Greymane Wall

The **Greymane Wall** was erected after the Second War, by Genn Greymane, as the Kingdom of Gilneas isolated itself from the Alliance due to a dispute surrounding the internment camps for the orcs. It is a large wall spanning from the mountains to the shore, located at the southern edge of the Silverpine Forest (near Pyrewood Village) and the northern edge of Gilneas, a region formerly known as Nambitus. The Wall it's self began construction the same year as the Second War ended, though it did not complete construction until 1135 F.A.. During this time, a strong border patrol was established to stand in for the wall, resulting in leaving or entering Gilneas near impossible.

This enormous gray wall marks the boundary between Gilneas and Lordaeron. It once kept the lands of Gilneas safe from invaders, but was destroyed following the second shattering. Those on the other side in Gilneas have been spared from the Plague, though the worgen curse has taken affect instead.

The controversial Greymane Wall sowed civil discord in Gilneas, eventually leading to the Northgate rebellion, a devastating civil war that nearly destroyed the kingdom.

Though Genn Greymane was able to put down the dissenters with the apprehension of the rebellion's leader, Darius Crowley, the kingdom began to experience other troubles in the form of the Worgen and later the Forsaken.
Argent Dawn

**Secondary Leaders**
 **Base of Operations**
 **Status**

Before the war against the Lich King, the **Argent Dawn** was a lawful good organization focused on protecting Azeroth from agencies that seek to destroy it, such as the Burning Legion and the Scourge. Base camps of the Argent Dawn could be found in the Eastern and Western Plaguelands as well as in Tirisfal Glades.

After the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel, Tirion Fordring merged the Argent Dawn with the Knights of the Silver Hand, creating the Argent Crusade. Following the Great Cataclysm of 623KY, the Argent Crusade took over the now-defunct Argent Dawn's outposts in the Plaguelands, effectively swallowing it.

## History

After the death of Alexandros Mograine, his crusaders became more zealous and fanatic. However, there were those who believed that their comrades had fallen from their once-noble purpose, and left to form their own order, the Argent Dawn. Those that remained formally named themselves the Scarlet Crusade.

While they shared the same goals as the Scarlet Crusade, the Argent Dawn opened its ranks to not only other Alliance races, but also members of the Horde and even some of the Forsaken if they proved themselves to be good, and were no longer loyal to Sylvanas Windrunner. They cautioned discretion and introspection, and put a lot of emphasis on researching the Scourge and how to combat them.

With time, the Argent Dawn grew diversified. A subfaction of the Argent Dawn, the *Brotherhood of the Light*, worked to keep relations between Argent Dawn and Scarlet Crusade from growing violent.

Despite their influence, the Argent Dawn did not have the manpower of the Scarlet Crusade, and could not stand alone against the Scourge. As such, the Argent Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade formed an uneasy alliance in order to focus their combined strength against Kel'Thuzad's forces in the Plaguelands.

## The Argent Crusade

After the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel, Tirion Fordring caled for a union between his Order of the Silver Hand and the Argent Dawn. From that day forward, the Argent Dawn was merged with Fordring's reformed Silver Hand and thus, the Argent Crusade was formed. The Argent Dawn no longer exists as a separate faction.
Gwen Greymane II

**Race**
 **Birth**
 **Titles**
 **Affiliations**
 **Family**
Sebastian Greymane I, father
Cynthia Woolsworth, mother
Tristan Greymane I, son
Teran Greymane, son
Bashel Thort, first husband
 **Status**

Queen **Gwendolen Greymane II** (187 F.A. - 273 F.A.) was a ruler of the Kingdom of Gilneas. Born to Sebastian I and Cynthia Woolsworth, Gwen was the child of a loveless marriage. At the age of 13, Sebastian was murdered by her mother and her mother was later executed for regicide, leaving her without her parents. She was subject at an early age to shifting regents, the first leaving her traumatized after attempting to assassinate her. Her later regents were more caring, with the second dying in an accident and the third later becoming her most trusted adviser in her later rule.

