Welcome to the Apostles, Branded one...
PvX | NA | EST
Min Age: 18+ please ~ Guild features adults & cursing in good fun
“Stacking the cobblestones to reach the castle in the sky.”
-We are the Apostles of the Abyss-
A dedicated PvX Ashes of Creation guild with the goal of creating & maintaining an active & welcoming community in order to make our mark within the game. We will rely on & work with each other to progress & succeed in the most daunting of tasks. As a guild, we will persistently strive to excel in all areas & aspects of the game, welcoming anyone regardless of their style of play. We are recruiting casual & hardcore; crafter, raider, dungeoneer, pvper, or anything inbetween. If you are looking to form lasting relationships that go beyond the boundaries of clocking in & clocking out for raids, this might be the place for you.
Our Guild is compartmentalized to ensure operational efficiency. We want to maintain a tight-knit community feeling while being able to wage war on the largest of fronts and raiding to the deepest of delves. Artisans can find each other easily and theorycraft market strategies, pvp-centric players have areas and structure entirely dedicated to them. Our contract system within the guild and eventual Alliance offerings will allow these people to communicate, contract work, participate in guild-hosted events as well as in-game ones while continuing to thrive. Raiders will shine with fellow excited PvE enthusiasts, & homestead + tavern and building a strong reputation for ourselves as a Guild that will last the ages and be part of bards silver-tonged melodies.

We are extremely well-organized. It is our dream to have a fully integrated community of Artisans, Battle-Masters, Diplomats, Monks, Priests, Adepts of Magic, Merchants, Smugglers, Bounty Hunters, & fortune-seekers alike & are aiming for Guild~Size 300/Max with potential ancillary Guilds in the future. Being a Metropolis major Patron is our first goal laying the stones to royalty.

We are LGBTQ+ Inclusive & Protective.

Raiding
We will have at minimum 2 full Raid Groups, possibly more depending on demand.
For us, Raids shouldn't fall on responsibility to just one person. We will have multiple leaders available to us and each Raid will be also equipped with Class Leaders / Researchers as well so that we can journey, learn, & dominate together.
When we approach Beta 1 - Raid Leaders, Dungeon Masters (Raid Assistants in this case), & Class Leaders will form the foundation of each Raid Group, they will commune and set up a schedule best for that Raid's leadership, and we will begin advertising for schedules and times for those that will appreciate time to prepare in anticipation of launch.
Interior Factions:
~ God Hand ~
Central Guild Council / Leadership. The ruling 5 are closely plugged into various areas of the Guild & help guide its success.
~ The War Council ~
This will consist of: God Hand Members, our Bounty / PvP Captain, Shields of the Falcon, & the Siege Captain. They will make all decisions on initiating or defending against threats of war or actual sieges by a majority vote, or only when in emergency and/or a member cannot be reached ~ a supermajority vote must reach consensus!
~ The Shadow Council ~
For now, there are 3. Eventually, at our Prime - we will expand to 5. These Prime voters will handle the source of meta-influence, responses to threats, etc.
~ Artisans Guild ~
We will host events regularly for resource gathering or processing goods. Whether for an upcoming Siege, developing our Node, or constructing ships - the best and brightest of Artisans can become Guild contracted masters. These Artisans will be regularly contracted for Guild projects and developments, as well as outfitting our members with Armour, Weapons, and work very closely with our leadership.
Band of the Falcon ~ Guild Bounty Hunters ~
This is the mercenary wing of our guild. These individual hunters have a very particular set of skills; skills they have acquired over a very long career that will be integral to our success in the grander scale. They will be in charge of asset protection, anti-griefing, group disruption, siege strategies & more. These talented players will earn a cut from guild contracts.
We will seek to form Mercenary opportunities for certain causes we deem worthy - such as protection of certain assets, although if asked to go to war we will have to be hesitant and diligent in our research and responses as a council.
Interested Node Types: We have established 3 primary nodes we are interested in to remain flexible for competition, but such discussions are internal only, apologies.
We will command a Legion, with intertwined denizens & fully integrated community of Artisans, Battle-Masters, Diplomats, Monks, Priests, Adepts of Magic, Merchants, Smugglers, Bounty Hunters, & fortune-seekers alike seeking & maintaining 300 members.[/b]
We will be considering adding ancillary guilds with specialty functions to take advantage of small guild buffs while maintaining an alliance and a unified Discord server.[/i]If you want to learn all about us, our potential, goals, plans, and view a complete FAQ section about us..

