Cassandra Lyon

Cassandra Lyon was an aged woman of poise, beauty, and ferocity. Originally betrothed to a handsome young knight of Lyon who perished shortly after their marriage, she had inherited the seat of Sarcelfen and became an exemplar of her family’s stubborn refusal to submit to disgrace and obscurity. Cassandra had done all she could to uphold her family’s prestige and repair the damage done to it long ago. Having found moderate success in her efforts by forging better trade agreements with the rest of Mirwood and combating the crippling superstition that inhibits relations with the Mage Circle, she was celebrated by her people as a leader and matriarchal figure. Outside Sarcelfen, however, she suffered the same scorn as other Lyons. As her own many years begin to wear on her once fiery personality and boundless ambition, one last challenge sat before her. One last task that had troubled her since her childhood. Each morning, she stands on the highest balcony of her manor… her eyes fixed on the Withering Wood.

## Sarcelfen Incident and Death

Cassandra sold off her family's remaining fortunes in order to fund a group of mercenaries to steal the mythical Flute of Taerus from within the Heartsgrove tree. This action instigated the Sarcelfen Incident, awakening a cursed dragon that tore through Sarcelfen, destroying the Lyon Manor, damaging a large portion of the cities of Canard and Lyonne which led to the deaths of many citizens and the collapse of House Lyon. Cassandra realized the mistake she had made, lamenting her course of action but stubbornly refusing to admit any wrong doing outwardly. When her sons died, she attempted to do anything and everything to hide away and save her daughters, sending them into the catacombs beneath the Cathedral of Lyonne.

During the final days of the incident, the cursed dragon Taerus attacked the city, collapsing the cathedral on top of Cassandra and ending her life. However, her actions led to both daughters surviving alongside a large portion of the populace of Lyonne as they escaped the fighting in the city through the underground tunnels. Her legacy will always be stained to all those who look from the outside in, but those within Sarcelfen still praise her name for her actions throughout her reign.

**Report:**

Drill training began at 8PM, with the Recruits learning the basics of Attention, Platoon Formation, Fall In, the Faces, Draw and Order Arms, and At Ease. The formations of Line and Knot were exercised, and a majority of the recruits seemed to understand the practice and how they were to fit within these formations.

Following Drill Training, Combat Training began against dummies. However, this training was interrupted by an attack from a malformed bear, afflicted with some kind of void taint. Despite taking serious damage, the bear continued to assault until it had been, essentially, hacked into chunks of meat. Seeing the corruption it was causing, Corporal Aurelious called for a member of the Church for assistance. Banner Corporal Silverlight assisted and helped to cleanse the area after Knight-Captain Roy Sebale burned away the body with magical flames.

The night, beyond the attack, was quiet, though I am disconcerted fro the likelihood of local gnoll populations being affected by this void taint, as the bear was sighted with a dead gnoll body in its' mouth. Recruit Dannsy had several issues with uniform, which have been resolved.

## F.A.Q.s

**What is your advice for DMing?**

The following advice is composited from statements given by multiple officers. More may be added to this answer in the future!

You must be willing to put yourself out there, make mistakes, and accept critical feedback without taking offense. If you consistently work at it, you will see tremendous improvement over time if you take that into consideration and implement improvements.

Another thing is that sometimes new DMs try and over-structure things. You need to allow for people in the event to influence what happens, and you need to be able to improvise when people to unexpected things. This doesn’t mean you should not have a clear understanding of what you want to do and accomplish before you begin the event, but you must be willing to take peoples actions into consideration.

You should also be sure to take the numbers in attendance into consideration when beginning your event. An event can be fun whether there are two people for forty just by making sure you adjust your plan to take that into consideration. As an example, if you were planning on a siege type battle and only a couple people show up? No problem! Consider using NPCs to fight the main battle, and have the attendees use it as a distraction to go in through a hidden entrance. The same thing can be done in reverse!