A shrewd politician and a woman of guile and intellect, Gwen brutally seized the lands lost to the House of Groatsworth after their defection following the First Gilnean-Lordaeronian Border War. Without mercy, the entire family was put to the sword and replaced with more loyal subjects, aggravating the Kingdom of Lordaeron whom the Groatsworths defected to. Rather than start a second war, Gwen sanctioned the creation of the White Raven Privateers, pirates loyal to Gilneas. These privateers harassed Lordaeron's northern shores before finally capturing Princess Talia Menethil and bringing her back to Gilneas as a political hostage. Through them, war was averted. Rather than mistreat the princess, Gwen made Talia into an ally (and reportedly lover at one point), and sent her back to Lordaeron following Gwen's controversial marriage to Bashel Thort, leader of the White Ravens (thus granting her the monicker, the Sea Queen.).

Gwen mothered two sons, her successor Tristan Greymane I, her son of Bashel, and Teran Greymane, her son of her second husband Heinrich Cobalstant. She passed away in her sleep at the age of 86, having left a lasting impression on the kingdom.
Fort Gaelik

**Location**
 **Affiliation**
 **Status**

**Fort Gaelik** was a city located in the southeastern part of the Ashen Coast of Gilneas known as the Barony of Edenford. It was founded a few decades after the War of Silverpine in honor of the fallen warrior, Lord Commander Gaelik Chester. It was additionally the base of operations for the region's military forces. During the Invasion of Gilneas, the regiment managed to hold out against the initial Forsaken assault, but was destroyed when orcish reinforcements arrived. It remains in ruins in the present day.
Ley Line

File:LeyLine.jpg
A**Ley-Line**is a current of Arcane Magic of great magical power. Ley-lines encircle all of Azeroth like veins and come in many different sizes and various degrees of power. Ley-Lines can be mapped and measured by several methods. The Arcanomicon is a map of all the ley lines on Azeroth. Places where two or more ley-lines cross are known as a ley-line nexus, and are often visible in nature as places of great power. All ley-lines on Azeroth converge to a single Nexus upon which the tower of Karazhan stands.

## Overview

Every culture recognizes the ley-lines in some fashion. Many ley-line scholars feel that ley-lines were a major factor in deciding which place are sacred to the worshippers of the Light and where to place moonwells. Many put great importance on the places where ley lines meet, known as a ley-line nexus. Dalaran and Silvermoon City were both constructed on massive ley-line nexus'. Despite the importance people put on the convergence of ley-lines, any ley walker will tell you that the patterns made by the ley lines are just as important. They are known as runes and are an important part of magic.
Eastvale Logging Camp

**Eastvale Logging Camp**is located within the County of Eastvale, in the far east part of Elwynn Forest, near the border with Redridge Mountains. Due to the camps location on the outskirts of the forest, wild animals have become a problem and are known to enter the camp and cause trouble. The guards deal with stray bears and wolves as an almost daily occurance. The camp is overseen by Marshal McCree, who commands the guards in the camp as well as the guards in Ridgepoint Tower to the south of the camp. The camp was overrun by orcs in the First War and was used by them to fuel their war efforts until it was retaken during the Second War.

## Economy

Eastvale is known primarily for it's lumbermill as it supplies much of the Kingdom of Stormwind with the lumber needed for construction. Eastvale lumber is used extensively by the Stormwind Navy to build its fleet of warships and airships. The camp is also known for its stables, which have been run by the Hunter family for generations. Eastvale bred horses are said to be some of the strongest work horses in the kingdom. The Eastvale horses are often used by the Stormwind Army to pull wagons of supplies into war zones as they are not easily spooked.
House of Haven

The **House of Haven** is a newly formed noble house whose blood finds its roots in the now defunct Kingdom of Lordaeron. After numerous years of excellent and consistent service from the Haven sisters, Idrya Haven was made a knight of The Range. Alongside her, Adaliene Haven became an accomplished mage of the Order of the Raven while Briana Haven, the Giantslayer, became second in command of the Arbor Wardens and a knight in her own right. The family's persistence to excellence would later see Idrya rewarded, as once the House of Darkwater died out, Idrya was made the new Baroness, thus beginning their landed line.

