ORSINIUM
Orsinium is an Orsimeri RP-PvP guild in the Daggerfall Covenant, on the NA megaserver.
We're not an RP guild with a PvP focus, or vice versa. We're an RP-PvP guild. Our RP stories focus on life in a private army loyal to King Kurog of Wrothgar, fighting and conducting business in Cyrodiil and High Rock.
We're friendly, active, goal-oriented, and have a small but solid core of players, many of whom have been playing together for years. We operated in stealth mode during the beta, so that we could secure our guild name and prepare ourselves for launch. Now, we're opening the doors, and looking to share the good times with like-minded players.
ABOUT US
We are not stronghold orcs, though many in our ranks began their lives that way. For one reason or another, we've all chosen to leave the strongholds and devote ourselves to the King of Wrothgar, in the service of his armies, or in the reconstruction of our capitol. Some stronghold orcs revile and spurn us for this. Let them spurn us. Ours is the God of the Spurned.
The Orsimer are an ancient and proud people, who have lived as pariah for three millenia, huddled in the mountains. Now is our time to stand and claim what is ours by the laws of the sky and stone and Sworn Oath. We were unjustly stripped of our provincial rights by the Akiviri Potentates. And so, the gates to Wrothgar are closed to men and mer.
But High King Emeric gives us his Sworn Oath. Wrothgar will be restored to its provincial status. The flames of the Empire will burn bright again. The Orsimer will live, united as a people. No longer with our backs to the mountain, divided.
We fight to thwart the tyranny of the Aldmeri Thalmor, wrathful scions of the Ayleid, who enslaved the whole of Tamriel for millenia and will again. We will free our Bosmer cousins and the noble Khajiit from the yoke of these tyrants and their lies.
We fight to vanquish our ancient foes the Nords, servants of the Corpse-God Lorkhan, who spread their cult of death and beast-worship throughout Tamriel. We will consecrate their Dunmer allies with our cold steel, and exact the blood price for their centuries of slavery, lies and corruption.
ALLIANCES
We are also founding members of the Wrothgar in-game alliance, to which we invite all Orcish-themed RP and PvP guilds, as well as any Orcish players who might not wish to join another Orcish guild.
We have a tense business relationship with the Dunmeri mercantile guild House Hlaalu. Emeric is confiscating ship cargo out of Wayrest and funneling all supplies to the war effort, and this has stalled the construction efforts in Orsinium. House Hlaalu is interested in maintaining business ties with Wrothgar, whose skilled craftsmer are famous throughout Tamriel.
Some of our soldiers are wary about selling weapons to our enemies. Our leaders laugh and reassure them it doesn't matter whether our enemies bring our blades into battle. We'll pry them from the grips of our fallen foes, and sell them to House Hlaalu all over again.
It's a living.
CONTACT US
Our ideal members are Roleplayers with a strong interest in PvP, who play Orcs. But we're realistic about the game's limitations, and tolerant of other races in-character and out. We can and will overlook one of these qualities missing from an applicant, but not two. We're willing to RP in order to build compelling storylines for members of other races to join.