**I hate most rolling systems that people use in WoW because they feel needlessly mathematical and unwieldy in terms of pacing events, storytelling and balancing difficulty. Will I get frowned at if I introduce my own bare-bones rolling rules for when I Dungeon Master events?**

I can't say that we would not prefer it if you used the D20 Conquest system, especially for larger/important events, but it is definitely OK to use a barebones system for casual events. If you're not comfortable using the D20 Conquest system for larger events, I'd personally recommend getting in some practice to try it out and if you're still not convinced, then just make sure you announce ahead of time that you'll be using something different.
Hunt for the Fountain of Health

Reeling from their defeat in the Arathi Highlands, the first regiment ventured to the north seeking a fabled fountain of health in a desperate bid to save the life of the Duchess of Westridge. The regiment delved deep into the eastern plaguelands in their search and were ambushed and surrounded by the blood elven faction known as the Fireborne. Duke Maxen turned himself over as a temporary prisoner so that the regiment could carry on to find the fountain of health in the Hinterlands.
Pridion Greycliff

> "**What a drag...**"
> ― Pridion Greycliff
>
>

**Pridion Greycliff** is an active-duty Lieutenant in the Stormwind Army assigned to the First Regiment under Grand Marshal Maxen Montclair. He currently serves as the regiment's supply officer and as the leader of its engineering corps. Additionally, he holds position of *High Inquisitor* in the Stormwind Inquisition and the title of Vidame of Montvale.

## **Description**

Standing at an average height with a toned, supple build, Pridion's body is one born of conflict and combat. Scars riddle his exposed skin and are a testament to a life lived harshly and deliberately. And yet there is a decidedly casual air about him as he moves from place to place and task to task - as if he's detached himself from his surroundings and their goings-on.

His face is a handsome one, angular with freckles splashed across his nose. A large and noticeable scar sits there as well, cutting from one cheek to the other - his most prominent feature facial feature alongside a pair of intense green eyes. His natural red hair is kept neat, the top longer and styled and the sides short in contrast. And wherever he goes, a strong scent of cinnamon follows him like a cloud, leaving its spicy aroma to linger in his wake as he walks by.

## **Background**

The details of Pridion's history are - to all those but himself - a complete mystery. What is known (or rather, the only information he is willing to divulge) is that he was born somewhere in Westfall to a mother and father who died to a bandit attack when he was a child, leaving him an orphan for most of his life.

His life afterward is a subject that the man refuses to address when asked, and he will either force a change in subject or completely ignore any questions regarding his early history. The only other information he has offered in regards to his past is that he spent a fair amount of his childhood in Tanaris.

At some point, Pridion returned to the Eastern Kingdoms as an adult and enlisted in the Stormwind Army where he still serves today as his unit's logistics officer. He also joined the Church of the Holy Light and now leads the Stormwind Inquisition as its First Inquisitor.

## **Relationship**

**Kristiana Greycliff** - Pridion's wife, a fellow officer and priestess in the First Regiment and the proclaimed "love of his life." The two were initially introduced during Kristiana's tour of Westbook Garrison but later bumped into each other outside duty hours. This meeting became the first of many conversations and visits and an intimate friendship quickly formed between them.

Though Pridion had been in a relationship at the time of their meeting, circumstances eventually led to an amicable separation between himself and his partner. His friendship with Kristiana continued to develop and after a time both of them realized their growing attraction for each other. Kristiana was the first to directly challenge the status quo of their relationship while Pridion was quick to encourage a romantic attachment that ultimately led to their eventual marriage. They are now expecting their first children - twins - in the summer.

Summary:

At 2000 hours the company was assembled to apologize for our target change and laid out expectations for our excursion into Redridge

- Investigate and neutralize any threat of bandit forces associating with the Westfall Confederates

- Marching Formation

- Don't die.

The march through Elwynn was noticeably peaceful and the soldiers maintained double columns to my satisfaction. Many chose to speak at my discretion and it was generally good for morale.

Upon arrival into Redridge we were greeted with particularly gruesome scene.

- The Highway into Duskwood was a barricaded with spikes. Adoring them were guardsmen and yellow/red strips of cloth. A large WC was carved into it.

-The entire garrison of guardsmen was missing or dead. A small trap was found at the top of the tower which was set off. It was discovered by the Sergeant Major that this was a necromantic act that was interrupted.

- Towards the main road of Lakeshire a large bundle of Gnoll bodies was discovered torn asunder. Among them a paper found by Corporal Cooper and deciphered by the Sergeant Major found an alliance of sorts between them and the Confederates.

- Confederate bodies with yellow bandanas were found entirely drained of life. Black blood and skin not unlike a spoiled fruit.

