The Uprising

Introduction: The Uprising is a dark guild, intent on increasing its own power, and constructing its own Empire. The Uprising is a small faction, opposed to both the Alliance and Horde. It is composed almost entirely of members from the Alliance races. The entire order is devoted to the Dark Sorceress, Aeorna Shiridriel, who has guided the order from its inception.
Structure: The Uprising is divided into two major sections:
These are the Acolytes, the spellcasters of the order, who serve as magical support in combat, and preachers of Aeorna's word. They serve under the Grand Acolyte, currently Racathor. The Acolytes train in their own Academy, where they learn the darker arts of magic, and study under the Grand Acolyte. They often aquire magical artifacts, and study them in the name of the Uprising.
The other division, is the Military. This is divided again, into two divisions. The Soldiers form up the bulk of the Military, and serve as the main combatants of the order. A single Captain leads the Soldiers. This position is currently held by Kal Torak. Torak has held the post for a short time, but is strongly devoted to the Dark Sorceress. The other subdivision of the military, is the Scouts. They act as both the intelligence part of the order, as well as those who gather information of the enemy, and sabotage the enemy, on the field of battle. The Scouts are also lead by a Captain, but this post is vacant.
The Military currently lacks a strong leadership. Formerly, the two divisions were lead by Generals, while the entire division was lead by the High General. The former High General was Uemreai Gensou, who lead the Legions of Darkness, the predecessor order to the Uprising. Uemreai went missing for some time, but returned shortly, before again leaving. Jei formerly held the post of General of Scouts, until she went missing. Ajax then held the post of Captain of Scouts, before he left the order. The last General of the Soldiers was Alexarrah, a mercenary under the emply of Aeorna. She then betrayed the order, and is now known as a traitor.
Above these two divisions, stands the Regius Patronus. They are Aeorna's personal guard, and the elite of the order. They act as watchers, and executioners. Within the order, they punish those who disobey, or act against the order. They also serve Aeorna's every wish. When someone betrays, or leaves the order, they are tasked with hunting these traitors down, and punishing them.thumb|350px|right|An old recruitment video for the Uprising.
Legions of Darkness: 
The Legions of Darkness was the order Aeorna Shiridriel lead, before the Uprising. She was the figurehead leader her, with Uemreai Gensou acting as the High General, and true leader of the Legions. This order collapsed, after a great deal of internal strife. Upon its collapse, Aeorna went missing for several months, as did Uemreai.
Early History: 
The Uprising was formed in the wake of the collapse of the Legions of Darkness. Aeorna came out of hiding, much more powerful. She quickly went about the tasking of forming a new order under her banner. First of all, she assembled her officers. Two of these were Catainto Netherstalker, and Uemreai Gensou. Catainto was Aeorna's "Sorceress' Knight" and her champion. Uemreai was Aeorna's former High General. Both took up their old posts, and Aeorna continued to construct her new order.
Aeorna quickly found new blood to assist her order. Glayn Mournewind joined the order. She formed a new body within the Uprising, building off of Catainto's post as Sorceress' Knight. Glayn constructed the Regius Patronus. This body would oversee the Uprising, and act as police. They would punish, and oversee the other divisions, as well as act as Aeorna's personal guard. Glayn took command of this, as the first Lady of the Regius Patronus. Catainto held his rank as Sorceress' Knight.
The Human Death Knight Xiandia soon joined the order. After a time, Uemreai had gone missing. Her location was known to no one. Soon, Aeorna gave Xiandia the post of General of the military, to keep command of the military in Uemreai's absence. The next to join would be Cinara. She took command of the newly formed Acolytery, and became the Uprising's first Grand Acolyte. Soon, she was removed from the position by Aeorna, and succeeded by Lariment, as the second Grand Acolyte.
The Uprising began wreaking havoc across the world, trying to bring glory and power to the Dark Sorceress. The order partially succeeded. They did gain power, but also a name for themselves. They would become quickly hated within the Alliance. Unfortunately, Glayn disappeared, and Catainto succeeded her, as the Lord of the Regius Patronus.
Even as their conflicts with the Alliance grew, and they became a continually larger threat, internal strife threatened again to rip the Uprising apart. The general, Xiandia, and the Grand Acolyte, Lariment, began what would be known as the Uprising's "Main Rebellion". This lasted a great deal of time, and saw Catainto Netherstalker leading the loyalists to Aeorna, against the forces of Xiandia and Lariment. The rebellion ended with Xiandia being defeated, and branded traitor to the Uprising. Lariment was equally branded traitor. To this day, Xiandia is still the most renowned traitor the Uprising has ever known.
Recent History: The Eclipsion-Uprising war:
With the Main Rebellion ended, and Aeorna returned to her seat of power, she sought to re-create the Uprising, and rebuild her now depleted ranks. With Catainto as her only officer, in the seat of power as Lord of the Regius Patronus, she needed new Generals, and a new Grand Acolyte. She first found Alexarrah. This woman was a mercenary Aeorna had hired. Alexarrah ascended through the ranks of the military quickly, and became the new General.
As Alexarrah began reforming the military under her own forms, a conflict broke out. The Uprising went to war with a large order known as the Eclipse Cartel. This war lasted some time, and saw tremendous casualties for both sides. The war was by no means a success for the Uprising, but it did cement their position as a well known, and powerful order.
