Uriel Derrich

* Art
* In-Game Look (Underdogs Outfit)
* In-Game Look (Watch Outfit)

Uriel Derrich (5 L.C. - 20 L.C.; undeath: 20 L.C. - ) is a Stormwindian death knight, the youngest member of House Derrich.

## Early life

Uriel was born in Moonbrook, Westfall. At age 15, he boldly journeyed north, to Lordaeron, to battle Arthas Menethil. On his way, he met, befriended and eventually fell in love with Hekadormi. The two journeyed all the way to Lordaeron together, and were ambushed by Scourge forces. Hekadormi tried to save Uriel, but he was kidnapped and taken to a Necropolis to be tortured to death.

To his misfortune, Uriel was taken to the deranged and sadistic doctor, Murtaugh Butcher.

## Earning his nickname

Murtaugh had a habit of giving his subjects nicknames relating to the torture they went through, and Uriel was no exception from this. His helmet was nailed to his skull, earning him the mocking nickname "Tacks."

## War against the Lich King

In 29 L.C., Uriel partook in the Frozen Charge. He was then sent to Silverpine Forest to eliminate the enemies of the Lich King, where he was promptly subdued and killed by a wandering Luciel Ambrose - whom he attacked in a blind rage - who then raised him into undeath once again, breaking the Lich King's control over him and freeing him from the power of domination.

Uriel was the sixth undead recruit of The Watch.

## Personality

Before being killed and raised as an undead, his personality was that of an energetic, animate, if somewhat cocky and arrogant young boy who sought to prove to his father that despite being the youngest amongst his brothers, he is the most able and strongest, aiming to bring home the head of the Lich King himself. The years of torture and his eventual death and undeath turned his mentality into a calmer, more mature and realistic, albeit colder and somewhat more tacitum and restrained one. Since he owes his freedom to Luciel - whom he and the Seven (with the obvious exception of Hekadormi) only call "boss" -, he is eager to do anything for him or his family. Death had no effect on his humour however - he pokes fun of, teases and badgers those close to him. Although he usually opts to stay silent and keep a mysterious aura about him, when he does open his mouth, what he says is either deeply insightful or hilarious.

## Trivia

The Seven are representative of the seven deadly sins. Uriel embodies pride.

Communion-Stone

Communion-Stones (jokingly named InterPebbles by Jaime Sootleaf, a playful portmanteau of the words 'interpreter' and 'pebble') are objects tenebrim may choose to create at will. They are small, red and black palm-sized stone tablets, which appear to be covered in extremely complex interlocking carved patterns. They are flesh-like in nature, consistently warm to the touch and appear to be ever so slightly pulsating. Their function is to enable non-Ys'thriss lifeforms to remotely commune with the creator of the Communion-Stone in question by linking the mind of the user and the creator together directly. Exarch Vicaaryna owns one of these stones, made by Pe'phriem.

Mandrake

Master tormentor (self-proclaimed, during his Scourge servitude)

Professor Mandrake (-7 L.C. - 20 L.C.; undeath: 20 L.C. - 34 L.C.) is a Forsaken doctor. He is responsible for the reanimation of the corpse of Ilyana Clayden.

## Early life

Born Murtaugh Butcher in -7 L.C. in Southshore, Mandrake was always a quiet, reclusive child. His parents forced him to spend all of his free time studying, virtually robbing him of his childhood years.

He graduated top of his class at the Lordaeron Academy in 15 L.C.

He wrote his dissertation about human anatomy and the effects of different poisons on tissue.

## The Third War; death

Murtaugh was killed by ghouls, then promptly reanimated by necromancers of the Scourge.

With his death, he lost some memories and most of his sanity. He retained his knowledge of anatomy and alchemy though.

This was of great use for the Lich King, who put Murtaugh to use in his plague laboratories.

He took great enjoyment in tormenting would-be death knights in various violent and inhumane ways, then giving them mocking and degrading nicknames based on the torture they went through. His subjects were the ones sent on the Frozen Charge.

