LOYALTY. DEDICATION. PERSERVERENCE.


Many years ago, I made a promise along with my brothers and sisters in death: that we would give purpose to those who have lost their way, and a family to those who have none. To keep marching forward when all hope was lost. To liberate Azeroth from threats great and small, because that was all that was left to do.Over time, our numbers dwindled. Some claimed their final deaths; others simply vanished into the ether, never to be seen again. The fate of The Ebon Blade, it seems, is to slowly fade until there are none left to remind Azeroth that we once lived. But the king’s crown has been shattered, and his followers now roam unchained, and we are needed more now than ever to continue our grim work, both here, and now beyond the grave.So I carry on our name and our legacy, such as it is. To put down the dead wherever they can be found, and to be the one who remembers when all others have forgotten. I am not rebuilding anything. I am not recruiting. But should you also find yourself alone on this endless road we walk, perhaps we might walk together.Suffer well, my friends.-Aran Dacey



About us


Once a paramilitary organization, The Ebon Covenant has scattered, leaving only their former commander to carry the torch. Aran now travels the world with new companions, putting down Scourge threats wherever they should appear.The Ebon Covenant is looking to build a small community of players who like writing engaging stories with other chill adults. We seek to fill the philosophical angle of being a death knight, and to explore the brotherhood that they have built through their shared suffering. Our recruitment is extremely selective; we are looking for quality over quantity. We seek mature, respectful players who can write dark scenes without shock value, who are open to communicate and collaborate, and who actively, enthusiastically participate in our collective narrative. Our RP happens both in-game and over discord, and will be organized with the group as schedules allow.We accept death knights and allies to our cause- necromancers, plagueshifters, warlocks, and other sorts. Creatures from the Shadowlands are also welcome within our space. Alts are encouraged! We are open to both Horde and Alliance.Combat in Ebon Covenant is handled without RNG or rolling. We trust our players to share the spotlight and tell a good story together. Those interested in roleplaying with us should get familiar with "Yes, and"-- You're going to be using it a lot. That said, our characters frequently fail. We're not just here to win. We're here to grow together, and you should be too.If your character is looking for a band of brothers and sisters to go forth with new purpose, then we want to hear from you!

You are not allowed to kill another player without their permission. All combat posts should be written as attempts unless directed otherwise by a DM.

We are a guild of death knights and other unsavory individuals. Dark RP is an expected and embraced part of the experience. That said, the aim should not be to traumatize each other. If you're looking for an audience for the most stomach-turning, disturbing prose you can write, we are not the right team for you.

Characters


Aran Dacey


A death knight who refuses to accept endless war as his only purpose. Haunted by runeblade whispers and experimental runes that weaponize his soul's caged fury, he keeps reaching for the humanity he lost through doomed friendships and unanswered letters, forever trying to prove to himself and others that he can be more than a monster.



Current and Future plots


The Duskwood NecromancerA necromancer operating in Duskwood has begun creating crude imitations of death knights using stolen techniques that mimic the Lich King's work, but without his power or precision. These false death knights are stiff, jerky, and imperfect, but they serve their master's purpose.The necromancer seeks specific materials for his work, including a mysterious vial containing unknown contents essential to the creation process. When confronted, his creations claimed their master was "improving upon flawed designs" and that Lich King death knights were "obsolete relics of a dead king's failed ambition."The true scope of the necromancer's plan remains unclear. His servants escaped with the vial after a violent confrontation, leaving behind only questions and one destroyed corpse to examine.
