Lord Chamberlain of the Church

**Affiliation**
 **Past Office Holders**

His/Her Beneficence, the **Lord Chamberlain of the Church**, is the chief advocate and advisory post to the Archbishop on all matters. The position may not simultaneously be held either by the Lord Vicar of the Church or the Lord Chancellor of the Church.

The Lord Chamberlain is responsible for the household of the Archbishop, and for attending to matters such as the provision of vestments, books, texts, servants, guards, or other such necessities as the Archbishop may request of him.

The position may only be held by a bishop, and, because of the duties of the post, is generally held by the Bishop who serves as Ordinary for the Diocese in which the Government of the Holy See is located. The Lord Chamberlain is generally instructed to always present the opposition view to the Archbishop in weekly, private audiences. In addition, the Lord Chamberlain is responsible for selecting the most important matters of the day for discussion with the Archbishop during the weekly audience.

In the absence of the Archbishop, or at his direction, the Lord Chamberlain is responsible for advising the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Vicar to help them determine in whose jurisdiction complex matters rest.

Upon the occurance of an interregnum, the Lord Chamberlain is responsible for swiftly reporting the interregnum to the Council of Bishops, destroying the Archbishop's seal, and calling a conclave to elect a new Archbishop with all due haste. Upon the election of a new Archbishop, the Lord Chamberlain's final act is to present the new Archbishop to the people and proclaim him duly elected. At that point, the office of Lord Chamberlain is deemed vacant, and the Archbishop must appoint a new Lord Chamberlain, or re-appoint the former Lord Chamberlain.

Whilst absent, the Archbishop may instruct the Lord Chamberlain to serve the one chosen to be the Archbishop's designated representative (typically the Lord Vicar or the Lord Chancellor), or to serve *as* that representative and thus be served by the Lord Vicar and the Lord Chancellor. Alongside the Lord Vicar and the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chamberlain serves as one of the three highest ranking and most integral servants of the Archbishop.

The current Lord Chamberlain is Bishop Niklos Adamant.

Mal'valen Sunspeaker

*"May the Light and Shadow bless and protect you." -Fr. Mal'valen Sunspeaker*

Mal'valen Vesandis Sunspeaker was an ordained Priest of Lordaeron prior to his death, and currently one of the two heads of the small Eastern Plaguelands village of Sun's Peak. Born to the Quel'dorei noble Kal'theron Sunspeaker and human Kirin Tor magus Karianna Sunspeaker (née Fleetwood), he is the oldest of three and one of the last of the Sunspeaker line.

## Appearance

Of the three half-Elven Sunspeaker children, Mal'valen inherited the most elven traits passed down by his father, and in life, was a spitting image of Kal'theron. In death, his skin is a pale, greyish violet color, and his blue eyes glow with an eerie golden light, much like others of his kind. He bathes frequently to keep his partially rotted body in as good a condition as possible and free of pests. He's managed to keep his long blonde hair in surprisingly pristine condition due to his fastidiousness.

Bits of flesh have rotted away from his ears, cheeks and joints, leaving bones and the insides of his mouth exposed. His lower jaw is a slightly different shade from the rest of his face due to having been replaced, as are his left arm and right leg, giving him a sort of "patchwork" appearance. Typically, he keeps himself covered from head to toe, ensuring that his deformities will go largely unnoticed.

## Personality

Mal'valen is very much a gentle man, treating everyone he meets with kindness (at least until they give him a reason to do otherwise). In spite of being of noble blood, he was raised and taught to live modestly and to give generously to those in need. While he retains much of his personality in life, he has grown somewhat more cynical and morally ambiguous, and is likely to put his family's well-being above nearly anyone else's regardless of the circumstances, especially when it comes to those in his family who are still living.

