Nyx

The young Tauren delighted in the wind that passed through his fur. This flight, regardless of how temporary the Carnie said it was be was beyond speech. Between his hooves, he watched the tallstriders and prairie stalkers as he flew past. The wind carried to him the smells of Bloodhoof Village, and he could see it coming up on the horizon. In the midst of the river before it, there was the "landing zone" which he was told to angle toward. When he thought he was at the right point, he let loose from his fading wings. As the ground rose to meet him, he noted the other Tauren that had not made it. All too soon, he joined their number, the earth stealing his life from him in an instant.

This scene did not go unobserved. Brave Stormcloud went to Thunder Bluff to describe the loss of the young to Chieftan, Cairne Bloodhoof. On his way, he passed the garish purple tents and stalls of the Darkmoon Faire. Smells of overly sweet snacks and cheap swill that would be called 'drinks' overtook his senses. This hastened him to inform his chieftan.

Upon hearing the news, Cairne let out a yell, "How can this be allowed!!!"

The bluffwatchers, once the likeliest culprits had been fingered, took off after the gnome with the Tauren shooting canon. Yet, as the morning mist in the afternoon sun, the gnome had vanished; canon, faire, and all. Aitana, our emissary to the Tauren was present, and bore witness to the anger and fury of Cairne.

In her wisdom, she has elected that our guild, Nyx, should go forth on behalf of the Bloodhoof Clan and all that they lead in order to register a complaint with the Darkmoon Faire Entertainment Group. Further reports indicate that the humans are given a large lake to land in, and often survive to be devoured by murlocs. At least they had a fighting chance. That is all that we crave. A fighting chance.

((Wednesday, March 12th, at 7:00 PM server time, Aitana and any who wish, will go to Goldshire. For that is where the Faire shall be. I'll update time when I have it from Linkan. It will probably be a PvP fest, so be ready for a fight. It would be nice to burn Goldshire to the ground. Some of the Alliance might even thank us.))

((For those of you who saw the earlier iteration of this event, things have changed to make them more in line with the lore that we started coming up with. I'm not changing the title, I like it. It is stolen from "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Goes" which first exposed to me in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I wish the ending didn't suck.

The Day has changed. So it will be on Thursday, at 8PM. Just so you know.))

<<Are you writing up something for the completion of the event? I was thinking about using part of it for a recruitment thread on teh ED forums>>

We did make it to the Darkmoon Faire to register our complaint. I did manage to talk to Silas Darkmoon, but he was not very responsive to our complaints. Our protests did disrupt their operations in Alliance territory for the time we were there, so hopefully the impact on their bottom line made more of an impression on them about our feelings on the matter than our words did.
