Irana'ethil!

For the Good of the Realm!

The Nightsong Sentinels patrol the lands of Kalimdor, responding to Call to Arms in defense of those who live within Alliance the territories. We have had longstanding presence within the Park of Stormwind City, Darnassus, Dolanaar, Auberdine, and Astranaar which also serves as our home base with teleportation system.Not only doing battle and brokering treaties with the Horde, the sentinels of Nightsong engage in inter-guild events for the prosperity of the Kaldorei people, and host “Donation Days” where they offer goods to the displaced people of Teldressil (new players) who could use a little extra help in this rapidly changing world. This most often comes in the form of armor, rations, shelter, and bags!If you would like to donate to these days, send mail to Astaa or Miriala in game! We thank some of our most long standing significant donors - Evangelinne and Keaz for their ongoing contributions.

Shaha lor'ma, thank you for reading!

Our Discord

Stay connected in game and offline through our discord! Join below by clicking the discord button!Our rules can be found in the Welcome Room section of the Discord. For ease of reading for those without a discord, you may find them here as well!OOC Rules:1. Do not use slurs as a joke or to be offensive or hurtful be it in Guild Chat in game or on the discord.
• We have a zero tolerance policy for slurs, be they directed at a gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, or mental health issue. If they are said anywhere, we will act on it. Our guild is LGBTQIA+ inclusive, supports women in gaming and their right to feel safe doing so, as well as players of color. I really don’t know what you expected from the race in Warcraft lore lead by women for the last 10,000 years.2. Please no political, religion, or sexual discussion in guild or the discord. If you'd like to have a discussion with another member about any of those topics please take it to Whispers in game or Direct Messages on Discord. But remember to keep it civil and respectful.
• Identities one is born with are not politics, although they sometimes fall into the political spectrum due to the beliefs of others. At all times, try to be kind to one another and understanding. If a player makes others uncomfortable with political, sexual, overtly religious or rude chat - please report them to officers so we can address the issue.
• We do not allow for any Kaldorei characters who engage in romantic sub plots, or combat, to be below 300 years of age IC. This helps to avoid uncomfortable situations around a character potentially being a minor, and child soldiers. A character can be mentally 20 while still being 300. Please age your character accordingly!
• Although Blizzard can change maturation depending on who is writing, we go with 300 to set a constant. Officer team will act on characters listing themselves as younger.3. Do not argue in Guild chat or on the Discord. You can have a healthy debate about something, but do not start insulting someone for having a different opinion or different idea of how something should be done.
• This plays into the respect rule above. Please always be respectful of one another. If you feel heated about a certain topic, it is always okay to walk away or to ask it to be changed.4. Do not bully or harass. This includes Discord, Discord DMs, Guild Chat, or Whispers in game.
• Again, respect!This is not only for our guild but for EVERY person you encounter. If I get whispers from a different player not in our guild about you harassing them, or interrupting an RP event or just being a nuisance in general we will be speaking and if it was offensive enough you will be demoted and facing disciplinary action decided upon by the Officers and myself.If an Officer asks for a conversation to end, no matter the topic, if they have deemed it necessary to step in and end a conversation that is there right and judgement. Continuing or making statements/comments/responses to the Officer especially argumentative or back talking will be taken as disrespecting said Officer.Respecting Officers and Leadership on decisions and judgements needs to be prevalent and maintained for all the work they do keeping everything going and running despite any feelings you have towards them. If you have an issue forward it up the chain to a higher up as a concern or to another Officer so it can be discussed civilly and brought up during a meeting or between the Officers.If you have a problem occur please bring it up with the Guild master, Co Guild Master, or One of our officers found on the discord.IC Rules, the Laws of Darnassus
1. Theft