In the midst of searching and deciphering an apparent gang war at the Three Corners tower, a large lumbering abomination comprised of gnoll and human parts flanked us out of the woods with three zombies trailing it. The team took heavy fire from an onslaught of artillery strikes I can only describe as vomit balls. Private Zander slew one of the smaller zombies with extreme prejudice. I cannot help but think she will make a fine Inquisitor for Sir Waylon.

PFC Mawi requires additional training on standard military formations. I admire her tenacity but she has not yet passed aspirancy and does not have leave to attempt a line break. That being said she also dispatched a smaller enemy quite heavily resulting in evisceration. I should note that both Private and PFC respectively were unable to contain their lunch.

Finally, the combined overwhelming might of Bridgeport black powder, cascading magical fire, and a flaming spear from the gods removed the imploding abomination from our sigh thanks to Sergeant Gromley, Dame Alison, Sergeant Major Witherseed, and Sir Roy respectively.

Of note we Zaria uncovered a sigil on one of the wriggling corpses and it was noted to be a "Soul Cairn". A sort of battery of souls not unlike a battery I'd use for a watcher. I don't know what we've got on our hands here but its a big problem.

Leading in Warfare

I*magine for a moment, if you will, that you are a farmer, a humble being, called to war. You've been given armor, a sword, and a shield, but a heart cannot be given so easily by other men. You've been told that you are to enter a war wholly unprecedented in the history of your forefathers. Your enemy? Demons. Monsters, twice the size of a dire troll, as quick as an elf.

Naturally, if you are this soldier, fighting a foe as that starts to look dramatically less appealing compared to staying home. You might have been trained, and trained well, but above all else you need reassurance. You might need reassurance that you will live to see another tomorrow, or the particularly fervent might need reassurance that their deaths are not in vain.

Two veterans stand before you as those who would reassure you. The first is unflinching, fearless in the face of the enemy. He takes warfare as warfare, as seriously as he takes your wellbeing. He exemplifies this through courtly demeanor, and an educated (Though not overly) outlook. He always has his orders and can relay them to you, he can quell any concern decisively and with conviction. In layman's terms, he is a shepherd of war.

The second, is just as skilled of a warrior, just as experienced, but is plagued by the trappings of the undisciplined soldier. His demeanor is plagued with colloquialisms, his expressions of respect only superficial, his free time is spent drinking, and making merry. A captain of the people, as it were.

Experience shows that while the latter will always be more popular during peacetime, the former is what warriors come to rely on when battles are at their most grim their most dire. It is in those moments that a leader's prowess is tested and a demeanor stoic, yet cultured and a tongue sharp, yet restrained is one of the first, and foundational steps to a personality like that.*
*Not convinced yet? Imagine yourself as the commander of those men, instead. It is no secret that superiors put greater trust in the folk who act the part they mean to play, rather than folk who simply hope their actions alone will speak. But we will cover more of that topic in a future chapter.

Now, let us first start with speech...*

*- Dame Teliria of Arathor, in Leading in Warfare*
House Grunscheld

Originally from the House of Grimwald, Lady Beora abandoned her father's lineage to rid herself of the disgrace she felt it was associated with. The House of Grimwald was once known as a thriving and chivalrous house, but years spent in isolation combined with the hard times fallen upon Fairpeak lead to Sir Olaf Grimwald becoming abusive and corrupt. Far preferring a son than a daughter, Olaf was unkind to Beora and eventually pushed her to flee home. It was not until she was already gone that Olaf realized the error of his ways. In guilt and disgrace, Sir Olaf took his own life some years later.

Lords over Barony of Fangwood

## Current Status

Lady Beora's new noble house, the House of Grunscheld is promised to be of great chivalry and a defender of the people. To that end, Lady Beora has begun the long and arduous task of taming Fangwood to allow for settlements. Those young men and women inspired by her example spend their days under her tutelage, training to be some of the very first knights of her house.

The house of Grunscheld is young, and as yet no heirs have been sired to carry the name. Lady Beora is known to be seeking a partner, though between her preference for gentlemen and her extremely aggressive courting habits... she has had difficulty finding anyone who can fit both.
Arcane Energy: The Light's Volatile Cousin

This is intended to be a brief overview of The Arcane.