The House of Haven is still relatively new to lordship, though the Haven sisters have made a fair name for themselves during their service to both the Duchy of the Ashen Coast and the Blades of Greymane. As a result, Idrya's appointment came as a shock to few in actual power and the common folk have only heard good of her deeds thus far.

 File:Brianacrest.png
As Briana is also a knight in her own right, there is a cadet branch associated with the house. the Knightly House of Haven, under Briana, makes its home in the Reach rather than the Range and also sports Briana's personal crest.
Infernalism

**Infernalism** is a broad family of philosophies, magical disciplines, and religions focused on mastery over, submission to, or the manipulation of the 'infernal'. The exact definition of the infernal differs from sect to sect and coven to coven, but typically relates to the tainted energies known as the 'Fel' and to demonology. Other definitions of infernalism also include the Cthonic deities (also known as Old Gods), all forms of Necromancy, certain Troll Loa, and in some rare cases, even the dualistic counterpart to the Light, the Shadow.

117th Division

The 117th Division of the Grand Alliance Army (Colloquially the One-One-Seventh or One-Seventeenth) is a modular heavy assault infantry division capable of fielding the Alliance's most powerful ground assets during extended campaigns. The division also serves a secondary purpose of acting as domestic and international military police during times of unrest. Currently, the 117th is considered inactive, due to improper funding, a lack of leadership, and the indefinite retirement of Ashamal Shalah'aman from the Alliance military.

From the Stormwind Keep in Stormwind City, the division takes part in major military campaigns across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. The 117th is known for spending a considerable amount of time training their forces with experimental technologies, putting high-powered firearms, explosives, and communication devices into practical applications. While a significant portion of the division is made up of volunteers from a pool of enlisted recruits, it also draws a fraction of its forces from prison programs which offer convicts reduced sentences or their freedom in exchange for military service abroad.

The 117th is unique in that it chooses to organize its soldiers into subdivisions based on their personal traits, abilities, and beliefs, hoping that such a strategy will help create a more cohesive and synergetic training environment for its operatives.

Today, the 117th has made an effort to make amends for past controversies, since it has been implicated in several misconduct investigations related to the treatment of Horde prisoners; these accusations remain unsubstantiated in the eyes of the law.

## Origins

The division was originally founded in Darnassus by the late Fandral Staghelm, who created the force of mutli-racial Alliance soldiers with hopes that it would help secure Kaldorei interests worldwide. Control of the order was handed to Ashamal Shalah'aman, a close ally of the Archdruid Staghelm and a talented military tactician. It was known as the Might of Staghelm for a time, locked in bloody battles with the nation of Quel'thalas.

### The Firelands

The aftermath of the Firelands had shown Fandral Staghelm to be a traitor, and the order was aptly renamed the Might of Stormrage to show allegiance to the Archdruid Malfurion, recently returned from an extended absence from his seat in the Cenarion Circle.

### Stormwind City

Ashamal Shalah'aman eventually made the decision to re-organize the Might of Stormrage underneath the 117th Division, a group of Alliance legions that Ashamal had been given to command after his continued success against the Horde.

## Current Times

The 117th Division is now considered defunct due to a lack of funding, resources, and leadership. With the retirement of Ashamal Shalah'aman from the post of Grand Marshal, the 117th's future existence remains an unlikely possibility..

## Recruitment

Recruitment for the guild is currrently closed.

 **Status**

The **Gilneas City Constabulary**, also known as the **Gilneas City Police Force** or the **Gilneas City Guard**, was a branch of the Gilnean Constabulary that served as the policing force of the capital of the Kingdom of Gilneas, Gilneas City. It was officially disbanded in 1142 F.A. with the invasion of Gilneas.
House of Maine

House Maine is one of the noble families present in Ardeiria, known for their vigilance on the border to the Bull and their creation of the Vanquishers.

