[A] The Snow-born (Website!)

The Snow-Born have merged with the Vaetirr OOC, IC we have joined forces with the Vaetirr to increase the chances of survival for both our tribes! We are simple 2 tribes under one roof
We now have a website to promote our northren rp!! www.thevaetirr.guildportal.com

History:

Fifteen thousand years ago,when the Curse of Flesh began to affect the unborn children of the vrykul.King Ymirion blamed the gods for abandoning them and ordered to kill the "deformed" children in order to keep the vrykul race pure.But some parents did not obey this new law,instead they fled to the south and some deeper in the north with their children,wanting to stay close to that which they were familiar with.The vrykul called their children “Snow-Born”, for that’s what they were,born in snow.They taught their children as much as they could about their heritage and about the gods,while being on the constant move from King Ymiron forces.

Over time less and less vrykul ventured the North with their children until eventually they disappeared,no one knew what had happened to them.And as the years went by and the tribe grew and expand,so did their culture.They based their culture and beliefs on their ancestors and of the races they met.

Before the Sundering occured,the Snow-Born encountered Night-elves.They taught them about the Ancient creatures that roamed the forests and how to preserve nature.When the tribe discovered that the dragons had a direct link with the Titans, They decided to call them gods.The Zandalari trolls in those days were having trouble with tribal skirmishes and for a brief moment the tribes traded with each other,supplies and resources in exchange to teach them about Voodoo and the Loa.The tribe believed that this might be a way to communicate with their ancestors spirits and their passed loved ones for advice and knowledge.

About ten thousand years ago,the tribe noticed a change in the environment.Creatures were fleeing,hunting was getting more difficult.Then all of the sudden demons decended from the skies and roaming the forests.They saw dragon fly with haste and even fight among themselves.The tribe did their best to fight off these demons,many had died.Then the skies turned dark and massive earthquakes were felt throughout the earth,when suddenly a massive explosion shattered Kalimdor.After the Sundering of the Well,the world got shattered and the great continent splits in pieces.The tribe at the moment was on the northren part of the land when it happened.All the tribe could do was adapt.

One day almost 800 years before the First war.One of the elders called Mina,the One-mother,was part of the sect within the tribe.She awoke violently one day,yelling throughout the tribe that they must leave their site immidiatly.The tribe obeyed the respected middle-aged woman and broke up camp.When they established a new site far from the Storm peaks,Mina sat on a hill and watched it for days,even weeks.People knew she had received a vision from Ysera,but what did she see?All of the sudden the skies turned dark and a great storm erupted throughout the north.Mina sensed a great evil in the Storm peaks, there were energies hovering over that place and then it vanished.Mina said that it had not vanished,it was still lingering…and moving.

One day the tribe witnessed an object falling from the skies and landing in Icecrown.People disregarded it as something like a falling star and continued their lives.But then they noticed creatures like the yeti were acting strange,some appeared almost as dead.The tribe thought that maybe there was a decease going around,but they were not sure.From now on they were careful with what they hunt.

When the tribe roamed Dragonblight for a while,they came across strange corpses looking like spider-like humanoids.And they also came across undead spiders who seemed to have a dead body but still live.The tribe declared it as something unholy,an abomination.The moved away from Dragonblight and became aware that there is something brewing on the northern lands.

Fara,the Wicked.Received a vision one day.A vision that could herald the end of the tribe.She saw within this vision a stranger walking over the artic lands with darkness hovering over him.He was going towards the ruins of the spider humanoids who had once lived there,and with it she saw the tribe burning and creatures of undead roaming the lands.

As the days turn to weeks and weeks turned into a year,a great tragedy befell the tribe.As the Scourge was getting more and more control over the artic lands,they took notice of the tribe aswell.One of the members,Katrina the flame-tamer,was enthralled of the lich king and lured the scourge to the grizzly hills to where the tribe was at the time.The tribe got burned down and killed only to turn into undeath.The survivers were scattered across the lands and even beyond to look for safety. Other were forced to convert to the wolfcult or else killed and turned into undeath,a faith that no Snow-Born wanted.

As the tribe tried to rebuild,they noticed strange energies coming from Icecrown,from the skies they witnessed strange lightning hitting the top of Icecrown.They believed that maybe the gods had heared them and used their powers to end the scourge.

The tribe started to notice that there were more colonies coming to Northrend.They thought it would be good for trading,but then they saw how reckless these colonies were,overkilling animals,cutting down forests,causing yet another war.The Snow-born had enough of it and decided to only interact with the alliance in times of need.Around that time they also saw that their ancestral race were walking these lands again.The tribe was excited and wanted to interact with the vrykul,to see how they were like?But they did not see it coming that the vrykul have sided with the scourge.So it showed that the Lich king was not yet defeated.

Some time later rumors were heard saying that the death god yogg-saron had been defeated.And with it came a vision by one of the elders,he saw the lich king fall.

