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…

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…

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

A Find in the Ancient Ruins of Zoram Strand

 Maledicta Ebonharte writes Eyesore the Wizened about a recent finding she has made in some ancient Elven ruins.

Her findings  have startled all the scholars of Nyx… for according to the following Lady Nyx who was borne over 10,000 years ago, is named after a being of such power that is even much much older.

 Dear Eyesore,

At your request, I have taken it upon myself to help in the investigation, and upon hearing about some recently excavated documents from the depths of Zoram Strand, I decided to offer my services as a translator of the Highborne texts in order to further our search into Our Lady Nyx’s background. After hours of translation and reading some very dull correspondence, I think I have found something interesting. Here is a snippet from a letter I think must have been sent by Our Lady’s Mother to her own Mother shortly after the birth of our dear Lady Nyx. It is mostly mundane, and I almost missed it as I skimmed through the letter.

My Dear Mother,

I hope this letter finds you and my father well. I so enjoyed spending time with you and Father in Zoram, that it was with great reluctance I returned to Eldarath and my husband. Not that I was unhappy to be reunited with him, but I had missed you both so since the wedding and my taking up residence in his mansion. It was good to be home, if only for a brief visit.

All in all our union is a good one. He is a very considerate husband, although a little austere at times. My every need is taken care of and even my smallest whim is not too much trouble. I could not wish for anything more, except perhaps a little more time to spend with him. For he is very busy and seldom leaves his library, except to eat and to sleep. I’m so glad you allowed me to bring Althaya with me or I would go mad with solitude sometimes. But, I should not complain. My husband is a great scholar and his studies on the Black Dragonflight are second to none.

Still, if not for his preoccupation with Neltharion and his scions I would not have been able to come home to give birth to our daughter. Although, in keeping with his fascination he has decided to honour Neltharion by naming our daughter after the father of the Black Dragonflight’s own daughter, Onyxia. I feel a sense of foreboding about this, as though we may be cursing our daughter with bad luck at the very start of her life but he is unwilling to discuss the matter, so Onyxia will be her name. I have decided to call her ‘Nyx’ for short, as I am loathe to use her full name. I suppose I should be thankful that she wasn’t a boy, who would probably have to suffer under the dubious honor of being called ‘Nefarian’!



The rest of the letter goes on about domestic matters that would be of little interest to anyone except perhaps those who like to follow every boring single little detail of the lives of those who went before. I think the passage above is truly a revelation though, and if I still could, I would be very excited about such a find.

Well, I had better go, Forensia is getting a little twitchy and needs to go out and burn some things before she explodes. It seems that since her death the magic builds up inside her and has to be released regularly. Or at least that’s what she tells me. Personally I think she just likes setting fire to things, judging by the smile on her face.

Your friend,

Maledicta Ebonharte