## History

A cousin line to the extinct House of Raeford, whom had control of Raeford's Fields and the Barony of the Iron at one point, the House of Maine have been dedicated to a vigilance against Bull-born aggressions since the Stag's conversion to the Light. While their cousins and Lords had rebelled against their rulers, House Maine refused to send troops and holed up the Iron Bastion. Nevertheless, the Raefords continued on despite their families' loyalty to their lieges, while the Maines gave open support to Ardeirian troops.

Once the rebellion was successfully quelled, most of the Barony of the Iron and all of Raeford's Fields were taken by the House of Caer to peacefully stop any more forms of dissent - which went directly against the King's orders to eliminate all remaining rebels. However, this was never truly reprimanded and, years later, the House of Maine created the Vanquishers to serve as a religious police and wardens against the Bull's forces. To reward them, the Caers returned the lands taken after their cousin's rebellion and promoted them to Barons of the Iron.

## Mentality

The Maines have no care for gold, nor executive power. Instead, their ambition lies in militant prowess, not unlike most soldiers of the Bull in some regards. While the House of Caer is known for its overabundance of honor, the Maines' experience in the darker, more true side of war have greatly eaten away at this. Theirs has become a sort of militant honor, which involved obeying Caer and - perhaps more importantly - Vaught orders. The people of the Barony of the Iron are also known for their militantism, and the implied requirement of two years of military duty having been deeply ingrained into their culture.

## The Barony of the Iron

The Barony is situated directly on the border to the Bull, while the Iron Bastion also serves as a border-check for crossing men of the Bull. Outside of deportees and Ministry, almost none of them are accepted in, as have been the requirements since the start. Named for its iron mines, it's directly split half between miners and soldiers, while only 2% have taken up farming. Due to this, they've been able to keep the status of the Stag's only true soldiers - outside of the Knights of Caer - and have one of the largest standing armies in Ardeiria. Characterized by its damp features, the Barony receives the same amount of rain as the Bull and all of the Stag's heat, causing its native hydra problem. However, these are commonly slain for sport by its soldiers.

House of Vauswen

The House of Vauswen are magically adept Barons of the Wedge and the successors of the House of Swen.

## History

Created by a bastard child of Haedric Vaught and Vaeryn Swen, the Vauswens were originally a knowledge-keeper branch of the House of Vaught. However, once the Swens showed signs of dissent after the House of Geroth were ousted from Vaughriff, Anneryn Vaught decided that the ever-loyal Vauswens would make an apt replacement. At the slightest excuse, she demanded an extermination of any Swen scum, with the exception of her brother, Haerith Vaught's, children. However, he was commanded to kill the Lady of Swen in front of her brothers as repayment. Directly after, the Vauswens, puppets of Anneryn, were placed there instead.

Due to their magical prowess, learned during Oisforth the Third's reign, they were able to repel bandits from their first day. Their methods foreign to every other family and man, including about a fourth of their populace, their magical knowledge was barely anything up until ten years before the War of Subjugation, wherein the kidnapping of mages and other wizards became much more common. This was much more potent than causing enough blizzards to eternally cause the Vaugate to be as cold as the Heron, or making the Vaught children comely and without deformities. After repelling the Warrior-Prince Ambrose Greymane 's forces, something that surprised even the House of Vaught, they were allowed to continue rebuilding the Heron's Flight as well as its walls.

In modern day, they've been mostly reclusive, due to the Heron having three protectorate regions (Bull, Vaugate, and Stag). They are normally used as diplomats, representatives, and other political roles wherein the Vaughts could not attend themselves. Although not officially sworn to House Vaught, they are loyal to Ardeiria its self, which is ruled by them, thereby making it essentially the same expectations.

## The Barony of the Wedge

Ancestral lands of House Vauswen, the Barony of the Wedge is characterized by a lack of farmland, made up entirely of small mining villages and the capitol, the Swan's Flight. An extreme contrast between the rich and poor, often times miners will die from the cold if ill-prepared for the winter. However, the rich - who make up the majority of the Heron's Flight - are known for living with extensive vanity and towers rather than long houses. Although the rubies were mined out long ago, the Vauswens kept a few for themselves, enough to make jewelry which is insisted upon being unisex, however perceived feminine by men of the Bull.

