The Beautiful Storm: Thunderstruck

This week's Grand Event is brought you by: "Oh s**t! I forgot about writing a news post!" So let's get straight to business:

The Scroll of the Wolf. The blade known as Umbra. These are the tools that will lead to Briidrunstrun's downfall, but all will be in vain if the Tribe doesn’t find the weapon that is capable of killing the Storm Wolf: Spear of the Hunter. And with each day the Bringer of the Beautiful Storm is getting closer to achieving his ultimate goal: godhood. Will the letter from Arvamea change the tides of the upcoming war?

"Alpha,

I'll make it quick.

The followers of the Storm Wolf are amassing in Craglorn, and I know why: They're looking for the Spear - And I know where it is.

Find me in Belkarth

A."

Tomorrow at 17:00 (UK)/18:00 (Euro) we meet in Belkarth, Craglorn! Will the wolves of the Bloodmoon get the Spear before their enemies? See for yourself!

1st of October changes - please read

Greetings. As you know, the Tribe is constantly changing and evolving. And recently we decided (Alpha and Venerated Elders) that it's high time to bring some big changes to the guild. First of all, the new feature that will be added to the guild is none other than Rules. Yes, rules. Now as you know we already have some informal rules, but it didn't work as good as we intended them to and with the upcoming One Tamriel update we have decided that it is the best time for an action like that. So, in few days you shall see our new rules (in spirit of our theme we called it the Litany of the Wolf) being rolled out to you.

Second change is that the rank of “Unbitten Ones” is being removed. We're becoming a werewolf-only guild. If somebody desires to join the Bloodmoon Tribe but hasn’t been bitten, our sacred duty is to deliver them the gift of Hircine. The current Unbitten Ones in our guild will have time to get bitten until 01.10.16 or they shall be removed from the Tribe.

There will be some changes with recruiting new people too - but this shall be explained on a later date.

In lighter news: the idea of a guild fee was ultimately dropped out, but the guild needs your money for the upcoming housing update sometime at the end of this year/beginning of New Year.

Last but not least – due to his much appreciated effort on creating and maintaining our Discord channel, brother @thebone147 has been elevated to the rank of Sacred Hunter! Howl in his name!

Eternal Hunt of 24/09/16

The HUNT is ON!

Eternal Hunt is the PvP/PvE Grand Event! So again prepare for a evening with your packmates hunting, killing and doing what werewolves do best: slaughtering enemies! We meet in our guild chat and decide what to do - if we got 4 people, dungeons and craglorn awaits! If more Cyrodill awaits! If we manage to get 12 peole... well then... Trails await!

What we will do or what will we pick, depends on you!

Bring you tabard, put on you headphones with/without speakers, beacuse we HUNT! Be on chat this Saturday at 17:00(UK)/18:00 (EURO) and lets all enjoy the thrill of the hunt!

A BIG "Thank You"

The Hunter Games winner is @Ayleen1412, who received 10 000 gold, proved to be the ultimate hunter and received a unique temporary rank - "Tribe's Champion"!

Well, yesterday's event was a stunning success. Since the summer break we haven't had such a nice frequency that oscillated between 7 and 10 brothers and sisters of the Tribe. Thank you for coming and competing!

Last year, when I formed the Bloodmoon Tribe along with Ari I didn’t have a clue that I'll be having a website and a Steam Group. We just wanted to get some friends and hang out with other werewolf players. New people, new ideas "Let's do some Role Play", "How about some PvP", etc. With every new active player the Tribe grew stronger, and became more dynamic. And I look at the past and see that after a year, we host a grand event almost every week (~ 45 Grand Events were held) and host small scale events like Moon Raffle or Huntsman's Feast. We saw many ambitious projects (like Bloodmoon Tribe GER) who either failed or were incorporated to the daily affairs of our little guild. It still hurts me that every quarter of a year we must purge our ranks of inactive members, but it's better to be honest, with everyone bragging that they have 431 members, but only 20 of them are active.