## The Dark Times; becoming a Forsaken

Murtaugh was freed from the will of the Lich King and assumed the name "Mandrake".

He joined the Royal Apothecary Society.

## Cataclysm

Unbeknownst even to the Dark Lady, Mandrake performed heinous acts in his private lab in the Undercity.

The aim of his experiments was to figure out how much blight a body can take before rupturing, and how far organisms can mutate. He perfected a serum that would turn a dead body into a highly unpredictable eldritch abomination, which was capable of spreading this affliction to others.

Mandrake's patient zero of choice was the corpse of Ilyana Clayden.

The project was shut down by the dark rangers, but Ilyana herself managed to escape the facility, and was eventually slain by her grieving widower.

Mandrake was exiled from the city disappeared for the time being.

Since Sylvanas had already made a deal with the Jailer at the time, it is fairly obvious that Mandrake wasn't exiled because his plans would give the Forsaken an even worse reputation (considering that the Wrathgate coup was still fresh at the time), no matter how much Sylvanas claimed so, but because she was well aware that Mandrake's allegiance to her wasn't as strong as he made it seem; Sylvanas was convinced he was actually bulding an army of his own and planning a takeover. In actuality, Mandrake just wanted anarchy and entropy.

## Personality

Constantly shifting from cheerful to maniacal to unreasonably angry, Mandrake is an extremely uncomfortable person to be around.

Mandrake sometimes has episodes where he relives his lost childhood, becoming infantile and childlike in nature.
Tairynys

Madfallod (Lizardfolk)

Tairynys /tai̯rˈənɨ̞s/, officially known as the Confederation of Tairynys (Tairynian: Cydffederasiwn Tairynys) and known as Threeisles or Three Isles to the outside world, is an uncharted island group on Azeroth, south of Pandaria.

## History

Founded roughly 3000 years before the Sundering, Tairynys - then called Mamwlad, or "Homeland" - is amongst the most ancient - and most well-concealed - of the human kingdoms.

The cradle of Tairynian civilization was Ymerodraeth Hynafol y Dwyrain - then called Adref, or "Home" - which is still one of the most powerful cities to this day. Adref was founded in around 13.000 L.C.

The Werdian tribe, being the most ancient of them all, hailed from Adref.

Tairynian people later spread out and explored the continent further, forming the Crefftwr ("Craftsman", later Cyseinian) and Metelegydd ("Metallurgist", later Rhuddgochian) tribes, who founded Ynys Cyseinio (then named Craidd Grisial, or "Crystal Core") and Ynys Rhuddgoch (then named Calon Tân, or "Heart of Fire"), respectively.

After The Great Sundering shattered Kalimdor, Tairynys drifted southwards, becoming a small, secluded island group in the southern hemisphere.

Prifddinas ("Capital City") was founded by the three tribes, reuniting the nation for good.

Tairynys was discovered by members of the guild Last Heroes of Lordaeron in 33 L.C.

## Geography

Tairynys consists of three islands.

* Ynys Cyseinio (known as Resonance Isle to the outside world) is a crystalline island, littered with towering spires of gemstone.
	+ Capital: Gogoniant y Gorllewin ("Glory of the West")
* Ynys Rhuddgoch (known as Crimson Isle to the outside world) is a volcanic island of fire and cinder.
	+ Capital: Cryfder y Gogledd ("Might of the North")
* Ynys Berlog Werdd (known as Greenpearl Isle to the outside world) is an island dominated by a lush green jungle.
	+ Capital: Ymerodraeth Hynafol y Dwyrain ("Ancient Empire of the East")
* Prifddinas (Capital City) floats above water between the three islands.

## Architecture

   Tairynian architecture relies heavily on polygons; each city has a unique and distinctive polygonal layout.