• Darnassus is amongst those lucky enough to find themselves free of homelessness, poverty, and hunger. The wilds provide in abundance for the Children of the Stars, securing them meats, fish, fruit, vegetables, grain, nuts, water, and spirits aplenty. The woods twist and turn to make their humble yet comfortable carved homes.Theft is no problem within the Kaldorei society for this reason, in fact most homes have no doors even and aside from privacy curtains lay the home open to the world around its inhabitants. Their possessions, aside from ancient family heirlooms, are also the gifts of the wild. Given these blessings, with thanks to both Elune and Cenarius for them, the thought of stealing does not even cross the regular Kaldorei’s mind.However, with the arrival of the Alliance forces and Horde within their lands, the Kaldorei may come to expect thievery more often. They are not against locking a person up for life if the crime demands it, and with how long their lives are they can wait a long, long time in both pursuing a criminal and seeing to it that they spend the remainder of their days behind bars under a Warden’s watchful eye.For lesser crimes, community service is common. However, mortal races may find the year allotment of these elves to be much more harsh than they would have expected a human court to give.Best to not let sticky fingers wander.2. Murder
• The Kaldorei are not unknowing of murder or kidnapping. Acts of kidnapping, torture, passion, premeditated murder, assassination of political adversaries, and vigilantism are all disallowed.It is best to report petty disputes to the Sentinels or patrolling guards before things come to blows. Taking a life is paid with a life in prison.3. Arcane, Frost, and Fire Magic
• Due to the dangers of the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago and the Exile of the Highborne 7,300 years ago - the Kaldorei disallow Arcane practices within their lands due to the dangers they present the world of Azeroth.The magic they use instead (Starshards, Mana Burn, Arcane Shot) is called Astral or Spellstorm.This magic was gifted to Hunters, Priests, and Druids by Elune through the Moonkin.Alchemy and Enchanting are allowed, although practitioners may at times have to defend their acts should they veer too far into the Arcane Arts. This has lead many a young Kaldorei who was not present for the world sundering wars to question the laws or go beyond them in search of a breakthrough.It can be assumed that some members of the military are allowed to learn about the Arcane arts in order to better combat them. Example groups being Wardens, Watchers, Sentinels, and Sisterhood Priestesses and Druids for dispelling.Foreign diplomats may receive a statement by their governing body premising them the use of magic within the Kaldorei lands for the purpose of the Alliance, Cenarion Circle, denizens of Theramore, and Earthen Ring as these are actions the world requires now that the Burning Legion has found Azeroth again.4. Void/Old God Magic
• Due to the War of the Shifting Sands, the Kaldorei do not look fondly upon anything that draws power from the Old Ones. Not to be confused with the magic granted by the Dark Side of Elune which through shadows grants safety and peace, shadow magic supplied by Dark Entities is not to be trusted. If you are willing to renounce the Void/Old Gods, there may be a chance to talk however.5. Demonic Magic and the Fel
• Right to jail. If not dead. If you are willing to renounce the Fel, there may be a chance to talk however.6. Corruption of the Forests
Any found to be intentionally corrupting the forests and woods of the Kaldorei lands by any means shall be held to justice by the full extent of Kaldorei law.7. Dryads & Other Holy Creatures
As forces of nature, unless corrupted a Dryad is most often allowed to do as she pleases. They are revered as the Children of Cenarius. Other holy beings such as Moonkin, and sabers are to be given respect unless necessity calls for action.Issues & ResolutionsCertain political figures sometimes use their social standing to avoid jail time. RP this with caution to avoid god gaming. Examples of this are both Tyrande (murder of the Wardens), and Staghelm (attempted assassination of Malfurion). However, it is perfectly understandable for the people to protest this and may take matters into their own hands.Likewise, if someone makes a Dryad and it is just to troll behaving completely against the lore of a dryad, we can ignore them.If an international member of the Alliance has committed crimes, they will be extradited to their land of origin who shall be held liable for the costs of their damages under the expectation that they shall be held accountable in their own lands.Horde may not be as lucky…If you find yourself breaking one of these laws (EX, you are a demon hunter who was caught and now seeks redemption) please visit the Private Discussion Queue to discuss with officers where to go next. We always wish to preserve player freedom of movement while keeping IC repercussions reasonable.Thank you for reading!
