Who We Are
The Shadarim was originally founded on May 15th, 2009 as a result of a number of players coming together who wanted to join an active quality Forsaken-based RP guild when few- if any- previously existed. As such, the Shadarim membership is 100% Forsaken and loyal only to Sylvanas- not necessarily the Horde. The Shadarim exists as a maverick "special forces" military unit based both off the Deathguards and the Deathstalkers, although previous service in either is not required to enlist into the Shadarim, and previous military rank (if any) does not apply. The Shadarim does not hold any responsibilities in law enforcement. At its core, the Shadarim is a heavy RP guild that typically inhabits Brill and engages in regular PvP activity including battleground premades, world-PvP against the Alliance, and Wintergrasp. The Shadarim coordinates OOC'ly with Alliance RP-PvP guilds for world-PvP events.
As of late October 2009, the Shadarim (or "Religious Emissaries" translated from the Zionist movement) has evolved into more of a military cultist organization, worshiping Sylvanas Windrunner as a messiah of the Forsaken people and even offering religious rites and sacrifices in her name. The group works tirelessly to advance the goals and objectives of both the Forsaken and their Dark Lady, but maintains the 'typical military unit' reputation amongst their Horde allies. Unsurprisingly, there are some who have come to suspect ulterior motives driving the Shadarim's agenda forward. The Shadarim follows a concise dogma (detailed below) which promotes general cloak-and-dagger approaches to eliminating problems rather than brute force and direct confrontation, although the unit does not shy from employing the latter means if the situation calls for it.
Since the Shadarim is an in-character guild, characters will join the guild in-character and- if circumstances warrant- will be removed in-character. However, in the event a player causes severe distress to fellow guildmates in an OOC manner, a character may be removed out-of-character as well.
How To Join
While the guild is 100% Forsaken, the guild is not mechanically 100% Forsaken. As such, characters who are not mechanically Forsaken but are roleplayed as being Forsaken and loyal to Sylvanas will satisfy the conditions required to join the Shadarim. For example, a High-Elf (who uses the Blood-Elf race for appearance) that was slain in Quel'Thalas during the Scourge invasion and was later freed, swearing fealty to the Forsaken and Sylvanas, would satisfy the conditions to join the Shadarim. While the Forest Trolls of Quel'Thalas would also make suitable candidates for the Shadarim, Orcs and Tauren would be exceedingly rare considering their racial history and loyalty to the Horde.
Joining the Shadarim is almost a 100% in-character process, carried out through an in-character interview done by either Belaris, Lyñn, or Talderis. Characters may be tested for loyalty or called upon to prove themselves in some way as viable candidates, so be prepared! Regardless of the character, an out-of-character sense of humor and easygoing attitude are great assets when joining the Shadarim's out-of-character community. Inactivity of 30 days or more without prior notice will result in pruning. This is NOT a raiding guild.
Mail or directly contact either Belaris, Lyñn(alt-164), Tienith, or Talderis should you have questions or wish to arrange an interview. You can also post IC here on these message boards.