## Fauna

* Cinderfish
* Flame Hyppogryphs

### Ynys Berlog Werd

Heraldry rules

Here are some rules and guidelines about creating new coats of arms, crests, emblems and insignias to expand the lore. Nothing is set in stone, but to keep things consistent and uniform, one should keep in mind the following:

* We use worldspinner.com's Heraldry Artist tool (deprecated)
* Alternately, guild crests can be created through this editor (deprecated), but when done in Worldspinner's Heraldry Artist, guild crests have a single background colour and one icon.
* Family crests may have up to three background colours and up to two different icons. These icons preferably represent the families defining attributes/skills and/or name.
* Families whose bloodlines run together may sometimes use combined coats of arms.
* Organizations may follow the family crest rules or have custom crests.
The Watch

*Not to be confused with the Order of the Watchers.*

The Watch is an underground organization of - mostly - undead mercenaries who serve Luciel Ambrose. In 33 L.C., it merged into the Underdogs.

Their base of operations was a galleon named *Miasma,* before it crashed near the Broken Shore.

Last Heroes of Lordaeron

Nathaniel Clayden

Human

Night Elf

Worgen

Last Heroes of Lordaeron was a guild founded in 33 L.C. Its main goal was to assemble the lost children of Azeroth and beyond (including the citizens of the original Seven Kingdoms) and to aid the Grand Alliance in their skirmishes by providing manpower, armor, weapons and rations.

Despite using the coat of arms as house Menethil on the guild's flag, the guild's name alluded to the Alliance of Lordaeron, not the kingdom of Lordaeron itself.

## Brief history

### Founding

Last Heroes of Lordaeron was founded in 33 L.C. by Nathaniel Clayden of Sanctuary, Dalyon Dalfel, and Francine Velours in Tirisfal Glades.

LHOL later signed a treaty of alliance with Operation: Westraven and Talah Thera.

Members of the guild started reaching out to their friends and contacts, and soon, the guild had allies in most Alliance and neutral factions.

### Civil war and disestablishment

In the summer of 33 L.C., Francine Velours staged a coup, seized control of the guild vault, and convinced many of the guild's members to turn against Nathaniel. The ones that followed Francine left with her and disappeared without a trace, while those loyal to Nathaniel founded the Vanguard. Thus, the guild fractured and ceased to exist as a whole.

Testos-Tyrone

**Testos-Tyrone** is a testosterone distributor, bodybuilder, and white man with a very deep voice.

## Early Life

Tyrone Munch, also known as Testos-Tyrone, is a small-time lackey with some big-time muscles. He was born on August 12th, 1982, in his home in Wompton, California. His father Hunter was a plumber and his mother Gunny was a gymnast.

Growing up in a dangerous neighborhood forced Tyrone to turn to drugs. Starting at age 8, he would sneak his mother's training testosterone to give him an edge. By age 11, he was snorting protein powder, and by age 15, he was running an underground drug ring, bringing testosterone that was not being sold in Compton into his town.

His father wanted him to pursue plumbing and take over the family business, but Tyrone was too deep in his own shit to focus on anything other than his own drug train.

## Career

In December of 1999, Tyrone was taking advantage of the Y2K scare. He was gouging the price of testosterone which was selling quickly because people were preparing for total chaos when all the computers would stop working. His suppliers got wind of his ridiculous profits and wanted a cut of the profits. Problem was, Tyrone had already spent the cash on a down payment for a gym so that he could have a front for his drug supply. His supplier was getting angry and threatened to cut off his supply if he did not pay $20,000 cash by December 30th.

Tyrone headed to a bank to take out a loan of $20,000. While he was there he hit it off with the teller and asked her out on a date. Her name was Gennifer Luntesse. They headed to a local diner where Tyrone instantly began to feel a deep personal connection to her. The topic of money came up, and she asked him why he took out the loan. Tyrone explained truthfully what was going on because he was scared that his business would fail and he would have to become a plumber. Gennifer was empathetic towards Tyrone and claimed she could get him the $20,000 without him having to take out the loan.

The next day, Tyrone went back to the bank, canceled his loan, and met Gennifer behind the bank for the $20,000. Tyrone paid his supplier and business was back on track.

