The Viridian Shield's Crusade: Shadowfang Keep

[Sherazhina]

*Shera clears her throat*

My friends... a travesty has befallen the Eastern Kingdoms. This travesty is The Forsaken.

In Darkshire, the Worgan run amok, but we fight them, preventing the spread of their curse and their hate. That have taken no real territory and lack the numbers to take it is due to brave souls fighting alongside other brave souls to stem the tide of their evil.

To the far north, in what was once the Kingdom of Lorderon, the Worgan run amok as well... only there, they are greeted with indifference. So content are The Forsaken to assault our borders that they have allowed this threat to flourish, to destroy towns, and to take a powerful fortress as their own. This place... this Shadowfang Keep... *looks down and shakes her head* ...it blights the lands surrounding and crushes the dreams of the refugees that hope to one day return to their homes.

*looks up, eyes narrowed*

This must stop.

I propose an expedition to this foul den of hate. I propose that we find out what has allowed the Worgan to flourish there and destroy it. But most importantly, I propose this: that we DO NOT allow the indifference of The Forsaken to be our guide, and instead do our duty to this land we so love by crushing this threat once and for all.

I seek your aid in this crusade, my friends. Will you join me?

((Shadowfang Keep is a 22-30 instance that we would like to tackle in about two weeks!! The more people that go, the more fun we'll have with the RPing, so please come along! If you want to go but still have a few levels to go, just ask and I'm sure that someone will be willing to help you out to get you caught up to go! Thanks everyone! *hugs*))

I have battled the Worgan in Darkshire and uncovered their other worldly origins, they aren't natural to our world and upset nature's balance!

Surely as the Forsaken are cursed and in need of a cure, the Worgan are in need as well, we must stop this plague from spreading.

My staff and natural magics will aid in this crusade!

Slowly, wearily, the old druid rises. For all the years of an elf's life, they bear them lightly, and Ularitharion, much of his life spent in the Emerald Dream, is usually as sprightly as a youth. But today he feels the burden of age pressing down upon him, driving his shoulders down towards the earth. He leans heavily upon his staff.

"I will stand with you," he says, "for as long as you need me."

Karranii stands up in perfect military posture and salutes crisply, "you have my shield and sword, friends."

[Azaile]

*Azaile wearily strides in. He looks down at the floor and clears his throat.*

"My friends, I bring a heavy burden of news before you, as I have already reported to Ular, and to Casteldra as well. Sherazhina has dissappeared. "

"I have recieved a missive from her, delivered from the hands of a... disturbing individual. Her message, in brief states that she has ventured to Shadowfang alone."

"My friends, many of you know that I have ventured there early in my tenure with the guild. I know well what walks the halls and lurks in the dark corners of that accursed place."

"I refuse to stand by and let harm come to one of us, without attempting to face that same harm myself. Sherazhina has been my friend for a long time, even before I entered the guild, and a true friend she has been."

*Azaile stands straighter, his face grim*

"I call for Crusade, let us drive the darkness from Shadowfang and render assistance to our guildmate. Nay, I call for Purge against the inhabitants of that bloodstained place. The Worgen and the undead have no place in our world, the lost and the d**ned have no place in the light."

*Azaile slams his mail clad fist against his shield with a loud bang*

"All soldiers of the light must respond to my call, the sanction of Purge is that important."

((This is a perfect opportunity for a fairly heavy RP experience spanning a few days. As much as we would like to run this with Shera she is having numerous comp issues and won't be here for a while.))

[Admin]

((Azaile, please ask Sherazhina to check her emails. I sent her one on this subject a day or two before this got arranged. I'll organise things if she replies and gives me the go ahead.))

[Azaile]

((Ular, Sherazhina gave me the go ahead to tell you to arrange things, she can't even access email at the moment, except when she comes to my place, so communication between everyone is going to be sporadic. But go ahead and get things set up on your end.))

<<Coming into this discussion late, did this even happen?
Was there a raid on Shadowfang Keep?
If not, will there be? Fevrier would love to strike back into her homeland and reclaim some that has been lost.>>

<< Catching up on other post threads, I see this event did happen when I was away. Too bad, it would have been fun. Well, I'll keep an eye out for any future events. >>

((We wiped out Shadowfang Keep as part of the Rescue of Sherazhina storyline. We'll be sure to do another one of our Guild Crusades soon though! Maybe Razorfen Kraul?))
