The First Era

“The Birth”

“You friend, who walks among the dangerous paths of Azeroth, stay around, for I shall tell you a story of the bravest Alliance souls I have ever met. In those days some called it “The Moonlight Council”, some may say its still around, some may say it was re-born from the dark ashes of time has the Phoenix once did, some may just not say nothing at all.”

“But enough of rumors friend, let us focus on the known facts…”

“In the old days of April 22nd, 2005 when the night was young and the shady bunch grouped in the brave city of StormWind, on the agenda was the birth of the new Guild, one who would be able to stand upon its own two feet, who would combine the best that there is. So Odinn and Crestwalk from the Moonlight Followers alongside with Tawnie and Armenek from the Council of Azeroth reached an agreement and a new alliance was formed, the Moonlight Council would be born under the lead of Odinn and Tawnie and later on Tirlana.”

The name of the Guild itself represents two of the three birth guilds, the Moonlight Followers (Who were under the lead of Thalor and Odinn) and the Council of Azeroth (who was leaded by Tawnie), The Moonlight Council was born for a single day when the Obsidion Fist Guild wished to join us to improve and strengthen the ranks of the “Moonlight Council”, the newborn guild had on its lead Odinn alongside with Tawnie and Tirlana who had made an agreement to share decisions and to stop thinking about the past guilds to share only visions of a prosperous future, there was no more Followers, no more Council, no more Obsidion, there was only The Moonlight Council, some time after, some Coalition members and some from the Kuryami Guild joined with the Moonlight Council bringing forth the last remaining strength needed to fully reach out for end game content.

The Moonlight Council Officers struggled many times to keep the guild moving and to make it a fair, yet reliable environment, but sometimes disagreements happen, nonetheless they would only improve the guild, for what could not kill us could only make us stronger. With time several changes happened on the officers team since the Guild was born, but each and every time it happened was for the best of the guild and each decision was taken with pride.

The Moonlight Council guild had always the great support of many of its players and members who proudly worked for the Guild’s sake and survival, between many of these we name a few of the most known ones, such as Odinn, Tawnie, Tirlana, Louise, Fellex, Mindbrake, Crestwalk, Jamrop, Anikki, Hexia, Absolution, Nocturnus, Kharmen, Ivan, and many many more that helped to make Moonlight Council one of the top guilds on the the Deathwing Realm.

The Moonlight Council started doing Molten Core with cooperation runs alongside First Blood Guild who under the raid leading of Tileal moved slowly inside the first endgame content instance.

Later on with Odinn and Crestwalk raid leading the Guild advanced further into the instance, but with the coming of Jamrop and Anikki to the leading ranks the Council unleashed its true potential inside MC and the newly opened instance, Blackwing Lair.

Due to its “late birth” the guild was not able to claim the first clean kill on Ragnaros, yet due to its hard work and commitment on BWL Moonlight Council was able to claim the first clean kill on Razorgore the Untamed on the Deathwing server.

Odinn was the official guild leader since day one until the end of October where due to real life situations passed on the lead to Jamrop.

“But the history is not over yet my friend, far from truth indeed for this is only the beginning…”

Jamrop took the lead of Moonlight Council and along the way Moonlight Council conquered Blackwing Lair and later reached the end of Ahn’Qiraj. But dark times approached this Guild. Meanwhile the guild changed to the newly opened Talnivarr realm, although with a couple members staying behind in old DeathWing, Moonlight Council moved foward.

Over the times a conflict inside Moonlight Council started raging between Jamrop and Anikki which sadly ended up breaking the Council into two, during the start of Khel’Thuzad’s attack over Azeroth.

The more elitist members of Moonlight Council left and formed a new guild named DO leaded by Anikki, with goals to form an hardcore guild. Some followed when seeing their friends departing aswell, others lost hope on the old Council, very few remained still wondering if they would stay or leave still with companions on both sides. In the end, only a small group of brave heroes stayed behind with the Council close to the end of its existence.

“And so darker moments struck over the Moonlight Council, divided and thorn apart few remained and fewer had hopes of survival, but the Council lived through and with hard work between sweat and tears the Council was once again reborn and so, The Second Era came forth, showing us new blood and new alliances but always under the same hopes and dreams that brought us together in the beginning…”



The Second Era

“Rise forth new blood, for you shall be the hope of the new Council!”