In March of 2001, with the help of his girlfriend Gen, Tyrone opened Ess & Tess Gymnasium. They marketed themselves as Testos-Tyrone, and Estero-Gen, super swole superhumans with amazing bodies and muscles. They used these personalities to promote their business.

## Personal Life

On May 25th, 2004, Tyrone married Gennifer Luntesse in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Their son, Toblerone, was born on February 15th, 2010. On November 27th, 2024, Toblerone came out as a transgender male. Tyler and Gennifer were supportive, and loved that they could give their son testosterone.

## Casualties/losses

Mavis Amberhawk Deuteros

Massive

## Premise

In 36 L.C., a portal, leading to the Legion-controlled world of Sydvar has opened over Elwynn Forest. Exarch Caliestes asked her fellow exarch and friend Vicaaryna to assemble a team to close said portal.

Vicaaryna asked her niece Eserill for help, who gave her three volunteers (Béatha Copperlocks, Tristan Hastings and the freshly-voidforged Mavis Amberhawk). Nathaniel Clayden also offered two of his fresh graduates (Joshua Parker and Morwynn Bright) but Vicaaryna politely declined as they were in her opinion way too inexperienced and flippant for such a mission. She eventually recruited the former vindicator of the Army of the Light, Deuteros and joined the exarch on Sydvar.

* Tristan broke his shield arm
* Béatha suffered a concussion
* The others only suffered minor scrapes

## Aftermath

Vicaaryna, believing she had gotten rid of Deuteros, left through the collapsing portal. Before she escaped, though, Deuteros stole a Legion ship and followed her, swearing vengeance against the exarch.

The founding and history of Last Heroes of Lordaeron

## The founding (33 L.C.)

In the year 33 L.C., three adventurers met in Tirisfal Glades, Lordaeron. Dalyon Dalfel seeked solace from the world's unfairness; Nathaniel Clayden was searching for lost souls in need of rescue, and Francine Velours was on a business trip.

The three met on the bank of the lake in the Whispering Forest. It was Dalyon who suggested forming a guild for the good of the Alliance. The guild was named Last Heroes of Lordaeron, a somber reminder of the Alliance of Lordaeron, and of those who still held within them the tenacity to fight for what remains of this world.

Nathaniel immediately agreed to the mage's proposal and swore to turn the wealth, resources and manpower he's amassed from King Varian Wrynn's funding of Sanctuary towards aiding this unity, and assured the others that should they proceed with the founding of said guild, they will receive further Stormwindian support.

Francine promised her wealthy and influential family's help by shipping supplies and exotic goods to the guild through Kul Tiras.

(Real-life anniversary: 24th of January, 2019)

## Alliances; involvement of Operation: Westraven (33 L.C.)

Nathaniel sent word to his allies and friends, such as Percival Argius, who agreed to act as a liaison between the Argent Crusade and LHOL.

Dalyon sent a missive to Qvendar Al'ganor of Operation: Westraven and convinced him to ally his group with Last Heroes of Lordaeron, which he did, and promised to keep LHOL informed about the Horde's actions while also bolstering the guild's ranks with the newly formed Winterspring Garrison.

In return, the guild sent rations, money and men to aid Westraven's southward expansion. Soon, the Ashenvale/Stonetalon outpost was founded.

## Civil war and fracture (Summer of 33 L.C.)

In the summer of 33 L.C., Francine Velours staged a coup, seized control of the guild vault, and convinced many of the guild's members to turn against Nathaniel. The ones that followed Francine formed their own guild, while those loyal to Nathaniel stayed behind to form the Vanguard. Thus, merely half a year after the founding, the guild fractured and ceased to exist as a whole.

 Disappearence

When the Cataclysm struck Azeroth in 30 L.C., Benjamin, alongside the Desolace division had to face an entirely different menace. They fought valiantly against a massive stampede of rampaging centaurs, driven insane by a maddening whisper, but they were ultimately no match for the endless waves of savages. Benjamin himself was the sole survivor, having been knocked unconscious and presumed dead. He was then carried to Orgrimmar and forced to compete in gladiatorial combat.

