting out a little more early to catch up with the Gearfists. I am not exactly sure, hopefully a officer can confirm that.

*EDIT* Myribelle beat me to the punch....great.
A new thread? Excellent, our journey toward the blight side is nearly complete.
Cool would love to join!
And with that., the campaign with the Gearfists come to a close. It has been an awesome experience and I absolutely love and enjoy that kind of RP with other guilds. Truly had a great time.

For now The Hand of Agony are staying in Stonard within the Swamp of Sworrows until further notice.
Wooh new thread! Lets see how long it takes before we hit the max amount of pages again.
Soon be back in Tarren Mill for resupply! Excited and starting to build up towards BfA plans. Watch this space.
The Hand of Agony are still in Stonard until further notices. Until then The Hand takes sometime and talk with each other around a campfire.

Certainly a good way to know the members and officers.

A new thread and alot more updates to come!

While we share some time around the fire we do keep an eye on the future!

First off is our return to Tarren Mill. A place we have loved to call a sanctuary many times. After that new events are already in the process of being developed including our plans for battle for Azeroth!
I remember looking into the HoA in the past and only hearing of it in whisper!, Good to see it's resurfaced. I have an interest in joining up and was just wondering do you guy's make a point of RPing in Tarren Mill as citizens too? i guess with bfa coming up all Forsaken players will see an upheaval.

Cheers
The Hand of Agony have always being around, as far as my own knowledge goes. Awesome! We am positive we are heading back to Tarren Mill tonight, I am sure of it. So if you want to meet us there that'd be great.

Well, I haven't seen anyone inside The Hand of Agony RPing a citizen, but I don't see why not. I am sure it is welcomed. But to be 100% you should ask an officer just to be sure.

Yes, with Battle for Azeroth coming up the Forsaken have a massive spotlight at the moment and already I see Forsaken numbers rising, even a few of my own friends have taken an interest in the Forsaken, a race they never thought they'd even try out. Who knew?
Oh cool, thanks, might have to swing by if possible. i guess by citizen i mean just hanging out at Tarren and using it as a sort of rp hub as it's a shame to let it go to waste, personally I'm happy to get involved with millitary rp as this character suits it. - And as a long time Forsaken fan I'm defo excited for the rise of undead players that we'll see
Try come by if you can, no problem. Like, sure you can hang around the hub, but I don't see any harm of a citizen getting an insight of the Queens military. You can drive forward your character progression from there. There will be -loads- of progression you can make. RPing a citizen is a very good start if you ask me.
The Hand of Agony have had a very eventful evening. Toppling over a group of Murlocs and facing down a rather large crab within the camp The Hand of Agony was meant to wait for a Horde ship to arrive.

However, through all that mess The Queens Grasp finally made it out of The Swamp of Sorrow and made it back to Tarren Mill.

Yes! We are now officially back in Tarren Mill. After a long time away from home we have returned. If you are interested in Forsaken RP or The Hand of Agony seek us out in Tarren Mill.
YAY Tarren Mill and the return of our famous pirate: Yorold Blackstorm ... who's ship sunk in bad and horrible ways. Sympathies, Captain!

Soon another Apothecary meeting and more lessons.
Ah Tarren Mill, a lovely place where the birds sing, the people smile and no horrible experiments are conducted at all.
