Blood and Thunder Chapter 1: The First World War (Open RP)

[Theotaz]

Theo waved Asarelah to a seat. "Dis questions I will answer... but first... food". Theo gave a lazy grin. :Now did he remeba to be ask'n yous for de sea salt and de hot pepper?" Lah reached into her bag and handed 2 leather jack bags. Theo mesured out a bit of the salt and a good portion of pepper and tossed them in with the breading mix. With quick practiced motions several fillets were breaded and set on the grill. Theo busied himself pouring the wine and serving up some Tanaris chowder served in hard sourdoagh rolls as bowls. He quickly fetched the fillets off the grill and slid them into a chafing dish set on the cool side of the grill. He jacked the grill a bit further off the coals glowing beneath.nn Theo stood for a moment with a stretch, then moved his stool near to the camp table opposite Asarelah. Once he was seated he lifted his goblet. "To friends near and far, in this life or de next. They will be remembered." He touched goblets with Lah for a moment and drank deeply. Setting his cup down he wagged a finger to Lah. "Dig in gal! 'for dis stuff get cold and it not taste quite so fine!." he exclaimed with a grin.nn Within momets the chowder and a good part of its bread bowl was gone. A loud purring rasp and cough made it clear that Romilar was more then willing to clean up the remains. Theo grinned again and fetched the remains off to one side where the big cat could get to them. He lifted the cover on the chafing tray and enhaled appreciativlyly. Replacing the cover he dug into the coals and pulled out two leaf wrapped bundles. He had the leaves cut open and the contents laid ou on two serving plates. The fish was laid out beside what was apparently sweet yams. A small pot also down in the coals revealed beans in a sweet sauce. a quick spoon of them to each plate, with some of the salad wich Theo garnished with some slices of fruit and cheese. The last bit on the plates was a sprig of mint and some small lifebloom flowers. He set Lah's plate down in front of her with great formality. and set his own to his place. seating he looked at the plate of food then up into Lah's eyes. "Been a while since I been able to eat food like dis, I tink I kinda ovea did it a bit. Hope ya like left overs! Eat up, and just you wait to see what I have for desert!" nn Over the food Theo related all that had happened. How he had journeyed and been slain by his own people. How the Loh had held him from reserecting his body. Of him learning the will of his people from the mouths of the Loh. Of secrets that even now he could not speak of, not even to the Lady Nyx. Of the intercession of the Dragon aspect of time. Of how, for a short time he could not be a Death Knight, with a Death Knights powers. Lah could tell he was holding back a great deal. When she asked him about it he just shook his head. "All of what I cannot tell you is what will effect the future." Lah, I am Theotaz, but only a Theotaz of a future dat neva was. I am de Theotaz if Theotaz had neva become a death knight." He gave her a sly grin "Handsome devil aint I?" he looked wistfully up at the night sky. "I wonder if Tasera would think so?" A look of sadness and longing crossed his face. "went and anounced I wished to court dat gal and aint been able to do a damd ting wid it since."nn "Theo? SO, I assume,... if you tell me of what may happen it will keep that future from happening?" He shook his head in the negitive. "Much more complicated. Terrible things are coming. Friends will die, fortunes with change, old wars end and new ones begin. Some things must not become known yet." He looked at her a haunted look in his eye. "We will watch friends die we could have saved." He looked about. He could see the roof of Lahs and Tasera's houses through the trees. "When the earth and the land are filled with fire go to de moon well dat crypt kicker guards. You will be safe there. This home and garden will be destroyed in what is to come. Dat be de only ting udda den make sure de lady Nyx be established outside of Orgrimaar..get de little ones out of de cites. Nozdormo with allows those that can be told to be told. those that must not be told will never know. When it is done perhapes the peoples of Azeroth and Outland will finally be able to choose thier own destinies."nn While thay had supped and talked the moon had risen in to the night sky.nQuickly clearing the plates away, Theo served up the sherbert at last. Lahs brows shot up in delight. Strawberries were a rare treat anyway, much less in a sherbert. Theo was sure she hadn't any more room for food but seconds on the sherbert were soon commanded and rendered without hesitation. nn Asarelah settled back into the camp chair with a ladylike burp. A snifter of brandy in her hands by now. Theo gazed apon her in obvous affection. "now for de question you haven't asked. When will I be back. Dat one I do not know. Even this body cast off by time I can wear for a short while. And my time here will draw to a close very soon. You will remember dis day, but no one will be able to tell anything happened here. De little one will remember, but who would listen to a ghoul eh?" A twinkle lit his eye. "But it will be real, and I will confirm it back to you when I can return. I have given you a glimse of a future to come wid dis warning. Few will take heed if you warn dem! Do not trouble yourself. De Lady Nyx already knows. Those who do not follow at her command risk to be sundered from dey spirit for all time. It will be a time of trial like dat of de sundering. You will see me den."nn As Theotaz spoke he began to become translucent. "Theo?" Asrelah said in alarm. "I am starting to fade. dis be as it should be. Even de Aspect of time can only hold the time dis body belong to and de time dat you and I belong to together for a short while. Dis body it return to de time and space it belong to, and my spirit returns to dis one. De zandalar will decide if I be permitted to rejoin my body and be once again a Death Knight. I be hope'n dat dey can release me from be'na Death Knight. I miss Romilar." his words were starting to echo, as if heard from deep in a cave. "De bronze aspect he tell me dis node be at an end and cannot me maintained any longer. Ah always wanted to have a nice sit dinna wid ya gal. I'll be back." He reached out a hand to touch hers. "no tears..De little one is tied to me. As long as he exists, so do I" nn The hand touching hers slowly faded. Soon the small tent. and the gear faded from view. A roar from a great cat split the night, yet, sounding like an echo from a distance. Gentle moonlight shone on the ground. Only the ghoul and herself remained. The ground showed no sight of anthing other then the two of them. The ghoul came over to where Lah sat on the stump of a tree. "Maassster gone. gone gone. Back someday." the ghoul peered about the clearing next to the creek. "Laaaadyyy go baaack house now. you saaafe. saaaafe." ... Lah sat unmoving. "not sad...haaaappyy. Maaasteerr alive." nn "Asarelah." Lah looked up. before her glowed a vision of surpassing elven beuty. "I must guide the little one back to the moon well my priestess and You must go home and sleep. Theotaz will return eventually but it will be some time before this happens." Elune (for it could be no other) reached out to touch her cheek. "You might take word to his household, you will find true friends there." The goddess turned to the ghoul. "Come little one. Let us get you home." Crypt Kicker walked over to the goddess holding a shrivled clawed limb up. The goddess took the hand of the ghoul with a smile and led the ghoul up the bank. The goddess and the ghoul were surrounded by a soft nimbus of light. The ghoul turned back and waved for a moment. In that instant the ghoul appeared as a child, an elven girl child. Her eyes were a deep green, her hair silver, and her skin fair to the extreme. A passing cloud slid across the moon for a moment cloaking her vision in darkness. When the cloud passed there was no one and nothing in sight.

