The Frostbrand Marines Recruitment Poster

[Clovis]

(OOC Note: Below is a copy of a poster, printed in legible Common. It can be found scattered about the bars and gathering spots of most port cities.)

"Hrothgar's Landing is an island located off the northern coast of Icecrown, an island formerly home to a tuskarr village until it was conquered by Drottinn Hrothgar and his kvaldir. The island is now a mist-shrouded staging point from which the kvaldir, the "sea vrykul" of the North. There they stage attacks against Silver Covenant and Sunreavers' ships in the waters between the island and Icecrown."

The Frostbrand Marines are a Non-Profit Military organization that will be mobilizing for a series of naval battles against Kvaldir forces around the island, as well as planning for a land battle to gain territory, displace Kvaldir forces and access mineral and aquatic resources. In order to avoid more aggressive, high causality combat between Horde and Alliance forces over who is able to lay claim to the island, the force will be setting up shop and making Hrothgar's Landing a neutral port that can be used freely by all factions.

In addition, we will be combating piracy and other rogue elements in the waters and shores of Northrend. By curbing rampant piracy in the area, Alliance, Horde, and Neutral factions should see a modest boon to their economies with increased, safe naval trading between the mainland and Northrend ports.

Our vessel is a well armed Second War frigate able to hold a large crew and ample supplies. We will have access to this ship within the next week or two, and will be setting sail once sufficient crewmen have been amassed. Additional crewmen may join even while the ship has set sail, and can be brought aboard with the aid of our magic users.

The Frostbrand Marines attempt to take Hrothgar's Landing will rely on speed and guile. We accept all races, with the exception of Forsaken & Ebon Bladesmen.

The death of the Lich King does not mean peace and happiness around the world. The Vyrkul, rogue undead, and other hostile forces still exist on Northrend. There is still a battle to be won.

Let us bring the war to Kvaldir, their mists will not hide them forever. For Azeroth!

[Miah]

(( So by signing up Miah as a navigator she makes officer position? Neat. Is there a limit to the amount of people in the guild, and in each role?))

[Clovis]

( Whoops. Need to delete that. Officer positions are Vanguard and Lieutenant. )

[Miah]

( Aw How would one go about reaching that level...? )

[Clovis]

( Vanguards are chosen among each rank in order to police the others and make sure they don't act like crazies or criminals. A Vanguard is chosen based on their service to the organization and activity, as well as being an all around good roleplayer. Lieutenant's are chosen by entirely different standards. Usually, a Lieutenant's abilities have little to do with combat. Lieutenant's are expected to be good Leaders and be able to work together to ensure the guild's effective running in my absence. )

( Aside from those two ranks, the rest of the guild is completely equal. )

[Miah]

( So, the Vanguards will be chosen at a later date based on performance and conduct or something? )

[Binkleheimer]

(That puts Wil out of the picture for officership.)

[Clovis]

( So, the Vanguards will be chosen at a later date based on performance and conduct or something? )

Two have already been chosen, but needless to say, more will be picked out in the future as they are needed.

(That puts Wil out of the picture for officership.)

Not entirely, it could always give your character a reason to aspire to be less of a drunk, and more respectable, in order to be considered for Vanguard. =p

[Edgar]

(( Do you happen to have a cook yet? ))

[Clovis]

( Several, but there's always room for more. We have a big ship!

[Lynoa06]

(( There's something that just strikes me upon reading this post.

A ship is refered to "her", not "its", and "she", not "it". This might seem unimportant, but real sailors would never mistake the grammatical gender of their working tools. ))

[Piroska]

Clovis isn't a real sailor. He's made that abundantly clear in-game. In fact, I don't think a single one of the officers know anything about ships and sailing.

[Tyr]

(( I'd be very interested in joining this, if you guys are still up-and-running. I've been meaning to get back in the game (literally), and this seems like the perfect way to do so. My character, Erminas, is a Paladin, and would as such fit well into the Healer-category. ))

[Clovis]

Clovis isn't a real sailor. He's made that abundantly clear in-game. In fact, I don't think a single one of the officers know anything about ships and sailing.

*Sniffle* I've crashed the ship into like, seven light houses by now.

That being said, yes Tyr, we're still active. Myself, Xigo, Anklin, or Paleran can give you a proper interview ingame.

For now, I'm off to work!
