Atlantic:Defining the HoA

What is the Awakening?

The Heralds of the Awakening is an organization like no other. There is no one person responsible for our work here, rather, it is a collection of individuals working together to serve the community in a variety of ways. Many have asked for us to outline the goals of the HoA. No easy task this, but hopefully this document will serve as an education in regards to the nature of our organization. And perhaps even inspire you to find your own place within our walls.

Defining the HoA

The HoA is many things. It is an alliance, it is a think tank. It is a meeting place, it is a forum. It is passion, it is understanding. It is a beacon of hope, it is a moment of peace.

But, do not be confused. The HoA is not a church, as there is a difference between religion and Spirituality. We are not a war council, although we do not deny that use of force is a reality in our realm. We are not an elitist organization, because it is only through our diversity that we are strongest. And although this may not spell out the specifics of our organization, we hope that it at least gives you insight into the nature of who we are.

Our Goals

It is nearly impossible to capture the depth and breadth of our goals in a simple document. So much of what we do resides within the realm of the heart, that mere words do not do justice. But for our purposes, we shall endeavor to give you a glimpse of our vision.

♦ Championing the Cause of Virtue

The HoA is an organization built upon the foundation of the 8 Virtues. The insight and inspiration of the 8 Virtues is infused throughout our work. Each of the 8 Virtues is represented by an individual, who then works to serve the realm in various capacities. Whether through education, events or quests, the Oracles, Sages and Heralds work together to bring the message of the Virtues to everyone.

♦ Building Community

The HoA is a roleplay organization. And as such, we serve the various roleplay communities in the realm. And although we work to create venues for a richer roleplay landscape, we are by no means excluding anyone from our cause. If there is one thing to remember about the HoA, it is this:

           There is a place for everyone in the Awakening.
     

If you have lamented your lot in life, if you have wondered how you could enrich your time spent within realm, then look no further. Whether a part of guild or an individual, the HoA is the common ground for people to share their ideas, their hopes...their dreams for the future.
