The Gathering Storm

Overview
A cult within the Cenarion Circle whose main goals seem to be aiding Azeroth in odd ways, brutal political intrigue and covert activity aimed at weakening both Horde and Alliance.

Led by Garm Winterwind and an inner circle of close advisors representing various elements/concepts, the Storm sought to prevent what it deemed as "corruption" of Azeroth by alien races, spirits, cultures, ideas and actions in order to allow the Earthmother to grow according to Her own Way. These perceived threats includes the corruption of the Burning Legion, all defiling Undead and the parasitic Orcs.

For a short time in Northrend they were recognised as at least loosely aligned with the overall interests of the Horde against the Lich King. The rise of the malefic Deathwing, the failures of the incompetent Thrall and everything Hellscream did convinced its members that this was a colossal error. As the Circle refused to take any overt sides over the decades despite the necessity, the actions of the Storm became even more covert and brutal. Its former pawns amongst many races were cut loose as the view that these allies of convenience could be set against one-another to promote weakness was overridden by a "zero-tolerance" approach. Thus Death Knights, Forsaken and Orcish tools were denounced at spies and traitors, found dead and mutilated or simply dissapeared.

Over recent years the Titanic events on Azeroth have dictated the Storm's path more than its leadership. Noone had time to manipulate cultures or politic whilst the Old Whispers were heard or the Mother was wounded! Always few in number, the membership has dwindled to a handful of loyal relatives, itinerant but blessed lunatics and a couple of frighteningly powerful visionaries along with deeply embedded spies or mercenaries in other factions.

Current Activities
Attempts to utilise the The Beastmaw Clan as a convenience to recover Twilight items and uncover the secret of Inner Fire proved fruitless, and the search for Ursoc led to the Shadowlands thereafter for the leadership. Some visions or dreams have been received on Azeroth, of a great Ghost Dance and way to bring about some great change, but for the remnants of the Storm on the Mother these are the subject of very varied interpretations.

OOC Info
A very small Guild for those that just want a home, and to play their own damn way! No expectations other than not being a knob in my opinion. RP framework, connections and assistance provided but not demanded, if we can guide you to a better guild that makes you happier then we are happy too!

Those that love Tauren or Druid lore will get the most from us, but we can and will help anyone find their place.
