Order of Boralus



"The Order has been called to take the place of our battle-hardened Marines. We will specialize in all fields that will be beneficial to the Alliance. We are the sole diplomatic and military force representing Kul Tiras. This means that failure is not an option. Our Prince Reagent, Lord Admiral Tandred has ordered us to defend and maintain Allied settlements in the Eastern Kingdoms.  Our friends in Stormwind welcome us with open arms because they know of the Glory of Kul Tiras and the fierceness of our warriors in battle. We trade because we are addicted to success. We fight because success must be maintained. We conquer because the Lord Admiral demands it. Glory to Kul Tiras and to the Grand Order of Boralus!"

-Lord Velenion Swiftblade Addressing the Order

Rules and Regulations
Adapted from their website.

Kul Tiras Militia

Rules and Regulations

''This document was produced to help this organization advance in its future objectives to come. All of these rules and regulations are expected to be followed by the organization in its entirety. Anyone that defies any of the laws in this document will be terminated and will be resigning immediately.''

Section I
''The militia will be led by The Round Table, four different members within its ranks. One member will be titled the leader of the militia itself, being a representation of Kul Tiras and the group on the mainland itself. One will be titled the Diplomat, overviewing the affairs of other organizations in The Eastern Kingdoms. The last two will be overseers of what occurs within the militia, making sure there aren’t any disputes or issues within its own ranks.''

Section II
''The Round Table members will be chosen personally by the current heads of Kul Tiras in the militia. When time comes that one has to resign from the position the Round Table will have a meeting two days after the resignation to discuss another fit for the position. Two out of the three must agree with promoting the candidate to position in order for it to be ratified. If a candidate isn’t chosen in this meeting, another meeting shall begin the following day until one is picked. Upon choosing a qualified candidate, the following day will be a ceremony swearing the member into the vacant position.''

Section III
In order to qualify for a position in the Round Table you must have these certain aspects within your being:

- Loyalty to Kul Tiras

- Humble in their Actions

- Obedient

- Be active in all the organization’s affairs

- Able to stay out of conflicts within the ranks

- Doesn’t ask questions when given orders

If all of these aspects apply to someone within the militia they are qualified for a position on the Round Table.

 

Section IV
''Impeachment is allowed within The Round Table. If a member of The Round Table questions/accuses another of committing a crime or any type of wrong doing will be tried. The trial will be taken place in Kul Tiras by the main heads of the country. Both the defendant and plaintiff must bring valid information with them in order for the trail to be successful. If valid information isn’t present the impeachment will be waived until evidence is available. If the impeachment is successful, the defendant will be stripped of their title and their outcome will be determined by the Judge of the case.''

Section I
''The Leader of the Militia will be known as Admiral. The Admiral is Chief of Naval Operations, meaning he will be leading missions during his time in this position. All are expected to respect the Chief of Naval Operations. Disrespect to your head of command will lead to disciplinary actions and other possible consequences.''

''Your duty as The Admiral is to ensure that all missions are followed through to the expectations of your superiors in Kul Tiras. We expect nothing, but perfection with no causalities or mental/physical injuries. You must lead this organization with pride and show no emotion while on duty or when handling internal affairs with others. Following these simplistic guidelines will make most tasks given to you an absolute success.''

Section II
''The Diplomat will be the leader of affairs with other organizations in The Eastern Kingdoms. The Diplomat’s duty is to notify the Admiral of other organizations that may benefit the militia or harm it. Once the Admiral is notified of the organization and declares interest in the party the Diplomat must gather information on the party. In the process of gathering information the Diplomat must first speak with other organizations in The Eastern Kingdom with our Diplomatic Recognition and Alliance about their overview of the unknown organization. Once that task is completely they are allowed directly make contact with the unknown organization. Record the information and report to Admiral to discuss the topic. The Admiral will decide to sign the document in approval or decline. If approved it must be sent in a letter to Kul Tiras for it to be recognized officially.''

Section III
''The other two members of the Round Table will be Overseers of internal affairs to assist The Admiral with managing the militia. If something is out of place that can be fixed they will notify The Admiral. They will charge those who disobey the laws of this Order with a misdemeanor and will be disciplined. If they cause a major issue within the organization the Overseers will contact The Admiral as soon as possible about the situation. It is The Admiral’s job to handle the punishment of the suspect, leading to most likely resignation or resignation and blacklisted.''

Original Call to Arms by Lord Swiftblade
''Some called me a mercenary. In reality I am a patriot. I am a loyal servant, and would rather die than see the fall of my country. For this reason, and this reason alone is why I serve. When the Order was founded by the Kul Tiran Noble Free League, I saw no interest. A bunch of rich old men who were out for their own with a government front. What they had in common was they had Kul Tiran walords as sons. After the death of our King to the green skins, some of the nobles and generals formed independent bands all in protection of the Prince. General Robert Rusmith was one of the most powerful. Commanding a sizable army, he quickly took it upon himself to unite the nobles once again, only to fail. Those warlords who decided against it were the same founders of the Order..''

''When our Marines went away to war during the Burning Crusade, Sir. Anderson "The Swift" along with a few nobles formed the Order of the Blue Anchor. Made up of mostly merchants and ship captains, the order created a lenient capitalist society in multiple villages around Kul Tiras, putting ideas in some areas, making the Prince seem like more of a figurehead. ''

''I met Sir. Anderson after my first tour of duty in Draenor. My family, who were merchant nobles actually helped found the order, so it was only right that followed in his foot steps. He took me under his wing and very soon afterwards I was promoted to Knight Captain. Anderson became greedy though, and used his power to topple patriarchal clans and inherit privately own merchant vessals in the Counties surrounding Boralus. What he wasn't expecing was government intervention an soon the Prince ordered the disbandment of the Order indefinately. Sir Anderson, a loyal and honorable patriot followed orders and the Order of the Blue Anchor ceased to exist. ''

''Soon, the command structure of Kul Tiras was reformed and the Prince began the recreation of a new fleet. He called home the marines helping his Allies on the mainland, and under the orders of Lord Nathan, Duke of Crestfall, I, Lord Velenion Swiftblade of the Noble House of Lancaster, was sent out on diplomatic leave. To remake the order created by my forefathers on the key principles of Loyalty, Honor, and Integrity. To keep Kul Tiran presence strong. All merchants, warriors, and holymen of the Alliance, heed my call!''

OOC
Technically we're an RP-PVP guild. We are active in World PVP events with other guilds and promote RP-PVP in anywhere possible. However, we try not to center ourselves around one particular content. Also, we prefer not to have our lower level members stress over leveling just to get to 85 and get their pvp guild. We're trying to get up in different aspects of the game and soon want to promote a story-driven plot line that the guild can enjoy.

With that said, we do follow all of the rules of engagement that has been put in place by Horde/Alliance guilds to provide a smooth RP-PVP experience.

Recruitment Policy
-We accept High Elves, Humans, Worgen, Dwarves only. If there's someone else in the guild not of those three races there's a valid RP reason for that.

- Level requirement is 50, but there are exceptions for exceptional RPers.

- Proper grammar and punctuation is required when IC.

- Willingness to try new things when asked must be top priority.

- Must be tolerant of ethnicity, gender, age, and sexuality.

- Must be willing to wear uniforms given.
