Into the Trials

Only days ago, an invitation reached the hands of Nyx’s esteemed Oracles. It read,

Dear followers of Lady Nyx,
I am Magister Edien Sunhollow, representative of the Sunreavers in the Argent Crusade. As of late, word has been getting out about your efforts within the dark reaches of Ulduar. The Argent Tournament would like to congratulate you on your ongoing efforts to stop the ancient evil within in the unforgiving titan realm. With that said, and knowing the strength of Nyx’s members, we would like to offer you and the finest of Nyx an invite to compete in the Argent Tournament.
If you choose to accept, your fight is scheduled to begin on this Friday, at Midnight. You will be given a half-hour to prepare.
All of us in the Argent Tournament and those of the Sunreavers hope you will accept this offer and take up the challenge laid before you.
Sincerely,
Magister Edien Sunhollow.

It did not take long for the leaders of Nyx to come to a conclusion. They gladly accepted the offer to represent the Horde in the prestigious event.
Those who took up the challenge:
Aitana-Princess of heals
Bularu-Master of tamed beast
Durall-Death from the pits of hell
Hristoforos-Master of Shadow
Op-Death unwilling to die again
Raphusm-Warrior sent By the Gods
Rekeme-Protector of the spirit totems
Soladanus-God of Light
Tasera-Huntress cursed wit da VooDoo
Uhra-Leader of the Shaman Gods

As the night went underway, much blood was shed. Yet, the followers of the Dark Lady did not give up for a single moment.

The Battle of the Beasts was first. The creatures before them fought with an unforgiving ferocity. They fought Gormok the Impaler. They also confronted not one but TWO jormungars, and lastly, a giant yeti known as Icehowl. All three fell to the combatants might.

The second fight was then laid before them. A massive eredar demon known as Lord Jaraxxus went forth to fight them. Eventually those of Nyx were able to destroy him with swift blows.

Tonight the raiders of Nyx will continue the fight and hopefully overcome any challenge that the tournament presents them with.

A message to the “Kingship”

A few days go, as the skirmishes between Kingship and Nyx escalate, Lady Nyx finally appears. Using Oracle Tomoyo as the body to present the message, she announced this for all of Azeroth to hear,

“Hear this, so-called Kingship, for this one before you is an Oracle of the Lady Nyx, and an instrument of my will on this world of Azeroth

Thy insult to our self has gone on for far too long. I rebuke you, I rebuke your followers, and I rebuke your “terms” as the pathetic yapping of a contemptuous foe that they are, and as making the scrap of paper they were written on worth less than if it had been blank. Azeroth will run red with the blood of those who stand in our way, and none, not the least your petty self proclaimed king and your hordes of unwashed, mindless slaves, shall hold back our wrath. Rise up, my champions, and let loose the dogs of war. We shall swoop down on them, and we shall show no mercy, until this stain upon our honor is reduced to a mere bloodstain on our blades!

To our Brothers and Sisters of the Horde Assembly, we invite you to join us in this glorious slaughter. Not their men nor their women nor their children shall we spared our righteous vindication. No longer shall we suffer this indignation. The so-called Kingship seeks to divide and conquer, to force all those who would dare to stand against him to capitulate. They understand not honor, nor true friendship, comradeship and loyalty. This Kingship underestimates the conviction and pride that dwells in all our hearts, but we will show them, mark our words, we shall show them. They will know us, and they will fear us, and when they lie bloodied and broken at our feet, we shall not even grace them with our spittle, for that would imply that they were worthy of our disgust. This is not revenge, this is not anger. This is pest extermination. They are but a plague of rodents, and this is a plague on our Azeroth that must not and shall not be permitted to exist any longer.

Heroes of the Horde, we must purge this plague. Blame not the misguided followers of the foul king, they have merely fallen under his thrall. But let that not stay your blade, for they have fallen beyond redemption, their minds long since poisoned by this silver-tongued false king and his delusions of a kingdom of a thousand years. The greatest mercy we can give them all is a quick death. May the light have mercy on their souls, for our Warlocks shall not.”
