“It is agreed then”, Keeper Winterwind says as he rises and straightens his robes. He squints at the rising sun, stretches and returns his attention to the four Kaldorei before him.

The others scramble to their feet also. It has been a long night with high emotions and exhaustion is apparent on the faces of the weary Kaldorei present.

Kaldur approaches Lomenár.

“Commander Nightsinger... I charge you with the responsibility and training of the Blackmoon Sentinels. They will be the elite fighters of the Order. On the battlefields they will be merciless and never show fear in the face of horror. Their battle cries will freeze the blood of our enemies until the moment when it is spilled. They will strike relentlessly at anyone who threatens the Kaldorei. Do you accept this charge?”

Lomenár kneels before the Keeper and bows her head.

“I accept and pledge my blood, my strength and my arrows. Our enemies shall be witness to all.”

Kaldur nods sombrely at Lomenár and turns toward Eavya.

“High Priestess Morninglight... I charge you with the responsibility and training of the Guardians of the Moon. They will be the casters of the Order. On the battlefields our Sentinels will rely on their aid – be it healing of wounds, strengthening of force or destruction of our enemies. The might of the Guardians shall only be surpassed by their compassion. Do you accept this charge?”

Eavya kneels before the Keeper and bows her head.

“I accept and pledge my heart, my mind and the power of Elune bestowed in me. No member of the Order shall ever suffer unnecessarily.”

Kaldur smiles benevolently at Eavya and turns toward Theraluin.

“And you, Archmage Dawnspire, will be working closely with the High Priestess as leader of the Wardens of Enlightenment. They will be the Mages of the Order. By the hands of our Wardens, our enemies will learn to fear the elements. Do you accept this charge?”

Theraluin sighs and bows his head.

“I accept your wish Keeper. Failure is not an option.”

Kaldur smiles thoughtfully at Theraluin and turns toward Jondalar.

“Grand Shan’do Greenfury... You, I charge with the responsibility and education of the Wildhearts of Cenarius. The Wildhearts will be the protectors of nature and restorers of balance. They will fight as beasts or beside them. Their ferocity in battle shall strike fear in our enemies and only be surpassed by their empathy for flora and fauna. Do you accept this charge?”

Jondalar kneels before the Keeper and bows his head.

“I accept and pledge to honour and respect this oath I have taken this night. I call upon Cenarius and the Divine Goddess Elune that I may be filled with the light, love and truth in all I do. I promise to uphold the Druidic virtues with my thoughts, my words and my deeds. I pledge that any magic I perform will be for the highest good of all...”

“Yes, yes... that will not be necessary Greenfury”, Kaldur interrupts with a smirk. “An “I accept” will suffice. Just make sure that you behave and do not scare of any Wildhearts by either impropriety or zealous attitudes.”

Jondalar looks up with a disappointed frown, “I accept the charge, Keeper...”

Kaldur clasps his hands in front of him.

“And so it begins...”

Natures Grasp has just passed its 6th birthday and is one of the oldest and most renowned guilds on Defias Brotherhood. We are a Kaldorei only guild and usually found around Darnassus and in Kalimdor, although we are known to help our allies in the east too. We are actively seeking new members to join the Order and help us defeat the threats to our lands, ensure the safety of the realm in general and keep Kaldorei role-playing alive and strong!

We are an RP guild first and foremost and we have no level requirements. We only require that you are playing a Kaldorei and we are always looking for and welcoming high quality role-players to match those already in the Order (perhaps a good reason to roll a Kaldorei?). New to role-play or seasoned veteran – all are welcome.

Since server start the Order has transformed several times under various leaders. We have now come full circle and have returned to a three-wing Order that should satisfy the needs of all sorts of characters and personalities. We do accept Mages but they will not be accepted with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. The current Mages have fought hard to earn the trust of the Order and even they have only slightly reduced the IC tension regarding Mages in the guild. Perhaps you can be the next one to help improve the relations?

Note: We do not allow Death Knights. While we are more liberal than some we are still heavily into the Kaldorei culture which abhors DKs.

For more information (Also on Kaldorei Lore, guides, etc), and to apply, head over to our forums.

Or contact our leaders: Keeper Kaldur, Commander Lomenár, High Priestess Eavya, Archmage Theraluin or Grand Shan’do Jondalar - or any of their current seniors: Frostfeather, Aariam and Shaktaekurte via whisper or in-game letter.

Deli would love to run into some more elves at some point. Not stormwind elves, "real" elves.

So far I havn't been successful in running into a big group. What locations do you guys do non-event related plays (I wouldnt want to intrude) and at what times are there usually people playing? "Darnassus and in Kalimdor" is a bit broad...

[Frostfeather]

Now level 25, baby!

So hard to give a direct answer to that. We usually do guild meetings Thursdays and we usually use the guard house (big house on the Teldrassil border). Other than that it depends on so many factors. "/who natures" is your best bet really.
