More progress

The original forums have mostly been restored. The posts are all there, but some of the pictures and a few of the links don’t work. Still working on the forums that broke when Kallokain tried to upgrade them. I have them working enough that I can pull up the posts when I set them up on my local computer. Most of the image files that were uploaded to the site are still missing and the themes are all broken. If all goes well, they should be back in good enough shape I can put them up on the live site by the end of next weekend.

The web site is back

Finally, after much fiddling and learning about web sites, progress. The forums still need work though. They are where they were at when Kallokain broke them.

Aitana

I broke the forums.

I was doing some forums maintenance, updating this and that, and broke the forums. I did have very recent backups, but signatures and pics uploaded to the forums may be lost. Posts and users should remain after the backup. Sorry for the problem, it will be fixed ASAP.

The Murmur VI

There are Whispers in the Dark…

It was for many a solemn night that Nyx stood bereft of its swift herald. The secret locations that once fostered these texts proved vacant and dim. The anonymous vendors that once distributed this newsletter to Nyx affiliates shrugged many a curious customer away with no account of the Murmur’s venue. However before you now, child of fate, rests the rekindling of a criterion. May I reintroduce myself, Whisper, as your humble servant and forerunner. As the voice whose duty is to recant the glories of Nyx, hereby do I solemnly swear to speak truthfully and with pristine alacrity the glories of our legion. The word has already spread amongst the streets of our cities that “Whisper’s agents are once again among us!”, for the unknown presence in the room; the cool precursor to the standing hairs on your neck; the voices you hear in a dark corridor… These things can only mean that the Murmur has returned! -Whisper

The Fifth Anniversary of Nyx!

A Testament to Fortitude

A Testament to Fortitude

It was but five years ago that the heroes and vagabonds of Nyx accumulated together, beckoned by the voice of our Umbral Mistress, to create one of the strongest fortified unions known to the armies of the Horde. It is today, the eighteenth of the month of love, that our centurions amass together to relish in the victories of Nyx, and to praise its integrity as one of the oldest foundations surviving under the banner of the Horde. The streets of Dalaran ran rampant with boisterous Nyxians, as they set off explosives and cavorted about in a drunken stupor. If you invoke the enchanted photograph in this section, you will find more information on the soiree and you may vote on who was the most vibrant of the celebration!

The End of an Oracle’s Obligation… Aitana’s Resolution.

Our Timeless Guardian

Our Timeless Guardian

Tis’ a forlorn task to prove the integrity of rumors, however, tis’ a task that must be seen through. If some may or may not have heard, Elder Aitana has found a new calling; a calling that will permit her to relinquish her standing as Oracle of Nyx. What does this mean for the Lady’s legion? Is this truly the will of Lady Nyx? Has this shining idol met her journey’s end… or, was this all preparation for the Elder’s true calling? To see how these truths were found and formulated, invoke the enchanted photograph in this section, to be granted access to the sealed page with the story.

A Parting Word to My Comrades…

Azeroth has long changed since the evils of the Frozen Prince were quelled, presenting to us now even more harrowing enemies to engage. It is my obligation and honor to continue these scripts so that our triumphs live on in memory. Till we meet again… sleep quietly and dream of glory, O’ children of the abyss.

Lady Nyx Calls Us to the Stars!

Throm’ka, traveller! I see we meet again in these old halls. Aka’magosh!

On this night, we hear of news from the heavens. On this night, it seems that a group of those who follow Our Lady of Shadows has seen mysteries revealed! They have delved into the lands of the north, and they have returned victorious!

It seems that Algaron the Observer once again came to Azeroth. Algaron, the Observer of the Titans, sought to determine Azeroth’s worth. He sought to find those worthy of fighting for the land. On this night, NYX FOUGHT ALGARON FOR THE HONOR OF ALL!

And once again, NYX IS VICTORIOUS!

THE STARS CALL FOR US!

Farewell, traveller. The next time we meet, may it be among the stars.

Wintergrasp Fortress is PROPERTY OF THE HORDE!


(click to enlarge)

Throm’ka, traveller! Welcome again to the Halls of Nyx!

The spirit of War continues to stretch its fingers over the world, but the Horde still endures.

Among the many battles is the fight we fight against the Alliance in Wintergrasp. Despite the efforts of the Dogs of Stormwind, Wintergrasp Fortress continues to remain firmly in the grip of the Horde. Due to the ease of all our victories, we decided to remind our enemies within the Alliance that Wintergrasp Fortress still exists.. Thus, one of our glorious scribes fashioned up this wondrous postcard, which was delivered to the Alliance in Stormwind by a speedy messenger of the Steamwheedle Cartel.

We shall meet again, traveller… perhaps in Wintergrasp Fortress itself.

LOK’TAR OGAR!

((Thanks to Elena for making the postcard after yet another of the many Horde WG victories!))

The Murmur, V

To the Reader…
Good Evening fellow Nyxians! I must proclaim, tis’ a wonder to be amongst the halls of Nyx in these times. This very script may be the most important in Nyxian history, as it is fervent with glorious acquisition. The world of Azeroth has been purged of a notorious villain, and under Nyx’s banner has it been seen forthcoming. But this, my concomitants, is but an inch of what has graced our very eyes. Peruse these words with hubris, as we bask in the nocturnal elegance that is… Nyx.
Your devoted scribe and servant …

The Fall of the Lich King!!!