When the shattering happened,the artic lands didn’t feel much of it,except for some earthquakes.It was only late after a month or so that Dragonblight started to get affected by it,with remnants of the old gods reappearing and cultists causing havoc everywhere.The tribe also witnessed deathwing flying over the lands.

After deathwings defeat,Northrend was finally quiet again,no more wars,no more scourge.Ocationally the tribe would encounter some leftovers of the scourge and they try to defeat them and return balance again.What is dead,should stay dead. Now the tribe also tries to help heal the land and continue their lives.Now there are more and more members returning to the north to start over again.

About the tribe:

The Snow-born are a nomadic tribe moving from one site to another trying not to damage nature too much.The Snow-born live of the hunt and whatever nature has to offer us. We also trade with villages/travellers/cities to gain supplies (merchant rp right here! Or entertain for money (nothing sexual please) ).We will occationally scavange in warzones or try to plunder a dungeoun.(IC dungeoun/raid runs and maybe help out on pvp events).

Sargeras= He is known as the Betrayer. He is the Lord of the Burning Legion.

(The ancients are respected but not worshipped.)

OOC:

Travel= Our home is and will always be Northrend.This is where we will spent most of our time,but during that time our supplies (clothes,furs to keep us warm,money,medicine,etc.) can and will run out.SO we are forced to travel to the other continents for supplies. This is how the route will usually be, we travel once a month daily to cross Azeroth and Outland to find more resources. Once we have done our route,we make our way back to Northrend where we will stay for the rest of the month.

Merchant/entertainment= to gain supplies we need money and to receive money we need to sell things.We can do that by selling items, or trying to entertain people for money (again nothing sexual please), or we can offer our help to others ( like per example helping others in rp-pvp events,if we're closeby, or going in dungeoun to slay something or retrieve something,etc.).

Dress code= try to dress a bit tribal-ish or at least dress up warm for the artic cold.BUT i'm not forcing anyone,just want to create the feel that we are indeed a tribe.

Racial mounts=Mammoths,bears,rams,protodrakes, basicly animals that can survive the artic cold.

We accept all races,but please note to be an original tribesman is by being born inside the tribe. Any race could've been that. And a friend of the tribe were outsiders who joined the tribe. Both ranks require that your char has some history with the tribe. BUT if you do not want to,then we can just make you a friend of the tribe who recently joined us.

Ranks:

Chief of the tribe= well that's me.The head will never be higher then anyone else,the head is equal to the rest of tribe.If she/he decides something,she/he will do so together with the rest of the tribe.In charge of keeping the peace between other tribes and traders.

Seidman=They are the magic casters of the tribe. They guide use spiritually and commune with the spirits to ask for advice during times of need or grant us blessings during marriages,births or coming of age ceremonies. there are 4 types of seidman; Runemasters(use runes to invoke certain powers), Tricksters (they use illusions,shapeshifting,teleporting,can meddle with their opponents mind and can even use elemental magic), Soulweavers ( they practice voodoo to commune with our ancestors but NOT the loa, we fear them) and Preservers (they try to restore nature where it's damadged, help heal people, help clear away corruption of any kind)

Barberian=They make sure the tribe stays safe at all times,They hunt to provide food for the tribe.Kind of like bodyguars/warriors of the tribe.

tribesman=A full member of the tribe.The simple folk,entertainers,merchants,children,teens,seniors. you can also help with the hunt and to tasks like the beserker, but it is not your main responsibility.

friend of the tribe= they are not originally tribesmen,but friends who have gained such respect that they are now part of the tribe as well.Or outsiders who wish to join this tribe,you do not have to be converted to be in the tribe but don't try to convert US with your religion.Your tasks can be any of the higher ranks.Want to go hunting? go ahead.Want to sell some stuff? go ahead!

newcomer= This rank will give you time to get used to the guild,to see if you really want this type of rp or not and to decide wich rank you want to be promoted to.


for this guild your char requires to have some history with the tribe, if not then we can just place you as a friend of the tribe for those who do not wish to have a history with us.

Heres hoping to some inter-tribe RP!

Will be fun, cant wait to eat people <3

Never mind.. my last post -_- people dont like me in that guild cuz im very open and emotional person yet more people that dont like me Yeahhhhh.....

Maybe they dont like you cos you want to eat them.

True... I wouldn't like to be eaten.

Dat irony.

Is this happening still?! I'd really like to play a char for it after watching that show Vikings

It is very much still happening, Elsa and I are in the process of joining our two guilds together OOC, but IC both tribes will still exist. The guild used will be the Vaetirr, though. So if/when you decide to join on a character, whisper someone in the Vaetirr. (And of course, you can still decide which Tribe you belong to.)

That's actually really cool, you're going to have an over-all tribal guild while ICly two different tribes.

Damn, best of luck with this.

hehehee

Let the Dawn of the tribes commence!! mhuahahahaha

^^