On the Myers Briggs Type Indicator scale, Mal'valen is ISFP.
House of Barrow

The **House of Barrow** is the third House to hold that name, and the current land-owners of the Barrow Plains region of the Arathi Highlands. The current patriarch of the House is Bruce d'Barrow, 9th Baron of Barrowhold, born 551KY. Responsible for protecting the ancient burial grounds of the Plains from Forsaken corpse-raiders, the House maintains an abnormally large Household Guard and semi-permanent raised army. While this has served admirably to prevent the long-lost dead from being used in the Forsaken's war on the Kingdom of Stromgarde, it has left the family in dire financial straits and increasingly unable to address the social issues gripping the province - or to prevent the rise of a collectivist faction of anarchists under Holzer Woodrell.

## Noteworthy Holdings

### The Barrow Plains

A surprisingly large area for such a minor house, the Barrow Plains is largely an uninhabited and sombre expanse of ancient tombs, burial mounds, and mass graves from the Troll Wars. The bulk of the population are concentrated in the White Monastery, home to an isolationist order of Arathorian grave-keeping monks, and in the Barrowhold, a fortified township surrounded by farmlands located in the rough centre of the Plains.

## Linked Families

* House of Fiendeyrr, by the 497KY marriage of Clarise d'Barrow to Maximilian d'Fiendeyrr, 3rd Baron d'Fiendeyrr.
* House of Arevass, by the 516KY marriage of Charles d'Arevass to Sarah d'Barrow.

## Previous Families of the Same Name

* First House of Barrow: Extinguished during the Thane Uprising, the First House of Barrow had held the land for approximately four hundred years.
* Second House of Barrow: Extinguished in the second century, the Second House of Barrow had held the land for only seventy-five years prior to their dismissal for failing to prevent a Hector the Wretched from wreaking havoc in the Barrow Plains in the conflict known at the time as the 'Great Uprising of the Dead' and now referred to as the 'Skirmish of Dead Heroes'.

 **Status**

Ereb Faroth is a High Elven Ranger who was most recently in the service of the Silver Shield Company and before that the Shattered Sun Offensive. Presently he has been recovering in Hearthglen after being wounded in combat within the Eastern Plaguelands, specifically the area known as Plaguewood.

## Appearence

Ereb Faroth stands at around 6' 3", an average height for a High Elf, he has deep azure eyes, and a thick head of hair, colored a dark red. His beard matches this color. His armor is dented in many places and it can be seen that he carries a bow, quiver of arrows, and a few knives. Other than that he has various other equipment he can be seen with, like recently a rifle.

## History

### Presumed Dead

While the Silver Shield Company was officially disbanded some months before, Ereb Faroth continued to serve as a mercenary, eventually being hired in May of 623 K.C. by the Argent Crusade to scout the Plaguewood with a squad of freshly trained Argent Rangers. Upon entering the Plaguewood and starting their initial expedition, the group of rangers were attacked and driven into nearby ruins of the town that once existed in this region. One by one the rangers fell from the forces of the Undead Scourge until Ereb was all that left. With no other way to escape, the ranger barricaded himself into a ruined building, surviving on field rations he had for what seemed to be weeks. Finally, in September of 623 K.C., forces of the Argent Bulwark discovered him during their campaign in the Plaguewood and brought him back to Hearthglen. For months the ranger has been recovering in the city.

### Personality

Firmly an elven supremacist. She fought for the interests of the Elven people. After the sunwells restoration, while many abandoned the original blood knight ideology, she did not. To the shock of her friends and fellow knights. She abandoned the Blood Knights and Quel'thalas and left for the Alliance. No one knows why she abandoned the Horde and took up Alliance banners.

With her loyalties now with the Alliance. One can wonder is why?

### Equipment

She wields blood-tempered Ranseur as a main weapon. Her great shield bears the sin'dorei colors. On her back is two Sin'dorei warblades. Her steel armor is more ceremonial than practical at times, although it allows her to move around the battle.

Her fighting style is a hybrid. Split between defense and offense. Her primary tactic is to her great shield to block her enemy enemy attacks while using her ranseur to stab them. Should the tactic be deemed useless, she will drop her shield and use the ranseur in strong strikes. If the Ranseur isn't suitable. She will draw her two warblades and begin attacking in fast bursts to end the battle.