Gilnean Royal Alchemical Society

The **Gilnean Royal Alchemical Society** (simplified as GRAS or the Royal Chemists) is a long standing organization dedicated to alchemical research. The forefront of their research is medicinal, with only secondary pursuits into transmutation that comes along with the practice. Founded by King Sebastian Greymane in 171 F.A., the Royal Chemists have cured various diseases and plagues that have run rampant through Gilneas throughout the centuries, the first of which being the curing of Grey Pox. Gilnean libraries are lined with texts from the society and their accomplishments, with the Society's Headquarters within the Military District of Gilneas City as being one of the most well funded in the capitol. Though the Royal Chemists instruct and teach many, only a select few are brought into the official royal court. Even then, monarchs of Gilneas typically have many royal chemists at their side, they tend to appoint one as a leader amongst them. These guildmasters of sorts are typically not found far from the side of the monarch and are typically credited for many alchemical breakthroughs that may occur during their lifespan.

In modern times, the Society has suffered a massive loss in terms of their membership, with their headquarters having been ravaged by the Worgen; indeed many claimed that during the end of the outbreak, they saw countless worgen draped in chemist uniforms. Though the society was a large one, their numbers have dwindled and the most well known royal chemist is Krennan Aranas who was famed for saving Princess Tess Greymane's life as an infant and later for creating a serum that temporarily restored one's mind from the Curse of the Worgen. As of the fall of Gilneas City, Aranas currently acts as the leader of the society. In its current state, the Society has moved shop to Darnassus within the Howling Oak and to Stormwind City where they share their knowledge with other aspiring chemists of the Alliance. They have not allowed the Invasion of Gilneas to pause their work as many of the chemists that still yet live continue to fervently research new medicines for their people, now unimpeded by the Greymane Wall.
Lyra Longspear

 **Affiliations**
 **Family**
 **Status**

**Lyra Longspear** was the eldest daughter of Loras Longspear. Her marriage to her father's rival, Tytos Marwyn united the two clans which had been feuding for centuries. All present day Marwyns are descended from this marriage. Their eldest son would become the first Jarl Marwyn of Dagger Point.

## Appearance

A beautiful woman by all accounts, Lyra was tall, well-endowed, and very athletic in appearance. Her long, dark-brown hair was typically braided in the traditional fashion of the Longspear tribe, and easily reached the small of her back. Like all Longspear women, much of her upper body was adorned with tribal tattoos, many of which were rights of passage. A warrior woman in every sense, the long muscles of her upper arms were well-suited to wielding both spear and shield.

## Marriage

At the age of sixteen, Lyra wed her father's rival, Tytos Marwyn after the two nearly killed one another at the end of a centuries-old feud between their clans. To end the feud, Tytos agreed to share the land comprised of what is now Stonegarde City and Dagger Point with the Tribe of Longspear, and through his marriage to the Chieftain's eldest daughter, the two clans would join forces.

Despite the political nature of their marriage, theirs was certainly not an unhappy union. Known to favor only the strongest and fiercest warriors, Lyra quickly fell in love with her new husband. A woman whose sexual appetite rivaled that of her desire for battle, Lyra bore him nine children in the first 24 years of their marriage, two of which were born in their command tent during various campaigns against rival clans.

## Death

Lyra accompanied her husband to battle many times throughout the course of their marriage, and would eventually come to lead their warriors into battle when her husband was grievously wounded. So enraged by the knowledge that Tytos would soon die of his wounds, at the age of 41, Lyra challenged the enemy leader to single combat. During the vicious duel that lasted more than ten minutes, Lyra was wounded numerous times, but managed to slay her rival before being carried back to her husband's tent. She died laying beside the man she so loved, and only moments after Tytos himself.

Queen **Mia Greymane** (1086 F.A. - Present) is the wife of Genn Greymane, the current ruler of the Kingdom of Gilneas. She met him at the Royal Aderic Banquet, although they didn't officially start courting until two weeks later. Initially having troubled getting pregnant, she gave birth to two children: Liam and Tess.

