Weather forecast for today has been updated as well as general information and the supplies!

Hello Hrogthar and thank you for your response. For starters I would like to inform you that the questions we ask won't be known ICly by our orcs. Writing an application is the OOC part of joining the tribe's. The reason we ask these questions is to get a grasp on what our applicants know about the WoW lore ( and more specifically the orcish lore.) So do not worry about us knowing everything about your orc ICly, because we don't take this info ICly .

As for the additions to your application:
- Seeing as your orc was a young adult during the second war, he would be indeed in his 40s, however he would be in his late 40s, perhaps even early 50s.
- other than that, your application looks alright. Keep in mind that the questions you haven't answered will more than likely be asked during your IC interview.

So next up is your IC interview.The goal of the IC interview is for your character to establish contact with the tribe's members. Here is a list of orcs you can do your IC interview with: http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php?topic=2440.0 Just nudge any of these people and if they have time they'll be happy to help you!

As for the tribe's whereabouts right now: we are in the midst of a campaign in Storm Peaks. Up until Thursday the tribe has been lost, and the location we are at is rather tough to get too ICly. The tribe will be arriving in Conquest Hold on the 13th. So you could wait there with your char as there is a Red Blade member and another applicant waiting there, or you could give me a nudge in a pm if that would be too long of a wait for you and perhaps we could figure something out.

Hello Hrogthar and welcome to the forums! I've read through your application and I have a few points to raise.

- What timeframe does this story take place?
- Where does this story take place? "When the fires of war raised in the east" is a bit too wide.
- What Tribe was your Orc part of?
- What happens to your character down the road? With this I mean: What does he do through out the history of WoW up until now ( Examples being: During WotLK, the cataclysm, the Pandaria campaign and of course most recent, the alternate Draenor campaign.)
- How old is your orc now?
- Where did your orc hear about the Red Blade Tribe and why does he want to join the Red Blade tribe specifically.

Long story short: I would like to see these parts being added to your application. This will give us good insight on what your knowledge is on (orcish) lore. If you need a reference to a timeline, you can use the timeline depicted in the following link: http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php/topic,2438.0.html

Once you've added these points to your application, shoot me a pm or bump this thread with a new post. This will give me (And other officers) a heads up on the new additions to your application. I hope to see the changes soon.

Not getting my hopes up though, WoD also looked amazing before it was launched. Then they scrapped a lot of things.

^ -THIS- is why I'm not getting excited about Legion. I have a lot of things that actually kind of scare me:

- How much of the promised poopoo will Blizzard scrap because "Not enough time" or "We never promised this."
- How much content will there be apart from leveling. (No, apexis crystal dailies are not content... They weren't even accompanied with actual story and what not.)
- How much phasing will there be in the Shattered Isles with this new scaling level system ( If they even keep their promise on the scaling leveling zones.) Will the Shattered Isles even be RP'able?

These are just a few things that make me go: Eh... I can wait. I do believe that Blizzard will try to go all-out on this expac since.. well.. looking at the rapid decline in subscribers during WoD for... reasons? (lel blizz sux) if they release another piss-poor expac, it'll be the end of WoW.

Of course I hope the expansion will be as promising as Blizzard is making it sound like now, but I'm not holding my breath ( Because quite frankly.. I'd probably die seeing we still need to wait until the summer *nod*)

Today's weather forecast has been posted! I would also like to take this moment for those that haven't seen the in-game calendar yet: Thursday 3 December and Sunday 6 December will be IC ulduar runs. If you want to participate in hear events then do NOT clear Ulduar after the reset on December 2nd.

Hello Uggnath! I've read through your application and I'm pleased with the changes that you've made. So next up is your IC interview.The goal of the IC interview is for your character to establish contact with the tribe's members. Here is a list of orcs you can do your IC interview with: http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php?topic=2440.0 Just nudge any of these people and if they have time they'll be happy to help you!

Right now the Tribe is a bit lost, so I'd like to request you to wait patiently in Conquest Hold until we arrive there. The tribe will be arriving in Conquest Hold on the 15th. If you do feel that the wait might be too long, then give me a nudge in-game and we can talk about possibilities for you to join up with us earlier!

Strength and honour,

- Rrosh'tul Gridish Rimeweaver.

Tuesday has been added to the list!

I think it's safe to say that we can all blame Revax for this. His wisdom didn't help us last night.. May we rest in pepperonis.

Good read, Rhonya x]

Hello Uggnath and welcome to the forums! I read through your application and I've noticed a few issues with your story that aren't correct when it comes to the WoW timeline.

- In your application you point out that your character is born a couple years after the Second War. that means that your orc would be born in around.. year 8 (This is fine!). Around year 18 Thrall learns about the Warsong (Assuming the "They soon learned he was from the Frostwolf Clan, but raised as a gladiator by the humans." is Thrall) and seeks them out to form the "New Horde". By that time your character will be 10, not 5!

- At the end of your story, you mention the following: "After the end of the Third War, Uggnath decided to stay in Conquest Hold, so he can be close to his father's resting place.". The third war starts at give or take year 20. This is when the New Horde travels to the unexplored lands of Kalimdor. Two years later, the third war ends. During this time, the Horde hasn't set foot on Northrend, nor is Conquest Hold founded yet. The Horde sets foot on Northrend at the start of Wrath of the Lich King. (At the earliest.) So this part in your application doesn't add up with the WoW timeline.

Looking further at your application, we would also like to know what your orc has been doing during more recent events (Those being during the pandaria campaign, the Siege of Orgrimmar and the more recent Iron Horde drama.) Is your character effected by these events or does he simply stay stationed in Conquest Hold?

If you have any questions about the orcish timeline, visit this link: http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php/topic,2438.0.html

Once you've made the changes to your application, shoot me a PM on the forums or bump your application with a new post so we are made aware of changes being made!

Strength and Honour,
