Rules and What we Expect

This is a safe space. As such, any racist, homophobic, or transphobic remarks are strictly forbidden. Any hate-speech in general, as well, is forbidden. Remember that we are LGBT+ friendly, and many of our members, including the GM, are members of the LGBT+ Community.

All members are representatives of the guild. Please be respectful to both other members, and those outside the guild. Treat other folk as you’d like to be treated. If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything.

Please respect the word of the Officers and Guild Master. If you have issues regarding statements that they have given, feel free to whisper or DM the GM (Olyviane) at any time.

Absolutely no speaking of real life religion or politics at any time, for any reason. Amongst yourselves, outside of guild chat or the Discord is fine. Just keep it out of our channels.

We are a 16+ guild – as such, we expect a certain level of maturity. Jokes and fun are expected, however, we do not tolerate those who cannot hold themselves at a level head when it comes to serious matters.

Failure to follow these rules will result in a warning. Continued ignorance of our core rules and guidelines will result in a boot from the guild, as well as a ban from the Discord, or any other communal forums run by HCLLC. Bans may only be revoked by the GM (Olyviane).

Attempting to join the guild on an alternate character will result in another summary kick from the guild, followed by a harassment ticket to Blizzard, should the matter require it.

Haldstan Contractual LLC. reserves the right to remove anyone from the guild, Discord, or other communal forums run by HCLLC, for any reason, at our own discretion.

PS. This is a really terrible guild recruitment page, but it’s all I have so far, so *throws at*

*Remembers a time when Areius hated Percival for dealing with the fel. Someone told him he was wrong and that Percival was different. Areius wasn’t wrong.*

*cough* @ladysaraholt *cough*

Candlelight

“Miss Starkstar,” growled Percival. A collection of candlelight dotted Penny’s home he had so brazenly invaded.“Did you know your pet, Monisha, nearly cost me my life out on Argus with her little stunt? That fun gem she gave me, apparently has a nasty bite when your people will it too. It’s been some time since I sent her a message. So now I plan on reminding her that punishment is due, with interest.”With a gesture of his hand, the twin succubi stepped out from their veil of shadows.“Girls, carve a message into her flesh. Don’t forget to dot your ‘I’s and cross your ‘T’s. And if you make a mistake, scratch it out.”(( @monishadangelo for mentions))

OOC Update/Announcement

You may have noticed that my activity hasn’t been as high lately and that is due to moving into a better living situation. The move is done, but the process was quite stressful and time consuming. Now I’m getting settled in and will be able to dedicate more time to RP and writing!

On that note I would like to take a moment to make an exciting and official announcement.

Holt and Thorne Trading Co is now its own guild!

Now I know what some of you are thinking and I want to squash any rumors of a falling out with House Holt. Adhelin, Cedrick and I talked about this and decided that it would be better organizationally to have Holt and Thorne split off from House Holt. Everything has been amicable and there are no hard feelings between anyone. We are still affiliated with House Holt, just now our own separate entity.

We have some exciting plans in the works as far as storyline and events go for Battle for Azeroth and are looking to add to our numbers!! If you are interested in bringing your character into our ranks, please feel free to reach out to @cedrickholtstories or @levvnightfall or myself!

Attention all Roleplayers!

Holt and Thorne Trading Co. is in need of Privateers/Sailors/Captains and Guards!

We are a steadily growing RP trading company built around story driven and DM event RP. We are looking to add people to our numbers and collaborate with merchants, nobles and commoners alike!

While several of our members are guilded with House Holt, guild membership is *not* required. We have a Discord for collaboration and RP and an in-game channel will be set up shortly.

OOC expectations:

-Leave your drama at the door. While we function like a family, I have a strict no bullshit policy. I simply put it to the golden rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated.

-Keep OOC/IC separated. Do not let hard feelings towards another player effect your IC interactions.

-Thick skin/maturity. We make jokes, talk shit and tease each other a LOT.

IC expectations:

-General proper use of grammar, participation

Please contact @venreenaholt or @cedrickholtstories for more info!

A finished invitation for the adored Holt Family and their upcoming birthday.

This event is invitation ONLY! 

@adhelin @venreenaholt

[areiusironborne]

When the Nobles left the server didn't become a "Cesspool" like you said in your OOC post, actually a good chunk of us free roaming RPers actually like the friendly atmosphere. Half the names you listed in your OOC rant left because people didn't respect or accept their writing. Good for you doesn't always mean good for the server.

