A Letter From the Editor
I sit upon a hill overlooking the site of the annual Brewfest. The army of Orgrimmar peons has gone though and swept up all that the sponsors did not take with them. The stale taste of malted beverages left to Autumnal sun lingers upon the air. I’m left to ponder the passage of this holiday to celebrate all things intoxicating.
The wine of Battle flowed freely this Brewfest. With the attacks by the Grim Guzzler patrons, many of us thirsted for revenge. I confess that I too felt a longing to do such, but was unable to make my way to their demesne. Reports from those that went told of interesting and useful items garnered in Direbrew’s Hall.
Now, historically, is a time to begin taking stock before the Winter sets in. To that end, I will be doing write ups of our officers so that those that get little time with them. Also, as the passage to Northrend comes clear, we will need to know where we’re going.
Better Know a Nyxer Part One
Lady Tomoyo, Oracle to Nyx and Oathsworn to Lady Sylvanus has far more titles than she will ever own up to. Being somewhat modest for one of the Forsaken, she has been the sole Oracle for many months. Only recently has Lady Nyx felt the need to add to the number of Oracles, something for which Lady Tomoyo is glad of.
I asked her what she would be doing with all the time that has been freed up for her. “I must confess that I rather enjoy collecting the souls of various critters and monsters from all over Azeroth, in Soul Shards that I keep in my pocket, and which I use to summon demons and the like with which to battle in underground tournaments with others who share my interests.” I pressed her about this being what warlocks do.
“….What do you mean, “isn’t that a Warlock’s job description”? They’re two entirely different things.” I took this answer as the best I would be able to understand, not being much of the way of an arcanist.
Under Lady Tomoyo’s leadership, our guild has been instrumental in mounting successive strikes against Karazhan. Gruul the Dragonslayer and Magtheridon have been slain by our blades. She was also instrumental in gathering the Twilight Umbrage under Lady Nyx’s banner.
As Northrend opens to us, Lady Tomoyo looks forward to fighting the Scourge on their territory with the rest of the guild at her side. Nyx will bemoving on … ”To bigger and better things. The followers of Nyx have become one of the most influential organizations under the banner of the Horde in this reality plane. We may have been disorganized for a long time after the opening of the Dark Portal, but the focus and unity we have now is second to none.”
The Steamwheedle Documents
Most of the documents that were stolen by the Scarlet Crusade have been recovered. They are being translated and catalogued under the heading of “the Steamwheedle Documents”. Three tomes have not yet been recovered, and I have operations to see find where they have gotten to.
Our foray against the Crusade and the Alliance was extremely successful. Not one member fo the Alliance was able to leave without our interdiction force taking away anything that they try to get away with. It is only Archivist Doan’s inability to decipher some of the books that made him send them out for assistance with the translation.
More details will be posted as they become apparent.
Baelspar’s Fashion and Gossip
Change is in the air, my friends. Some of us have fair worn a rut in our day to day existence. The Outlands have forced us into roles we may or may not have chose, but now we may free ourselves.
Are you tired of constantly getting hammered on by the enemy while your friends to the job of killing the beast? That last ice bolt just enough to make you want to leave the cold behind? Then do it.
If nothing else, Hallow’s Eve is just around the corner. Get ready for some fun and fashionable changes.