[Leothiel]

The weekend had been very happy for the followers of the Lady Nyx. In the span of two nights; the tribe welcomed three Foulheart, Damian, and Velocitus, saw the wedding between Leothiel Frosthawk and Oneille Brightgrove; and rounded off with the celebration of the promotion of the druidess Wiindriider to an Umbral Champion of Growth and Nourishment. After the Sunday night festivities, it was time for Leothiel and Oneille to enjoy three nights with each other in a remote place where the only things on their minds would be each other.nnThey arrived in Gadgetzan, which buzzed with an Alliance presence. Most of them were in their respective 40s seasons. Leothiel noticed someone was tailing them so he took a long detour to a secluded spot that he knew. Within a few minutes of their arrival, someone from Kingship of the East showed up accompanied by someone from some order known as No Clothes Required. After they assaulted and incapacitated the couple, there were more streaming in. Even the Spirit Healer had members of Kingship of the East and No Mercy Mafia. Leothiel decided to risk it and have the Healer restore him. He fell under their spells and hammers before his Hearthstone cast was able to be complete.nnnnHe called out to the guild from the spirit world. Oneille managed to make her way to Freewind Post, which is where the combined Kingship and No Mercy Mafia forces were now heading. Eventually, Oneille made her way into Orgrimmar to summon. Only Xaania the draenei huntress was watching over Leothiel's body. He resurrected, Ice Blocked while Velocitus kept her locked down, then was summoned into the heart of Orgrimmar.nn(( Sitchenn made reference to this incident in this thread: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/threa ... 4932&sid=1 ))

