"We are Thieves, we are Knights, we are Pillagers, we are Protectors. We are the Cartel."
We are the Ashenfold Cartel. We do not align ourselves with any nation or guild - we seek to survive the onslaught of the Dragons while bettering ourselves in turn. All may join the Cartell; all may earn protection and respect within the Ashenfold...
Contacts: Shadowedsin, Toxa Vanschiver, PeriasGift
How we are known depends on where you stand...
There are many guilds within Tyria, so many that few would ever care to glance at their dealings. To theLaw-Abiding Citizen there is simply the Trade Union or the Union, an enigmatic investment firm said to be located in both Divinity’s Reach and Hoelbrak. From their carefully placed investments the Union runs three companies each focusing on a particular object and purpose for their employers. To the Criminal there is the Cartel, an esoteric syndicate that moves throughout Tyria seeking to play the game of thrones and push things in its favor. What both sides to not understand is that this is simply the Ashenfold.
To Those Who Know Too Much the Cartel is a Society said to follow the motto of “Survive, Adapt, Prosper”. A simple code emblazoned on their lips as they aim to not only survive the Elder Dragons, but take what they can and turn it in their favor. Members of the Cartel may be villains, heroes, savants or simply soldiers. What unites them all is the notion of survival and the prosperity that comes in adapting to times haunted by Dragons.
Who are we?
The Ashenfold Cartel is a guild founded to perpetuate and create enjoyable roleplay in a communal atmosphere. We seek to excel in PvP and PvE while creating unique and ever changing storylines that are created and driven by our membership.
How do we accomplish this?
We us a combination of story events and random Roleplay to create an organic basis of storytelling. Every action has a consequence and by mixing in different forms of Roleplay from politics to simple adventure the story is never the same.
Are you heavy or light roleplay guild?
The Cartel may have themes and content which would be at home in a Heavy RP guild, but we do not ostracize those more comfortable with Light or Medium RP preferences from joining. What stories and content a player and their character take part of is left to the player's discretion. As such, we embrace the full spectrum of RP, from Light to Heavy.
General FAQ
What is the Ashenfold Cartel?
The Ashenfold Cartel is a roleplaying guild and community founded with the intent to roleplay on Guild Wars 2.
What does the Ashenfold name mean?
Ashenfold, as a name, was chosen with the word “ashen” to refer to the color gray’s neutral stance. The word “fold” was chosen to mean members within the Cartel are “all inclusive”. We chose the word “Cartel”, meaning a formal agreement between competing firms to emphasize the guilds internal conflict and changin storyline.
What type of Rp guild are you?
We classify ourselves as a community roleplaying guild, a living and breathing in-character community. We require a level of in-character reaction to what you do in game as a means to facilitate random occurrences of Rp.
How are you structured?
Our guild has an active OOC Structure and a separate IC Structure. This means that a player no matter what rank they are within the guild OOC hierarchy they always have a chance through dedication and good Rp to see their character rise to power. Now include the possibility of several different players and their characters gaming for the throne and you have the basis of what we call Dynamic Roleplay.
For this reason we also maintain a separate OOC Structure which represents the management of our community. Unlike other guilds where the Guild Leader and Officers hold power, the Officers of Ashenfold are a voluntary staff chosen to run and administer the community.
What is “Dynamic Roleplay”?
Dynamic Roleplay is Roleplay based upon the simple concept of action equating to consequence. For every action committed within the Ashenfold there is an equal and opposite reaction. Someone rises to power within the Cartel and through their actions carves out a name for themselves. At the same time they might end up alienating everyone and lose power. The result of their actions is completely up in the air as players are encourage to challenge fate and shape the guild through their decisions.
How do you plan to accomplish this?
We will accomplish dynamic change and evolution through the pusage of player driven leadership In Character and by carefully monitored Game Master storyline events. See event questions for more information.
Are you beginner friendly?
Yes, very. Our guild has its own Character Creation Guide and writes several blog entries about Roleplay. We do not reject people from our community and we try our best to help people increase their skill in Roleplay.
We also publish several guides on the subject of roleplay and lore to help newcomers get use to the world of Guild Wars 2.
Why do you have an age limit?
We require a base age of seventeen years or older, because of possible violence and content that might occur in our roleplay. We are not a cyber guild, but we do have elements you would find in an R-rated movie. You may see a lone hero take a beating or a simple villager assassinating a villain. Because of this we require the same base age cinema theaters require for seeing an R-rated movie.
How important is PvP and PvE to you?
Because of the dynamic nature of Guild Wars 2 and the systems built into it, we plan to use PvP (sPvP and WvW) and PvE as a means of enhancing the Roleplay experience. Not only do we wish for an existing presence in World Versus World, we hope to excel in both fields competitively. See event questions for more information.
