World of Warcraft

Overview:

2700 years ago, after the epic troll wars, a few humans now found themselves in position of the Arts. With their elven tutors, they banded together and formed the second city state after Strom - Dalaran.

They devoted their skills to collect, study and catalog every spell, artifact and phenomenons, and in that age the wealth and might of Dalaran grew. Its spires rose high to the heavens, and the Violet Citadel was built to stand as a forefront to all arcane studies. Over the many years to come, they would see to the safety of Lordaeron, develop spells into levels not seen since the Sundering, and they gave of their numbers to form the legendary, and secretive, Order of Tirisfal. In the Second War, the magical might of Dalaran was welcome on every battlefield, and they strove to prevent arguments between the Seven Kingdoms from breaking into civil war.

Serving Dalaran are the wizards and sorcerers of the Kirin Dal. War wizards who have laid their staves before the Magocracy of the realm. While they work alongside the Alliance from time to time, the mages often find themselves acting as the sword and shield to protect the interest of Dalaran against insidious socereries and more subtle threats.

Most members of the Kirin Dal work proactively to seek out magical artifacts in order to secure them from hostile usage against their kingdom, rectifying the situation before greater force and attention is required.General Information:

The Kirin Dal is a group of wizards and sorcerers fiercely loyal to the Magocracy of Dalaran. In battle they launch surgical strikes with their magic - raining lightning, frost and fire down upon any enemy of the Magocracy. However, they are also known as scholars, and most wizards prefer the company of a good book in his study over the hazards of a battlefield. The order does not accept rogue magisters, whose loyalties they are not entirely certain of.

Some within the order pride themselves on arrogance, something that comes with magic, yet the Kirin Dal forbid the use of demons and dark magic. The top priority of the order is to root out any threat that would fall upon Dalaran or Azeroth. However the legacy of the order is to study, catalog and collect every phenomenon, spell or artifact.

Should a mage seek entry into the Kirin Dal, he must find a suitable sponsor; there is no alternative to this procedure. The mage will be evaluated in his competence of the Arts, and the Council will decide on his suitability in becoming a fully fledged member of the order. The sponsor can be any member of the Kirin Dal above the rank of Magus.

If the mage is successful in gaining trust, the sponsor will present him to the Council. The sponsor will then represent the mage to the audience, fully explaining his reasons to become a member of the order. The Council will question the mage, and, if they believe him of the right material, will ask him to take the Oath of the Eye. Upon swearing the oath, the mage becomes an Initiate of the Kirin Dal.

The order is also known to host annual events such as:

The Magefaire in autumn.

The Annual Dalaran Winter Banquet in winter.

Guidelines:
- All ranks from Initiate to Archmage are to step in character and try their best to serve the interest of Dalaran, and protect its honor.

- The Kirin Dal is an order of individuals with one common goal. However, when a lower ranked is near to an officer it is required to show respect and follow orders.

- Loyalty and discipline is repaid with generous offers and higher responsibility.

Whenever it is simple study, potion brewing, humble scribe work or rooting out any evil that may threat our interests, the Kirin Dal secures all in between and more. Working close with the Alliance, and in rare cases the Horde, the Kirin Tor understands the hard gained honor in unity. Should you think yourself worthy of upholding such a dutiful mantle, you should request for citizenship in the Magocracy. Once that far, any application is welcome, if you feel yourself dedicated enough. Dont assume anything yet however, our standards are high, as Dalaran holds no use for second rate magisters.

OOC:

The oldest and biggest spellcaster concentrated RP guild on Argent Dawn, the Kirin Dal's virtues rests heavily upon four principles:

- Trust
- Seriousness
- Enthusiasm
- The willingness to learn more.

We require certain rules to be upheld by current members, as well as future applicants. We require of you:

Knowlegde in the Schools of the Arcane.
A well supported knowlegde in the lore concerning the Warcraft lore.
A very good grip on the English language.
To build an ACTUAL character with ACTUAL emotions, desires, goals, emotions and so on.