[Theotaz]

Theotaz ghosted through Orgrimaar in the wee hours of the morning. The gate guards passed him without a word. A troll Death Knight was an almost common sight any more. He checked his mail by the bank. nothing. Not that he had been expecting anything. A quick stop and several item were deposited in the vault. He would need to speak with the Shaman of Thunder Bluff. There was crucial information they needed to have. he was shortly airborn to the Tauren Capital.nnIt was still an hour to sunrise by the time he arrived. He found himself some hot food, and something to drink before finding a spot along spirit rise to watch the dawn. He was swilling down some decent mead when two utterly huge arms went around him pinning own arms to his side. His feet were off the ground and a happy bellow assulted his somewhat sensitive ears from inches away. nn"THEOTAZ!" <stomp stomp stomp> "Friend back! Friend safe! ME Miss Theo-- taz!" Theo recovered from this stunning assult on the senses sufficiently to sqeek out of air starved lungs. "I gets beheaded, held in a state of death, brave foe infested water and I'm gonna die of suffocation at the hooves of a happy Taren... Partedhair... PUT ME DOWN!!" Partedhair made a great many distressed mutterings and asking of pardon as he set Theotaz down with a great deal more gentleness then he'd plucked him off the ground. Theo gasped for breath while doubled over for a moment.nnHe stood up when he'd recovered his breath to see a distraught Parted hair holding his breakfast (now covered in dirt, ants, and plant matter> his mead horn <now very empty>. Theo reached out and gently took the items, tucked the horn into his belt, and tossed the remains of his meal over the side of the bluff. He raised one finger to Partedhair. "Ok, buddy I knows youse glad to see me but youse owe me breakfast mon! Dang I was hungry." Theo noticed that parted was listening but was obviously distracted. Following the Taurens gaze he saw the lovely young tauren Wiindriider approching over the rope bridge from the main rise. nnParted hair said several things rapidly in tauren as he shifted from hoof to hoof. His manner was very ernest and nervous and Theo was absolutly certain that the big bull had momentarily forgotten that Theo didn't speak a single word of Tauren. Theo nodded for he was utterly certain that what he was seeing was a bull utterly smitten and in love. He picked up a couple words here and there though. He wasn't quite sure, but he was certain he heard "witness". Falling back on that secret of elder wisdon 'if you don't know whats going on, nod slowly and keep a serious face.' nnThis little bit of wisdon had served him well through the decades and looked to be working still as Partedhair hitched up his harness with a firm nod and strode slowly but with great power, and even a lilting grace in his stride toward the approching Wiindriider. Within moments he was up to her. Ahh young love. He could tell that the great bull wanted desperatly to reach out and fold the comely cow into his arms and appently the feelings were mutual. The two spoke briefly in tauren. Though most might not notice, Theo couold see that Parted hair was trembling. nnHe pointed out Theotaz to Wiindriider who's eyes lit up in warm welcome. Theo quietly walked forward, his hand clasped in front of him, his great cloak billowing behind him in the morning breeze over the bluff. He scetched a courtly bow in her direction once he came up to her. Her gaze serched his face. He waved off any questions with a quiet "It is good to see you lady Wiindriider. I have returned, but please, no questions. You look well, and I see dat yourself and Partedhair have grown closer... much closer if I don't miss ma guess eh?" he said with a wide smile and a twinkle in his eye. He could see the flush form as she gasped for a moment. "Shhhhhh!" he told her. Time for new of ma travels later. I tink maybe de next few moment be for you." he spoke as he waved a hand in parted hairs direction. nnTheo stroked his chin as Partedhair stumbled over some words in Tauren obviously directed at Wiindriider in a most formal and mesured tone. Theo held his curiousity. If his friend was doing what he though he was doing all would be obvious with moments.

