A summary of the first guild RPG...
Sherazhina of the Draenei vanished during a scouting mission on Shadowfang Keep. Her comrade-in-arms, Azaile, received a letter from a pale elf in black which purported to be from her, saying she had gone on ahead to attack the Keep and could not wait for allies. Azaile shared this letter with his comrades in the Viridian Shield, who decided the letter was a fake. Ularitharion led a raid upon Shadowfang Keep to search for Sherazhina. At the Keep, the heroes destroyed the insane archmage Arugal and his Worgen servants. They also discovered evidence of a Forsaken plot to trick them into believing that the Worgen had eaten Sherazhina, and that the Forsaken themselves might have kidnapped her, and then engineered the situation to rid themselves of their enemies.
Seeking a lead, Ularitharion began to track Sherazhina's last steps, while Lady Casteldra Andralis of Stormwind led a team of heroes into the lands of the Forsaken themselves, to seek information from a childhood friend, Lady Lucciana di Valderis. Lucciana, while one of the Forsaken, had not forsaken her old loyalties or morals with undeath, and still held herself loyal to the true line of kings of Lordaeron. However, with the fall of Shadowfang Keep, the Forsaken were tightening their hold over their southern holdings in preparation for a strike at Hillsbrad. As a result, Lucciana had been arrested for treason and taken to Brill. Her keep on Fenris Island was controlled by undead Gnolls, led by a Forsaken necromancer. The heroes rescued Lucciana's butler, Talwyn, who was slain by undead shortly thereafter, and destroyed the necromancer and his forces before heading north to Brill. There, Casteldra's magic, combined with the wits of the druid Leszi, were able to spirit Lucciana out from under the noses of the Forsaken to Northshire Abbey, where she sought asylum.
From information supplied by Lady di Valderis, and the results of Ularitharion's own investigations, the heroes discovered that Sherazhina had been captured by two Forsaken apothecaries and their servant, an embittered albino Kaldorei assassin. The apothecaries had quarrelled about what to do with Sherazhina, and sent word to their masters in the Undercity asking what should be done - in the time that this bought, Sherazhina managed to slip her bonds and escape shortly before the farm was destroyed by Ularitharion and his comrades, and the first of the two apothecaries was slain by Meegaan. The party tracked Sherazhina west from the Go'Shek Farm to the ruined city of Stromgarde, where she had been rescued by the forces of Prince Galen Trollbane. Sherazhina was finally reunited with her friends. However, the second alchemist had not forgotten her, and while Ularitharion lead his companions in a battle against the Syndicate leaders in the keep, Sherazhina was recaptured by the forces of Apothecary Fel. The Viridian Shield gave chase to the Thandol Span, where the albino assassin attacked, stunning Ularitharion and overpowering Lander before being defeated by Leszi and falling off the bridge to his death.
The Viridian Shield had now lost the trail, but regrouped in Darkshire, where they knew the apothecary's stronghold was. In desperation, Fel used his magics to reanimate all the undead in the graveyard on Raven's Hill, to kill or at least delay the heroes while he attempted to drain the Light from Sherazhina, and use it to restore himself to life. His plans were in vain, however, as the heroes broke through his defences, and his own unlife was extinguished by the strength of Cyraan. The heroes then battled their way to his laboratory, deep underground in a forgotten crypt, to find that they were almost too late - Sherazhina was on the verge of death. In desparation, Ularitharion drew upon his own life to heal Sherazhina, restoring her own health at the cost of his own. Sherazhina was rescued at last, but Ularitharion collapsed in a coma.
Lander took Ularitharion and Sherazhina back to Northshire Abbey to care for them there, while the Shield waited with bated breath. Sherazhina's recovery progressed well, but Ularitharion remained in his coma for a week, and no priestly magic could heal him. However, Sherazhina used the own powers of the Light that the Forsaken had tried to steal upon him, and this awoke Ularitharion from his deep slumber at last. A comment about how Sherazhina had wound up saving HIS life also led to the restoral of his long-lost sense of humour, much to the amazement of his comrades...