## History

### Curse of the Worgen

Three days before the worgen attack on Gilneas City, Mia learned about the apparent death of Halford Ramsey from his colleague Cox. Later, during a dinner she scolded her husband for spending too time in his observatory (where he meets with Belrysa Starbreeze, unbeknownst to his wife), neglecting his own family instead, especially Liam, who looked at him as an example. Later on, she witnessed the quarrel between Genn and Vincent Godfrey about the release of Darius Crowley.

She is finally seen while calming down the Duskhaven refugees at Greymane Manor.

At some point after Duskhaven is evacuated, Mia points players toward Genn Greymane to evacuate Greymane Manor in carriages. She notes that he is often stubborn.

### Lord of His Pack

During the exodus to Darnassus, Mia and her daughter were aboard the Elune's Radiance while Genn was on another ship. The fleet was hit by a powerful storm generated by the Cataclysm, and the Elune's Radiance started to sink. Having a leg broken during the storm, Mia could not move and Tess remained with her refusing to leave, so they both risked drowning. Genn, refusing to lose the last two members of his family, assumed worgen form and joined the rescue efforts of the night elf sailors from his ship. He reached their room inside the ship and brought them out, carrying Mia on his arms and Tess on his back, then he dropped them into the sea, where they were reached by the night elves lifeboats. Mia's broken leg was healed by the druids, and after the storm both the women reached Teldrassil safe. She has not appeared since, but she probably followed her husband to Stormwind City.
High Admiral of Gilneas

The **High Admiral of Gilneas** is a defunct position that existed only within the Kingdom of Gilneas. The High Admiral acted as the leader of the Gilnean Navy and was typically also the Admiral of the Duskmist Fleet, also known as the King's Boys.

The position was last held by Sir Bashel Walden until his death several years before the Invasion of Gilneas due to illness. The title acted merely as a formality until Sir Walden's death, as the navy was dismantled following the Second War by King Genn Greymane with the closing of the Gilnean borders and the erection of the Greymane Wall. Following the High Admiral's death, the king retired the position.

It is unknown if the position will be restored, given the re-opened borders of Gilneas, when the kingdom is restored. As it stands, the rank is defunct. Despite this, Duke Berenal Grayblade has put forward suggestion that Admiral Ambrose Hays be promoted, if the title was made active again, due to his extensive service and recent successes that have brought two major island colonies into the fold of Gilneas. Given that Admiral Hays currently commands the largest and most well developed fleet in the navy at the time, the accreditation of two successful island subjugations, and the continued expansion of the Headlands Armada, it is a high likelihood that, if the title was made active again, it would be bestowed to him.

## Known High Admirals of Gilneas

* High Admiral Boris Keel (1112 F.A. - 1116 F.A.)

HMS Pride of Westfall

 **Complement**

The ***Pride of Westfall*** was a ship of the line in the service of the Kingdom of Azeroth during the late Warring Kingdoms Period and much of the Age of Chaos. Launched in 579KY, the ship served honourably in the minor conflicts of the late Warring Kingdoms Period and acquitted itself well during the Stormwind Exodus following the First War, though like the bulk of Stormwind's surviving fleet its sailors were pressed into land service for the Second War. She was ultimately sunk by Scourge forces during the Third War while attempting to deliver aid to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and is believed to now serve as the skeletal hulk Abyssal Terror in the Forsaken Navy, though elements of the two ships differ markedly. She was the last Landen-class first-rate to be constructed and launched.
Company of the Bull

The **Company of the Bull** is a minor mercenary organization in the Eastern Kingdoms. Formed out of the aftermath of the Great Cataclysm of 623 and consisting largely of Lich-War veterans, the Company fought in several battles of the Fourth War (primarily in the Tol Barad theatre) before becoming embroiled in the Second Arathi Civil War, fighting on the side of the Monarchist rebels. Devastated in the closing days of the war, it has since been focused on rebuilding its numbers and operates primarily as private guards for nobility and businesses, with increasing ties to Dornheim Ventures, Limited.