What is your guild’s home-server?
Our home-server is currently Tarnished Coast. With Stormbluff Isle as our chosen overflow server.
Your guild seems pretty big, won’t I get lost in the crowd?
No, our guild is centered around member voice and player driven storyline. For this reason, although our population is quite large, we actively do our best to include all members who are willing to participate in events or just play with other members. Our guild is very friendly and we don’t limit you for two weeks before you can get into the Roleplay.
General Information
The Ashenfold was founded as a neutral organization that would hold no alignment except for that created by the membership through their actions alone. For the past two years we have continued to not only iterate our own ideas, but create a guild where members have a full say and can truly shape the In Character destiny of the Cartel itself! We are a community of roleplayers who seek to create and perpetuate dynamic Rp in the Guild Wars Universe in the spirit of Guild Wars 2.Our Stance on Rp Styles
We welcome all styles and forms of character in the RP spectrum. Instead of lashing people to a singular guild storyline we encourage an organic evolution of story through action and reaction. Magically inclined roleplayers, Game of Thrones fans, adventurers, mercs and all the like find a home in the Cartel.
Guild Features
- Separate OOC and IC Structure - Our IC and OOC guild structure is entirely separate meaning you as a player can become the IC leader of your own faction if your character can play the game of thrones!
- Player Driven and Player Designed - Entrench yourself or ignore the politics of the Cartel as you have a direct choice via democratic voting to decide the leadership of the Grandmaster (Cartel's IC leader). Us player driven factions called Societies to change the Cartel's laws and structure!
- RP Hubs and Businesses - Work in the upscale Social Club and Spa, or as criminal in the Gambling Den. Either being completely separate meaning Good, Evil and all in between can exist in the same guild!.
- Stability and Dedicated Staff - Ashenfold has existed since 2009 and was founded for GW2!
- Dynamic Rp and Roles - Ashenfold evolves with each choice of the members, and with our Role System you can define your character how you want! Want to be a bartender go for it? A merc awesome! An evil scientist mastermind, bring them on in! Through our diverse cast we tell fantastic stories and see our world evolve!
- Large but tight Knit - Our community is diverse and large, but we haven't lost that small guild feel! Everyone is welcomed right away, given a seat in our community and welcomed like an old friend!
- Applicants must be 17 years or older. Exemptions are granted upon request and thorough consideration (our about page covers this).
- Mature individuals who can abide our guild rules and accept the consequences of their actions in Rp.
- We are an ESL friendly guild, we just ask that people have grasp of the basics of English Grammar and Spelling.

Hey guys, this is our official MID JUNE update, and one that was a bit unexpected. We added this update after a thorough review of the guild. After speaking with many members and consulting with the Officer team I have implemented a few changes.
Accesibility and Removing Intimidation
Many of you guys love our lore, plain and simple, the issue here is snot everyone wants to read that much lore at once. For this reason we have wrangled and discussed in the Officer Team and I have come up with the follow solutions.
Rules Update
The Guild Policy or the Ruleset has been updated with clear defintiions and new rules dealing with communication in public channels.
We highly suggest you read it and re-familiarize yourselves with it, the new ruleset can be found here.
The Wiki We Go!
Everything in the Expanded Lore forum has been moved to the Ashenfold Wiki, this has been done to remove the large stack of lore that once dwelt on our forum. This also means we have a much cleaner organized set of categories to find everything. What this has let us do is then move a few more things around so that it is clearer what needs to be read and what is therefor for fluff.
We also cleaned up the front page a bit so that things are clearer and links are there. Finally we have added a nice Quick Guide to Joinso people aren't confused any longer about the application process
Legality, Sect Animosity and Rituals
A while back we had a thread about Sect Identification which was a huge eye opener! After that and the following Possible Contentchanges thread a lot was learned. From this we began a slew of changes sthat we hope will shake things up bit.
First, the Five Sects are and Secrets of the Cartel are gone. Yup, gone! Secrets of the Cartel is now a expanded read that details a bit more about the level of discovery one can find as they rank up in the Cartel itself!
Our new Sects of the Cartel has been buffed up with a few new features. Please note that Ashic did receive an update.
Krews and Troupes
These are what some might call Squads and Brigades (all Sects have their own Ashic term for them. These are basically groupings of Cartelites witha Krew being a regional population and a Troupe being a group of 2-5. These we hope will create internal competition and the ability for people to form power blocs that require constant diplomacy to maintain (as it should be).
A thread dedicated to noting your troupes as they form will be posted in the future, so stay alert for the future email with links to said thread!
