Guild:Island Of Pashar

Island Of Pashar [Ruah]
In the misty waters to the west Fahranur, miles away from the Istani coast, is the long-forgotten Island of Pashar. For centuries, the ancient buildings have been quietly consumed by nature, but recent restorations have returned all but the oldest of them to their former glory. Now, once again, humans walk these shores. The island, once the headquarters of an ancient djinnmaster, has since become the headquarters of a fledgling guild, known simply as the Scarabs.

When they first got started, the Scarabs were a motley bunch from all across the known world. The guild lacked purpose and direction, and was all but torn apart by internal conflict and external dangers. However, just when it seemed all was lost for the Scarabs, things began to change.

Scholars, djinnmasters, Vabbian nobles, wandering monks and mercenaries have joined forces to resurrect the Elemental Academy of Pashar. Decimated by the Scarab Plague in the 600's DR, the academy was originally going to be a place where Sunspears could study djinn binding and elemental magic. Now, however, the academy is to be a place where many arts and magics can be studied, with actual binding reserved only for a select few.

For those not welcome at the academy, or with no interest in it, the Island of Pashar is not without appeal. It is a beautiful place, hidden away from the rest of the world and (most of) its dangers. If you're simply in need of a place to snack on shrimp and relax in the golden sun, Pashar could be considered an ideal destination. There are opportunities for employment in the Galley, and free lodging in the boats moored in the Northwestern Harbor. There are almost always interesting people around to socialize with. And the Scarabs still exist, though what the guild's members are up to is a little hard to discern these days. ..

Ruah is a guild with a strong OOC base, and one of the few roleplaying guilds still active in Guild Wars. We work hard to cultivate a relaxed, fun atmosphere, where fellowship and good roleplaying are prevalent. However, IC, let the drama rage! Pleasant and unpleasant characters are welcome, so long as they are well-developed and credible. Whether our characters are hacking each other to pieces, falling in love, or just talking about the weather, we're forming friendships on the side and enjoying the show.

Ruah has no age restrictions for our members, but we do deal with mature content IC-- violence, language, sexual content, etc. We expect all of our members to be prepared to handle these themes.

Recruitment
If you’re the sort of person who reads the lore articles on this site, who puts a great deal of time into developing the personality and backstory of your character, who responds favorably to critique and is not afraid to give it, then Ruah might be the place for you. Originally founded June 13th, 2010 by Lady Alasse and Caelan Sorel, Ruah is committed to keeping roleplaying alive in a time when it has all but disappeared from the Guild Wars community.

Joining Ruah is difficult, because we hold our members to high standards. We try to only invite people we think will fit into the community we’ve created. If you want to join the guild, expect us to take our time getting to know you, both in and out of character. Please keep in mind that one of the first things we will look at in potential new members is the way they type. (if ur talking like this, ur less likely 2 get an invite)

If you want to become associated with Ruah, to learn what we’re about and to get to know us better, contact us! We often roleplay in the international districts of towns and outposts, and we welcome roleplayers of all experience levels to join in with us. This RPing is done in local chat, using trade chat for our characters’ thoughts, and team chat or ((double parentheses)) for OOC chat. We love meeting new roleplayers. Even if you never intend to join our guild, please feel free to whisper us and ask if there’s any RPing going on. You’ll likely have the best luck between 11 PM and 3 AM Eastern time, when more of us tend to be online.
