Application Letter:
Do not removeTo the Master and Officers of the company known as Rhyme and Punishment
Many many years ago, as a young man, soon after I had left my Order's monastery to travel and learn, I met a paladin. She was old and badly scarred, and she had but one ear. I stayed with her to care for her, because it was clear she was nearing the end of her days. She told of many things, of her guild, The Keepers of the Light, her marriage to Asghan and her friendship with Serendipity and the great city of Stormwind and of a great feud with the orc named Mononmakh. I conceived a desire to travel to see this place. When she passed away I buried her high in the mountains overlooking the Sholozar basin. I journeyed for many years, and taught in the forests of Pandaria, but ever my path drew me closer ... until I arrived finally in Stormwind. and now I seek audience with those of whom she spoke so highly.

Do not removeNorthrend, I loved the Fjord, its atmosphere, the music, the topology (big thing with me, I do some 3D world building and world map making). Pretty impressed with Pandaria, the Jade Forest too
Your fondest RP memory:
Do not removethree: a massive multi guild RP back in pre BC days when Cinessa and Asghan got married at the Cathedral and a load of hungarian guilds turned up, must have been 40 or 50 RPers there
and an outstanding RP run through Karazhan with the Vanguard, we took it slow as made it as real as possible, totally in character (though we did the raid instructions via sound)
plus the annual Moonglade fair down at tanaris, cross faction RP was great and I still think the orc Monomakh was one of the best RPers around

Do not removeI remember them as one of the best RP guilds in Moonglade, along with the KotL and the Cathedral and the Mithril Guard (who were huge in those days)

Any thoughts or questions you wish to ask the guild?:
Do not removeI am not a DPS technician - for me WoW is not about mad rampant gearing - I take it slow and enjoy it .. I dont rush so I am always low in DPS and havent done any dungeons or raids in a group since WotLK and I miss that aspect - but got so fed up with loud mouthed rude a*holes in the randoms I gave up. I was a good tank and healer, but i am a bit slow at DPS and need supportive friends around me - especially as I am still getting up to speed with Legion