Old leaders have departed and new leaders have risen and so the rebuild started, with all our might we worked for a better future, united once more the Moonlight Council is walking forth with its head held up high, with the good knowledge and memories from the past, Absolution took a temporary lead for the Rebuild supported by Nocturnus, Ivan, Kharmen, Piranha and all the new members who commited has a new family and together brought back light to where many could only see Darkness.

And again due to real life situations the guild leader for the rebuild, Absolution had to leave the lead, passing it onto he who most deserved it, Nocturnus.
Nocturnus stood up and took the challenge to a higher level, with great effort and a strong lead and with all the support from the newborn officer team the guild restarted doing end game content with the aid of Justice Guild during 2006 summer re-experiencing Molten Core and Blackwing Lair.

“But if you wish to know, time itself aided the Council, for soon after the rebuild started they could stand on their own two feet once again…”

And soon after the Moonlight Council was able to start doing Onyxia, Molten Core and Blackwing lair once again with no more then their own members, under the raid leading of Nocturnus and the comeback Odinn the guild progressed further and stood united against the new challenges presented to it.

Nocturnus kept the hard work up, the guild committed and stood tall to face every new challenge.



The 3rd Pass

“To the new Moonlight Council the Guild comes first, for their ties are stronger than blood.”

“Moonlight Council had been through its troubles in vanilla and it was sure to face similar in the future, but survived due to the determination of a few who stood by its values of kinmanship, a family who would fight to overcome all enemies of the alliance, a clan who would not lay down its arms till the last man, woman and child was dead, such kinmanship that had been lost in the times past had been reignited and TBC became Moonlight Council's crusade!”

Along the path, a few of the old souls were lost but not forgotten, such as Nocturnus, Ivan, Kharmen, Irae, Odinn, as others..
As leadership fell into the hands of Olorin(aka Béorn), they slowly progressed through Kara until again in our history the guild became split, the journey became longer and more of a struggle and the march for the few existing officer became not a burden but a duty, to serve the alliance of Azeroth MLC had to survive, so survive it they would, Olorin, Biogi and Nemon were of a few who stayed to rebuild what had been torn apart from beneath their feet and rebuild they did, to what became an un-stopable force within TBC, the past experiences of MLC had given people stats that didn't show in game, and these experiences were to ensure the survival of the kinmanship that was initially formed in 2005 and would survive as long as Azeroth did!

The battle for Kara went on for months, new kinsmen were recruited and new bonds made and we grew to become the fighting force we had been before, but better, Fohrseti took charge of healers, Wilbee the tanks and Béorn the dps and we marched and we marched through Gruuls lair, Magtheridon, SSC, TK, MH, BT and into SWP!

Yes as any guild did we hit our stumbling blocks but our determination brought us through to continue our battles, we had anticipated a prosperous future at this time but yet again fate decided to throw us a huge knockback just before WOTLK so the officers and dedicated members decided to move server and start again in a more populated server to secure our future within the WoW community. Béorn, Fohrseti, Wilbee, Goldice, Fliza, Wildy, Vlad, Nemon just to name a few, started a fresh on Kul'Tiras and took Naxx by storm!

"Old Times do haunt back and in history, apart the Guild was again. But as the Sun comes down and the Moon rises every night to shine it's light upon us, the Council reforms itself with true soldiers of the alliance and to unite an unstopable force upon the evil that stands before us, as they have done in the past!"

From Master through recruit, Moonlight Council's blood runs in through their veins, containing the teachings of the past, the experience of a lifetime and the courage of our forefathers. And so, we cannot fail in our ambition to be THE BEST WE CAN BE!

On this day we are proud to be a part of this history and we will continue to be part of its future as the pride we have within us all will carry us forward. As history is written, futures are created and mark my words MLC will exist for an eternity yet to come.


“Today my friend, they stand stronger than before, for they have the knowledge of a strong past behind them and the hopes of a better future among themselves, but friend the history I told you today, it is true and mark my words for the Moonlight Council still exists and always will for many times to come.”
