We learned many things in the land of the dwarves. The first of those lessons was the difference between dwarves and gnomes, and how upset the latter can be if you assume they are the former. And how hard it is to keep from laughing in the face of their adorable indignation. The second lesson […]
I was eleven when Lordaeron fell. I remember the day the news came like it was yesterday. The hushed voices of the adults, the weeping that they thought the children didn’t notice. The news, when they finally told us, didn’t mean much to me. A few aunts, uncles, and cousins I barely remembered meeting had […]
Well, shit. Four paws hit the cobblestones and a wealth of familiar smells hit her nose. Cue drool. Getting here wasn’t an issue, nor was finding clothes again, although clothes felt so damn weird these days. There were so many mages and portals and carts and ships…granted, mage portals cost you an arm and a […]
“Sir?” Kun peered around the tent flap, holding a helmet under her arm and looking more then vaguely concerned. Also, ugh. Her head was pounding. Thank goodness she’d been put on guard duty, although…crap, yeah, they probably knew she rolled back into camp hungover from Boralus. At least that dark skinned dwarf in the tavern […]
Aedeminar Silvertree Reed stood on the porch of her borrowed cottage, gripping the handrail and staring off across the fields. She knew with the certainty of both a healer and a creature half-wild that labor was upon her, but she hadn’t seen fit to tell anyone about it yet. Mostly because she was allowing herself […]
There was a dog, resting it’s head on the cool grass, snoring softly in the dim light of early, early morning. Well, something like a dog, maybe a little too big, a little too rangy. Some of the locals muttered about a coyote getting a little too bold recently. There was a huff, and a […]
((The following is a relic from 2013, written by myself, Taldrus, Acele, Jaero, and Corran for a player-run RP order of paladins. Basically a tinier Silver Hand. We poured through books, Lore, what have you to put these together. Recently, it was brought up in roleplay (training squires!) and folks were curious, so here it […]
A bookseller places a display inside his shop with the next title in a long string of adventure romance novels written under the pen name of Antionette Lyonard. The title ‘Dark Rituals’ is written in an embossed script on the cover, standing out over a darkened scene with it’s shining silver letters. A scene has […]
Ryo involuntarily shivered as another splash of water hit him. Each splash soaked him a little more which made the icy wind feel as if it were cutting deeper. As an Illidari he was adept at gliding through the air with his wings so dealing with wind wasn’t a problem. He was however not at […]
My father was a great Tauren. He stood tall as the mesas on which Thunder Bluff rests, and his smile was bright while his frown was storm and thunder. His name was Houl Stormhoof, and he died on the Broken Shore, fighting the Legion, and ensuring that I and many others came home. Often he […]
This letter arrives by courier, alongside the war and situation dispatches from the 7th Legion and Alliance activities on Kul Tiras: To Justicar Dawnfield, Greetings : I have had the distinctly mixed pleasure of meeting several of your Templars in the field. Most are courteous and professional, and both as per orders and personal bent, we […]
A relatively young female elf drops a note with an attached envelope off at the front desk of Fateshifter Industries addressed to a Mr. Zen Fateshifter. Zen, Please accept my most sincere apologies. I was given this message many years ago to give to you. I can only assume the trauma of the occurance that […]
The phrase “old gods” was something weighted, but otherwise benign on its own. The words individually were harmless. Though when they were strung together, heads might turn in skepticism, but dismiss them in favor of more immediate and pressing matters. Their world was yet again consumed by war, afterall. What an endless cycle. Yet Saashenka […]
The letter read: Commander – These are for you. I have seen you giving things away. But your right shoulder strap snapped yesterday, and your clothes are worn. You were telling me that “looking good feels good” and while I cannot attest to the efficacy of that as I do not feel it, I can […]
She leaned her head against the cool wall. No water today, it seemed, but there was enough damp in the air, thank goodness… A pale hand reached out and up through the single, tiny window, fog gently swirling around it like the soft song winding through the air. “Farewell and adieu to you, Stormwind ladies […]
Mosur had already shrugged off the chill of Winterspring by the time he returned home. “Sorry I’m late,” he called from the front door. “I didn’t know how long it would take Dictator to get there.” He followed up as he passed through the small house and into the kitchen. He grinned as he watched […]
Auris knew something was wrong before making landfall in Drustvar, she felt it best to follow the local channels of travel, in this case, and had found it extremely difficult to charter a ride to the shores. After handing over a hefty sum of gold and diverting a rather large and menacing shark from the […]
She opened her eyes with a brief inrush of air and…exhale, drawing her hand quickly back from the small, glowing blue crystal orb. Marvelous stuff, this Azerite. Light knew she felt poorly for taking advantage of the world’s wound, but this crystal had already been shaped and readied by another of the less scrupulous of […]
Insulting. There is something to laud in every magic, but some are more deserving than others. The swell from my battle with The Burning Legion carried me back to Azeroth with a thrill I’ve not felt in centuries. My cup overflows and I relish the contentment. I was right to anticipate just how much the […]
Velaenna blinked, consciousness slowly returning as her eyes adjusted to the dim light of the room. Her eyes darted around, trying to identify her surroundings. Her mind still felt groggy from sleep that she didn’t recall willingly choosing, but her trained senses were already ahead of the rest of her, taking in the sights, smells, […]
“You’ve never been like this before.” “Shut up.” “See?” Emma frowned as Mallory glared up at her through glazed-over eyes. “You weren’t there!” Mallory fired back, pointing a shaking finger in vaguely her direction. “You didn’t… You didn’t see…” As Mallory sat on a bench in front of the bar on a ship bound for […]
Written based on an idea by Casey [link] wherein I have taken another players character and written based on what I know of RPing with the character. Written with permission from Janderius. Journal can only be called canon at Janderius’ player’s discretion. Thank you. “Catch you later. Don’t go dying between now and tomorrow.” Janderius […]
((This is the speech my priestess of Elune made at the Teldrassil memorial. I post it here for posterity – I’ll just lose it if I don’t put it somewhere. XD My friends, I must begin by thanking you for joining us in this bleak time. My name is Anapholentia and I am a priestess […]
(I just read up on the details of Admiral Proudemoore’s death, and this came to mind) But what they did not choose to realize Was how far he had fallen How he did bring the vengeance of the tides To his own ruin She begged, she begged, for them to have a peace He cast […]
I should be home right now. It wasn’t the first time Keleosha had thought that today, but as newly risen corpses shambled out of the green mist on the battlefield in front of her it came to her again. Moments ago, Sylvanas Windrunner, Warchief of the Horde had released the blight outside of Undercity, killing […]