The Knightly **House of Wald** is a cadet branch of the House of Grayblade. Formed upon the revelation that Sir Aeydan Wald was actually Duke Berenal Grayblade's bastard half brother, the two bonded and eventually Aeydan was rewarded with his own cadet branch. The House of Wald has been granted a tower towards the outskirts of Bannhurst named Fang Tower. Though it is not overly lavish, the tower is enough to accommodate both Aeydan, several guardsmen under him, and his companion, fellow Wolf's Guard, Dame Fleur DeWitt.
Akhaka Mok'oshal

**Akhaka Mok'oshal** was a Bleeding Hollow Clan member and Shaman active in the Barrens of Kalimdor in the year prior to the Great Cataclysm of 623KY and in a diminished capacity following that event. A former pig-farmer taken by visions after an injury led to a serious infection that nearly cost him his life, Akhaka preached that the only way to avoid a coming 'apocalypse' was to return to traditional ways on the plains, honouring the spirits and discarding all arcane and infernal magic - and denouncing the Horde until such a time as they did the same. His nascent 'Spirit-Talker Tribe' failed to attain any level of success and he has since blamed himself for the sheer scale of devastation following the Cataclysm, leading him to a nomadic hermit's lifestyle.

He has not been since the closing days of the Fourth War, where he participated in several raids against Dark Shaman camps. He is believed to have been killed in the fighting, executed by Garrosh Hellscream's death squads, or to have retreated once again into his hermitage.

1. ↑ 'Son of the Spirits', deriving from Mok'nathal - (Sons of Nath) and 'Oshu'gun', with Oshu presumed to mean 'Spirits'. Hence, 'Mok' - Son - 'Osh' - spirits - 'al' closing the indicator of son.
Holzer Woodrell

 **Family**

**Holzer Woodrell** is a significant figure in the Barrow Plains region of the Kingdom of Stromgarde. The son of a merchant, Holzer was educated in the Kingdom of Lordaeron but returned home following the Third War and assumed control of his father's business, exporting surplus crops. In the economic chaos that followed, he lost the bulk of his fortune and his business collapsed, leaving Holzer in dire straits and reliant on his neighbours.

He has since emerged in the aftermath of the Arathorian Civil Wars as one of the major thinkers behind the nascent political philosophy of Arathorian Anarchism, a broad school of anarchist thought divided largely into anarcho-collectivists and anarcho-communists. Holzer is a major force for the former in the Barrow Plains, and actively working to expand the influence of this fringe philosophy. At present, he is tolerated by the local aristocracy, but as his rhetoric turns increasingly passionate and influential, this is liable to change.
Dissolution Period

The **Dissolution Period** saw the collapse of the Arathorian Empire and the rise of the Seven Kingdoms as fully independent states in their own right. It is marked by extreme political turmoil and a number of bloody conflicts between the nascent Kingdoms, the crumbling Empire, and humanity's neighbours. There is some overlap with the beginning of the Warring Kingdoms Period - the War for Stormwind's Independence marks the end of the Dissolution Period and the 'proper' beginning of the Warring Kingdoms era.

Kingdom of Gilneas (Formerly)
 **Status**

The **House of Silverlaine** was a Gilnean noble house who's lands consisted of the town of Pyrewood Village and the keep overlooking it. They were slain by the crazed archmage Arugal, and many were raised into undeath including the last head of the house, Baron Silverlaine. The majority of those raised were granted peace after the deaths of Arugal and of Lord Vincent Godfrey and his followers, but some believe many still haunt the ruins of the keep.
House of Swiftsong

The House of Swiftsong is a now nearly defunct Noble House of Quel'thalas. It is currently ruled by Lantos Swiftsong, one of the last members of the house.

