Champions of Dusk Currency and Item Creation

Currency

Gloam-bound Scrips are distributed by Circle of Dusk officers for use while trading with the renowned artisans of Rivermouth. A wide variety of services can be found within the trading hub of Shal’danil; an apothecary, stablemaster, armorers, blacksmiths, fletchers and more! Use our IC currency to earn rewards and items to further your character’s reputation as well as skill in combat!

Several quality scrips may be awarded for completing missions, attending events, guild competitions...etc. The first three ranks of scrip may be used to purchase custom armor, weapons, and jewelry. The final rank (platinum) is used to purchase heavily controlled rewards that may greatly affect your character; from mounts to real estate within Shal’danil, rewards of this caliber are highly sought after.

(Four of one kind of scrip may be traded in for one scrip of the next rank up. ie. x4 Bronze may be traded in for x1 Silver)

Bronze Gloam-bound Scrip (+1 enchantment)

Silver Gloam-bound Scrip (+2 enchantments)

Golden Gloam-bound Scrip (+3 enchantments)

Platinum Gloam-bound Scrip (used to buy plots of land, mounts and legendary items)

Crafting Armor, Weapons,Trinkets, and Scrolls

When commissioning an artisan to craft a custom piece of equipment three scrips of a kind are required. Items crafted will have the base attributes/abilities of its item type in addition to enchantments requested. With each rank of scrip (excluding platinum) an additional enchantment slot on the item becomes available. The complexity of an item may affect the number of real-life days needed to create it, the formula for this (x•3), where x is the amount of enchantment slots. ie; a bronze level item will take 3 days to make, while a golden level item will take 9. Items created should be added to your character sheet, color the item name to reflect its quality.

You can find more information on our system and an updated version of the loot list/item enchantments (in a cleaner format) here.

Mission Board: Reply to Scribe Moonglow

Assignment: Write an IC response to Scribe Moonglow! Let her know of any preparations your character must make before travelling to Shal'danil, when your character plans on arriving (if at all), or if your character has any questions about the region...etc. 

Scribe Moonglow’s Bulletin

Reward: 1 Silver Gloam-bound Scrip

[circleofdusk]

The Crescent Moon Herald: (IC Bulletin)

[ Carried by sentinel owls to each member of the Circle of Dusk as well as posted around Olivia’s Pond in Stormwind are elegantly written bulletins on silver embossed parchment. The message reads; ]

Enemy movement has slowed in Shal’danil since word spread of the Hierophant’s arrival. Striking an accord with her long-time ally, Sentinel-Commander Raelin Thornmane, the Circle of Dusk and Shal’danil Sentinels now work side by side; creating the joint military unit known as the Thornmane Sentinels. During this lull in combat, all Circle of Dusk members are encouraged to join Hierophant Mossweaver in Rivermouth, the last standing settlement in the region, by air (however our esteemed magi of the Oghma are currently securing permission for a temporary portal from Stormwind) to avoid ground detection. 

All ranking members will be posted within the town walls; prepared to mobilize in case of attack.

Within the ‘Vale of Night’ as it is often called in the common tongue, is years upon years of Circle history. Artifacts, spell tomes, documents on the rites of Dusk…. All collected and stored away in the Grove’s vault. The vault itself is well hidden and only accessible by those who have taken the Oath of Kinship. While it is unlikely that the Horde will be able to find and destroy the vault’s contents, the Circle of Dusk is a shadow of its former self without access to their places of veneration and research.

As of now, the lives of Shal’danil citizens are at stake, sacred ground is being defiled, and our woodlands torched or otherwise torn down to fuel the Horde war machine. From Starlight to Fianna, you are needed! Bear your arms and prepare to take back what is rightfully ours.

Join the Circle of Dusk - MG today!

Shal’danil needs you!

