Nyx Gazette

Issue XIX

Welcome, readers, to the nineteenth edition of the Nyx Gazette! This week’s issue is a packed issue, with many events and occurrences from the past two weeks, including a very important special report! . And remember, dear readers, the Gazette still seeks submissions from all of you, as well as more subjects for the Spotlight article!

Special Report: War Comes To An End

Picture Credit: Oneille

The Gazette this week begins with a very special report indeed. For those have not heard, our long and exhausting war with the Alliance force known as Kingship of the East has finally come to an end. By decree handed down by our own Lady Nyx, our conflict has come to an end at long last, much to the rejoicing of others.

In the spirit of this rejoicing and happiness among the Tribe in the wake of this announcement, a large victory parade and celebration were held, marching from Fairbreeze Village in Eversong to the heart of Silvermoon City. Quite a time was had, but the biggest surprise of the event was when our Lady Nyx appeared before us herself to encourage and congratulate us, and to tell us to look forward to the future as we move on from this taxing battle we have been unwittingly caught up in.

Additionally, commendations were provided to two of our own by our Lady herself, in honor of their services during these trying times. Congratulations to both Warzen and Filarius for receiving this highest honor, and we all hope you will continue to aid us when we need it most.

Field Report: All Quiet… For Now.

The first segment of this week’s Gazette is The Field Report. Stories from our battles against the Alliance and chronicles of our war efforts are contained within. All readers are encouraged to send in their accounts and images, as they may very well find a place among The Field Report!

As the headline reads, much has been quiet on the world of Azeroth since the war was brought to an end, at least in the form of concentrated hostilities. The usual skirmishes against the Alliance occur as usual, and more than a few time sin the past two weeks Nyx has been called to defend the Horde home cities, and have done so with zeal and fervor that would make Thrall proud.

Of particular note are Nyx’s continued excursions into the battlegrounds against the Alliance, occurring with increasing frequency and ferocity. Our Nightwarder of War, Leothiel Frosthawk, is regularly seeking warm, able, and willing bodies for these battles, so if you have even a passing desire to participate, please check the schedule board and sign up to attend.

The Home Front: A Time To Remember

Much has happened in the weeks since the last issue of the Nyx Gazette. First and foremost, we should all congratulate Partedhair and Wiindriider if you have not all ready. Though it was a week past, recently the two were happily wed, in what I am told was a wonderful ceremony held within the Moonglade on Kalimdor. Many were in attendance, and a wonderful time was had by all, in particular the bride and groom. We wish them the best in their continued happiness. Congratulations, you two!

In other news, this week marks the holiday known in Azeroth as Pilgrim’s Bounty. Pilgrim’s Bounty is a time when we all should sit back and look at the world around us; take in all the good fortune around us and share it will everyone around us. Be sure to visit the capitol cities of the Horde (as well as the Alliance, should you wish to) and partake of the festivities. I’m sure there will be plenty of food and joy for all to share and enjoy. A celebration in honor of this he held this Saturday outside of Orgrimmar, for all to attend and enjoy, and reminisce.

Announcement

An important meeting of the tribe is being held this coming Sunday at 9PM. The details of this meeting are unknown as of this time; however it is recommended that all who can attend, do. The location is presently undetermined, but keep your ears to the ground and as soon as one is determined, it will be relayed outwards.

Spotlight!

Welcome to Spotlight, a section that presents a small article on one of our esteemed members of Nyx, so that you may get to know your tribesman all the better!

We are still looking for volunteers for the Gazette’s Spotlight feature. If you are interested in having a short biography printed and possibly an interview conducted, please inform me as soon as possible so that matters may be properly arranged.

Additionally, we are searching for short accounts and submissions from our readers, of the week’s occurrences as well short stories and gnomish image captures of the notable events of the past week. These are very much needed to help spice up the gazette and give it more of a community driven feel. Please see below for more information.
