From the Ashes, Arise a Clan

The deed has been done. The Burning Blade remnants have been defeated and, in the face of adversity, the Red Blade has arisen anew as a unified clan. Following the teachings of the Great Wolf Akashok and his pantheon of Great Spirits, the clan will move forward into a new era. Though now a clan, outsiders who hail from other clans will still be welcomed as they always have. After all, it has long been among the traditions of the Red Blade, even in the times of the Old World, that clan blood would be mixed with those of others considering its rooted history as a war band from the apocryphal times of Draenor. As a result, outsider clan customs or traditions may continue to be upheld, so long as none of these conflict with those of the Red Blade clan. Not only will the Red Blade be a place of tradition and spiritualism, but it will also be a place of unification for orcs who hail from all different banners, to stand together underneath a single colour.


What does this mean?
All in all, this means that the guild is officially back in business! Recruitment has opened up once more, which can be done in the Applications forums or by contacting us in-game, and IC promotions will follow on the first upcoming Clan Gathering. We will also continue on defining the clan's culture and religion as time passes by, with the Great Spirits no doubt making their return in future campaigns or plots! Of course, they may be used for people's own personal RP by their own choosing as well, as the primary OOC purpose of the Great Spirits is to help provide an anchor for both old but especially new orc RPers that will help refine their cultural RP. After all, not everyone may be equally well versed in expressing an orc in everyday RP, but cultural and religious hooks such as the Red Blade Culture and the Great Spirits should hopefully help people along in making their orcs feel more like orcs! Of course, should anyone have any further questions about these, don't hesitate to ask! As always, the Frequently Asked Questions topic will be there to answer general questions as well.


What if I missed all the action?
Have no fear! Even if you didn't attend the ongoing reboot campaign, you won't have necessarily missed a thing! You can find a complete summary of everything that happened on each single event in the Campaign: Return of the Red Blade thread. You can also find all of the newly gained lore and knowledge in all of the corresponding topics, some of which are listed above. Others, such as the usual rank topics and the like, can be found at the top of the front page in the Red Blade Compendium or on the right hand side of the website in the Quick Links block. And of course, you needn't worry about having to learn all of this from scratch! The best way to learn all of this is by doing, so if you're a new member or wish to join, it's not mandatory to read up on every little piece of lore scattered on this website. Everything will be taught and experienced IC as time passes by!

So, here's to another glorious twelve years! For the Blood of Redblade!