Help retake one of the last sanctuaries in north eastern Kalimdor from the Banshee Queen’s forces! The Royal Apothecary Society and Ironscar Raiders have infiltrated Shal’danil and are using the Grove of Dusk and Moonpath Barrow dens for their own nefarious purposes. Join the ranks of the Airmid, Oghma, and Druids of Dusk; or lend a hand as a Civilian (traders, merchants, artisans).

(Members with a talent for weaponry and traditional combat skills may also join as a mercenary, and later join the Thornmane Regiment of Sentinels after freeing Shal’danil from the Horde.)

Branches of the Circle

Join the Airmid: The heart of the Circle, members of the Airmid branch are lead by Hierophant Mossweaver herself. They oversee the medical needs of members and tend to the wounded of their allies. Being primarily a group dedicated to offering relief in times of war, the Circle of Dusk’s Airmid are well-known for their healing abilities, both magical and mundane.

Join the Oghma: Masters of the arcane, wielders of elements and thought; these brilliant minds support the Circle of Dusk in all of their magic related endeavors. Researchers dedicated to artifact study, herbology/alchemy, and different schools of magic are welcome! Knowledge of offensive spellwork is not necessary to join this Branch.

Join the Civilians: Craftsmen, Traders, Diplomats; Skilled workers, these men and women are the lifeblood of the Circle of Dusk. Within the Civilian branch, members produce the arms and armor needed by other branches, as well as sourcing reagents and alchemical materials for the Airmid and Oghma’s experiments. The especially eloquent take on the role of Diplomats; furthering the Circle’s connections across Azeroth.

Join the Thornmane Regiment: [This branch will be available officially after Shal’danil is restored.] Acting as the main fighting force of Shal’danil, the Thornmane Regiment is a highly skilled squadron of Sentinels, Huntresses, Warriors and other combatants. These men and women have honed their martial skill to a razors edge. Their duty is to protect the other Branches and laypeople from harm when the Circle of Dusk is called into action. Enemies cower when the dusky purple cloaks and elaborate mantles of this Branch are seen on the battlefield.

Become a Druid of Dusk: (open to Druids, Shamans and Hunters) Train under Hierophant Mossweaver herself and take on the mantle of Dusk. Transform into a powerful bog beast, emit spores that may heal your companions or paralyze your enemies. Maintain the cycle of life, in which even decay and rot has its place…

Welcome home.

[In a secluded clearing of Ashenvale forest; a Circle of Druids gathered. The full moon above officiating over their meeting. Still night air carried their excited voices; singing and celebration could be heard for miles around. As an older Kaldorei sporting an impressive rack of antlers and a feather cloak stepped forward, the celebrants quieted, all eyes swiveling to his position of honor below a sacred oak.]

“Are there any here that wish to join our circle?” The old Archdruid lifted his head, addressing the gathered druids and common folk. Amber orbs drifted over the faces of the crowd, meeting each with a warm smile.

“I do.” a woman stepped forward. Her eyes filled with determination, despite the wavering hesitation in her voice.

The elder druid bowed his head, “Have you fulfilled the requirements of our Shan’dieb? A month of service under the gaze of Mother Moon?” He stepped forward to better judge the aspirant’s sincerity.

“I have.”

“Are you prepared to exchange our Oaths of Kinship?”

“I am.”

“Good. Repeat after me,”

Members of the Circle closed in around the pair during the sacred exchange of Oaths. Dozens of pairs of eyes were watching as a new member of their family would soon be welcomed.

“I, N’enia Mossweaver, extend a hand in friendship to the Circle of Rot.” she offers a thin fingered hand, struggling to keep it steady as she speaks,

“I swear to stand by the customs and laws of the Grove of Rot. I swear to honor the turning of the wheel and accept it’s truth in life. I swear to hold the Circle in high regard, and honor its purpose. I swear to serve this Circle faithfully with all I am. I so swear in the eyes of the twin bears, Ursol and Ursoc, may their strength bring me to a deserved end should I break this Oath.”

N’enia turns her hand over, palm facing the clear skies above. She lowers her gaze when the Archdruid’s rumbling voice fills the circle.