The corridors of Icecrown echo with the lamentations of the once lost specters of the fallen. The affixed souls of all the world’s mortal races savor a soothing calm as the bastard king, Arthas Menethil, is laid to eternal rest. The Lich King and his ilk were dispatched by the elite cell of raiders defeated the Lich King shouting “Nyx!” from the peak of Icecrown Citadel. Remember these times Nyxians, for history is written but once, and when our descendents look back upon these pages may their bosoms swell with a pride mightier than the strongest of Thrall’s thunderbolts! We, who align ourselves to the Shaded Lady’s bidding, shall stay the prominent hand of the Horde. But take heed all, enemies and comrades alike, this is but an inch of our legion’s might! Our feats shall be roared across mountain tops, yet our existence whispered within rumor. Our influence shall invoke a fire in the hearts of all the Horde, yet strike terror in those of our adversaries. Our strength shall stand prominent as we uphold the foundations of destiny. This world is ours to own. It is out birth right. We are hands of Lady Nyx. We are the Horde…

…And the Return of Nocturnal Queen!

Lady Nyx

Lady Nyx

LADY NYX HAS RETURNED! My words do not suffice for the truth behind the event. As we all gathered to discuss the state of our guild, there she appeared before our unknowing eyes. The Mistress’ presence brought hope for the faithful and terror to the faithless. Our hearts stilled in her presence as she addressed her champions one by one. I tell you children of the night, words are but meager in comparison to the euphoria of it all…

Gathering of the followers of Lady Nyx

Gathering of the followers of Lady Nyx

With the return of Lady Nyx, our ambitions were reignited as we once again saw with our own eyes the meaning behind our resolve. However, the Shaded Mistress brought with her prophecies of a bleak future. The future where the skies are riddled with black as smoke blots out the sun… A future where earth torn asunder and hell walks upon its face… A future where the survival of all shall be put into question… And most ominous of all, an enemy of Lady Nyx and all things living for that matter, shall bring to Azeroth nothing but terror and anguish. But what are we to do? How will we survive? Time shall tell… For now, all we can do is wait.

In Parting…

I leave you all with much to consider. Such as in life, when one circle ends, another begins. With rise of a beautiful moon come the shadows that develop in its presence. Your devoted scribe leaves you all to ponder, as so shall he. Think of your allegiance. Ask yourself what makes this legion so prominent. But if one were to ask me the question, “Where will Nyx stand in this existence?” Then I would bequeath to thee, “Why, at the summit of course…”

Your servant,
Whisper

The Murmur, IV

To the Reader…

Hark, Children of the Night, and lay awake as your humble servant hums our Legion’s song. Unto us has the Lady of Shadows bestowed tidings of promise as revelations are enacted before our eyes. Rest your battered armaments. Let the tribulations of existence roll off of your shoulders. Take a moment to absorb the current events. This is the testament of our victory. This… is the Murmur.
~ Whisper

Insidious

The halls of our citadel clamored with might, as Nyxians fervently awaited the arrival of their new brethren. Hopes reignited as a sign of our Lady’s hand arose. Whilst traversing the planes of existence, the Lady of Shadows made a pact with an elite cell of champions who carried upon their vestments the word “Insidious”. The mighty few traveled from their native plane of existence to meet the entity that was Nyx, in hopes of discovering the truths of existence while in return, serving Lady Nyx with their unmatched prowess. They brought with them not only promise, but truth that somewhere amongst the infinity, Lady Nyx was active. The assembly was legendary, as two mighty forces banded together under a single banner …

‘Twas a bitter cold morning on the Borean Tundra, as Ianodil scurried passed the unending bastion of arachnid Scourge and the tired and weathered guardians of Warsong Hold. A quick salute from the grizzly watch followed the exalted mage, as he hurriedly jaunted up the flight of steps to the War Room.

Ianodil looked across the crowd, seeing an apathetic Hellscream sitting upon his throne. In the center piece of the room stood a frozen divide. High Overlord Saurfang quietly chatted with the Nyxian representatives regarding the following situation. Ianodil waited as to take in the moment mentally capturing the scene before him; to his left, the curious Nyxians whispering amongst themselves of the rumors surrounding the glorified heroes in front of them, and to his right, the elite cell of Insidious soldiers waiting patiently to proceed.

The Oracles of Lady Nyx welcome their new brethren

The Oracles of Lady Nyx welcome their new brethren

Ianodil took a breath, and walked into the crowd. A quick nod to his authorities was all that was needed to begin. The full transcript of the proceedings are posted in our guild hall.

In parting…
The era of Nyx is on the brink of the revelation a new era within these halls. With new bright champions joining their wards as they charge into victory and powerful allies taking arms amongst our fold, the dawning of a new age of Nyx is imminent and welcomed. Our Dark Lady has shown her influence to us once more, now all that is needed is to bask in her prominence once more. Stay close, and listen thoroughly, for the murmurs carry with them the evidence of hope.

Your Servant
