After much fiddling and correcting the back-up data that would not import correctly, the forums are back up. The author of the theme has not updated it for the current version of phpBB, and some of the files that users uploaded to the forums are missing. Other than that, the forums are back to what they were when Kallokain tried to update the forums.

On the subject of what happened to the forums to begin with, Kallokain was up against worse odds than he knew. WordPress and phpBB were multiple versions out of date. The forums had data in them that were formatted in a way that would not convert correctly. It also caused problems trying to import the data. It was quite the ordeal to find all that and fix it. Also the back-up files only have incomplete copies of the files that people uploaded to the site. It’s no wonder the site crashed when he tried to update it. It would have been nothing short of miraculous if it hadn’t.

Anyway, the forums are back up. For those that want to walk down memory lane, enjoy!

What began with the rumblings in the earth has culminated in a full scale disaster. The Tribe has been on a quest for weeks now to gather the ingredients essential for completing a ritual to summon their Dark Mother, the Lady Nyx. It is their hope that they will find some answers to what ails the world and perhaps learn how they can mend it. Tomorrow night, the Tribe comes together to learn if their efforts have paid off, and if they have, will they receive their Dark Mother’s favor? Or her wrath?

It began with simple rumblings in the heart of the Barrens. It continued in the form of terrible visions and nightmares that began to plague the Oracles of the lady Nyx at every turn. Delving into various adventures, the armies of Nyx raced to discover the nature of the oncoming danger, yet nothing seemed responsible for the growing quakes that rattled the mountains. The dark mother herself seemingly knew of the oncoming peril, and her visions bore down with increasing fervor on her Oracles- yet the mystery of her warnings could not be solved. Helpless and worried, the great Oracles of Nyx have called out for a massive tribal gathering, harkening to all who wear the banner to convene together. What do the Oracles know? How will it change the tribe and it’s wards? Where is Lady Nyx and what does she know?

Throm’ka, Traveller!

On this day I bring you news of Glory and Honor! The Followers of Lady Nyx sing Songs of Victory!

LOK’TAR OGAR!

Last night, the Followers of Lady Nyx and their Horde allies took war to the castle of Stormwind itself! For many years the vile Pig-Dog Varian Wrynn has ruled from his vile throne in Stormwind City. There, from his fancied throne, he has gleefully seized the wares of our people to his greedy heart’s content. Not only did the Horde take the battle to Stormwind City, but we took war to the Pig-Dog’s castle itself! We took the castle as Wrynn himself had taken our land, but unlike the grubbish slaves of Wrynn, we gave our enemies swift and merciless death rather than enslaving their bodies and souls. The Alliance of Pig-Dogs had fought the Horde in many battles in Kalimdor that day, but the Horde endured! The Horde survived! And the Horde took the battle right to the feet of the King of Pig-Dogs!

LOK’TAR OGAR FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
LOK’TAR OGAR! WE SING SONGS OF VICTORY!

Till we meet again, Traveller, perhaps in the Halls of Stormwind itself!

“As the world trembles beneath our treads, certain judgment creeps upon the sentient races of Azeroth. Nyx, the opaque jet of the Thrall’s legion, has always stood a firm representation the adamant determination, girth and freedom of the Horde. As the war with the Alliance quells, only lingering animosity thrives ever so sickly. However, as the blood dries on our blades and our spirits seek recuperation, the immediate quandary becomes evident; WHERE IS LADY NYX? For every enemy slain and every comrade lost, we look to our inspiration and find an empty dusted throne. We call out to the void… searching… wondering… waiting. Our cries echo out unto nothingness as reverberated shadows remind us of her dark embrace. And so, by the inclination of our very own Oracles, the Search for Lady Nyx has begun…”

INTO THE MOUNTAIN (Chapter II) This Wednesday Night

The Dwarven Scrolls retrieved from the Iron Forge courier have been deciphered by a skilled translator. Dwarven tongue does not translate well to Orcish. Our best sensitives have also looked over the documentsto intuit what may have been lost during translation.

It seems the Dwarves of Iron Forge have rejoined with their bastard cousins the Dark Irons, or plot against them once again, it is difficult to say. It is without question that the dwarves look to Blackrock Mountain. Do they believe they might succeed in harnassing the power of an Elemental Lord where the Dark Irons failed? I personally cannot imagine many forces in this world capable of making the very ground heave and rumble. We all know what once slept at the mountain’s core;
might this power be the source of why the ground around all great Horde cities quake? Is this just a taste of a greater assault in the works? We cannot risk chance. We delve deep into the heart of Blackrock Mountain to be sure the Great Servant of the Old Gods remains destroyed. I half expect
legions of Iron Forge’s best to occupy the deepest, darkest places of the mountain, and we will stop them, or if we must, we will extinguish Ragnoros’s fire again ourselves.

WHEN: 8:30
WHERE: We gather at Flame Crest
RULES: No vent, In Character speak expected in Raid, Say, Party or Yell

As the third moon collided in alignment with it’s two sisters, the heavens rained rays of change down on all of Azeroth, including the many followers of the beloved Lady Nyx. A new era has dawned, and change approaches for all of the world.

Much has transpired for the Tribal followers of Nyx in this last cycle. The champions did face impotence and possible extinction at the hands of an encroaching imperial army, yet rose up in surprising force and vengeful blood lust, defeating the encroaching expansionists and ending their threat. Many champions rose to defend the banner of Lady Nyx, and pushed the human led army back into retreat. Only time shall tell what is to come of the temporary quiet.

Time also struck change in the Tribe’s commanders as well, allowing a new Oracle to ascend to power, new Nightwarders to take up the torch of Lore, and Umbral Champions to rise to the challenges of a new day. These new heroes are charged with heralding in a new era for the followers of Nyx, an era that warns to bring massive change to all of Azeroth, and the tribal followers of Lady Nyx as well.

Ominous rumblings throughout the Barrens alerted the attention of the Tribe’s leaders, sending teams of investigators into action. Due to the destruction caused in the Searing Gorge by the Dwarves once previously, suspicion was thrown to them as the cause of this newest wave of tremors, and action was taken. A band of Nyx’s followers entered the gates of Iron Forge itself on a reconnaissance effort, and many artifacts and scrolls were gathered pertaining to the disturbance. The information is currently being deciphered by translators, and the mystery deepens as the tremors continue to grow in frequency and power.

Finalizing this cycle in the Tribe’s changing history, the beloved Lady Nyx herself has crept into the shadows, leaving no trace of her whereabouts or activities. What impact this will have on the Tribe is yet to be seen… and the wheels of fate continue to turn…
