[US Castus] The Ashen Realm | PVX RP | CST | Raiding
Discord: https://discord.gg/R58waXVu

The Ashen Realm is an up and coming community of diverse people that are coming together with the common goal of making friends to enjoy games with. Inclusion, Community, and Transparency are the main pillars of the guild.

Every Saturday, except for Holidays or rare occasions, we will have an open forum Town Hall meeting where every member will have an opportunity to be heard; major guild decisions will be made in the Town Hall meetings.

Our Goals

We're all here playing an MMORPG, the reason we play an MMORPG rather than other games is because the MMO part; we are all here for social interactions with other players. Here at the Ashen Realm our goal is to form close friendships and give players opportunities to meet friends. Some of my closest friends throughout my life have been people I met through MMOs and stayed in contact with for years.

If you want to make friends and have some good laughs while still pushing the limits of what your character can do in Ashes of Creation, you will fit right in.

Roleplay within the realm

The guild is structured after a feudal realm, as you can see in our rank system (below). Light roleplay is heavily encouraged, "Out of Character" conversations will be the majority of the conversations we have; but I know I'll be referring to people by their rank, such as "Count so-and-so" or "Archdutchess whats-her-face". Being a lord of the realm is part of the fun.

We also plan on having community events, including Hide n Seeks, Themed Fashion/Transmog Contest, and other fun events that allow guild members to mingle and make memories they'll cherish for years.

Our Experience

I've been been raiding in MMOs since 2008 and leading raids since 2014ish, include on very hardcore servers and intend to form at least one 40-man raid group within this guild to push to our characters to their limits.

Our other forming member was a veteran of WoW's Arena system and is bringing a lot of PvP experience to the guild. We aren't strictly a PvP guild and won't go looking for enemies, but we are going to defend our own.

How to Join

Below is our Discord, feel free to join the server and begin to hang out. When the servers go live Friday I will make the guild and begin sending out invites to everybody in the discord server who wants one. We're going to play on the Vyra server.

When you join the discord, we have Discord Onboarding enabled and it will ask you what content you're interested in and assign you roles, but you can always change your answers later.

Other Games

Both founding members play a lot of TTRPGs; believe it or not the DND 3E (not 3.5) Player is one of the first books I can remember reading. I would read it as my parents drove me to school. We both currently play Pathfinder 2E, though I am currently enamored with Lancer. The non-TTRPG board game that we're currently obsessed with is Flamecraft.

Between the two of us, we collectively have like 3,000 hours of Rimworld and probably 2,000 of that is using the Multiplayer mod to play together. We also have like 600 hours of PlateUp between us, and host MMO Kitchen lobbies on the PlateUp discord somewhat regularly.

Inclusivity

I will put this as bluntly as can be put. Everyone is welcome within the realm. There is zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, or any other type of discrimination. If you mistreat people because of who they are, don't bother joining.

Community
We're all here to make friends and the Ashen Realm is here to give you opportunities to make these friendships.

Transparency
I've been playing MMOs for over 15 years at this point, and be in the seat of guild leader for most of those years. I have learned over the years that open transparency is the only way to run a guild in the long run. Our weekly town halls will ensure that every decision has complete transparency on why it was made.

Also as a follow up, I'll be hanging out in the voice chat of the discord for the next little while. If you join, feel free to hop in and talk!

With the new server Castus going live tomorrow, we are going to stand the guild up there instead.