Hilim Mountains

File:SwissAlps.jpg
The **Hilim Mountains**, are a group of mountains that are part of the Alterac Mountain Range, they run through the Province of Cre'n Fa'earn, the Province of Ruis, and the Midland Province. The Hilim Mountains, creates a natural boarder between the Provinces of Cre'n Fa'earn and Ruis. The safest way to pass from the Province of Cre'n Fa'earn to the Province of Ruis, is through Dun Dui Ri, which goes under the mountains and exits at Noredh.

The mountains are home to loggers, and a small herding community; there are also a few mountain lakes were boaters, and fishermen can be seen. Like the Hilm Mountains, the Hilim Mountains are region is rich in iron, and granite, and so there are many mines located in those mountains. The mountains are also home to the Hilim Temple, and fortress Dun Dui Ri, the city of Kirkjafloi, and the town of Noredh.

The name Hilim, is believed to have come from a giant in Alteraci Paganism, the giant bore the same name, Hilim. It was said that Hilim was so massive that when he died, these mountains formed where he fell.
House of Cloverfield

The **House of Cloverfield** was a relatively minor Gilnean noble house that originated from the Ashen Coast of the Kingdom of Gilneas. The house made it's home on the island of Beau's Tooth and remained relatively obscure for most of its history. The family was known to have a distant blood relation to the House of Grayblade.

The Cloverfields mostly served as maintainers of the nearby Galewatch Lighthouse as well as monitoring in coming and leaving ships from Gilneas' western ports.

In its prime, the island had two combat capable ships that were kept on stand by in case of wandering pirates or smugglers, and the tower it's self served as a defensive fortification as well as the home to the Cloverfields as it contained several cannons within. Aside from the keep and its large tower, the island was relatively empty, being extremely small and unable to host much. Regardless, the island did have a small port and a few fishermen made their home on the island by way of small cabins by the coast.

Following the supposed destruction of House Grayblade by the Seventh Skull Legion, House Cloverfield was elevated to a higher position, being put in charge of most of the Grayblades lands following their demise, having won over the other vying house, the House of Darkoak which had lost due to the blood ties the Cloverfields held with the Grayblades. Unfortunately, the family was mysteriously killed shortly after their appointment as Marcher Lords of the Bite, and the title was passed on to House Darkoak.

With the Cloverfields dead, Beau's Tooth was left abandoned aside from its fisherman populace. The keep had been looted by an unknown party, and the island faded once more into obscurity. It was not until a large storm rocked the coasts of Gilneas that Beau's Tooth saw the end of the abandoned keep, as the poorly maintained structure was destroyed by near unnaturally high waves and gusting winds.

The Island was left alone throughout the remaining years until the Gilnean re-establishment order, the Blades of Greymane, came into the area to revitalize and restore the Ashen Coast. Restored as a side project by Lord Berenal Grayblade, the keep tower was rebuilt with more sturdy craftsmanship. It was later gifted to Lord Cedrec Delcarn for his service to the Blades along with the title of Baronet.

Gavin's Fall is a now destroyed village within Tempestus Valley in the Storm Peaks in Northrend. Prior to its destruction it held a small population of two hundred fifty men and women of various races, along with a small guard unit of thirty-five Argent Crusaders. The town, upon its founding, joined the Argent Crusade and attracted a variety of settlers. The town has since been rebuilt under the eyes of Charles Reynolds.

## History

Upon their plans being foiled, the last known lord, Vincent Godfrey threw himself from the cliffs of the Reach rather than be captured or work alongside the Worgen as allies, killing himself. Though he was later raised as an undead under the Forsaken, whom he too later betrayed, he was slain. Accounts vary whether or not it was the Bloodfang Pack that slew him, or the forces of the Forsaken. It is unknown if Lord Godfrey had any next-of-kin or heirs, though none have come forward and the House was likely disenfranchised due to high treason.

Knight-Lieutenant (Stormwind)

The military rank of **Knight-Lieutenant** in the Stormwind Army is a prestigious officership, open only to Knighted individuals. Knight-Lieutenant is an entry-level officer rank that cannot be purchased and which is equivalent to Captaincy, making it the only path to attain higher officerhood without significant expense or lengthy experience. In addition to this higher rank, the vaunted title offers an additional sovereign-and-half a year pay over the two sovereign pay of the regular lieutenant, additional leave, and preferential postings when requested - provided they do not reflect poorly on the Knighthood. One small complication posed by the rank is that it largely prevents rear service; Knight-Lieutenants are expected to seek out, with their privilege of picking postings, active combat service on the front.

