The Sanctuary

Kindly conjured up by Ellaena:

The Bloodtusk warrior squatted, his back to a tree and hidden in the emerald shade of the large Stranglethorn bush. Warily his eyes scanned the surrounding foliage as he nervously shifted his grip on the short spear resting across his knee. Licking his lips he quietly flexed his muscles, the prolonged wait and posture could cause painful cramps if he was not careful. But he could not risk standing now.

Greetings talking beasts and magic addicted.

Normally I do not do this, but since time is urging I made up my mind to reveal my presence sooner than later.

As my powers continue to return my perception becomes greater as it was before.
In my visions I have seen the terror and the danger that threatens your pitfull existence.

Read my warning, THE FALLEN PRINCES ARE MAKING THEIR MOVE.

The magic addicted Elves will be the first to feel it. Prepare yourselves, for tonight your beloved king will return to your city and claim your source of power.

You have been warned, be prepared or die.

A Friend

The former Sanctuary member was last seen near Deadwind Pass. Despite having lifted the curse over Graktar Windreaver, she has not relinquished her practice of necromantic magic, and is suspected to be working on a nefarious scheme that could put the whole of Azeroth into danger.

Syilla Blackheart is a young orc with brown hair, worn in a single long braid. Recent accounts describe her as wearing a dark purple hood that obscures her face, and riding a large demonic horse. She also carries a sharp glowing sword.

If you see her, notify a member of the Sanctuary immediately. Do not engage her. She is to be considered extremely dangerous and capable of anything.

The Mithril Guard is organising another Steamwheedle Faire. You have to hand it to the dwarves, they know how to throw a party. More information here.

‘Twas the Week Before Winter’s Veil

A big, cuddly black Tauren dressed in what appears to be a red Santa’s outfit crashes through the door, snapping it off its hinges unintentionally

“Yarr!” He bellows at you, a big wide grin on his furry face, “‘Tish…Err…TIS the sheashon to be…umm…” He hiccups and stumbles around in a drunken haze for a few moments (only destroying two bits of furniture) before continuing.

“Sod that, I’ll shay it me own way. It be the season fer merriment, togetharness, presents….and lots and lots and LOTS of ale! Aye that’s right landlubber, Winter’s Veil ish a’comin! And to celebrate, tharr is gonna be a party on the eve of the 18th of December. Now it ain’t no big party…just a small gatherin’ fer members of the guild and its friends if they wish to come. Thar’ll be presents, ale, food and a warm hearth in front of which ye can spin yer tales and belch yer gumbo!

I hope to see ye tharr!”

[The Out of Character bit]

Full and precise details are still to come, but the event will be a low key party to celebrate Christmas. We consider ourselves a family, and what better way to celebrate than with family? I appreciate it is not exactly Christmas time yet by this point, but I considered it a more reasonable time for an event than right next to Christmas itself, when many people will be away/busy etc for good reason.

The main focus of the party will be spending time with each other, away from the troubles with the Burning Legion, Scourge, politcs, Alliance etc. However, there will also be a chance to give presents to other people, if you so desire to. I know I will be bringing a present for every one who attends…and no they are not ‘l33tzor epixxorz’ or anything, but even a bit of meaningful vendor trash is valuable to me.

There will be a small prize for the one who comes in the best Winter’s Veil themed costume (as costumes are encouraged, but not essential) and Apocraphe, my officer character, will be holding speeches honouring individual members for achievements for the year.

It is going to be held at Satheril’s Haven in Eversong Woods at 20:30 Server Time. I would recommend people who wish to attend to do the quest there, so you can get access to free items of merriment.

Horatius Blackhoof, shaman of Thunder Bluff and Shadow Claw Clansman loves to fish, but he lacks one important thing to do any of said fishing. Namely a fishing rod.
Almost a year ago, Horatius and nineteen brave hordelings ventured into the Ruins of Ahn Qiraj, slaughtering all of the cursed Qiraji that crossed their path.
None would stand in their way, and if they did, the insect-monsters would face certain destruction.
Victorious over even the most dreaded beasts that hide inside the Ruins, the brave warriors of the horde ventured deeper and deeper into Ahn Qiraj…
In the deepest coven of the qiraji, the warriors found a small lake, which apparently was thriving with fish!
Horatius would take out his fishing rod, and fish up the delicious treats.
Already savoring the thought of eating the fish, he hardly payed any attention to his surroundings (Which were swarming with gigantic bugs bent on killing the small hordish attack group).
The Battle-cries sounded, and the fight begun!
Lightning cracked the sky, as the Shamans let the spirits strike down the monsters, arrows split the air and steel met claws as the battle roared onward.
The Qiraji were attacking the horde from all sides and they approached in massive numbers.. Would the warriors finally meet their match?
A Forsaken Warrior, the Commander of the Horde attack group decided they were outmatched, and sounded the retreat..
“Leave the City!”, he roared, “Live to fight another day, Retreat!”
The Horde fought their way out of the ruins, and all of them miraculously survived, albeit wounded and exhausted.
A few days later, Horatius went to his favourite fishing spot in the Barrens, one of the vertile oasis near the crossroads..
But he couldn’t find his fishing rod. It was nowhere to be found, and he always carried it with him!
Did he lose it on the way from the Crossroads to the Oasis?
Surely he didn’t..
And then Horatius realised.. He left it in the ruins. The Battle had distracted him and he simply forgot to take it with him!
Now, almost a year later, Horatius still hasn’t recovered his beloved fishing rod…

As announced by Smite:

Week Beginning Monday, December 3 Attunements to the Core

Every evening (most at least) starting at approximately 20:00 server time, I will be available to run people through ‘Attunement to the Core’ if they need it. This is a quest to get attuned for Molten Core, that involves an (almost) full run through Blackrock Depths. It can be taken at level 55. This is, however, not a hard attunement so I would think some could get it done by themselves before this date. Either way, I am happy to help.

Saturday December 8 Assaulting The Core

When?: Saturday December 8th. Invites start at 20:00 server time. The adventure begins at 20:30 server time.
It does not matter if you are late. If you still want to come and we have room, you are most welcome to. This is not a raiding guild.

What?: A fully In Character rp raid to The Molten Core (Level 60 fourty person raid instance) led by myself. We are not going for loot nor PROGRESS, merely for the epic experience and a chance to bond as a guild in a challenging (psh) environment

Rules: Raid chat is out of character, the normal channels such as ’say’ and ‘yell’ are in character. Looting will be handled by a trusted master looter so it does not distract from the experience.