The Arcane, a Mage's best friend. Whether they choose to turn it into Frost, Fire, or use it in its raw form like myself we all need it to flow through our bodies. But where does it come from? One may ask. Well, we are fortunate to be living on a gigantic font of this Arcane.

Arcane energy is volatile and does not follow the will of most. It is a naturally occurring power source that travels throughout Azeroth and Draenor through the ground. If one who was adept with the arcane was to be standing on top of these ley lines they would find themselves with enhanced power. The ley lines travel to important points throughout the world and intersect at every source of magic on the planet! (We will talk about those intersections later) Here is a image of the known ley lines of Azeroth. NOTE: These are not exact and do not include The Broken Isles because they have not been mapped yet. (Too many demons)
[1]

Any Invoker is able to draw out the potential of this energy from any point on Azeroth and beyond, it is how our abilities function. But we feel a draw after some time. Become weary, even though we are not Nightfallen Elves, our own bodies are small batteries. Using too much power at one time can result in a mana-draw, A temporary illness for those magically inclined.

Where the line intersect. Great power is found. From the World Tree to Karazhan, Ley lines connect all of these places. If one was to channel spells and invoke magic near these intersections. They would find themselves not having a mana-draw. Their bodies constantly being infused with raw Arcane. Truely marvelous.

### Founder

Randolph Montclair

The House of Montclair serve as both the Dukes of Westridge and Lords of Clairmont, seated at Westridge Keep. House Montclair is a relatively humble Great House whose power and status is long since secure and nigh unquestionable. Largely regarded to be reliable and just, House Montclair has suffered very few challenges to their power, and have held these titles all the way back to the founding of Stormwind.

Lords over the Ducal Seat of Clairmont, County of Clairmont, and the Duchy of Westridge

## Current Status

Due to their humble nature and small personal holdings, House Montclair relies almost entirely on Royal favor and loyalty of its many vassals to exert power. House Montclair does not maintain their own feudal forces outside of the Ducal Guard. Its members prefer instead to focus efforts on the Royal Army command it has been tasked with, and almost all members of age in the family serve the Royal Army in some context. The family boasts precious few sources of income but also maintains a modest budget. Very little spending is given to luxury or comfort. Clairmont remains a relatively inexpensive province with regards to feudal upkeep cost due to its lack of infrastructure and development. The House of Montclair has always preferred to maintain the natural beauty of the region and discourages settling in the County for this reason.

As Clairmont includes only the personal holdings of House Montclair, the heir to the Duchy is traditionally named the Lord of Clairmont. If there is no heir of age to fill the position, it can simply be held by the Duke himself.
12/3/39 LC - Debrief - Abigail Potter

**Subject:** Debrief of Survivors From The Hayley Chain Incident

**Date:** 12/3/39

**Author:** SGT Abigail Potter

At 2000 hours, survivors from the incident came to Westbrook Garrison for debrief. The list of names mentioned in the story are as follows:

**[Deceased] Ninah Suarez ((played by Gretchen))**

Died while valiantly drawing the attention of a behemoth hozen named "Grimpot" so that her comrades could escape. Grimpot is the cause for several of the deceased below.

**[Alive] Petty Officer William Turner ((played by Cooper))**

Fought to the end before knocked out and falling off the ship.

**[Deceased] Master Chief Petty Officer Richard "Dick" Uppercutt ((played by Thaddeus))**

Died from friendly fire, a bullet to the head, as one of the crew fired while blinded by sap.

**[Deceased] Doctor Professor Emrise Jones ((played by Tilliea))**

Died in a valiant attempt to retake their ship, facing against Grimpot.

**[Deceased] Petty Officer Second Class Kyle Richards ((played by Almerim))**

Died in the midst of his attempt to rescue Chuck Bower, slain by a large hozen.

**[Deceased] Sir Anders Nighthall the Striving ((played by Alison))**

Died from gatling gun fire when Grimpot commandeered it after killing Henry Thorne.

**[Deceased] Seaman Thrust Cracken ((played by Nathul))**

Died while valiantly trying to slay Grimpot and secure their ship.

**[Deceased] Lieutenant Brett McMunsch ((played by Maxen))**

Unlucky victim of Grimpot, died when receiving a crushing below.