Furthermore, we expect our members to take In-Character responsibility to their In-Character actions, to take distance from In-Character problems with an Out-Of-Character view and vice versa. In order to join, one must also be playing a mage, naturally.

With the Cataclysm, we allow the following races entry to the Kirin Dal: Gnomes - Humans - Dwarves - Worgen.

Should you wish to apply or simply have any questions regarding the Kirin Dal, throw one of our members a whisper and we'll figure something out.

Or alternatively contact the following people in-game:

Valven - Kreyja - Gnorbert - Valadir

I do wonder, what happened to Dalar?

Edit: Also, bump. Kirin Dal, 's good stuff!

He became one.. with the Force..

PS: If you really insist on joining the guild, have your mage grow a beard, that gives P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-I-T-Y!

Edit:

Disclaimer: Does not apply if you're a woman!

Then you grow sideburns where... you can!

Server wouldn't be the same without those purple clad, arcane abusing, elusive, book hugging, pointy hat wearing, sequin covered, pompous, spire loving, fire flinging, frost weaving, lore obsessed, slightly crazy, portal scrying, material transmuting, belf friendly Kirin'dal.

Though I do have to ask... where -did- Valven acquire that accent?

"Some say 'tis t'smokin'.. Others say 'tis archaic Dalaranic accent. Some people simply assume t'changes are woven on t'tapestry of fate.. all comes down to opinion, methinks."

You will all join your friends in Ambermill, soon enough...

*Steps on Marttus* Go back to your Sep... Sepculcher.. Sepulcher.. Sepuchler.. I can never remember that name.

Sepulcher. It's usually pronounced Sep-ul-ker, and is commonly known in the name of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (note the european spelling).

Difficult to say if you aren't familiar with it, or you're ten years old and can only read CH words as cha.

Dwarves are such lovely beings...

EDIT: even forgot the reason why I posted here.

Anyway, looks quite interesting, but on your site I noticed previous RP experience is required (pretty much), but does that have to be in WoW only?

Not exactly, could also go to Tabletop / Pen and Paper / whatever. Although it would be a big bonus if said applicant had knowledge in the Warcraft universe.

And not having said knowledge includes questions like: "What's the Second War?" - "What do you mean 'Scourge'?" et cetera.

Hope that clears up a few things.

I know the secret to make your guild even bigger and more powerful.

Recruit dwarf mages in Cataclysm? ;P

Perhaps. But there are broader horizons to cross than just Dwarf Mages.

I shall explain further when you wish it of me, good sire. I shall set about ironing out the roughness of my inspiration into an understandable, and hopefully plausible, creation of imagination.

We've been bringing cures from Ironforge to Stormwind City
Treated rabbit fever down in Northshire
Gout or gastritus, mumps or bronchitis
Bites and burns and blue abrasions
Got a pill for all occasions

Sentinel Hill was so nice to visit
And Southshore is lovely to recall
But through all our trips
Good Titan there's one place
One corner, one town on our lips
Why it's--

DALARAN

We've wiped out impetigo ín the lands of Arathi
Flu is under firm control in Hillsbrad Fields
Fireseal's potions, tablets and lotions
Major news in modern science
Step up now and join my clients

My friends, you've seen a miracle and you'll see many more
People will come pouring in from land and sea
We'll have centers for testing
Let's start investing
Keep those silver and gold coins mounting
I'll collect
I'll do the counting

Everyone who lives here will be strong and healthy
You'll be getting richer by the day
Hear them acclaim us
This town will be famous
The whole wide world will look at us and say
It's...

DALARAN!

Once more the mages shall rule the galaxy.

In their minds maybe.. only in their minds.

Everyone knows the Light is where true power is. Sure, you can make bread, even toast without the appropriate apparatus, but I will live -forever- ... albeit without toast. But is that truly living?

That's why he needs to keep the Mage-Priest option open, on the unlikely off-chance that someone wants to join as that roll.

And he needs more Warlocks >.<