“I, Ciren Greenpath, on behalf of the Circle of Rot, extend a hand in friendship to you, N’enia.” he takes her hand in his own,

“We swear to honor you as kin for as long as you stand by your Oath. We swear to protect and aid you in your times of need. We swear to protect your beliefs and ways. We swear to value your contributions to the Circle of Rot. In the eyes of these witnesses we so swear.” he motions to the gathered druids with a free hand; the joined voice of the grove filled N’enia’s ears.

“In the name of Elune we so swear! We so swear!” overjoyed voices filled the night air, quieted only when the Archdruid pulled the fledgling member into a welcoming embrace.

“Behold! The newest member of our Circle, N’enia Mossweaver!”

The Grove erupted into cheers once more, “Welcome! Hail! Welcome N’enia!”

—————————————————————

The long-gone memory still burned bright in N’enia’s mind. One fateful night changed the path of her life; from druid of the Cenarion Circle, to member of the feared and misunderstood Circle of Rot. That night, filled with so many warm words of welcome and congratulations, stood out. Surrounded by so many like minded souls that welcomed her with open arms, yet they were still cast into the shadows of Kaldorei society.

If only they knew the bonds of her Circle; she would make them see that there is nothing to be feared. The Circle of Dusk will rise from the ashes of its past, N’enia was sure of that.

Progress Report: Back from Hiatus

N’enia here! I recently resubbed to WoW and wanted to pick things up again with the guild. My characters and project will always hold a special place in my heart (and I always seem to come back to writing about them) so I feel like I might as well give it another shot. Updates will roll out slowly starting with the Hierophant’s return to Shal’danil to survey the damage done by Horde forces.

All of the branches of the Circle of Dusk will remain; Airmid for healers, Oghma for researchers and magical characters, Civilians for those that don’t want to put their characters in harms way, and finally the Thornmane Regiment (you can unofficially join as a Warden/Guardian) will unlock after saving Shal’danil and earning the trust of their Commander, Raelin Thornmane.

My main, N’enia, will also be taking on several students that wish to bear the mantle of Dusk. This will be a separate rank in the guild which all Druid characters are open to have, given they wish to learn, and are willing to let the unsettling power of Rot change their animal forms. Read more here.

Interested? Feel free to PM me here, in-game (Neniä - MG), at my main blog @dawnmourn or on discord! hierophant#6079

Letter to Sentinel-Captain Raelin

[A sentinel owl is dispatched from the thickets of Ashenvale, attached to its leg is a parchment scroll sealed with a dark green wax bearing the image of an ancient oak. The letter is short and sincere; it’s script flowing together as though the author was rushed to reply….]

Sentinel-Captain Thornmane,

I appreciate your concern for the intracacies of letter writing; and even more so your request of me. It’s been years since I’ve stepped foot in the Vale, and yet the call to serve still rings loudly in my ears. It is an honor to be summoned to the place I once called home.

My heart is heavy to receive news of the Grove and Barrow Dens capture; my blood boils at the thought of the desecration the Horde will inflict on our sacred grounds.

I accept your request of the Circle of Dusk’s aid, as we are always proud to lend succor where it is needed most. Though we too have suffered in years past. Our numbers are far from what they once were, though I have pushed the recruitment efforts as far as I dare. At the least you have the promise of my Airmid, and Druids of Dusk which stand at the ready to relieve the overburdened Priestesses. We will fly to your side as soon as we can, Raelin. May Mother Moon watch over you and your Sentinels in the coming days.

Hold on, dig in your heels if you must,

-Hierophant N’enia Mossweaver, Archdruid of the Circle of Dusk

[hierophant-x]

More Rot

This is to solidify my headcanon! Feel free to work off of, comment, and add to!

Druids of Rot are a feared branch of druids simply because of their association with death, and decay. Their talents work closely with fungi and mosses, as well as having a different form that they are able to shift into. Druids and Priests are the pillars of Night Elven society, while after death priestesses deal with the spirit, the body is left in the hands of the druids. Read below the cut for more!