Isle of Darrow

The Isle of Darrow is a solitary island located in the middle of Darrowmere Lake in the Western Plaguelands. It is named after the lake, and the city of Caer Darrow is located on it. Once a beautiful island, it is now abandoned and has been severely devastated by Kel'thuzad's plague.

Only meager fish are still able to survive in the murky waters and the towering fortress seems to suck hope itself from the surrounding air. Every year or so new students can be seen entering the manor, or graduates grimly sulking out. Only ghosts of the town's former inhabitants remain, only visible with the spectral essence given by the manor's former servants.

The **Kul Tiras Navy** is the standing (some would argue floating) military of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras. It maintains the largest human fleets of the Grand Alliance and fields thousands of ship-borne Marines in its defense. The Kul Tiras Navy dominated maritime warfare on the Great Sea for centuries, only recently put into question due to the losses it suffered during the Third War and the Cataclysm. Prior to the Cataclysm, the kingdom attempted to rebuild its core fleets, though it is reported that the severe shift that caused the main island of Kul Tiras to shift out to sea caused substantial destruction of rebuilding efforts.

## Fleets of the Navy

* The First Fleet, still in active service. Stationed in Boralus. Suffered severe damage after the Cataclysm.
* The Second Fleet, sunk some time during the First War. Was reportedly being rebuilt prior to the Cataclysm. Status unknown afterwards.
* The Third Fleet, sunk on the coast of Khaz Modan. Previously commanded by Captain Derek Proudmoore. No word on rebuilding the third has been made, possibly out of respect for the deceased.

Jarl Marwyn

**File:Longspear.png** **Jarl Marwyn** (See Earl) is a hereditary title, possessed by the very first Marwyn Chieftains, descended from the ancient Arathi tribe of Longspear. Though the title was seldom used after the Trollbane dynasty came to rule the Kingdom of Stromgarde and the peerage was modernized, it remains as a point of pride for Marwyn descendants. Its territorial designation comes from the tiny peninsula known as Dagger Point. After the male line of the Longspear ended and their Marwyn descendants inherited control of the Isle of Longspear, the title was shortened to *"Jarl Marwyn"* and has remained so ever since.

Along with the title, the following lands have passed from generation to generation of Marwyn Jarls:

House of Cobalstant

The House of Cobalstant was a once affluent Gilnean noble house that ruled the Ashen Coast of Gilneas in a region known as The Bite. Formed by the merging of two feuding families, the Cobals and Stantons, during the establishment of the Kingdom of Gilneas, the Cobalstants have a long and bloodied history and were known for being ruthless unforgiving individuals.

A rather unloved yet strongly religious House, the Cobalstants secured their dominance of the Ashen Coast with the establishment of the town Bannhurst, which boasted a large and plentiful gold mine which secured their wealth. With Bannhurst, Cobal's Hold and Karnsburg under their control, the region of the Cobalstant's power was later named The Bite for ease of reference, and thus they became the Lords of the Bite.

Despite their strong and fierce history, they were destroyed after a riot when Lord Balfred Cobalstant hosted a feast in Bannhurst at Cobalstant Manor, where the entire Cobalstant family was slaughtered and the House of Grayblade came into power in the area as a result. The Cobalstants went defunct about fourty years before the Invasion of Gilneas and about twenty years before the erection of the Greymane Wall.

The Cobalstants were raised into undeath by the Forsaken during the The Battle of the Bite, where generations of Cobalstants and their banner men were raised. Casting their lot in with the Forsaken, Lord Hendrick Cobalstant has taken leadership of the once great family in undeath.

A living branch of the family exists by way of Maribell Cobalstant, formerly Maribell Parsons. The Warden was found to be a bastard of the Cobalstant lineage and was legitimized by the duke on the stipulation she forfeit the family's claim to any preexisting titles. Upon doing so, she was elevated to a full peer within the Viscounty of Graston and the Warden title was made hereditary.