Legality and Public Face
The Cartel is now called the Ashenfold Cartel publicly and please note this is a "pet name" used by some eccentric noble. Why did we do this? Well we wanted to make it so that people who may leave the guild can still Rp with us and this way now we can say that the big evil Cartel is nothing more than some myth dreamed up by someone.
The new Legality system creates two different viewpoints for the Cartel on the public and Low Tier 3 / Initiate level. One side is the legal point of view and the other is the illegal. With the new Secrets article these areas blend as one ranks up or seeks to discover more. We hope this will provide a much more immersive and enhanced Rp experience as we get into game.
Sect Entry Updates
The Sect Entires have all moved onto the wiki, and they include new information. Each entry now includes a more extensive set of links at the top to all worthy sect info (including the origins) and a comprehensive look at the sects business, standings (indepth with more awesome stuff). The idea here is that the information such as holdings, the current dynamics and alignment with other sects will change over time to reflect how the Sects feel towards each other.
Allegiances and Rituals
As per request there is now a article on Sect Rites and Rituals which includes information on the Initiation Rites for each sect, a Title gainng Challenge and a honor game of sorts. The new Allegiances article on the other hand has all that good internal information many of you like. This includes the History of each Allegiance, their Culture and their Business.
We have also updated the Initiation Guide to include information about the final step in joining the Cartel including the new position known as the Contact.
Podcast!
A while back we began a poll asking if people wished to revive the idea of having a guild podcast. After the poll showed interest in the idea our local IA Officer, Alexandus, began recruiting people for th idea and teamed up with GentlemenOfLeisure. The two are now hosting a new podcast which will be hosted on our Youtube Channel
If you want to discuss topics check out this thread and to help out check out the podcast recruitment thread.
The agenda for this weeks podcast held today @ 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 10 GMT can be found here. Recording for the event will be happening on our guild mumble server.
Late June Update
So we've been working a bit on our forums a bit. Our aim has been to reduce the at a glance amount of forums while providing intuitive organization. As we near launch Ashenfold has begun to buckle down and start discussing our launch plans. We are looking at setting up weekly general events that everyone can attend (this will be like tavern events). Our infamous, Night of the Fallen Ax ends at the end of next month and so for July we'll be running a series of open mini-events for fun on our new Shades of Gray Forum.
Other than that we have a new Lore Article, this one was created as a means to describe the ritualistic basis of conflict in the Cartel. It also provides a basis of intervention and basically is the "Law" of the Cartel itself. You can find out more about the it in the Code of Entente wiki page.
Finally our podcast, Ashencast, will be recording it's second episode this next weekend. We'll be doing a segment on our friends the White Aegis and we are already looking into inviting other guilds onto the cast for the future.
Have any questions just send us a tweet @ashenfoldcartel on twitter or pop on our forums ans ask a question.
Thanks!
Nice to see some RP attempt even in an mmo video game that has very few if any immersive elements that instill a sense of role-playing. But good luck, certainly.
Mid-July Update: Night Ends!
Ashenfold has had a lot going on this summer and with release almost only a month away we've gearing up to have fun in the last beta! Our new update includes the following changed and new content:
Our guild has also added a new Episode on a new Podcast segment we're calling AshenMythos! That can be found here. Please note that AshenCast is our RP centric podcast and AshenMythos is specifically aimed at the guild discuss itself as an entity
The recording of Episode 3 of AshenCast is in the works!
Ashenfold July Beta Experience!
As per the last two beta weekends Ashenfold will be throwing a series of events open to the community so we can learn more about the game we wish to Rp in! Check out more on our Experience Thread.
NO RPER LEFT BEHIND!
As a response to the original event being sponsored by Team Legacy and Tales of Tyria Ashenfold is once again opening our mumble servers to all those interested in RP, or Rpers seeking to just chill out and have fun on the beta.

October Expansion: The Aekart Fall!
So much has been going on in the Ashenfold Cartel these last few months and because of that we've been kind of quiet. After a bit of silence it is time to update everyone as to the goings on of the community!With our last update we slimmed down the Sects from Five to three to make it easier to manage. After this last expansion we focused on making things clearer and cleaning up some confusion that had arose over the past month.
Here is a full list of the updated features:
- The expansion includes the full release of the newly founded The Trust Sect which was established in the Aekart Fall short story.
- We have updated our In Character Structure to feature the new Grandmaster position. Grandmasters are elected on Quarterly schedule elections which are more fully explained here.
- Participate in open ended weekly to monthly player driven events called assignments. Where the outcome and what happens is based on the members themselves! Assignments often Rping out dynamic events, doing community based Rp investigation, missions into the mists, delving into dungeons and much more!
- And our new bi-weekly Initiation Events are proving to be a good source to RP people into the guild!
Our Timeline has also been updated with recent events from the past few weeks that have shaped the structure and power players of the Cartel.
