The Crown Crossbones Company,
A forsaken only guild
First off, I would like to thank Sadok (Orcs of the Red Blade) for providing the idea and initial guidelines for this guild.
What is the goal of this guild?
The goal of the guild will shift as times goes by and the number of members would increase. It would start out small, a band of marauding troops each with his own field of expertise. The guild is extremely loyal to the banshee queen and carries a letter of marque, (supposedly) signed by the dark lady herself.
The main focus will initially be to refill the money-coffers of the forsaken nation, since these have been most likely dwindled in volume as a lot of resources have been spent sending troops to Northrend, equipping and building an army to invade Gilneas and most recently Ogrimmar). It will therefore be very active all over Azeroth and of course the new Draenor.
The goal would gradually shift towards more of a private army as numbers would increase, carrying the forsaken banner proudly to the fields of battle and ‘assisting’ their allies when needed and thus introducing PVP into the guild as well.
Why forsaken only?
The Forsaken are distrustful and even slightly xenophobic (in some cases) by nature and do not mix well with the other races of Azeroth, shunned by most and feared by others. Moreover the forsaken nation is a very tight community and the only people they seem to trust are they themselves. It would therefor only be logical for a group with this specific goal and loyalty in mind that it would consist solely of forsaken.
Will there be a religious aspect?
Most certainly, although do not expect something like a holy order or a cult, we do not necessarily do things in name of our religion, rather in name of our nation. That being said each member is free to follow religion to their own extend. Of course we would have priests preaching the word of the Forgotten Shadow (since we are forsaken the holy light is out of the question) before a battle or mission but weekly sermons or holy doctrine is not a thing the guild would focus on.
Will there be military training?
If you mean days specifically reserved for marching around and taking orders from a drill instructor then no (except for the real soldiers of course). Of course there is room for members to train amongst themselves but the guild is not
What is the guilds stance on the other races?
We are hostile to all the other races that do not belong to the horde, we carry a letter of marque after all and thus nothing of the alliance is sacred. Pillaging small camps, torturing prisoners, killing patrols, boarding ships. If it is painful and not good for the alliance, we do it.
Our official stance on races of the horde is that we are their allies, we may not like them all very much but that doesn’t stop us from occasionally working with them. Again this is free for every member to interpret but you will get slapped on the wrist (or worse) if you get caught deviating from the official stance (this is of course handled in character).
What would the structure of the guild look like?
It will be based on the four quarters of the forsaken capital with some elements mixed together.
Here are the ranks and titles within the CCC as of today.
1. Captain, the Guild Master Rank
---
2. Quartermaster, this is a officer who concerns himself with the armaments of the troops and general distribution supplies.
2. Chaplain, this is a officer who concerns himself with the spiritual well being of the members of the Crown Crossbones Company.
2. High Artificer, this is a officer who concerns himself with the shady business.
2. Scholar, this is a officer who concerns himself with research and the acquisition of research (through any means necessary).
---
3. Deathmarine, the name says it all, the grunt of the Company, and used on the front-lines during battle.
3. Cleric, a follower of the Forgotten Shadow, he studies the ways of it carefully and answers mainly to the Chaplain. They are also the main healers of the ccc.
3. Artificer, a man (or woman) of the shadows, a artificer focuses himself on the shady and dark.
3. Scribe, a man (or woman) of science. This is a member who has devoted his unlife to the research of forgotten artifacts, tomes and acquires these by any means necessary.
---
4. Sailor (marine), a member of the guild who has proven himself through a number of events and is clearly ready to step it up. Once a member is a supplicant he or she will have to choose a path, be it Artificer, Cleric or Soldier.
---
5. Sailor (swabby), a rank for fresh members who haven't joined in on roleplay events yet or are under review for official application.