Born on Kezan, Gibson is an inventor who lives only for his craft, and thus was very quickly disillusioned with the profit-oriented approach of the Bilgewater Cartel. After Deathwing destroyed most of the island, he left for Kalimdor to begin a new life.

## Trivia

His father, Ed, owned a chop shop on Kezan, named "Eddy's Skrap" (the intentional typo was a marketing ploy, designed to make the name stand out).

## Biography

### Pre-game

Lee was born in Ashberry Township, Michigan, the third child of Alexander III and Rebecca. He and his twin sister are biologically identical twins, meaning that one of the two is transgender, although the player never discovers which twin it is.

Lee was always aware that a majority of his ancestors and other relatives met early deaths but his father, in an attempt to avoid burdening his kids (and in a bit of misguided mind-over-matter), didn't tell them the story of the family curse since Alex himself didn't take it seriously.

Lee isn't very social and has few friends aside from Alicia. He seldom speaks and relies on Alicia to talk for him. He has a passion for drawing, however, and fills up sketchbooks in his spare time.

When he was ten, he found a cat in a patch of pennyroyal outside the Ashberry Industries factory. He gave the cat a bit of his sandwich and the cat ended up following him home. His parents let him keep the cat and Lee named him Pennyroyal, or PR for short. While PR likes everyone in the Ashberry family, he's still very much Lee's cat.

### In-game

#### **2003**

On September 18 shortly before midnight, Lee, his sister, and his parents are disturbed by a knock on the front door. Sheriff McKenna is at the door and she tells them that Lex has died in what seems to be a car crash. The family accompanies her to the hospital morgue. Although the sheriff initially discourages Alexander and Rebecca from bringing Lee and Alicia, Alicia demands to be allowed to go and Rebecca agrees.

While there, Lee reaches out to touch Lex's forehead and finds himself in the high school portion of his school, in front of Lex's locker. He goes through Lex's locker and explores various classrooms, other rooms, and lastly, Lex's Jeep, until he finally gathers enough fragments of Lex's memories and unlocks the final memory of his death. After reliving Lex's death, he realizes that it wasn't just a simple crash that killed Lex, but a supernatural entity that snapped his neck and caused him to crash.

When he regains consciousness, he decides not to tell his family since he's not sure they'll believe him.

Wulfric Highsoar

Wulfric Highsoar (codename: "Grouse") (-11 L.C. - ?) was an Alteraci rogue, the brother of Theodoric Highsoar and a member of Operation: Westraven.

 Operation: Westraven

During the interlude between the second and third wars, in the year 6 L.C., Wulfric was found by the rogues of Ravenholdt Manor. He received proper rogue training there. He received the codename "Grouse" for his seemingly endless energy and vitality.

As a member of Operation: Westraven's Winterspring Division, Daniel was tasked with travelling to the land of Kalimdor and exploring it.

The goal of Ravenholdt was to build a spy network across Kalimdor.

## Wrath of the Lich King

Wulfric was part of the Northrend Expedition sent to the frozen land of Northrend to uncover the secrets of Ulduar. He, along with the rest of the Expedition later joined the Argent Crusade and fought against the Lich King. He went missing in 29 L.C.
Argius Carriages Inc.

Argius Carriages Inc. was a Gilnean carriage manufactory established by Balthazar Argius in -32 L.C.

The company designed the carriages seen in Gilneas amongst other things.

Argius Carriages Inc. was among the first companies to get in contact with gnomish engineers.

## Rivalry and partnership

With the start of the Second War in 4 L.C., demands for more advanced military technology skyrocketed. Argius Carriages Inc. found itself in a rivalry with Clayden Rifles, a company that formerly specialized in gunsmithing, but started designing war machine prototypes.

The two manufactories later set aside their differences, and continued working together with gnomes to perfect Alliance war machines, such as Steam Tanks. Truly devoted to their craft, the two engineers snuck out their blueprints through the Greymane Wall via airmail.

With the fall of Gilneas in 30 L.C., both companies went defunct.