What the most important part is, that we are still here, growing, experimenting on new ideas and having FUN. As the guild master I met a plethora of interesting people, many who are still with the Tribe. We keep in contact and we still play ESO. Some were even present when we were just getting started. Sure, we had arguments, fallouts, or false accusations - but in the end we kept together. That's why I welcome you every time with "greeting brothers and sisters of the Tribe" or something similar. We've grown to like each other, hence we still use our nickname “the Family” (of monsters). Because we are - not bound by blood, but bound by bytes of data and a werewolf template - but it is a family bond. We have so many small day-to-day rites when we meet or just talk idly that people stopped seeing, 'cause they are used to it by now.

As we enter the New Year for our guild I see changes on the horizon - Hunt of the Week is just a start. We are incorporating rules that while they exist nowadays, they weren't official. It's time to change that. There's more and with the upcoming new content (One Tamriel, houses, duels) we have a brave new world awaiting us. I'm sure we'll manage - we went through so much, that now any challenge is not hard for us.

Why? Because we are the Tribe, we are the Family.
And as your Alpha, I am forever grateful.

Thank you.

GREAT HUNT Scheldue

A quick reminder that tomorrow we will host our birthday party event - the GREAT HUNT! As this probably is going to be the longest event in the Tribe's history, here's a short timetable for all of the things that will happen:

16:00 (UK)/17:00 (EU) - The Great Hunt begins! A two hour PvP/PvE event which mirrors our standard Eternal Hunt rules - depending of the size of the group we either go to a dungeon, Cyrodiil or we perform a Trial!

18:00 (UK)/19:00 (EU) - Hunter Games start. Or, the Great Werewolf Race. Earn 10 000 gold and the title of "Master of the Hunt" (for a limited time). Entry costs 1 000 gold, but the glory and honours will last forever!

19:00 (UK)/20:00 (EU) - The Annual Anniversary Lottery comes to a draw! Have a laugh, win a few prizes, and have a feeling that your ticket is helping out the guild! There are still ticket numbers left, which you can buy! Check them HERE!

About 20:00 (UK)/21:00 (EU) - the event ends, if there are still people interested we can host an after-party with dancing and doing silly stuff!

Have fun!

Hunter Games

Are you ready to be the ultimate hunter?

 During the Great Hunt there will be held a special contest, called the Hunter Games, in which YOU can prove that you are the ultimate hunter! What is this so-called Hunter Games, you ask? It's a race across the Rift in which you show how good you are as a werewolf! There will be only two rules players will need to know:

- You have to race in the werewolf form
- If you can't sustain your werewolf form and transform back into your normal character, you lose.

Oh, and you need to get from point A to B of course.

The winner of this contest not only will win eternal glory, but also 10 000 gold in cold hard cash and a temporary special rank within the guild: "The Master of the Hunt". The catch? A 1 000 gold to secure your entry in this contest (and help with the guild's finances)! Remember, this Saturday during the Great Hunt prove to others that you are the ultimate hunter!

Speaking of which, there are still tickets left for the Great Hunt Lottery! See them here:

1ST ANNIVERSARY LOTTERY!

Introducing: Hunt of the Week

Celebrating this week’s 1st anniversary of the guild, we're also introducing new ideas! And one of them is “Hunt of the Week”. You may noticed that in our in-game guild page there is a section called: “Message of the Day”. On the MotD we inform you about this week's upcoming Grand Event and next week’s one too. Well, from now on, under those there will be a new section called "Hunt of the Week". This will be a small, ongoing and repetitive weekly PvP/PvE event with certain goals in mind. For instance, there might be HotW focused purely on training Veteran Crypt of Hearts in order to improve and get some sweet, sweet loot. Other Hunts can focus on going to Cyrodiil and... fishing. Sounds dull, but if you think that fishing behind enemy lines for the "Master Angler" title is easy, try it on your own. This weekly event will hopefully make up for people who want to do some raids, but can't come to the Eternal Hunt.

You guys wanted more PvP/PvE events? We’ve got you covered! Starting Sunday the 18th the Hunts will be an integrated part of the Bloodmoon Tribe's project "To Further Exceed Europe's Best Werewolf Guild!"(TFEEBWG in short).