**[Deceased] Petty Officer Third Class Henry Thorne ((played by Grilem))**

Died while attempting to lay cover fire so that his comrades could escape. Killed by Grimpot.

**[Alive] Foreman Chuck Bower ((played by Abigail))**

Somehow survived, likely because he did not engage in combat.

**[Alive] Lyle Lizzleboat ((played by Clye))**

Fought to the grim end, rescuing William in the process before being marooned.

**The story is summarized as follows:**

* Smooth sailing to the Hayley Chain.
* Horde ships present, distance maintained.
* Met with the foreman of the azerite excavations, Chuck Bower.
* Detonated a small [empty] native village to harvest the azerite below the earth.
* Assisted Bower in securing another section of the island.
* Bower got stuck in a snare trap, and hozen presence seemed to be watching them.
* Bower took a spinal injury from a fall which caused further disruption in their mission.
* The hozen assault began with a horn, and they swarmed the party.
* The party fought against overwhelming odds, making their way back to the ship. Several died in the chaos.
* They were nearly able to retake their ship, but the hozen overcame them and left them marooned for weeks.
* Other ships, Alliance and Horde alike were also seen being commandeered.
* "Big Grook" was mentioned, a hozen clan.

It would appear that these hozen have been rallied into a threatening force, and they are likely the same hozen that appeared in the Eastern Kingdoms.

House Roland

Originally a knightly house, the Rolands were a strong family with a great tradition of horsemanship and loyalty. Servinf Fairpeak and the House of Montclair with distinction, the Rolands were even one of the original owners of a Graygard, the Helmhand. When the First War arrived and decimated their numbers, the Rolands fled north with the Montclairs, but would not return in the same strength. By the time Westridge was retaken, the last surviving member had lost his leg and only remained a serving knight by title.

Lords over the Barony of Rivershore

## Current Status

Years of slow decline since then have left the Rolands without any heirs or holdings to speak of. Unable to leverage his military service during the political jockeying for profitable holdings during the resettling of Westridge, and unable to secure a marriage that would build a family, they have by now been reduced to a single withering man well past his glory days. Thus, House Roland is a noble house that was raised with the knowledge that it would not last beyond this generation.

Private Silvwin Saltz

Summary:

At 2000 hours the company was assembled to conclude the patrol started on Tuesday. A minor briefing was held on findings from the previous patrol as well as my own misgivings at the loss of Private Dill. Expectations were laid out as follows:

- Investigate and neutralize any remaining threat in the Moonbrook holding

- Marching Formation

- Don't die.

The march through Westfall was eerily quiet for much of the evening until we arrived at Moonbrook. The evidence of battle remained unwashed due to lack of rains and only picked by the carrion birds. Private Lloria and Tork uncovered a sort of trail leading into town center where we found what appeared to be a pristine condition 18lb Cannon loaded for bear.

Upon inspection by Lieutenant Loucelles it was found to be a an illusion revealing a Goblin like barrel trap. The Regiment was set upon by all sides which I will enumerate here:

-1 trio of Kul Tiran Mercenaries

-2 groups of irregular line gunners

-1 Magi wearing blue robes and black mask (Use of Elemental Magics discerned)

-1 Cannon crew later appearing in the building above

Private Tork has shown that he not only has a discerning eye for precision cuts in surgery but also in battle eviscerating much of the brutes on his own before aid was rendered by Corporal Aurelious. Private Lloria kept one group of irregulars at bay for much of the battle and should be commended for bravery in the field.

Sergeant Major Witherseed alongside Sir Waylon dispatched the secondary group of irregulars quite handily with a one two Freezing spell and piercing arrow that resulted in securing our flank. And finally Private Saltz immediately engaged the Magi combatant severely wounding and ultimately dispatching him via crushing assault.

Corporal Cooper was able to disarm and re appropriate the bomb enabling Sergeant Major Witherseed to teleport it into the window of the enemy where Lieutenant Clement ignited it via Mage fire. I'm happy to report that we experienced no loss of our own soldier's life on this patrol and acquired the barrel of a new 18lb Cannon that was salvaged from the explosion via horse team after action.

However, there does appear to be a real connection between the groups encountered in Redridge and Westfall, one being the "Sisterhood" and the other using an insignia of "WC" using Black and Yellow masks respectively. I request authorization to move forward in cleaning out the mine soon as these are heavily armed dissidents.

