Raid Times
Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday from 7-10p CST (9 hours/week)
---
The Ashen Order is now seeking to expand our core raid team from 10 to 25 members in anticipation of Warlords of Draenor’s new 20 team raid format. Currently, our team consists of 16 regular members who are 6/14 Heroic in the Siege of Orgrimmar. Our plan is to expand the roster slowly toward 25 and switch to the 25-man format as soon as we have the team for it.
Loot distribution is Loot Council, as we feel that’s the best way to strengthen the team.
The Ashen Order is very team oriented. We do what it takes to make the team stronger and progress as far as we can. We aren’t elitist, but we don’t want to settle for mediocrity. We are looking for raiders who are solid team players. Members who take the time to perfect their knowledge of their class, who come to the raid prepared (gemmed, enchanted, consumables, etc.) to face the challenges in front of us.
Qualifications
• At this point, ILVL isn’t important to us, player attitude and commitment is. If you are ilvl 570 with an epic cloak but you have a toxic attitude, we’re not interested. If you’re ilvl 500 returning to the game from an extended break with a fresh outlook and a desire to be the best you can be, please apply, you might not raid on progression nights right away, but the guild will help you get where you need to be.
• You will attend 80% of our raid times and will let us know when you won’t be there ahead of time if possible
• You will keep yourself properly gemmed/enchanted and do the very best you can on every single pull
• You will run the raid required addons (DBM, GTFO) and chat software (Mumble)
• The ability to give and receive constructive, respectful criticism
• Mature/Relaxed attitude, you must be over 21 to join this guild
• A healthy sense of humor

History of the Ashen Order
The Ashen Order was founded at the end of the Cataclysm expansion by Zelarosa, Aily, and Melisan. We took our name from the order of Monks in Everquest, and we take our philosophy from The Dude (The Dude Abides). As we moved into Mists of Pandaria we started building our new raid team and by the end of Tier 14 we were able to clear all the encounters on normal mode and even had a few heroics under our belt. Continuing into Tier 15, we cleared all the normal encounters within 8 weeks and were 5/12H when Siege of Orgrimmar was released. We are now 6/14H in the Siege of Orgrimmar. We have many non-raiding members as well, and a strict "no asshats" policy to limit guild drama.
About Whisperwind
Whisperwind is an Alliance dominated (about 4:1) PVE server in the CST Time zone, based in the Chicago datacenter. It has a very healthy raiding population and is currently ranked 30th for progress and 11th for overall raiding population for Alliance for US based servers (according to wowprogress.com). It is considered a High-pop server but has yet to have a login queue. Whisperwind is a connected realm to Dentarg, which allows us to have 22 character slots instead of 11. While there are some PvP guilds and some people/guilds do organized PvP, it is not a focus of this server.