With the Argent Bulwark's capturing of Verthill and the land beginning to be healed by druids of the Cenarian Circle. Lantos restarted the House of Swiftsong officially, starting to gather knights and lords within the Argent Crusade to his cause to resettle Verthill. Recently Major Charles Reynolds, of the House of Reynolds has pledged himself to Lantos, becoming one of his bannermen, pledging his lands and his resources to the House of Swiftsong.
HMS Ludgate

**HMS *Ludgate*** is a 50-gun frigate of the Stormwind Navy, originally launched as a 90-gun first-rate ship-of-the-line in 575KY but converted to its current state in 624KY to accomodate modern fleet doctrine and armaments. It is the only remaining Landen-class ship in Stormwind's navy and one of only two afloat, and is regarded as a particularly lucky posting due to its history of successful actions and swift promotions.
Kingdom of Arathor (Dissolution Period)

*This fanon article is intended to address and provide a historical background to the unusual name of the Kingdom of Arathor. It should not be taken as binding by any party except those who wish to be so bound, including by members of the unaffiliated Kingdom of Arathor (Lionblood).*

The **Kingdom of Arathor** (now referred to primarily as either the Kingdom of Arathor (Dissolution Period) or the First Kingdom of Arathor) was the last of the seven major Kingdoms to develop following the crumbling and final demise of the Arathorian Empire. Ruled by the first King of the House of Trollbane, the Kingdom existed for the brief period of two years, spanning 1632 - 1634AD. During this brief span it waged heavy warfare against its neighbours with the stated purpose of reclaiming 'rightful Arathorian land', ultimately coming to a crushing defeat with the death of the King at the Battle of Trolhaven Following the death of its one and only King, the Kingdom was rebranded as the Kingdom of Stromgarde.

Today, it is little but an obscure footnote in the history of the Empire and of Stromgarde, though one that has given its name to a number of political movements since which identify with the goals of the first Kingdom, particularly Arathorian Traditionalism and the Second Kingdom of Arathor.
House of Flintridge

The **House of Flintridge** ruled over the County of Eastvale for many decades after being enfranchised by the House of Wrynn during the Age of Plenty. Unfortunately, most of the family was slain in the waning months of the First War when a group of orcish raiders managed to slip past the front lines and torch the settlement.

When the Second War came to an end the few survivors of House Flintridge managed to make their way back to their home. Eastvale itself was mostly in ruins and the nearby forests had been almost entirely depleted by the Horde in the construction of the orcish armada.

Unwilling to let their family home fall the ruins, the Flintridges replanted the forests and rebuilt their home. In the years after restoring their family lands, the Flintridge's became enormously wealthy supplying lumber for the reconstruction of Stormwind City. With their newfound wealth, the family moved to the city, their manor within the County serving as a casual summer home.

In the years after the Third War the House of Flintridge was finally snuffed out. Count Flintridge, seeking a tutor for his two young children, and only remaining heirs to the County, Giles and Tilloa, hired Stalvan Mistmantle to educate the young nobleboy and noblegirl at their summer home in Eastvale; Flintridge Manor. The Mistmantle Massacre, as it would later be known, resulted when Stalvan, after being spurned by the young Tilloa, murdered the entire family with an axe from the nearby mills. Although Mistmantle was eventually brought to justice, the County was left without an heir and, according to Stormwind Law, was absorbed into the direct holdings of the King until he should appoint another to rule in his stead.
Lord Chancellor of the Church

Fez

The **Fez** is a type of cylindrical hat, usually made of felt or stiff cloth. Fezzes and similar items of clothing are found in many of the cultures on Azeroth, often with very specific and wildly varying cultural, religious and martial significance and symbolism. This article is a WIP - feel free to write sections on other cultures since I probably won't.

## Specific Cultures

### Stromgarde

The fez is a common sight among members of the League of Arathor, serving as one of several broad symbols of a united, strong and traditional highlands. This usage derives from the prevalence of the fez in art from the late Imperial Period, including its wear by several Emperors. Usually, fezzes in the Highlands are black, red, or dark green, with dark green being the most prominent among League members and black or undyed the most common among Highlands traditionalists and, increasingly, Northern Hills Reformists.

The fez is becoming more and more common in Highlands society as a symbol of martial solidarity with the League and the surviving Legions. The perspective of the fez as an affectation of conservative old men remains, though it diminishes yearly with the increasing import of the hat as a symbolic rallying point. In the capital city, it has recently become fashionable to wear fancier and fancier hats which provide no further substantive benefits, sometimes including extremely oversized and decorated fezzes.