We do not currently require Alpha or Beta access for standard members, but we encourage and desire it.
Our numbers grow by the day. We've been overwhelmed with joy seeing the reactions to what we are trying to create and the structure being put into our leadership. We have Alpha & Beta confirmed members ready to stream for us so we can grow and learn together. Join us today~

GRIFFETH!
Huzzah Mate!
We're quite excited to be here as it grows into the most beautiful MMO babeh we've never dared to dream could exist.
"We have more interior factions than listed in the above sections. In our Discord for example, there is a specific thread detailing every post, who owns it or if it is vacant, it's various responsibilities and exactly what opportunities are available to them. This was originally a Google Doc - which spanned 12 pages in length, for sake of everyone's eyes it seemed redundant to post all info here - as well as some of our interior factions have specific goals which we keep internal. If you want to specialize yourself and your path within the game bound to a force to be reckoned with, seek us out soon~"
I hope that suffice to say: We will be well-organized. It would be a dream of ours to have a fully integrated community of Artisans, Battle-Masters, Diplomats, Monks, Priests, Adepts of Magic, Merchants, Smugglers, Bounty Hunters, & fortune-seekers alike in the numbers of 3~500.
I've put an insane amount of hours into fully customizing my Guild's Discord, it's features, channels, permissions, roles, titles, achievement roles, specialty function roles, etc. It looks like this, so if you want a close look at our Template, I set up an imgur gallery here: https://imgur.com/gallery/rv2wxTJ
Also note: In the more recent version, the interior faction of 'Bounty Hunters' is changed to 'Band of the Falcon' & 'Leader of the Hunt' (Bounty Hunter & PvP Captain) was changed to 'Falcon of Light'.
~ Falcon of Light ~ *Bounty Hunter Captain: Position Available ! *
Oversee the day-to-day of the Bounty Hunters Guild. Note the activity of registered hunters, evaluate aspiring hunters, & work closely with the God Hand on importantly both deciding on new policies as well as implementing them in regard to the security of our Influence. Must be an upstanding and trust-worthy individual. We don't want ass-kissers - we want truth, justice, & gd profit.
Will recognize attendance, performance, saves, attempts, etc & be there playing with those Hunters regularly. Will ensure at Council dedicated Hunters are rewarded regularly whenever possible from Guild Funds - or from Player-hosted interior Bounties / Protection contracts placed - etc.
Oversight of the PvPvX factions within the Guild as well as participate in related content regularly:
~Bounty Hunters Guild: Read more on this below!
~Siege Defenders
~Siege Assault Teams
~Caravan Escort / Assault Teams
~PvP Build over-sight & possible training.
Will be expected to answer questions that new players have and accommodate them in learning. We must remember that investing in people will help us thrive long~term.
The Falcon of Light will be able to vote to designate 2 lieutenants that will work closely with them to assist in all matters related to these duties as to ease the burden - and they will carry the Falcon's diplomatic weight and respect as Heralds of the will of the Council. Aptly named the Shield of the Falcon
I am a former officer, I have met the guild master in real life. He randomly accuses people of nonsense things and is a total control freak.
For us, Raids shouldn't fall on responsibility to just one person. We will have multiple leaders available to us and each Raid will be also equipped with Class Leaders / Researchers as well so that we can journey, learn, & dominate together.
Needing Guild Artisan masters! If your dream is to be the most renowned Alchemist in the region/land/continent ~ We want you! If you want to spend your days mining and forging armor.. Let us buy you a nice digital Ale after the day's labor, ya know..... before we do it all over again.
No area will be over-looked for layers of inter-dependency!

We have members building synergy together in:
Several in Final Fantasy XI (Eden), a couple unruly dwarves in Deep Rock Galactic, a couple Black Desert regulars, a few theorycrafters in the Last Epoch Beta prepping us for its release soon, & soon a few pilots ready to take to the stars for Star Wars: Squadrons.
We will be active from the... time we were created.. until the day we are forced to close our doors (hopefully in 6~10 years assuming Ashes is everything we hope it to be.

Taking over Verra starts with building a community. If you are similarly seeking some new friends that are organized, have an eye toward excellence, and offer opportunities for advancement based on merit and participation, I highly recommend visiting us on Discord to see if we're right for you too.
It's a great group that's worth a serious consideration as a home for AoC
