One of the more, if not the most controversial of the Sunforged is how they initiate their full members. Similar to how a Blood Mage summons a phoenix that represents their power, the Sunforged will summon eggs from the Elemental Plane. When their phoenix hatches into any size, it represents the acceptance of the sun and begins their journey to be a Sunforged member. Size will vary and will not be larger than what a Blood Mage can summon, however, as to not be confused with each other. The phoenix is just a physical representation of the sun’s eternal flame; a symbolic gesture of nurturing your ties to magic and a physical manifestation of your devotion.

Acolyte => Neophyte

When you find your phoenix egg, you will use your teachings as an acolyte to nurture its growth. The more magic you use, the faster the hatching process.

Neophyte => Sunforged

When the egg hatches, it will create a dark version of itself. In order to be fully initiated, you must eradicate the darker side completely and recite your vows.

Grand Augur of the Sun

Among the triad leadership roles, they represent the passive and devout Augurs of the Sunforged. Often priests, seers, oracles, prophets. They provide succor to those in need.

Grand Arbiter of the Sun

Among the triad leadership roles, they represent the strong-willed and weapon-wielding Arbiters of the Sunforged. Often warriors, paladins, templars, knights, and rangers. They mete out the judgment given by the Tribunes.

Among the triad leadership roles, they represent the highly trained assassins and skilled Blades of the Sunforged. Often rogues, brawlers, and hunters. They carry out specialized hits or contracts by the Grand Tribune and Tribunes should someone be marked especially dangerous.

The Sunforged are an elitist group of Sin’dorei zealots that focus on the idea that the sun gives them their power; that they worship the sun as a deity named Belore and while the Light may have left them more than a decade ago and they took it back, the sun never left them. They realized the error in their judgment heading into the Outlands and their warped way of thinking, and wish to fervently show Silvermoon City a brand new path forged in flame. While not all believe Belore to be an actual god and remain atheist like everyone else in Sin’dorei society, they still worship the sun and hold the same virtues and testaments the Sunforged have created.

.• OOC •.

Taking inspiration from the Scarlet Crusade and Lightforged Draenei, the Sunforged are just as ruthless though not considerably mad in terms of right and wrong. They will obviously not hold themselves up in a monastery and see the entire world as contaminated with the plague and undeath. They will, however, be extremely judgmental and very aggressive with anyone the sun deems unworthy. This can mean anything. Belore is a widely accepted fan canon artificial deity that represents the sun, but it is not a requirement to RP as part of the Sunforged; it is only to be inclusive to those that have Belore-worshipping characters that do not want to feel like the elephant in the room. The Sin’dorei have majority of sun and phoenix references in their everyday life and symbolism, and this version of worship combines the Holy Light with Solar magic to create a hybrid of mage-priests, templars, spellbows, and even assassins that use the Light and fire magic.

.• Sunforged’s Formation •.

The Sunforged is fairly brand new, created almost immediately after the Ren’dorei became a faction that had potential to ruin the Sunwell for good. In efforts to prevent this in the future, Natra took her own personal devotion into a reality in hopes to inspire more like her so they- in their minds- do whatever it is necessary to protect Quel’thalas and the Sin’dorei. Natra is well aware of how they may look like, and does whatever she can to hold tolerance of her radical order, even if it is shaky.
