=== History of the Elemental Eye ===
=== ===
----
The history of the Elemental Eye is linked with that of the city of Dalaran. Back in the times of the kingdom of Arathi, the great city state of Dalaran was founded. Dalaran became a great centre of arcane knowledge and study, and the original Magocrats became what is now known as the ruling council of the Kirin Tor.
The Kirin Tor issued a great decree to further the boundaries of magical understanding, and some magocrats began to form their own ‘magic orders’, dedicated to carrying out the wishes of the council. One of those early groups became known as ‘The Order of the Elemental Eye’.
Over time the order of the elemental eye became one of the great institutions of wizardry and learning in old Dalaran; its members searched out the far reaches of Azeroth in a bid to increase knowledge of the arcane. The order even had its own regiments of city guards, and a seat on the ruling council.
Some years later during the third war,the Scourge spread across Azeroth like a plague; under the leadership of Arthas. The seers of the order of the elemental eye sent spies out to learn of Arthas’ plans.
However word arrived back late and Arthas and the scourge were already at the gates of Dalaran. At the last hour it was learned that Arthas was after a spellbook. Quickly the Seers gave word that their spellbook be hidden; and an envoy was sent to inform Dalaran’s leaders.
The seers envoy, it would seem, failed to make it; most likely killed on route. The spellbook of medivh was captured, and with it Archimonde the defiler was summoned back into the world.
Much was lost back then. Old Dalaran fell; laid waste by its enemies. And the order of the elemental eye also fell, its followers died defending the city.Some months ago now, a group of wizards and researchers were excavating some of the ruins at Dalaran. In a small anti chamber below the ruins of a large building, researchers discovered a number of Dalaran texts. It seems part of a library was discovered, and although researchers found many of the books familiar, one in particular, was not.
The tome in question was entitled ‘The Order of The Elemental Eye’; it was bound in leather, and on its front, a strange design. The design consisted of a central eye symbol, surrounded by two concentric circles. The concentric circles were spaced apart, with text between them, running in a circle around the centre; to the top was written ‘Light’, followed by ‘Nature’, then ‘Fire’, ‘Shadow’, ‘Arcane’, and finally ‘Frost’. In this way Light was opposite Shadow, and Fire was opposite Frost, and so on. The whole design finished in gold leaf.
“What we have here is a primary work of one of the magic orders of Dalaran, and old too; possibly from the early days.” One of the wizards explained to his colleagues.
“It might take us years to understand its secrets”, said another. “Many of those old works were written in code, so as not to fall into the wrong hands”, he added.
Inspired by the book, the wizards Profion and Jayier went on to form ‘Elemental Eye’, a revival of the old order.
== Current activites and threats ==
Today the order faces many challenges, and because of its historic links with the city of Dalaran; what threatens Dalaran also threatens the Elemental Eye.
Arcane research and study
The order continues to uphold the legacy of the Kirin Tor, seeing it as its duty to research and study the arcane and gain knowledge of every aspect of magic. Also, the great spellbook of the old order needs decoding. So far only a small portion of it has been understood.
Intelligence operations for the Kirin Tor
The order has been known to carry out operations for the Dalaran leadership, including intelligence gathering and even some of a military nature.
The Dragon Aspect Malygos
The demise of Malygos, the ancient gardian of magic, has left in its wake somewhat of a power vacuum. Although rumours of a replcement exist, it seems the misuse of magic is more out of control than ever. To this end, elemental eye seeks to rediscover the patterns and flows of the magical energies present in Azeroth. These lay lines were detailed in a map help by Malygos.
The Elements In Turmoil
Recently the lands have suffered a great upheaval, and our cities have come under attack. First there were the quakes, and then came the mysterious devices and elemental rifts. Pitch battles were fought in our cities between our citizens and the elementals pouring through these rifts. Then came the great upheaval. The Elemental Eye has dedicated itself to investigate these events and in particular, what were the mysterious devices and who was responsible for them.
== Organisational Structure ==
The order is governed by the council of Seers, most of which are wizards. The order also has a non wizard seer who is responsible for security, intelligence, and similar military type operations. Below this are the High Acolytes, who are regarded as among the most honoured members of the order. Ordinary members of the order form two ranks, the Acolytes and the Scolars. Acolytes have demonstrated a higher level of service and dedication to the order, and Scolars are former apprentices who have become full members.
Finally, there are the Apprentices. These new recruits can expect a bright future with the order, if they are found worthy of promotion.
== Culture and Recruitment ((ooc bit)) ==
Above all, the elemental eye is a friendly guild, with members that have a degree of maturity towards each other, and World of Warcraft in general. We have fun, but we also know how to respect each other. We are also a roleplaying guild, but we don’t force people to remain in character all the time. This is why we have an OOC guild chat channel, and an IC guild chat channel; giving guild members the choice to do both. What we don’t want is; juvenile selfish behavior, and people who are simply not interested in roleplay at all.
*Honor the name of the Elemental Eye.
*Respect eachother in the order.
*Respect Blizzard rules.
*To advance in rank within the order, you must demonstrate service to the order; be active, help others within the order, take part in meetings and other activities, or anything else that makes a contribution.
Elemental Eye is approximately 2 years old, and has a stable leadership. We are seeking to expand, and are actively recruiting new members of all levels. We are also looking for people to join our dungeon team, doing Cata normals, and soon to progress to Cata heroics. We have a tank, so our greatest need is DPS, and healers.
== Contacts ==
If you would like to be part of our order contact the Seers Profion, Kvatchi, Vanhex, or Thorlaen; or use your in game guild finder. We look forward to hearing from you.