Signed,

Northwatch Hold

The New Horde launched a campaign of conquest against the Alliance-loyal guardsmen of Northwatch Hold, prompting the Grand Alliance to intervene. The regiment joined what came to be known as the Battle for Bloodwreck Bay as reinforcements from both the Alliance and Horde poured in from abroad. Both sides of the conflict suffered great loss and Northwatch Hold was severely damaged.
Overlook of Compassion

*"Vengeance cannot be apart of what we must do If we allow our passions to turn to bloodlust, then we shall become as vile as the orcs" - Lord Uther the Lightbringer*

*Words of a great man, and a great leader to the Silver Hand, and to the pupils he has taught. While paladins must uphold their conduct of Honour and Tenacity, what are we without Compassion? To ease the minds of the weary, help the sick, and show mercy to our enemies, then what are we? If not worse than the darkness we strive to hold back?*

*The trial of compassion teaches us to show mercy to others, and aid those who have suffered at the hands of evil and heretics alike.*

*Compassion teaches us that honor is something that not only comes from defending our People, or bringing about justice, but to show kindness to our enemies when they in turn would not. To heal the sick without asking for anything in return, and to feed the bellies of the hungry.*

*“Give a man a loaf of bread he shall eat for a day, but show him the path to righteousness, and he shall be filled with a love that is not of this earth” - Father Cyrus Stansfield, Tirisfal Monastery.*

*During my trial, I had shown mercy to one of our own who had fallen from grace, convicted of harming another member of the Regiment, and for delving in the dark arts, where others scorned him and spat at his feet. Despite his bitterness towards me and my fellow knights, his wounds were dressed and the cloth he had on was removed, fearing it would only infect his injuries from his punishment, and cause him to suffer further.*

*Though much has changed for the Order of St. Isaac, as well as our overlook on showing compassion to our foes and to our people, it shall always remain the same in its own unique way.*

*“Do not allow thyself to delve into the darkness of hate, loathing, and vengeance. Love thy brother and sister and show mercy to thine enemies, do not forsake them to a life of damnation. For if we learn not to love and to show mercy to our foes, then we are no better than the very shadow we stand against.” - Sir Derhert Stansfield the Valorous, Templar of the Silver Hand.*

*This Argument is penned by Sir Vitallion Stansfield, the Defender.*
Quinn Crooke

**Turalyona** **Quinn Crooke**, born **Turalyona Quinn Sorrow**, hails from an unremarkable line of bastards in the former Duchy of Strom's March. Her father, Edris Sorrow, earned himself a place among Azeroth's great defenders by volunteering to accompany the Alliance Expedition beyond the Dark Portal. Turalyona, named in honor of the Expedition's famous commander, was born at Honor Hold, having never seen her homeworld. When the worlds of Outland and Azeroth were reconnected, Turalyona quickly found her way into the military of the Kingdom of Stormwind, eager to reconnect with her homeland and prove herself worthy of her father's bloodline. Her primary deployment was to Pandaria as an infantrywoman with the Third Regiment. She was honourably discharged after she married and became pregnant, and she retired to the Duchy of Westridge with her family and began training in the legal profession. She has since returned to service as a member of the Judge Advocate General Corps, with an eye towards continuing to serve her kingdom, even with her responsibilities at home.

## Description

With bright red hair, sharp facial features, and steely eyes the color of the sea, this woman continues to command attention, as one would expect of her namesake, even as she reaches the end of the springtime of her life. She keeps her fiery hair short, never letting it fall below her shoulders and often keeping it cropped in a more masculine military style. Her physique is that of a common soldier, well-muscled but lanky, lacking the bulk of a proper, well-bred knight; her years in retirement, however, have left her body softer than she remembered. Despite this, she still presents a confident, stoic visage, and the sharp, condemning crack of her voice, honed by war, the law, and parenthood, still demands the respect she is due.

Lore

**The First Regiment** employs a great deal of fan-fiction in its role-play, expanding upon what official lore is available and writing our own place into Azeroth's history. While we do not expect anyone outside of our guild to acknowledge our fan-fiction, members of the First Regiment are generally expected to try and incorporate our lore into their characters' histories and stories.