Not quite sure what you’re saying, to be honest. Never said those people had it easy or never had any drama, whatever, and actually, most of those people I listed roleplayed with me and were in our group, which had little to no pointless drama, etc. most of the people I listed are my good friends. Sure, I can’t speak for them.. but I believe that they know exactly what I’m talking about. Our time in The Northern Confederacy was a great time. With more fun and memorable times rather than painfully disgusting drama filled moments.

Bad for you doesn’t mean it wasn’t good for us. Overall, the server was much less toxic than it is now. I firmly believe that.

[areiusironborne]

A few hours after sunrise, a lone rider found his way to Areius’ forces heading north.  The man himself was without armor, bearing only the appearance of a hired courier, with a package safely secured on the end of the saddle.

Your Grace,

I had hoped to offer this parcel personally before your departure, but alas, it wasn’t fated to be so. Please accept this gift as a token of my condolences and please forgive the overabundance of items…asking of favorite treats during our conversation would’ve been improper, given the topic at hand.

Light keep you, Lord Ironborne.

-        Cordelia

The contents of the parcel were plentiful in terms of various tastes being sated; strips of jerky and other dried meats, sundried fruits and saccharine treats were all neatly packed in the box in their own containers.  A bottle of red wine from the local winery and a shorter, fatter bottle containing an amber liquid was also present.

On the distant horizon, movement stirred beyond the trees as the sun glinted off the steel cataphracts of a company of mounted riders.  Upon reaching the Duke and his men, Areius would be presented with another letter bearing the wax seal of House Holt.  

“Please accept the service of these men in the reclamation of your duchy, Lord Ironborne.  I only regret that I’ve not more to offer at this time, but when I do I will send them to you without hesitation.”

-        C. Holt

“A Turn of Events.”

Areius sat atop his steed just outside of the main Northhaven gate, watching as his surviving people and remaining soldiers trekked along. Beside him sat a man, one clad in heavy armor and a hood. His eyes glowed a deep blue, much like that of a Death Knight’s, and his voice. It was icy just the same. “My Lord, where will we lead them?”

The nobleman looked out at his people, a look of sorrow crossing his features, “I do not know, my old friend.” He said with a sigh, “..perhaps a Clan of Wildhammers will accept us. Or another noble House….” His eyes closed and he shook his head, “I have failed them again, haven’t I, Taalius?”

“No, Areius. Far from it.” An armored hand reached out to motion to the smiling faces of the people. The other moved to rest on his shoulder. “You are strong, and your people know that you are strong. Do not give up hope now. Never give up hope. We will walk until we find what fate gives us, and every last one of them would do it.. for you.” 

Areius smiled lightly to his companion, “..thank you, my friend. For everything you have done for me. Light knows I need a true friend in such dark times. It seems you and Wyrick are all that I have.”

“And you will always have us. We are Lords of the North. We Lords of the North who bleed together, remain together.”

“I thank you. Many times over.” 

Taalius bowed his head, only to motion for the Lord to follow behind. The last people had exited and they followed behind, where ever such a road may take them.

“Lord Stalsworth,

Thank you for your aid. Food and other supplies are even more a necessity than men. You truly have no idea how very appreciative I am.

Northhaven shall be prepared for the upcoming shipments and know that you and yours will always have a place in Ironwrath once we have taken it back. This I promise you.

Thank you,

Areius Ironborne, Lord of the True North, and Rightful Lord of Ironwrath

An Offer of Aid

Lord Ironborne,

I wish to profess once more my greatest sympathy for your plight. There should never come a day when a man is ousted from his rightful home, most certainly not after being away in defense of his lands and people. I have spoken with my wife, and we have come to a juncture of agreement regarding your call for aid. While our lands are not rife with soldiers, nor are we a power of immense military might, we possess something quite profound. Food.

Barrowfield and her attendant lands are one of the largest providers of grain to the entirety of the Eastern Kingdoms. Men and women at march require rations and supplies, and we shall provide such in aid to your campaign. It is an honor to assist a valorous cause. Our mercantile fleet and host of caravans stand at the ready to maneuver grain and other foodstuffs northward.

Please send missive in return at your earliest convenience so we may arrange location, timing, and other details regarding this. We wish you the utmost, your Grace.

With strongest regards,

Lord Thomas Stalsworth

"To the Lord Areius Ironborne. I have heard of your plight, and of our cause. Do not mistake this for an offer of aid, nor of a letter to chastise. All this is would be a call to meet- I shall ride to the Thandol Span if you accept." -From the Office of Grand Marshal Raseri.

