The High Coucil

~ The High Council ~

It is the act of the High council of the Dark Shroud to adhere to all guild rules and regulations. They are made up of those that are closest to the Founder and have served with Honor in defense of the Horde and in assisting in others questing to become great.

The main task of ranking players falls in their hands and they can set up events and meet with other allied groups to the Defenders of the Horde (DOH). See more about the DOH here at this link -> DOH . It is the High Councils job to also monitor the Guild for people violating the rules and do upkeep on the guild inventories when the Founder is away. All high Council members should be treated as if they themselves own the Guild and if they violate the code of honor and respect in which they earned, it should be reported directly to Nabolshia.

The High council seat is the most coveted seat in the Dark Shroud. You sit at the threshold of Guild power. It is you that talks directly with the Founder to work out new plans and ideas and to help bring them to life.

~ WARLORDS ~

The High Council Commands order over all sub ranks, mainly focusing their direct influence on the Warlord Generals that command the Armies of Dark Shroud. The Warlords are the standing army of the Shroud and are to be respected as those that have made great sacrifice in serving in our legions to DOH. DOH is the main vow of a Warlord and that is to defend the Horde cities alone or with allies to the best of their abilities. Warlords are made up of Death knights by default as they are instantly ranked to this upon joining the Guild and also any toon hitting level 70 and wanting to be a DOH Warlord General. They can only be ranked to this level by a High Council member, and their guild powers are more limited then their lesser ranked Commanders, as this keeps strangers with Death Knights from scamming the Guild.

Warlords can invite and Rank within the Guild, but should not promote others outside of the normal ranking process. This way they have the ability to invite those that may better serve our guild and helping us stomp out the alliance scum.

After Command ranks are earned the guild no longer pays for your repairs, as by this time you should be self sufficient enough to provide for your own needs. Donations are expected to the guild coffer by all ranks above Commander, of the sum equal to 5 gold per week to help cover costs on new recruit repairs. Officer ranks do have the ability to draw an amount of money from the guild daily, but are expected they will only use it if needed. This amount varies by rank.

~ Commanders and below ~

Commanders are the first of the Ranking and demotion ranks. They are a Mini Boss of the High Councilors! They monitor the actions and behaviors of those ranked below them and it is their job to check for rank changes that may be needed due to levels or achievements.

They can rank up to their own and can also Demote. They are the first to not be able to repair. At this stage they are considered Independent and able to fend for themselves. They can also request the guild to LOAN them money for their first mount if needed, or an assist on their epic mount, with the intention of paying the amounts back.

~ MERCHANTS ~

The Merchant rank is used for a banking toon. Very few people will be trusted with a banking toon that has no ranking powers at all but full access to the Guild bank and all its functions. You will have to have a Commander rank or High councilor rank to get a Bank toon, as these are ranks of earned trust to the Shroud. Those that are going to get involved in the future BANK TAB #4 need to let me know and sign up to have a merchant toon made and ranked.

Simply let me know, as I am the only one that can rank you into a Merchant. Do not make it a standard toon as in this rank you will have no standard rank powers at all. It only needs to be a low level used for banking and AH activities, trade and banking management. There will be an Ammendum of rules for the Merchants to follow that do not apply to standard ranked players.
The post for these rules will be here -> Merchant Laws
