- "We are Oberyn's Bastards - Vengeance of the Red Viper"
We are Martell bannermen dedicated to the realms of Dorne. We come from the Red Mountains to bring the power of Sunspear to the lands of Westeros.
We establish our Bastard camps in different regions each AvA phase, but we can always be found helping our brethren in Dorne. Two-time Superlative winners, we hold patience and persistence as our mantra. Over four years of experience with daily players give us the advantage of wisdom plus the strength of our 243 glorious & beautiful Dragons which are now gracing the skies over Westeros.
Oberyn's Bastards - We fight if we must, but we'd rather be in a brothel
Bring us your Squires, your Moors, your Bloodied Bastards, yearning to fight free! The retching drunkards and your seeming whore. Send these, the bed-less, tempestuous tossed, to me: We drop our trou beside the golden spear!
Have you logged-in to find your troops slaughtered, again, and your alliance nowhere to be found? Are you tired of being used as cannon-fodder? Are your Boss-Quest invites ignored? Is your witty repartee wasted on an empty A-chat?
Perhaps you're a Bastard too!!!
OBERYN’S BASTARDS are seeking bannermen in support of House Martell and the lands of Dorne. Come help expand our Bastard camps across Westeros and join us in building a team community dedicated to the pursuit of fun, frivolity, and the occasional slaughter of our many mighty enemies.
We are a fearless Tier 2 Alliance with a core of daily players from around the globe. We are always on the look-out for like minded individuals or a small alliance group to join our merry pranksters in pursuit of fame, fortune and the ever so coveted AvA Regional and Superlative titles. Our team has a strong reputation as ferocious Sell-Swords, bringing regional victories in every engagement we have accepted. Our Officers are experienced Title winners with a lust for blood, and knowledge of the game that brings death and horror to our opponents. Competitive by nature and casual by intent; we believe in individual responsibility and leadership by committee. The only rule and dictate is that, there are no rules or dictates – sans one – You must have fun. It’s a damn game people!!
We are n00b friendly and welcome new players with respect and mostly well-intentioned advice. Ideally, we are seeking advanced beginners through upper-level players. Expert players would be heartily welcomed but will find only partners, not worshipers. Cry-babies need not apply. The Bastard team dynamics are continually evolving to build the most player oriented alliance we can create. Our diversity is our foundation and loyalty is our strength.
Fluency in Dwarvish, Klingon, Wookie and/or Dothraki will be considered a bonus.
Benefits
The Bastards are an alliance on the rise; regularly finishing AvA cycles in the Top 15 of Dorne and Top 50 Overall. We are building a team rather than a zoo – We want to know you. We’re in this game for the long haul, and want players that are looking for a home and friends to share it. Eclectic and silly chats have regularly found most of us laughing into the wee hours of the mornings. We have discovered that the best part of the game is the camaraderie we have built.

Achievements
Our AvA participation began mid-way through the Thunder Phase and we have steadily improved over the following phases to become a strong, Top 15 team overall and Top 10 in Dorne. Our primary purpose as an alliance is for our players to have fun, grow their character, and reach their personal game goals. Along the way, we have made good friends and inexplicably, a couple of devoted enemies. If you have ever been abandoned, forgotten or left to die while your alliance ran - you might be a Bastard too.

Legends and Lore
The Viper's Bannermen began this journey in the Red Mountains of Dorne. House Martell had called banners and our loyal warriors responded. Nineteen stout hearts and willing souls ventured north not realizing that the journey upon which they were embarking would lead them to glory and death in every corner of Westeros and meet their collective end facing the oblivion of the Long Night together, unbowed, unbent and unbroken; Martells to the last.
