Twenty Years Later - A Quiet Anniversary


Hello everyone, it's been a long time.

Today marks the guild's twentieth anniversary!

We may no longer ride together as a guild, but I wanted to step back in for a moment - if only to honour what we built, and what still lingers. After all, twenty years is no small thing. It's twenty years of stories, adventures, laughter, heartbreak, friendships, and the kind of late-night conversations that stay with you long after the screen has gone dark.

These days, the guild may have quieted down over time beyond the Discord we use to chat and stay in touch, but it felt wrong not to pause for a moment and look back on everything that has happened over all that time.

Time is a wonderful yet frightening thing; it catches up to you with a sudden realisation. One moment you're logging into WoW between schoolwork and meeting strangers who will somehow become lifelong friends. Then before you know it, you're paying a mortgage, raising kids, or simply dealing with the consequences of a WoW-induced gaming posture.

I too may have (mostly) moved on from the game, but we all know WoW never truly lets go. Both the guild and the friends I made through it are things I still think back on with a lot of fondness. Even if the guild's pen has stopped writing new stories, there's a whole archive of twenty years' worth of history preserved on the website and Discord. I've sometimes wondered whether it's still worth paying for the website hosting, but then I think of all those stories and the people connected to them, and I know it is. It's the legacy we've left behind, after all.

Beyond that though, there's something far more lasting; the bonds we forged. Whether we choose to keep them alive or let them rest as treasured memories, they'll always be a part of who we are.

Either way, I'm grateful. For the stories, the friendships, the moments of joy and madness, and yes, even the drama that gave it all texture.

I don't know if I'll ever post here again. But then again, twenty years ago, none of us knew what we were starting. Either way, here's to the past - and perhaps, to another twenty years somewhere down the road.

Aka'magosh.
Looking for us?

We're still around! But the focus has moved from our forums to our Discord community. If you're interested in contacting us or joining the guild, you're most welcome to join our Discord community here! Though of course, you're still welcome to peruse the forums for the plethora of guild-related information that you can still find there and is still used in-game to this day.

See you in Azeroth!
Orcs of the Red Blade Enter the Metaverse!

Orcs of the Red Blade has always striven to be at the forefront of the newest developments in the world of roleplay. Now, on April 1st 2022, we are pleased to announce our next step to help propel WoW RP into the future: Straight into the Metaverse!


As of today, ORB is embracing Web 3.0 technology by introducing its own cryptocurrency: The Shrewdcoin! Based on the clan’s most illustrious canine, the Shrewdcoin opens the door to a slew of possibilities that will benefit not only ORB’s stakeholders and other GMs who stand to gain from a monetized roleplaying experience, but also the roleplayers themselves in experiencing a new era of self-expression and self-idolization!

Along with Shrewdcoins, we will be introducing our very own non-fungible tokens: The Nominal Orcish Proprietary Effect! NOPEs will be obtainable exclusively with Shrewdcoins and for its first drop will allow you to own your very own piece of Red Blade history in the form of a representation of Chieftain Kozgugore Feraleye’s iconic costumes from throughout the years! These Chieftain avatars, acutely nicknamed “Kozzitars”, will sell for .0666 Shrewdcoins ($0.0009 at the time of writing), plus transaction fees.


For our first release, we will be selling 250 NOPEs in our first drop for a collection that will ultimately reach no less than 500,000 NOPEs. Those who purchase multiple NOPEs will have a chance to win exclusive prizes, such as being featured in the guild’s Message of the Day or becoming the guild’s GM (Chieftain) for a day.

In a first reaction, ORB’s GM Kozgugore had this to say:
Quote“I truly believe NOPEs and Shrewdcoins will set off a new era of IP creation, community development and roleplay monetization. Shrewdcoins will be a revolutionary way to introduce the “play to earn” concept that people have become so excited for into more households, while NOPEs will be the ultimate form of self-expression.

I believe that these new technologies and concepts will provide us with numerous opportunities to enrich people’s lives through digital entertainment, which is at the core of our guild. We remain committed to creating, developing, and providing world-class content, and we will contribute to the happiness of society and its people by offering new forms of excitement. With Shrewdcoins and NOPEs, I truly feel we are one step closer to fulfilling our original mission of enriching the Metaverse with the introduction of more Orcish customs and practices.”
The future is very meta, the future is very verse! Stay tuned for more announcements as Shrewdcoins and NOPEs will branch out for guild ranks, ancestral favours, two-second GIFs from our guild trailers, Verzan Skywise’s first ever Tweet, digital spots around the campfire and much more!
A Tribute to Kulgha


It is with great sadness on this Christmas day that we need to share the news that one of our members, Kulgha (also known as Karhla), has passed away last week on the 17th of December.

Kulgha had been battling with her illness for some time now, but her optimistic and helpful nature was an inspiration to all of us. She was warm, kind and always giving, and even when she felt poorly, she led events at the Kosh’harg. It’s no surprise, then, that she made many great friendships both in our community as well as outside of it. Which is why I feel we had to share this news a little more publicly as well.

Many of us had a plethora of treasured memories from our RP with Kulgha, who was always fully committed to something once she had a great idea, such as being the clan’s wolf handler. Out of character, too, she had a massive heart and was truly a great person to be around. Several times, she reached out to me when I was in a rather bad spot myself, and I know I’m not the only one for whom she did so for that matter. She truly cared for people, even when barely knowing them and having far worse things on her own mind what with everything that life threw at her.

Aka’Magosh to a wonderful person. You will be sadly missed, Kulgha. The world and Azeroth will be a poorer place now that you’re not in it.

Many thanks to Durgrol for sharing this news with us.