Any and all relevant lore will be posted below in appropriate categories. Most of the lore is represented in a generic form, but a lot of content also comes in the form of actual documents and texts that can be treated as such in-character! If you would like your own work to be considered for the "official" listing of lore, our officers would be happy to help you.

#### Books and Documents

Our collection of books and manuals relevant to our guild. Most of the content is written by our own players, but various bits have been contributed by talented players in other guilds or sourced from external material.

**Summary:**

Today we escorted supplies to Ebonstone in Duskwood. Upon barely entering the region, we noted a heaving presence of hostility. We assume that the reported lich in the area had something to do with it.

Our caravan came under a focused attack as we got nearer to Ebonstone. We fended them off, and many soldiers heroically defended the supplies intended for the destination. The lich manifest itself before long, and with the aid of our mages, we stopped it, and killed it -- the corporeal form, at least.

Commendable effort by:

• LT Aurelious in defending the relief supplies with his blood.

• CPT Witherseed in combating the magic and gravely wounding the lich.

• CPL Doitani in similar mastery of magic to daze the lich for dispatching.

• BCPL Becker in crushing a lich with her hound.

We will be tracking the lich's phylactery and following up on that if possible. A majority of the supplies have been delivered, with some being damaged.

Sadly, these following soldiers have been killed in action:

<Among the list of 13 casualties is Norbert Barker>

Hillbrook

As the name might imply, the Barony of Hillbrook lacks the flat expanses of Rivenland. Instead, rolling hills and gentle slopes dotted with small clusters of trees and bush are the more common sight. Partitioned and bordered with fences, these large open fields are in fact pastures for livestock. Without the constant agriculture, these fields tend to remain lush with thick grass and wildflowers. Climate is much the same as elsewhere in Mirwood, leaving Hillbrook just as idyllic as otherwise. It is however, quieter. It is ruled by House Courland.

Caledon is the center of commerce for Hillbrook. The town is fairly spread out, though densely developed closer to the center. Caledon is a remarkably martial town for Mirwood owing largely to the lords that live nearby, producing some of the finest knights and armsmen to be found in Westridge. Jousting tilts, stables, blacksmiths, and arenas are a common sight in town. The Westridge Jousting Tournament is hosted annually in Caledon as well, as well as many lesser championship and elimination rounds.

Just outside Caledon sits the massive Woodfort, an imposing structure of blackened ironwood spires. Avoiding the size limitations placed by the Duke on stone structures, it narrowly dodges the prohibition by consisting almost entirely of wood instead. Blackened and enchanted for strength and fire resistance, built around a central stone ‘core’, the Woodfort is the tallest and largest contiguous structure in Westridge made of that material. The four story mansion and surrounding buildings are home to the entirely of House Courland, along with their horses and servants.

The town of Aguillac is a fairly cookie-cutter town in much the same vein as Caledon, though smaller. Known for its horses and knights, Aguillac is a fairly pleasant settlement that is both responsible and honorable. Surrounded by yet more pastures, there is not much significant to note here, and were it not for its population, might not even be noted on the map.

Montillon is a town built around the ruins of a sacked and burnt out keep. Due to the ban, the keep has never been rebuilt. Inhabited only by pests such as bats and rodents, the keep is avoided by the townspeople and regarded a dangerous place of ill repute. Despite the ruin of a castle looming over their heads, the people of Montillon are nonetheless a pleasant and prosperous lot. Like the rest of Hillbrook’s towns, it is surrounded by still more fields and pastures, though the local area tend to be slightly soggier than others thanks to poor drainage.

Baste is unique among Hillbrook in that the pastures here are filled with cattle rather than horses. Producing milk and dairy products, Baste is fairly wealthy but lacks a local security force. Instead, riders from nearby Montillon and Aguillac patrol the roads in and around Baste.
Conquest of Kun-Lai

Already locked in a fierce war that spanned the continent of Pandaria, forces of the Grand Alliance and New Horde set their sights on Kun-Lai Summit. After the Lu Bian Relic, an ancient Mogu weapon, was discovered to be in Kun-Lai, the Alliance and Horde fought savagely for it - eventually leading to the Horde's defeat and the damaged relic being seized by the men and women sworn to an ambitious Lordaeronian queen-claimant.
