Stormwind is in an uproar. Just a few minutes ago, a man was heard crying out the following words:

"Members of the Alliance! A grave tragedy has just occured! Come closer! Gather 'round, for what I'm about to tell you concerns ALL OF YOU!"

The herald paused as he waited for the crowd to gather. They were plentiful, as was to be expected on a busy morning like this.

"Yesterday, on Remembrance Day, a ceremonial walk to the Statue of the Unnamed Soldier was held as a tribute to our fallen."

"A peaceful march to give thanks to those that we have lost."

"But then ..." he added, building up suspense.

"The barbaric Horde ambushed us!"

The crowd was furious! Yells were heard from every corner of the city. "First they kill an innocent family and now THIS?" a woman shouted. "They have no honour! They have no heart!" they chanted.

"How dare they assault a peaceful ceremony where we remember our fallen that were slain by THEIR OWN HANDS?"

Angered aye's were heard all over the place.

"If it weren't for Knight-Lieutenant Elena Morrissey's quick reactions and display of leadership in battle, they would have succeeded as well."

"Friends, we must not and we cannot stand for this! It is time for action!"

"It is time to bring back our old ideals!"

"Today, we strike back at these monsters!"

"The Alliance will attack the Horde's outpost in the Swamps of Sorrows. We will march east at sunset!"

"Take back the lands that are rightfully ours!"

- "Aye! These lands belong to US, not this scum," a guard shouted.

"Support Marshal Jonathan Wellesley, the only man that can take the Alliance back on track!"

- "Wellesley! Wellesley! Wellesley!"

"ESARUS THAR NO'DARADOR!" the man yelled fiercely before leaving the scene.

---------------------------------

OOC:

World PvP Event with an RP background story.
Saturday 9 January 2010, 20.00
Stonard, Swamps of Sorrows

We would like to see as much attendees as we can get. It would be nice to see as much people roleplaying as possible, but we realise that this isn't really possible on SSL - so, RP is not a requirement.

If your character has a problem with attending this event roleplay-wise, we request you to please show up for the PvP aspect only so we can make this event as pleasant as possible.

The IC outcome and consequence is decided by whether or not the Alliance actually manages to "occupy" the town - meaning killing all the npc's and horde and holding the town for let's say 5 minutes. I have stories forseen for both possibilities. Of course none of them will state that Stonard is now actually Alliance territory.

General Rules:

No corpse-camping.

There will be OOC cross-faction communication to inform eachother when we should let the other faction regroup.

Deaths do not happen in character, we clearly don't want to end people's stories over this. You may be injured a little if you wish.

By Katalmach of the Warsong Blades:

Katalmach wrote:
Outrage.

Katalmach read over the report, written in the hand and experience of one of his trusted Warsong Pathfinders, and couldn't help but snarl. Realizing that he was, he had to wonder why it affected him so.

It is not that they attack... The report spoke of an Alliance strike force, making its way through the Swamp of Sorrows to attack the orcish bastion of Stonard. Or so it was assumed. There was nothing else in the damp armpit of lower Azeroth to interest them. If they sought Netherguarde and the Dark Portal, there were other ways to get there, which did not include forcing armoured soldiers to trudge through filth and vermin infested shallows and risk the jaws of a crocolisk at every step.

"We are at war. Attacks are to be expected. They are necessary, and unavoidable..." Katalmach barked a command to his aide, the gruntling called Karsh, who moved to fetch his general a map from the collection of documents that was kept in his war room.

Then what is it that angers me so?

The map Karsh handed him had been drawn up some months ago, when the existing ones had been decided to be unreliable and inaccurate. Every feature of the terrain, every possible advantage and disadvantage to be had in the inevitable war against the Alliance was to be quantified and made ready for use. This particular map had not been expected to be of much important in the battles ahead, but war was not always predictable.

No, it is not that they attack... it is the hubris of it! A low growl escaped his throat as he studied the map before him.

Hubris... he rolled the word in his mind, as though it sat waiting eagerly on his tongue to be spat forth in condemnation... that they would dare think they could succeed!

They would attack Stonard. Stonard, that had remained intact since the misbegotten years of the First Great War. Stonard, that had been a place of shelter to the Warsong Clan when they first crossed into this world at the behest of the traitor, Ner'zhul. Stonard, the only fortification and haven of stability in what was otherwise an inhospitable pit of venom and fever.

That they think they can march an army through a swamp and remain in fighting condition, only to lay low a fortified Horde encampment that has stood for years.... and for what? To anger us? They have done so already. That they might claim land that is of no use to them? Those pinkskins are so soft that the very mosquitoes of the place could probably fracture their bones.

He felt his passion fade, as he realized the answer. That orc and human simply cannot coexist, he knew already. But that the humans would be willing to throw their own lives away on an impossible assault... not for their own gain, but just to deny the Horde a place of safe haven in an oppressive marshland... this was something he had to confess that he had not expected.

Strange are the turns that the dance of war entails.
He scoffed at himself. He was being usually pensive today, when much more important things than his own musings lay at stake.

He sent Karsh to bring word to his borrowed Sunreaver battlemages that portals would be required.

There was war to conduct. As always, he would do his part.

((Sounds good. I will swing by with any Blades who feel like coming along.))

After numerous potions, healing spells and bandages, Vypra was beginning to feel more positive again.

To say they'd taking a beating at Stonard was ...well, putting it mildly. The bodies of grunts littered the ground inside the camp and not a one of those still standing had escaped without a scratch.

Still, Jahraka had managed to get his band a decent stack of coin each. Sadly, a large amount was going to have to be spent repairing their battered armor.

A couple of days, the armorer said. Time enough for the bruised shoulder of her shield arm to heal anyway...


(( Another crazy but fun rp-pvp event. Despite -somebody- insisting we had more bodies (at least at one point Razz ), it certainly didn't look that way to me. I just remember a sea of red names pouring through the gate and we'd effectively lost the fight Razz

Anyway, lessons will be learned (i hope Wink ) and now we're getting more publicity, we may even get a matched battle next time Very Happy

Thanks once again to those who put in the time to organise cheers ))