 **Status**

**Emberstone Village** is a small Gilnean mining town that was built along the Northgate River in the Kingdom of Gilneas. It is to the east of the Northgate Woods, and Gilneas City can be found to the southwest. It managed to survive the Curse of the Worgen, although it was invaded by the Forsaken shortly afterwards. Those that did not escape were enslaved and forced to work in the nearby Emberstone Mine. It was later freed by the Gilneans shortly before the Battle for Gilneas City.
Hinterlands

The untamed **Hinterlands** of West Lordaeron are some of the most densely forested land remaining in the Eastern Kingdoms. With towering oaks and maples dominating its rugged, hilly landscape - with reports of a mystic glade in the north-west - it has also been one of those few places that humans have not settled in any meaningful number, as it has remained largely the domain of the fierce and cruel Forest Trolls. In recent years it also became home to the exiled Wildhammer Clan of dwarves and to a largely slaughtered population of High Elves.

 **Founder**

The **House of Graveshire** is a relatively new noble house founded by then landed knight Nicholas Graveshire, leader of the Grey Hand. Elevated to the status of baron following support from various nobles such as Adrian Gregor and Berenal Grayblade, Sir Graveshire was granted the status of Baron of Greymoon Isle and made a noble in his own right. Though the house is relatively new, they have already made great strides towards the reclamation of the Kingdom of Gilneas. They were later elevated to Viscount by way of a second petition due to their successful management of Greymoon Isle and the tactical advantage the island presented.

After a bloody dispute between House Graveshire and its vassal, House Auber and their region the Misty Hollow, House Graveshire absorbed the territory in order to compensate for the losses. This raised the status to Earl.

Greymoon Isle

The Kingdom of Gilneas
The House of Graveshire
**Greymoon Isle** is an island off the coast of southeastern Gilneas. It is lorded over by Lord Nicholas Graveshire of the House of Graveshire, the viscount of the island. Until its settlement by the Grey Hand, Lord Graveshire's order, the island was completely uninhabited. Since their arrival, the region has flourished.

## History

The isle was gifted to Sir Nicholas Graveshire by Isabella Heart. After petitioning for a rise to nobility after his service to the Kingdom, a petition supported by multiple nobles such as Berenal Grayblade, Sir Graveshire's friend and ally. Elevated to baron following the petition, the island under went heavy work, resulting in the foundation of Moonfall, a large fortified town in the mountain of Greymoon Isle. Within Moonfall lies The Bastion, the base of the Grey Hand.

Though the island has had relatively no history, having been recently populated. Despite this, a few towns have already sprouted up.

### Towns and Locations within the Isle

* Moonfall, the capitol of the island. The town is a castle town that sprouted up around The Bastion. It is walled off and guarded by the mountains that surround it.
	+ The Bastion of the Grey Hand, a large fortified keep within Moonfall. It is the seat of the House of Graveshire and the home of the lord.
* Ferric's Hide, a small lumber producing town within the woods of Greymoon. It is not connected to the Lupine Road, which runs through the island, though it does help with lumber production.
* Fairwind Port, a sizable port that handles most of the imports and small amount of ships the Grey Hand commands. The port sees a fair amount of traffic and is the only port on the island. It also hosts a small amount of farming on the outskirts.
* Lupine Road, a long dirt road that runs through the main parts of the island. It runs from the docks of Fairwind to the entrance of Moonfall and crosses over Archibald's Run by way of a wooden bridge.
* Archibald's Run, a river that originates in the mountains of Greymoon. It runs straight through the island and empties out into the ocean, providing a reliable source of fresh water for the isle.