[Aitana]

Most of you on your applications said that a guild is like a family. A family looks out for each other. It would be shameful to let a family member suffer alone if they were being harassed. If a guildmate is being ganked and camped, anybody who is available should go to their aid. In the case where there are not enough to fight back, those that are available should still go to help that person escape and find something else to do.nnBut the real issue in the war is not PvP. It is the behavior of the Kingship. The Kingship started this war. We chose not be continue to be their plaything.nnThe war is over immediately, and Kingship goes on /ignore. These are the reasons:nn

1. Bullying What Kingship does is not simply pvp. It goes beyond that into the realm of harassment and bullying. Lowbies and our people that are out questing on their own are targets for Kingship hunting parties. When we win in any shape or form, they will retaliate. That is expected. But they don't simply retaliate against the group that won or against people that enjoy PvP. They specifically target people that are alone and that are not pvp-ers. Not only do they target these people, they send out overwhelming numbers and they use Horde alts to find them. nn
n
2. The non-RP nature of this war. They do this in the name of RP, but realistically it is a form of god-modding. They imposed the war on us. For a long time we played along, but we will not play along with something that is solely intended as an excuse to act like douchbags. Getting on Horde alts and using the /who and friends list to find what zone we are in is a form of god-modding because it would not be possible for an Alliance character to do that if the game were real. nnIn addition to god-modding, they have pulled in non-RP guilds to participate. They are not content to simply fight us and let the chips fall where they may. They feel such a need to demolish us in every single encounter that they have pulled in No Mercy Mafia, No Clothes Required, and several other known non-RP pvp guilds to do their dirty work and to ensure that they always have superior numbers.nnBy allowing the war to continue, we allow them to bully us in the name of RP. By stopping the war, we take that veneer away and force their hand. Either they will stop the bullying or the non-RP nature of what they do will be shown for what it truly is.nn
n
3. Continued interaction with Kingship feeds Hinik's megalomania. According to at least five independent sources outside of Kingship, Hinik believes that he controls all RP on the Alliance side. I also base this on my conversation with him and conversations I have had with a few of his members. I will not name the names of any of my sources because of potential fall-out that could occur to them if word got back that they had talked to me. nnHinik tells his members that Kingship is the best that the Alliance has to offer in terms of RP, and that outside of the Kingship that the Alliance side is an RP wasteland. To the extent that the Alliance RP community buys into what he tells them, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. nnKingship was formed a few years ago for the purpose of taking the RP guilds at the time and forming them into one guild. Promises and agreements were made and Hinik reneged on them and usurped power for himself to make Kingship into what he wanted it to be. All the former guild leaders of the original guilds quit in disgust, left the game or left the server. I got this information from three independent sources. Again I will not name the names because of potential fall-out that could occur to them if word got back that they had talked to me. He continues to absorb RP guilds like he did to Stormriders and to throw his weight around with rest. Kingship shuns any RP-er or RP guild that isn't in Hinik's good graces, and that shunning is absolute and complete. It becomes difficult for that person to even find groups for instances because members of Kingship and guilds associated with Kingship will not group with people from guilds or RP-ers that Hinik has black-balled.nnWhat Kingship has become is a raiding guild that RP's. What they are working on becoming is a raiding and pvp guild that RP's so that he can absorb even more guilds. We want no part in helping him attempt to take over more control of the Alliance. If we allow this war to continue, we are helping Hinik achieve his goals.nnThings are changing on the Alliance side. There is a movement to establish an RP community on the Alliance side that is independent of Kingship. Kingship has maintained that they don't need any other guilds to maintain their RP. Stopping the war will give Kingship the opportunity to demonstrate that. nnHinik's goal according to the rumor mill is to control all RP on the server. Evidence for this is in how the Kingship was formed, how he has dealt with RP-ers and RP guilds he doesn't agree with on the Alliance side. He has effectively controlled much of the Alliance RP for over a year. And now according to the rumor, he is working on doing the same on the Horde side. In Hinik's communication with me he is trying to tell me how we should run Nyx. While he has not demanded that I kick Warzen and Foxx, he has made it very clear with words like, "Given what you know about Warzun, why is he still in Nyx?" and much more that he wants them kicked. I deeply resent Hinik's attempts at meddling and I want nothing to do with Kingship of the East.

nnKingship of the East does not exist as far as Nyx is concerned.
