Who we are:

Our founder is Zathur, a balance druid, whose experience in other WoW guilds lead him to create one that had more depth than the usual omnipotent-sounding guilds so prevalent on a PvP server. While technically sound, previous guild raid leaders or persons in charge of various things were often too young to understand people and relational concepts, creating havoc and drama unintentionally. Some of these created a gear-centrific culture more interested in collecting the “next great thing” for themselves and close friends. As a result, on June 13, 2007, The Nemeton was created.

Vahe
Draenei: Shaman

Vahe, a restoration shaman, has been an officer with The Nemeton since it was a week old, working to create the flourishing and respected guild that it is today. Since December 2008, Vahe has been guildmaster, building a strong competent membership through the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions.

Maureen lives on Vancouver Island and enjoys the sports that come with life in a coastal city. She is a dragon boat racer and coach in the summer and works with her husband in his physician recruitment service.

Elrohir
Night Elf: Druid

Having seen the light and given up his evil horde warlock to come play on Ursin back at the release of BC, Elrohir is an amazing druid tank with a passion for feral dps. Having been part of other guilds on the server, he came to The Nemeton looking for an opportunity to contribute to raids. Finding both friendliness and a community of great people, he lead The Nemeton raiding teams through the Lich King expansion and is now enjoying being one of the gang.

His reduction in play time for Cataclysm is the result of an addition to his family, a girl born earlier in the year. A mechanical engineer living in Chicago, Dave can now be found online at odd hours of the night as he rocks his daughter back to sleep.

Lightcloud
Human: Priest

Lightcloud is the latest in a list of amazing characters who use ‘cloud’ as a patronym, the most notable being Silvercloud, the warrior. Whether fending off horde masses in battlegrounds, keeping raid tanks still swinging their weapons in desperate situations or raid dps lighting up bosses, Lightcloud can always be counted on in the clutch.

Outside of the game, you can find David in a lab, pondering biochemical properties of various microscopic beasties.

Remiah
Human: Warrior

Remiah has chosen the path of a protection warrior, guarding us from the fearsome dragons and denizens of the Twilight Bastion, Blackwing Descent and Throne of the Four Winds. When not picking fights with stuff much bigger than himself, requiring nine others to bail him out .. he spends his days charging headlong into raids and heroic instances as a kickass fury warrior, delivering twice the hurt with two big blades.

Dave balances badassery with a real life working in finance, where one would hope that he’s not allowed to have sharp objects.

Maestus
Worgen: Warrior

The warrior Meastus has a place of honor in a list of exceptional characters including the shaman Déjàvu, priest Creator and deathknight Necromonger. No matter which character he’s playing, he brings exceptional insight and dps (or healing as the case may be). A friend of Vahe since she began playing World of Warcraft, The Nemeton is the third time they’ve been guildies.

A button-down, tie-wearing lease consultant during the daylight hours, nighttime often sees Nick sporting plate and the biggest, most badass blade a hero can find.

Iorekbyrn
Night Elf: Druid

In last expansion, Iorekbyrn fought the Lich King with the power of Rejuvenation. This time, he’s lighting up the skies with Eclipses and Solar Flares .. and a few treants thrown in for good measure. Iorekbyn probably holds the distinction of being the most fair-minded person in game ... there should be achievements for that.

With a bit more work at his North Carolina university, Clinton’s degree will see him settle down with a job in finance, and a fiancé who currently attends college in Indiana.

Elegantfear
Night Elf: Death Knight

A deathknight who tanked and lead groups of intrepid raiders against the might of the Lich King high atop his fortress of ice, Elegantfear has now brought his love of the frost dps specialization to the fiery depths of Deathwing’s hellish realm. For Elegantfear in Cataclysm, the harsh hard-rocking clank of parrying steel has mellowed into the much more gentle sounds of crunching bones.

A student of criminal justice in Missouri, this year finds Michael particularly immersed in his studies, but he still manages to find time to hang out with his friends in game. Outside, he’s related to Lightcloud and shares that same sort of boyish charm and enthusiasm for life.

Alkagari
Human: Mage

A mage with a penchant for hurling balls of fire at sometimes unsuspecting Horde, you can often find Alkagari gleefully melting faces in battlegrounds or raids. He’s always willing to lend a hand with the mundane things like bank transfers or the trickier questions of proper mage badassery.

A web design genius, Andy is the driving force behind the changes and innovations you see on The Nemeton website and forums. Living in Kansas, Andy is single and looking for a lovely lady who owns a pair of ruby slippers.

Everburn
Gnome: Mage

As a tiny lad growing up in Oregon, he never dreamed that one day he’d grow up to hold the power of fiery death within his hands. Truth to tell, however, Everburn never really grew up .. he’s a gnome. Nor did he get over his affinity for sheep .. so he moved to Montana.

A call center manager, Bryan has that most special of all things .. a wife who plays World of Warcraft. At the time of this writing, they have 2.5 kids.



What we are:

Grove

Themed around druidic culture, we pride ourselves on being a friendly group of adults who take pleasure in helping fellow guildies as they level and go about their daily play. We allow members to play their character in a spec of their own choosing and will work them into our raids as we can. Having said that, if a players chooses a spec that does not lay down top dps or provide necessary raid buffs, invitations to raids might not come until we have instances on farm status.

We are an end-game raiding guild with somewhat of a laid back approach to attendance. We do expect that members make it when they sign up for a raid, but we also know that juggling work schedules, kids, homework and real life has precedence over a game.



Just what is a nemeton anyway?

Grove

Close to earth and nature, druids observed the waxing and waning of seasons within a grove of sacred trees, oak being chiefest in the hierarchical importance of woods. This circle of trees, which would bear witness to the festivals marking the march of seasons, was called a nemeton.



Our tabard:

Just as the ancient druids observed holy rites and celebrations in the grove by the light of the moon, so does the world tree on our tabard symbolize a collection of stalwart people observing the formation of something equally exceptional ... friendship.

The world tree in midnight black is stitched upon the green expanse of the forest canopy. The rich emerald tabard makes us easy to spot across the Stormwind commons... it is representative of our druidic background ... and is a very striking rallying point on a battlefield standard.
