Name: Morudkai Snowbeard

Rank: Recruit

Class: Restoration Shaman

Status: Main Beard

Humble healer, Accomplished Cook and wandering shaman. 

As a player, I have been enjoying the wonderful World of Warcraft for about 5 years. I came in right at the end of legion. Its been a wonderful time and ive enjoyed being able to learn how to both play and how i want to interact.

The joy of being a kind, humble fellow and just bringin smiles to faces has always been a huge appeal in RPG games, and im glad Im able to do so with this old long beard.

Cheers Beards and Braids!

Name: Thaela Featherfall

Rank/Division: Recruit of Mountaineering

Class: Enhancement Shaman

Status: Alive

About Thaela:  I haven't gotten a chance to write up to much, as most of it I would like to have eventually found out via RP. But I did write up a short story about her time during the Cataclysm in the Twilight Highlands fighting against the Dragonmaw Clan. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BkaQeDHlc5yhYkywb4Kojsp5KyusV5KCvGhXYDfi2L4/edit?usp=sharing

She stands about 3'6'' which I understand is rather short for a Dwarf, the oldest of a set of Twins and the apple of her father's eye. She carries the dormant Stormhammer of her fallen sister, so that one day she can smash the orc's face in who killed her sister.

About Dusky: Can't write about Thaela and forget about the most important part, her Gryphon Dusktalon. A stubborn creature who loves Thaela with every feather on her body. Shes somewhat a giant mother hen, and is often seen preening Thaela's hair making a right mess of it, but if you ask Dusktalon it looks fabulous!

About Me:  Hello my name is Ashley, but many of you know me on server as the little Lt Peregrin Ramsey from the Tenth Fleet the Kul Tiran Firecracker herself *flex*. I've …

Locations

Grand Hall
The first area excavated and used as the Vanguard's forward operating base for much of the early Legion invasions. As other spaces were excavated, operations moved further into the mountain. Being behind the large front gate, it is a safe place to temporarily gather goods and people in an emergency. 

The Loose Blunderbuss
The hold's watering hole. The pub doesn't operate with money but on a strict personal ration. It's possible to earn an extended ration as a bonus for good work and after successful missions. 

Troop Barracks
The garrison is not large enough for seperate division quarters, so they share the barracks. It is segregated by gender.
The Dun Tor troops are mostly Mountaineers, so the others eventually become more informed about gun maintenance and goat-rearing than they ever cared to know.

Off-Limits Construction
Even after most Vanguard troops have left Dun Tor, expansion has not stopped. A small but dedicated team of mining engineers work in a closed-off area, making sure it is safe before opening new spaces for use.

Steward's Office
The office of the Steward of Dun Tor, currently held by Lt. Valkorunn Darklocke. Under his stewardship Dun Tor has become a center …

Name: Ragnarr Ungart

Rank: Recruit

Class: "Grudgebearer" - Fury Warrior (I don't PvP, Fury is just so I can shield and Great Weapon for Transmog. Also, Fury for RP.)

Status: Begrudge, the character name, is new. I made him exclusively for Dwarf RP. I'm a huge fan of Dwarves in Fantasy settings, although never got into WoW Dwarves, ironically enough. Hopefully you guys can aid me in this endeavor! He is active.

A Little Bit About the Character

Ragnarr Ungart is heir to being the Patriarch of the Ungart Clan. Currently, he holds their Book of Grudges, with all known trespasses against his Clan's honor. He's two-hundred and twenty-one years old, and has seen conflict in all four Wars, serving the Alliance, specifically under his Clan's banner in Ironforge's armies. He's infantry, through and through, always preferring the heaviest armor and the largest axe or hammer around. He's stoic, speaks a lot of Dwarvish rather than Common, and has an impeccable beard, as all Dwarves should. He protects his friends and allies as though they were his Clan, and Ragnarr expresses a bit of hatred toward Elves, Orcs and... Well... The Horde in general. Blackbloods, Knife-Ears, Greenskins, Cows... He's called …

Advancing through the ranks requires a few things. First of all, remaining in good standing with the guild. Attending a certain amount of events. Hosting some of your own. Most notably, you'll need to complete the Trials of Progression for your Division to advance beyond Warbrand. 

Recruits in the Vanguard are typically already accomplished soldiers or warriors in some sense. They were recruited by the Vanguard after being recognized for their prowess.

Dragoons have completed their training and are starting to get accustomed to their Division.

Warbrands are seasoned veterans of the Vanguard. They show their grit during the branding ceremony by holding a burning coal in their bare hand.

Ironguards are exceptional soldiers who have successfully completed many difficult missions and trials. They have earned the right to create and wield a masterwork weapon of their own.

A Bael Guard is the best at what they do. They are seen as an expert in their field and can wear a custom uniform to their own specification.

THE DWARVEN VANGUARD

Gryphon Lessons

Claimed by: UNCLAIMED

IC Mission Statement:

The newly recruited warriors of the Wildhammer Clan are familiar with gryphons, but have much to learn from their elders. Being able to take to the air is not enough; one must be deft upon the winds to continue the fearsome reputation of the Clan’s gryphon riders. As relations mend between the Vanguard and the Wildhammers, Baruzad troops are invited to get top of the line training along with these young recruits. Join your kin and learn how to fly a gryphon like the best!

OOC Event Map:

The pacing of this event will be tricky. You begin at the rookery and choose an Elder Wildhammer NPC to guide your group (name them). You also pick 2-3 recruit NPCs (name them too - give bonuses to characters who say they already know how to fly well). Take to the sky and do some fun skill checks ( out of /50 so the people know it’s not combat, lighthearted outcomes …

Name: Khudaal Silverbelt

Rank/Division: Ironguard of the Mountaineering Division

Class: Assassination Rogue

Status: Alive

About Khudaal:

Khudaal was born in Thelsamar, the only child of his parents. Khudaal's father died a few months before he was born, so he was raised by his mother, a woman who taught him the life lessons he holds to today. As he grew up, he learned how to hunt the bears in the surrounding woods, and later joined the Rangers of Loch Modan. When he learned of his mother's death at the hands of an orcish raiding party, he traveled south to recover her remains, only to find that she had been buried under the Light at Northshire Abbey. This led to Khudaal hating all orcs, and distrusting those who use the Light. His anger at his mothers death pushed him to join the Defias Gang, where he spent many years preying upon the people of Elwynn, Westfall, and Duskwood. Becoming infamous as the Crimson Reaper, the gang drugged sold him to a cult to keep people from catching on to their work. At the mercy of the cult, Khudaal lived over a decade as their pawn, a prisoner inside his own body as …