 **Status**

**Folston Village** is a small town located in the southeastern part of the Headlands of Gilneas known as the Barony of Edenford. It was built in between the War of Aderic and the War of Silverpine. Built near fertile lands, it was home to a small farming community. It was spared by the Invasion of Gilneas, where it was evacuated early by the mayor at the time, Mayor George Carleton. Today, it remains abandoned, but intact.
Grey Pox

**Grey Pox**, also known as Gwen's Fever, is a rare disease that surfaced originally in the Kingdom of Lordaeron along the border of Gilneas. It was known to spread into the Kingdom of Gilneas during the reign of Gwen Greymane, where it claimed the Queen's life in 170 F.A.. The disease ran rampant, as it was highly contagious, and nearly wiped out a quarter of the Gilnean population as it had a rather high fatality rate if gone untreated for too long. Symptoms normally included rashes and pox spreading on a person's body alongside phlegm and excessive nasal mucus. The fatality of the sickness came from swelling that could potentially close off one's air intake if it reached the neck or nasal region, causing death by asphyxiation.

Under King Sebastian Greymane, the disease was culled in 176 F.A. by way of the Gilnean Royal Alchemical Society. The disease has, as of today, become uncommon. Its cure, having been found to be a simple Peacebloom and Earthroot mix, is an easy to obtain solution.
House of Levente

The **House of Levente** is one of Stormwind's old aristocratic families. They were ennobled somewhere during the third century, when Martin Levente became the first Count of Levenshire, a settlement developed by the house of Levente almost fifty years earlier. The current head of the house is Anton Levente, eldest son of the late Darius Levente. The Levente have always been supporters of the Church of the Holy Light, and many of their seconds sons became Bishops of nearby Myrewood County. (See Bishop of Myrewood) The Levente are a very wealthy family, though it is rumored that those of its number who acquired positions within the Church (Usually the second and third-born sons of the sitting Earl) have used such positions to accumulate such vast wealth. Such accusations have never been proven.

Vek

The Vek are one of three natural sentient species left on the world of Axaar, along with the Axaari, and Syran. They have been engaged in a bitter war against the forces of the Burning Legion and The Swarm.

## History

Before the Axaari race arrived on the planet, the Vek were there. It is rumored that they were the original inhabitants of Axaar. After a period of strife between the two races, the Vek and the Axaari became acquaintances, trading and interacting with each other. During the first Legion invasion of the world, the Vek did not participate in the war, instead choosing to stay in their hives and wait it out.

During the second invasion, the Vek were stirred from their nests and arose in an incredible swarm. However, with the Legion’s Fel Reavers, the swarm was beaten back and out of their hive city, where the Legion turned it into their home base. The Vek, like the other races, were forced to go to The Glade.

The Vek have been in a constant war with the forces of The Swarm since they arrived many years before the Burning Legion. It’s rumored by the Axaari that their war have been going on for eons and the only thing that has hindered this great war was the arrival of the Legion and them being forced back to The Midnight Glade.

## Culture

The Vek are an insectoid race, and comprise of 78% of the current races on Axaar. They are a heavily theocratic race, believing their leader is an Empress. The Vek are not very territorial, as their main cities and infrastructure lies underneath the surface. Their primary city was known as Vrakk, a sprawling hive under the mountain now known as Archimonde’s Revenge. Within the city was a race almost as technologically advanced, as the Night Elves.

The Vek do not usually hunt. Instead, they feed off of nutrients that filter down from the surface. When they do hunt, however, it is because of a general lack of nutrients filtering into their city from the surface, causing them to become more aggressive and spending weeks at a time hunting. Their greatest warriors are sent out in large packs that scour the surface for however long that hunt was decided to be. It’s during this time that they kill anything they can find, from forces of the Swarm to whatever mammals are left on the surface and bring it back to their city.

The Vek’s staple of food is mainly this nutrient residue, caused by decomposition of corpses and Baotrari trees. However, they can go through periods of homeostasis when their food runs low to keep themselves alive whilst they make weapons for their hunts. When they hunt, they eat almost anything that moves that they can kill. This includes the Syran, Swarm, and the local fauna. The Vek do not usually attack the Axaari.

Once it was finally deployed it was put under the command of death knight Joanric Morgul, an underling to Legost. Forces of the Argent Bulwark attacked the necropolis as it was floating over the eastern regions of the Dragonblight in Northrend. After a hard week long campaign within the fortress the Bulwark was successful in capturing it, setting off explosives inside it, causing it to crash to the ground.