After the war with the Eclipse Cartel concluded, a man named Racathor was given the rank of Grand Acolyte. He began reforming the division quickly, as it had all but collapsed without leadership for so long a time. Aestathlan had been acting Overseer of Acolytes, but had done little. Racathor immediately made strong connections with Catainto Netherstalker, and met Alexarrah several times.
The Uprising's Gilneas Project: As the war with the Eclipse Cartel concluded, the Gilneas project of the Uprising began. They moved into several of the less used areas of Gilneas. From here, they began to build up a base of power, and trained all their new members. The military became more organised, and the Acolytes prospered. Within Gilneas, the new Grand Acolyte began to preach the word of Aeorna regularly, and the General began to teach the Soldiers mounted combat.
Unfortunately, Alexarrah turned traitor. She had betrayed the Uprising, by giving information to other orders. She was attacked in Gilneas by Uprising forces, before escaping. She still stands as a traitor to the Uprising. As Alexarrah left, Glayn returned. Glayn was only given the post of Soldier, at the request of both Catainto, and Racathor, to keep her from the Regius Patronus for a time. Glayn fought for the Uprising, but soon grew a strong dislike for both Racathor and Catainto.
After Glayn's return, the woman Jei came to the Uprising. She took up the post of General of Scouts, giving the now leaderless Military a much needed boost. She was joined by Ajax, who was given the rank of Captain of Scouts. Together, they led the Scouts to a very prosperous state. Sadly, as the Scouts prospered, the Soldiers weakened. The Soldiers still lacked a leader entirely, and this was evident. As such, Aeorna sought the aid of more mercenaries. A Night Elf named Reikan joined, as another Mercenary. For a short time, Reikan was given the rank of General of soldiers, lasting for a single week, before being declared traitor.
The Uprising's strength in Gilneas began to wane, as their forces grew more relaxed in the solitude of the region. Unfortunately, the Uprising attacked a group of adventurers in the mountains of Gilneas, one of whom turned out to be a noble from Stormwind. This invoked a massive attack on the Uprising forces in Gilneas. The Uprising was beaten out of Gilneas in a quick campaign. By the end of this, the Uprising held only a small island off of Gilneas' coast.
Catainto's Heresy: Soon after Gilneas, both Ajax and Jei left the order. This was a large blow to the Uprising. They now lacked leadership, and a base of operations. Glayn continued to strive to gain power, while Racathor and Catainto continued leading the Uprising. Aeorna grew more seclusive, and the order was left mostly in the hands of Catainto.
For several months, nothing truly occurred. Eventually, Catainto fell to Demonic corruption. He turned on the order, and began what is now known as Netherstalker's Heresy. This was the 2nd largest rebellion the Uprising has ever seen. After the destruction of several Uprising bases at the hands of Netherstalker's forces, a final battle in Northrend ensued. Catainto was killed, after momentarily breaking from the Demonic influence. Glayn, having almost been killed fighting Catainto, was given the post of Regius Patronus.
Soon after the rebellion, Aurcheus Deathclaw, former Praetorian of the Regius Patronus, officially ascended to the rank of Lord of the Regius Patronus. He began a fair running of the Regius Patronus, with Glayn as the only member. Racathor continued his support of the Lord of the Regius Patronus, and gave his own support entirely to the newly appointed Lord Deathclaw.
Aeorna's Disappearance: Recently, Aeorna Shiridriel has gone missing. Aurcheus took this opportunity to claim himself Overlord of the Uprising. He took Aeorna's place as ruler of the Uprising. Racathor backed him in this, and took the opportunity to make himself the commander of the Uprising's political endeavours. He took to overseeing the order, and commanding its general duties. Aurcheus began rebuilding the long-weakened military. Glayn was appointed as the Lady of the Regius Patronus, making her the 1st, and 4th Lady of the Regius Patronus.
Aeorna Shiridriel: Aeorna Shiridriel is the Dark Sorceress of the Uprising. She acts as the figurehead for most of the Uprising, inspiring the order to fight in her name. She also holds absolute power within the Uprising, commanding all others. She is an extremely powerful Sorceress, and within the Uprising, is revered almost as a goddess. The Sorceress' Knight, and Regius Patronus, both existed originally to act as her elite guards.
Present: Overlord Aurcheus Deathclaw - Aurcheus Deathclaw recently ascended, to become the self-proclaimed Overlord of the Uprising. He was a long-time member of the Regius Patronus, and its 3rd Lord. As one of Aeorna's most devout servants, he has chosen to command the order in her absence.
Grand Acolyte Racathor - Racathor has held the title of Grand Acolyte longer than any other, and is currently the 3rd Grand Acolyte. He has always been a devout servant of Aeorna, even if he was never on very good terms with her. He has supported Aurcheus fully, and held strong connections with Catainto. Currently, he acts as the Uprising's political commander.
Lady Glayn Mournewind of the Regius Patronus - Glayn formed the Regius Patronus, and was its 1st and 4th Lady. She went missing for a time, but serves Aeorna resolutely. She held a strong dislike for Catainto and Racathor, now trying to gain her own power in the Uprising.
