Originally founded around a select few small guilds, the Theramore Compact organized and participated in outdoor PvP events, grand RP festivities, choreographed RP stories, a variety of contests and several raids. Since that first day, alot has changed in the membership of the Compact; leaders came and go, guilds disbanded, new guilds were formed, people joined and left their guilds or left the game entirely for a while. Compact members scattered, yet one thing stayed the same; the forged friendships stretched beyond Compact membership.

The current leadership feels that the Theramore Compact can no longer proclaim that it is a community for a few guilds; in practice it's a community for all roleplayers alike, and it's a change we wholeheartedly embrace. That being said, the Theramore Compact wishes to adopt the function of The Venture Co global roleplaying community. We feel that the Compact can form a grand tool into bringing roleplayers together, where they may otherwise feel lonely in their quest for immersion.

Given the large quantity of non-RPers on the server, one other quest we seek to complete, is keep the community as pure as possible for it's purpose; we want to be RPGeneral, not TVCoGeneral. While everyone is welcome to invite friends to these forums ( http://forums.lastbastion.org ) and our ingame chat channel /join TCGeneral, we kindly request everyone to restrict their invitations to roleplayers and do not advertise publically. We all maintain our other relations in different areas, as to reduce possible offences towards others and stay specialized as an RP community.

The Theramore Compact is an IC community with a mainly OOC effect. The IC part quickly summarized: we have been called together by Jaina Proudmoore of Theramore to fight greater evils. While in the past we have had several IC meetings to sharpen the goals and discuss recruitment, the IC progression is up for grabs; there are no current plans. The forums also have an IC part where storylines for your character or your organisation can be written down and/or developped.

The Theramore Compact is intended to be an OOC platform to host member-driven events. Practically this means that you can advertise for your events in the community and at the same time respond to other advertisements. We hope this will increase frequency of events between roleplayers, as much as it may increase the quality of these events. At the same time this means that we expect you to contribute to the events, and hopefully host one of your own. While we will always encourage events and the likes, there is no leadership responsible for hosting events (even though we often will). The only way to make sure stuff will happen is by doing it yourself; if everyone has that mentality we'll have a busy agenda soon!

To participate in the TC, you will not have to leave your guild, or be in a guild. Register on the forums, join TCgeneral chat and meet other roleplayers!
Current TC members, spread the word!

Yours,
Lavina Darkspark, representing the TC Council.
