Twilight Assassins
| Founded on June 1, 2010 on the Scarlet Crusade server, Twilight Assassins strove to provide a family-like atmosphere for its members. Members of TA were treated as family and assisted each other in training and performance. TA participated in various in-game activities, ranging from roleplay to raiding and player vs player. Many of our members participated in arenas and high-level raids on a regular basis, but each member had the freedom to play how he wanted. Our philosophy was simple: Prosperity in a friendly environment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| At its peak, the guild boasted around 300 characters. Cataclysm brought significant changes to the game, and with those changes our membership declined. Some members returned sporatically, and the guild was revitalized during Legion and Battle for Azeroth. A second guild opened during this period on the Wyrmrest Accord server, with a peak of around 50 members. However, Shadowlands saw another decline in active membership, and the guild officially shut down August 30, 2021. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Twilight Assassins were formed under Thrall's leadership with the intention of handling threats that required a delicate touch. TA's formation
was a direct response to the Scourge threat, but after the Lich King's demise, the assassins were redirected to deal with the Twilight Cult within
Orgrimmar and other locations. However, when Thrall stepped down as warchief and gave that title to Garrosh Hellscream, the new warchief did not
wish to simply continue with the old ways. Even as the Twilight Cult was whittled down one by one, Hellscream ordered the Assassins disbanded and
sent the Kor'kron guard to dismantle their operations. Lost and without a home, the nameless guild turned to whatever friends they could find, and found refuge at the Gallywix Pleasure Palace. For the next several years, the Assassins posed as a simple trading guild with the sole purpose of providing entertainment. However, the guild continued to operate in the shadows, with various members acting independently both around Azeroth and in the newly-discovered Pandaria. They realized that Hellscream was becoming more and more unstable, and began allying themselves with Vol'jin's rebellion. With Garrosh dethroned, the Assassins were once again able to operate without interference. They quickly reestablished bases of operations, both on Azeroth and in the past world of Draenor. Their first task was to stop the Iron Horde and Garrosh at all costs. With weapons in hand and hearts full of courage, the assassins slipped into the shadows to fulfill their purpose once again. At its height, just before the Legion's second invasion, the guild maintained bases scattered across Azeroth, Outland, and Draenor. Losses were sustained during this invasion and the subsequent conflicts, first between the Horde and the Alliance, and later with Sylvanas herself. All of these losses depleted the guild's resources and manpower, and those members who remained were soon disenfranchised with the ever-increasing conflict. Today, the Twilight Assassins is all but unknown, and only a few members remain. Most of the former members have moved on to other lives, and those that remain keep to the shadows. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
