Dha'karth

Dha'karth

Honored brothers and sisters,

We find ourselves upon distant and aliens shores. With our ship cast to the depths of the sea and the clan dogged by the Alliance navy, we have but one path: survive. And in order to survive, questionable things must sometimes be done. We must keep to the wilderness and find ourselves a way off this island. To this end, these pirates that we happened upon may prove useful yet. Even if this so-called Captain Curtsy may have once been our enemy, we may well need his aid to book ourselves passage off this rock.

As it appears, that very rock turns out to be the island of the nation of Kul Tiras. Some of you may no doubt still be familiar with them, having once set foot upon the shores of Kalimdor ere they were chased away by the efforts of the Horde. Even if it was not for that however, I doubt that any of them would see fit to give us a particularly warm welcome. The Alliance navy will no doubt seek to pick up our trail once more, even on distant shores such as these. So, we make do with what convenient allies we can find. That is, after all, how the Horde has seen fit to survive in times past. We must do so again, if just for the moment.

In spite of all that, know that even out here, the Code does not go forgotten. These pirates undoubtedly have their own set of codes to adhere to, and we may well have to tolerate their ways for the time being. When we ourselves act, however, we act on our own terms. So remember that no matter what it takes to continue our journey back to Kalimdor here in Kul Tiras, the spirits of our ancestors travel with us. Even here, adrift in a land of enemies.

For the Blood of Redblade,



Dha'karth (September) Events
Dha'karth, Earth's Gift, is a month of offering and receiving. With winter approaching, clans that rely on the gifts of the earth such as fruits and seeds take this chance to give thanks to the element of earth to secure its blessing and to harvest as many supplies for the winter months to come. It is also the month of the autumnal equinox, traditionally the date of the second Kosh'harg festival of the year.

[Campaign] Chapter IV: A World Divided
With the Siege of Lordaeron and the Drums of War campaign concluded, the Red Blade Clan has set sail back for Kalimdor. On their way there however, they have been beset upon by the ambitious Alliance High Captain Kasimir Procter. Stranded and without decent supplies or weapons on Kul Tiras, they must find a way to survive both the elements as well as the enemies that lurk upon these unfamiliar shores. A convenient ally has been found in Captain Climidea Curtsy who, with his band of buccaneers, has promised his support to the Red Blade Clan if they agree to help him out in his efforts against the Proudmoore Admiralty in return. An uneasy alliance is sure to follow as the clan makes its way through Kul Tiras in Chapter IV: A World Divided!

[Celebration] Peon Day
Though our fate in Kul Tiras is uncertain just yet, one thing is certain: Peon Day is fast approaching! Though often scorn and looked down upon, peons do in fact play an integral part in the war machine of the Horde, having long relied upon their labour to survive and endure. The Red Blade Clan's number one and favourite peon, Droof, has set about to organize this year's Peon Day on the 30th day of Dha'karth. A grand spectacle (and Droof's trademark catering, no doubt) is sure to follow!



Announcements
[OOC] Recruitment
With the clan stranded on the island of Kul Tiras, it may be difficult for any potential newcomers to make contact with us. Though we're open to recruitment as always, it's worth bearing in mind that any applicants or guild friends wishing to seek us out will have to keep sharding and level 120 mobs in mind. We have the means to summon wherever we go and we will do what we can to take care of any level 120 mobs, but keep in mind that even IC, it's still a little early into the expansion to have the Horde freely traveling around on Kul Tiras just yet. As such, anyone wishing to seek us out may wish to not only keep the OOC risks in mind, but also bear in mind that they may want to come up with an IC excuse as to why they're on Kul Tiras themselves. It's not something to overthink though, so do seek us out if you've an interest as always!

[OOC] Kosh'harg Festival
Due to our ongoing campaign and Battle for Azeroth having only just released, the traditional Kosh'harg date is going to have to be moved. Since there are no other guilds taking the initiative to organize it just yet, the guild will most likely organize its own Kosh'harg next month, inviting only specific guilds and communities due to IC reasons. Keep an eye out for any upcoming announcements regarding that!