“ “Grand Marshal”,While I acknowledge your offer, I am puzzled as to why you wish to meet. If not to aid nor chastise, then the meeting holds no true purpose. I have heard of you, and truthfully, you haven’t any right to do either. Many battles fought and lost are on your shoulders. This will not be one of them. I decline, though you are more than welcome in Fairhaven if it is truly of the -utmost- urgency.Regards,Areius Ironborne, Lord of the True North, and rightful Lord of Ironwrath.

[areiusironborne]

I mean how can I of all people waste your time?

(( YOU CAN’T. WHY ARE YOU NOT BACK IN GAME YET? ))

Introduction

Who is Kartirius Bellatrine? 

Kartirius Bellatrine is a young, yet well-experienced paladin in service to the Grand Alliance. Just over twenty-three years of age, he has participated in multiple campaigns against undead, horde, and Legion forces since he was fifteen. Under these eight years, he has grown substantially under the tutelage of House Haethon (now Redsteel), and a holy order known as the Order of the Golden Law. 

Shortly after the Golden Law’s disappearance, he went on to participate in Alliance operations on the Broken Isles. Fighting in the final battle in the Tomb of Sargeras, the wounds he had sustained in battle forced him to be shipped back to Stormwind and recover as the war on Argus reached it’s conclusion. 

Now in the service of Lady Loala Addington and the Duchy of Fairhaven, Kartirius hopes to serve and create a better future. 

What does he look like? 

Height: 5′7″ 

Weight: 185 lbs

Appearance: Slightly shorter for his age, Kartirius Bellatrine still remains at the height of his maturity. A staunch, oblong chin shaped smoothly underneath thick facial hair running across both ends of his face. If he were to shave, one could clearly see the youthful features pop out in front of them…and notice a variety of scars that are hidden underneath his rugged appearance. 

In civilian clothing, Kartirius’ body presses against linens with deep, muscular lines. His legs and his back, particularly, show a great deal of effort put into his calves and his back muscles–likely from exertion of armor and equipment. Not that other parts of his body are lacking, of course. 

Scars: It’s clear that he’s seen battle. His chest is marred in fel-spocked burns, dark spots on his chest that look as if the flesh had been blackened; never to return to it’s former luster.  

On the right side of his cheek, a tender pocket of skin looks new…for one to press on it, they could feel the jaw muscles. Scratches and cuts across parts of his face, and a massive gash running down the center of his chest. The impact appeared to be from a pointy, blade-like object. At least it didn’t come out from the other side. 

Equipment: A well-equipped paladin is a safe paladin! 

Truesilver Armor: An old forging technique carried on from his days in the Golden Law, Kartirius requests his armor to be made up of Truegold and Truesilver ore. Having this magic-attuned metal to be enchanted to amplify light-based abilities, the truegold is forged into the core pieces of the armor; while the truesilver acts as a protective exoskeleton. For the interest of representing Fairhaven, his armor has been dyed and colored to appear a deep lavender. Kartirius is often always seen wearing the laurel sigil of the Addingtons across a tabard thrown onto his chestplate. 

Weapons: Kartirius has been seen utilizing several weapons. First, a two handed bastard sword–enlaid with a purple leather hit and a truegold pommel. Second, a circular shield made up of three seperate semi-circles, with gaps open in between for locking weapons in combat. Alongside this shield came a hand-sized warhammer, a simple steel hammer with a large strap underneath. Regardless of which he brings to a battle, a dagger always resides in his belt–for emergencies. 

Items: Always carrying a libram strapped to his belt, a deck of Hearthstone, and a small pack of traveling supplies. 

What discernable traits does Kartirius have? 

Kartirius is not a perfect soldier, and neither is he a perfect man. He always attempts to pursue the Three Virtues as modestly as he can. Often displaying great Respect and Compassion for others, but restraining his passion and Tenacity in combat and stressful situations. It has left him a humble, brave man. 

But it has also left him quite shattered as a person. War and grief has chased him for eight years, suffocating much of the innocence inside him. Though Kartirius is brave in battle, on the onset of meeting him he could perceive as tightly-wound, overly polite, perhaps neurotic at times. Despite his altruism, chivalry and precociousness for the Light’s service…his experiences have left him with little but the appearance of goodwill. 

The Light has asked so much of him…and now there is little left.