## Legacy

Some still credit Balthazar Argius as a major contributor to the original Gyrocopter design.
Roe deer

Roe deer are Ymmyes of the Cervidae family.

## Biology

Roe deer are sentient animals (Ymmyes) of the Cervidae family and part of the Capreolus genus.

## Appearance

Roe deer appear generally like other deer: with short brown coats. As fawns, their coats have white speckles on them. Their tails are very short and their hindquarters distinctly white or cream. They may sprout antlers with up to six tines, usually the males.

## Range

Roe deer appear to live in forests and plains of Rentrenarriay and Cevis.

## Behavior and diet

Roe deer are extremely stress-prone and therefore not often in positions that put them under a lot of anxiety.

Roe deer are usually not very herd-oriented, but there may be some that join a Stag Herd of other species for safety reasons. Non-males and fawns are more likely to be in a herd, though.

Roe deer are herbivorous and are browsers.

## Abilities

Deer can use their agility to run fast and make quick turns or jump over high obstacles. They can also use their hooves to kick and their antlers to fight.

## Aging

Roe deer age similar to Men and other Ymmyes, with them living up to approximately 80 years of age.

## Naming conventions

Like all deer, roe deer tend to be named after trees or other plants.
Blades

"Blade" was the name given to initiates of Operation: Westraven who would become rogues if Ravenholdt saw fit. If not, they were to undergo 2 to 3 more years of training to decide their fate.

After becoming a Member, rogue or otherwise, they would be given a codename, usually a bird name.

If an initiate stayed a Blade until the trip to Kalimdor, they were officially sent to help the Members as a reinforcements/resupply/backup team, but Ravenholdt officials were well aware that most of them would end up as cannon fodder.

## Prerequisites

* 1-year membership and training
* Not being associated with any class or role

## List of Blades

* Benjamin Cinderflight (became a warrior)
Erhand

* In-Game Look (Luciel Ambrose)
* In-Game Look (Asmodeus Ambrose)
* True Form

Eseridormi (15 L.C. - )

Ny'thara ("sister")

X'zarakh ("brother")

Erhand is the true name one of the two tenebrim that Ys'thriss sent hurling through the Great Dark Beyond after being attacked by the Burning Legion, the one embodying his wish to know the reason behind the attack. After drifting through space for untold eons, he got to Azeroth sometime after the Sundering, disguising himself as various races of the planet throughout his time spent there.

He eventually met Nyx, whom he fell in love with it. They traveled through Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms together, and briefly lived in Gilneas around the year -151 L.C., where they had a mansion built. Their first child, Alectrodormi, was born in 0 L.C., while they were visiting Quel'Thalas. They had their second child, Hekadormi, in 5 L.C., then, when the family got bored of the elven, human and dwarven kingdoms, they secretly hitched a ride on the back of Shen-zin Su and moved to Pandaria, where they their third child, Eseridormi.

When Eserill was but five years old, Nyx had them promptly moving back to Gilneas to rescue Hekadormi from the Lich King. They continued to live in Gilneas all the way until the Cataclysm.

## Aliases

As Tenebrim are seemingly either immortal, or at the very least have impossibly long lifespan, in order to avoid raising suspicion, Erhand disappears from time to time, changes his appearance slightly, and reappears a few years later under a different alias.

* Asmodeus Ambrose (? - -102 L.C.) - a mysterious elf who had a mansion built in Gilneas.
* Sathannis LaVey (-102 L.C. - -53 L.C.) - a Dalaranian scholar.
* Beels Crimsoncrest (-53 L.C. - -44 L.C.) - a Stromic costerman.
* Belphé Cooper (-44 L.C. - 37 L.C.) - a Tirasian drifter.
* Levy Stevenson (-37 L.C. - -12 L.C) - a Stormwindian fisherman.
* Mammone van Leedendorp (-12 L.C. - 0 L.C.) - an Alteraci investor.
* **Luciel Ambrose (0 L.C - ) - the quel'dorei descendant of Asmodeus and heir to Ambrose Manor.**
* Long Blackpaw (? - ?) - a pandaren brewmaster.

