Overview

Military guilds, while rp, are oriented towards pvp. Specifically attack or defending. These guilds usually hold an allegiance to their races or either the Horde or Alliance. Some, however have been seen rebelling against their own factions and forming rogue groups.

Name

There are many of these guilds and a lot of names you choose can have been already taken. Do not use names such as the Stormwind Guard or Thrall's Guard. The odds are these names have been taken and they are not that imaginative anyway. Names like Tirisfal Bastion or Northshire Knights might not be taken. You may find ideas turning to the Warcraft Series or books for inspiration. Tolkien is not a good idea for names, it just won't work.

Tabard

Your tabard should be militaristic. The eye or the scroll symbol are not good ideas, they reflect on more lore type guilds than you. Crossed swords, battle axes or something other might work but they are not the most original out there and may be in use. This could cause a clash with other rp guilds if you inadvertently copy their tabard.

Ranks

Always use original names in roleplaying guilds. Your race's military could help here. humans might have ranks like knight or cleric while blood elves might have ranks like Ranger-General or Farstrider. The Gnomes are based around their technology. Examples by race(examples are not last word):
