Yes! New roleplayers & people who are new to the game are always welcome and we are happy to help them to get into everything! We also have a list of guides and other helpful sources which we share on demand!  

Not at all! The Edict accepts all races - as long as the potential member is interested in the Edict's goal & would make sense to be a part of "Edict found-family".

However, if you want to join as a character of more "powerful by default" races and backgrounds (like dragons), your character's "powerlevel" would still need to be balanced, relative to others. 

For example, a young whelp who can't do much more in battle compared to a trained mage, should probably be fine. An ancient wyrm who can potentially burn a small town while flying over it - likely not.

The Edict aims to explore Azeroth mysteries and make it a better place for people living in it - while also upholding Vulperan values, which include:

• Kinship - treating each other as family and looking out for one another;

• Curiosity - exploring the world and investigating its mysteries with an open mind;

• Resourcefulness - we each have a set of talents and skills, working together & teamwork will compliment our abilities and cooperation is key to resolving the problems we encounter.

As long as your character's values align with these, the goals of the Edict sound good to you and your character gets along with others in the Edict, they would be welcome to join it!

A short answer would be yes - if the Edict's goals and principles can be applied to your character (read the question above). However, there may be potential complications for some of professions. For example:

• Warlock - if your character is very "end justifies the means, no matter the cost" or makes a heavy use of demons, they might clash a lot with some of members.

• Death Knight - it depends a lot on how your character suppresses their eternal hunger. Killing animals they hunted or bounty hunting people who are generally considered "bad" (i.e. bandits, cultists from Twilight Hammer and similar groups, etc) would likely be considered as "acceptable" way to go about it (if they aren't overly "sadistic" about that).

• Demon hunter - heavily depends on how your character is able to control their inner demon. For example, if it is obvious that they are one step from going insane, then it may be a problem (The same would go to ren'dorei and other "heavily corrupted" people).

• Dark shaman - will likely be very tricky, as plenty of Edict members are against enslavement, abuse and corruption of Elements. But, there are also plenty of grey areas between "classic shaman" and "Twilight Hammer style dark shaman", which could possibly be applied.

• Paladins & other faithful believers of the Light (and similar concepts) - some of our members have a negative history with the Light & its fanatics, which might make things complicated for them. That being said, if your character isn't of "Praise the Light, destroy everything which isn't Light" mentality, then there is likely a way for them to fit in!

The points above aren't strict guidelines in -any- measure - and if you aren't sure that your character would fit, ask one of officers & we will discuss details! To us the main things are -how- the character uses their power - and nuance is important!

Unfortunately, no, as we are a neutral guild and we therefore cannot accept members who are staunch supporters of either the Alliance or the Horde. 

Members of other neutral factions, whose goals are in line with the Edict ones, such as Cenarius Circle or Timewalkers, are accepted, however!

This means that we do not take part in Alliance vs Horde wars AND that we accept all the races - both Alliance & Horde ones!

All guilds work cross-faction for a few years at this point - and we also use [Elixir of Tongues] to understand opposite faction /say and /emote. Thanks to [Cross RP addon] we also can see profiles of the opposite faction. Don't forget to grab those if you want to join our rp!

This also means that most of the time we roleplay at the locations which are available for -both- Horde and Alliance. Sometimes we go to faction specific locations but that doesn't make a huge part of roleplay - and we make sure that all storyline events happen at a location available for everyone!

From an IC point of view - we do not expect you to be "fine" with everything and everyone - and disagreements & clashes of personality make an interesting roleplay! 

However, these are things you should keep in mind:

• We are against mixing IC with OOC and vice versa. Our characters are not us in personality and worldview.

• Make sure your character does not cross the line. If your character is always rude and abrasive to everyone, constantly hurts them & has no -visible- redeeming qualities - at some point it will be a question of "Why are we letting them still be around, despite everything they have done?" or "Why are you still here, if you hate us so much?"

From OOC point of view - we expect you to be kind, polite, and respectful to each other at all times. If you have any problem with anyone or anything in the guild, please address it to us officers first! We are here to listen & support.

Some of our members do, and we also gather for transmog runs (or similar stuff) if anyone needs to get anything! However, we don't have any dedicated raid or pvp groups and it isn't a priority in any measure to us. 

This also means that we don't accept social players. If you want to join the guild, it should be because you want to roleplay with us and that you have a character who would be a good addition to the Edict.

Depends on what is going on exactly and what are our characters' goals! Possible activities range from (but not limited!) exploring and negotiations to puzzle solving and combat.

Roleplay during any other time heavily depends on what our characters are up to at the moment - and this can often take unexpected routes!

You can read more about our rp and what you can expect at the page here!

The main storyline events often involve things which aren't strictly connected to WoW canon and feature "homebrewed" factions and phenomena - while also staying in line what -is- stated as true to the world.

For example, an island which is habitated by humans who have developed their own culture, language and worship Elemental Lords isn't a stretch in any measure to us - but treating Void or Fel -not- as highly corruptive & dangerous forces would be.

The said "homebrew lore" would also be something for your character to investigate and ask questions about - and our characters most of time will be happy to "infodump"!

The same attitude is applied to your characters as well! If you have found a creative way to treat WoW lore inconsistences which makes sense and doesn't directly contradict major lore points (i.e. ancient night elf born in Darnassus), all the power to you!

We do not, everyone has lives and things to attend to, after all! 

What we ask, however, is that if you do decide to join the guild, it is because you do wish to be a part of the community with us and join our roleplay when you are able to!

Yes, there are a few! These below are non-optional addons & items that we need in order to RP together seamlessly.

• [Total RP 3] - this is an addon we use for character profiles. You would need it to see how our characters look like & other important things (and for our characters to see the same things about yours!)

• [Total RP 3: Extended] - this is an addon we use various items you can get through Edict rp - and which we sell at the shop!

• [Cross RP] - allows you to see opposite faction's profiles and warns you when you need to refresh Elixir of Tongues

• [Elixir of Tongues] - allows you to understand opposite faction /say and /emotes!

These are things you should have if you wish to join our RP to get full Edict experience!

Please, read the question below! The most important thing is for us & our characters to learn you & your character well and it might take a while to learn each other (and definitely not the first meeting)!