And also the anniversary lottery! There are still tickets left! And some of them are really, really something! Don't hold out on your cash, ‘cause buying those tickets is: a) worth it, b) if not worth it then funny, c) helping the guild cover its fees! The lottery will conclude on the GREAT HUNT this Saturday!

The Beautiful Storm: Scroll of the Wolf

The Realm of Mad Architect awaits

We return to RP events and we continue the Beautiful Storm Saga! This time, a the enigmatic Fatebinder finally calls the wolves of the Bloodmoon to help.

"Boss,

Two things. I managed decypher the journal from that Runa lass. There were some interesting things in most important of them were the possible locations of the Briidsomething's wereabouts. According to the records, most of them lead up to Wrothgar. But interesting enough, in hte last entries there were also reports of the some of that wolfmeat scumbag followers were gathering in Craglorn. My guess? They are looking for something there, but it's just a guess.

Also, Red was researching some info about "The First Heretic" a Ashalander/early Temple story of some sort for Helseth. According to her, some of it's fragments were stored in a place called the Hall of Justice in Vivec City. It dosen't specify what it is all about, so I'm guessing there has to be either a second journal of it might've been some correspondence between them we don't know about. But as far as I understand it's not relevant to the whole Storm Lord thing.

Second thing: the Galos fella, delivered a message to the Manor, though he wasn't happy to see me (I wonder why) and left you a message: "It is time. Fatebinder calls." Whoever that Fatebinder fella is.

My suggestion: I'll snoop around Wrothgar and see what I can find more. Arvamea caught up on me and she took dibs on Craglorn case. From what I understand, this Fatebinder case is quite important.

Your truly,

Eboneye

PS. I left you this message in case you will be here and I'll be doing stuff for the Tribe.

PS #2. You still owe that dinner."

This Saturday at 17:00 (UK)/18:00 (Euro) We meet in the Hollow City in the realm of Coldharbour! Unfortuneatly, there will be a limit for three players only as this RP event will be held in a 4-player dungeon. Acting Alpha (Ayleen) and Venerated Elders of the Tribe will have prirority in this event - but all others are welcomed to stay around the Old Manor and await return of the three wolves (probably about 1 hour later)!

1st Anniversary Lottery!

Yes dear friends! With the upcoming Great Hunt there will be held a special anniversary lottery. Why is not called Moon Raffle like we always do? Well, in short beacuse the rules here are way different than our standard raffles. Instead of buying random ticket numbers for 500 gold each, this time you will get to chose the ticket number! Each of them has got a different price tag and in every ticket there will be a special reward! From Steam keys through armor motifs to...potato? Sure, why not! Every ticket will guarantee you a prize and laughs!

Check the tickets prices and reserve them for yourself. Send your tickets requests and gold to @onslo86 while in ESO and remember - first to buy a ticket will get it, while others will have to get a different one.

List of the ticket numbers, prices and who ownes them:

1ST ANNIVERSARY LOTTERY!

We're releasing right now only 50 tickets but if there will be a deamnd for more, we will make more!

EDIT: 6 tickets per user!

The ticket prizes will be revealed during the Great Hunt in about two weeks time!

The GREAT HUNT is upon us!

"When the Alpha calls for the Great Hunt

The Tribe answers the call"

Brothers! Sisters! The time has come! On the 8th of August 2015 Bloodmoon Tribe came to life and the time celebrate is nigh! Yes I know it's almost a month past, but there could be no better time then now to celebrate. As the first sights of Autumn comes, the wolves start hunting again. This time we hunt for the Tribe. And we celebrate it's first year in ESO! On 17th of September we will host the official guild's celebration event, The GREAT HUNT! As a big thank you from yours truly, this day will host many mini events and games. These games will include:

- A special lottery with it's grand finale on the Great Hunt - more details this Sunday!

- A ongoing PvP/PvE event - who know's if there will be twelve of us maybe we will perform our first Trial?

- A special game happening in the Rift, with 10 000 gold on the line!

Come, bring your tabard, say a funny story about the guild, give the 'ol Alpha a pat on a back and say he's doing a good job - this event is long, and will last couple of hours - prepare for that too :)