Fearing for the safety of his family, Erhand founded The Watch in 20 L.C.

## Trivia

His human and elven aliases' names allude to names of powerful demons in Christian demonology.

Erhand was widely renowned for his abundant knowledge of the nature of things, as he spent a huge chunk of his life studying.

1. ↑ "Luciel" is a high elf, while "Asmodeus" is a night elf. "Luciel" claimed to be of mixed heritage when asked about his relation to "Asmodeus". The Gilnean guards were initially skeptical, but when Erhand began relaying information only he could have possibly known, they budged.
2. ↑ Erhand uses "Luciel" and 'Long" interchangeably. He uses "Luciel" formally and "Long" when travelling through Pandaria.
Terra

Terra is a Dark horse.

## Description

Terra was a mother to a duo of foals that were killed as adults for opposing Lord Gath's forces, and then resurrected to serve as steeds for them. This horrified Terra, now seeing the Undead bodies of her foals serve a cause so evil. So, she took matters into her own hooves and, together with a few others, founded the Dark Rebellion. She's currently still one of its commanders and acts as a maternal figure to a lot of orphaned young ones staying with the Rebels. She may sometimes be a bit harsh or short-tempered, but she always means well. She herself is extremely afraid to go into battle, because she might see her foals as Risen Ones again, and have to fight them.

Naaredin

* Art
* In-Game Look

Naaredin is a draenei slave turned shaman, rescued by the humans of Mahuun.

## Biography

Taken to Azeroth in 0 L.C., during the first orcish invasion, Naaredin was a slave to a raiding party belonging to the Warsong clan, led by Dragdan Bloodletter, who used him for manual labour, setting up their tents and chopping wood for the war effort. He took the insults and threats thrown at his head by his masters surpsisingly calmly, responding in a gentle, polite voice that either made the ones insulting him extremely angry or surprised at the fact that the draenei doesn't even raise his voice as retaliation.

The reason for this was his belief in fate, that the aggressors will eventually get their punishment.

He began experimenting with elemental magic when his masters weren't looking, and he learned how to make water and eventually even smaller rocks move with his will alone.

## The Third War

In 20 L.C., Naaredin was taken to Kalimdor on a ship alongside the raiding party. He decided this is his cue to escape, and sat down in the rear of the ship, closed his eyes, and began channeling a spell. The orcs only saw him sitting there, smiling mysteriously, which angered them greatly. Eventually, a violent tempest took the ship way off course, killing many crewmen. The damaged and almost useless ship drifted ashore on the island of Mahuun, with the orcs believing it to be Kalimdor. They set up a makeshift camp and were greeted cheerfully by the locals, whom they slaughtered some of, angering them. The orcs, along with Naaredin were led to the main square of Raj'math, where Emir Sarrhakeen attempted to talk some sense into them one last time, but they broke free and attemted to kill the guards surrounding them. Naaredin saw his chance to prove himself to be different than the rest and summoned fireballs, hitting one orc after another. After the last of them fell, Sarrhakeen personally congratulated the draenei and named him Naaredin, or "Fire-rain" in the Mahuuni tongue.

## Farewell, Mahuun - ahoy, pirates

Naaredin acquainted himself with the local culture and language, and became a honorary Mahuuni resident. After a few years, however, he began feeling homesick. He told the Emir about this in late 29 L.C,, to which Sarrhakeen offered him a place on one of the trading ships named *Ann'hara* headed for Teldrassil. On the way there, the ship was intercepted by Anaya Wildcloud and the Dread Siren Crew. The crew of the *Ann'hara* attempted to negotiate with her, Naaredin telling Anaya that he will voluntarily help her, since her cause is noble. After bidding farewell to the Mahuuni crewmen, the two set sail aboard *The Damsel of Distress* to Northrend.

## Personality

Peaceful, calm and always optimistic, Naaredin is the embodiment of a gentle giant. Nobody has ever seen him upset or even the slightest bit angry, which stems in his strong beliefs and inner peace.
