Age of Chaos

The Age of Chaos is a common name for the period of warfare and chaos lasting from approximately 591KY to 624KY (note however that some scholars do not acknowledge the Age of Mortals as a distinct time period), during which the Horde and the Alliance rose to power, Kalimdor was discovered, and multiple world wars fought. It is characterized by extreme political disturbances, regular warfare between superpowers, and multiple existential threats to Azeroth itself.

Courtesy title

A **courtesy title** is a title that is not a substantive title but rather is used through custom or courtesy by the heirs apparent of noblemen in the human Kingdoms. If a peer of one of the top ranks (a duke, marquess, Count or earl) has more than one title, his eldest son, not himself an actual peer, may use one of his father's lesser titles 'by courtesy'. However, the father continues to be the substantive holder of the peerage title and the son using the peerage by courtesy legally remains a commoner unless issued a writ of acceleration. If the eldest son of one of these top ranks also has an heir, he may use a still lower title if one exists. For example, the eldest son of the Duke of Newcastle uses his father's lesser title, the Earl of Sutton. A courtesy title does not automatically grant its holder a seat in the house of lords, though the heirs apparent of many noblemen are sometimes called upon to sit in the house of lords when said noblemen are unable to do so. This is done via a writ of acceleration.

## Choosing a Courtesy Title

The actual courtesy title which is used is a matter of family tradition. For instance, the eldest son of the Duke of Newcastle was always styled *"Lord Sutton"* using the courtesy title of Earl of Sutton Vale, because of that title's significance to the house of Sutton. The Earl of Blackwood's heir apparent was styled *"Lord Westvale"*, even though the Earl also holds the title Viscount of Westbank, which outranks the Barony. In this case, because the heir apparent was a nephew and not a son, the Earl chose the lesser title.

If a peer of the rank of Earl or above does not have any subsidiary titles of a name different from his main title, his heir often uses an invented courtesy title of *"Lord + Surname"*. For instance, the eldest son of the Earl of Whitecrown in the Arathi Highlands was styled Lord Maclear, even though the Earl had no subsidiary title.
Chesterfield Family

The **Chesterfields** were a prominent family in Gilneas City until its fall in late 623KY. Originally a family of petty labourers, over three centuries they raised themselves to ever increasing heights, until they stood as prominent members of the bourgeois middle class of Gilneas in the late 5th Century. Unfortunately, their loftier ambitions - which had gone so far as the purchase of the dismantled Luntzmaster Manufacturing company - were cut short by both the Worgen and the Forsaken Invasion, and today the Chesterfields are a largely destitute family peddling their clockmaking skills in Stormwind City.

While their name has yet to regain its former cachet as a guarantee of quality, Chesterfield-designed pocket watches are an increasingly affordable and popular item among the bureaucrats and officers of the Kingdom of Stormwind. The most common such design, crafted in conjunction with Hulton Fizzwhisker's Gnomish artisans, is a modified hunter-case that can also be worn on a wrist strap, utilizing a fully jewelled mechanism and a stem-winding system. One feature in these watches, an innovation by Nathan Chesterfield, is a carefully regulated mechanism that allows the watch to keep identical time in conditions of high heat and extreme cold - a popular one, given the uncertainty of deployment across Azeroth's many climates.

Brittle Bone Keep

*Will be adding to this soon once I get pictures and such made for it.*
Brittle Bone Keep is a fortress within the Storm Peaks in the area known as Tempestus Valley, it was a major fortification for the forces of the Undead Scourge. It was captured twice during the Argent Crusade, once during the War against the Lich King, and a second time when a task force of Argent and Order of the Ebon Blade soldiers under the command of Lord Commander Lantos Swiftsong attacked and put it under siege.

Following the Second Battle of Tempestus Valley, the Keep was given to the mercenary Xal to use to help the rebuilding Argent Crusade forces in the valley to ensure the Scourge never took back the fortress without a hard fight.
Earldom of Bear's Grasp

The **Earldom of Bear's Grasp**, also known as the "Belt of the Bite" or the Muzzle, was a large earldom within the The Bite that spanned from the Barony of Shorfall to the Barony of Graston, forming a sort of barrier of power for the House of Cobalstant to control the Bite. Ruled by the lords of the Viscounty of the Fang exclusively, it was a constant source of Cobalstant authority until their eventual demise. The Earldom was disbanded under Haverin Grayblade who intended to dismantle the extremely centralized power of the Bite (namely due to the inability to run near half of the entire region alone) for a more favorable distributed form. This was never seen to fruition due to the destruction of Bannhurst. Though it no longer exists in name, the Muzzle can still be seen to partially exist under Haverin's son Berenal Grayblade, who has yet to re-delegate the various lands that once made up the region.
Axaari

The Axaari are one of three sentient species left on the world of Axaar that are engaged in a bitter war with the Burning Legion and the Swarm. While once humanoid in form they are now machine-like thanks to an artefact that lifted up their race and helped them fight against the Burning Legion. They are not a natural species to the world and have little to no idea how they arrived on Axaar.

## History

Originally, the Axaari were a race of bipedal creatures resembling simians and gorillas. However, after the first invasion of the planet, the race turned into a race of machine rangers, the main hunters and killers of the Legion. They are immortal and extremely advanced, wielding guns that harness what appears to be pure arcane energy.

When the Axaari arrived on the planet, they discovered the Vek race, which set off a conflict that spanned only a few years before the Vek were forced to surrender. The Axaari named the planet after their own race, before establishing large mountain acropolises across the Range of Courage. Their greatest city was on Mount D’Kaar, where they discovered a titan artifact. This artifact was responsible for a boom in their technological advances.

The Legion, sensing the strength of this artifact, decided to invade Axaar for the first time. The Axaari were mostly successful in fighting the Legion. However, the Axaari were forced to destroy the Artifact to save the world. Instead, they transferred their souls into warriors made of gears and machinery instead of flesh and blood. The first invasion of Axaar happened around 7,000 years before the human ‘First War’ on Azeroth.

The second invasion of Axaar, however, was much stronger. 450,000 demons instead of the 150,000 who had originally attacked, alongside thousands of Fel Reavers and a greater force, all three races of Axaar were pushed back. All the races fled to the Glade whilst the legion took the planet. It was in the Glades where the Axaari created a device to mask the islands, like the Draenei’s Ata’mal Crystals, though they were more technological in nature. Allowing them to stay hidden from the Legion. The Second Invasion happened a mere 3,250 years before the First War.

## Culture

The Axaari, being machinery, do not have much of a religion or culture to speak of. Their race does, however, see great power in their leader, a machine known as “Vanguard”. They hold great respect for Vanguard, almost to the point of a god. The Axaari also have no cuisine.They are not territorial, as they believe they exist to destroy the Legion. Natural territorial squabbles and trespassing does occur when the Axaari pursue demons, but it is mostly ignored due to the fact the Axaari could destroy the Syran.

Before their arrival to Axaar and transformation to machine, they resembled gorillas or simians and they lived this way for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, living a simplistic tribal life style. It was during this time though that they were transplanted by an unknown being, many believe it to be the same beings who made the Artefact, to Axaar where their lifestyle and culture changed and they began coming together into larger communities.
Deus

**Deus** is the nominal identity of a God or God-like being worshipped by the Human deist sects, including but not limited to:

* The Clerics of Northshire (Antebellum Deist)
* The Reformist Faith
* The Church of Northshire (Kastonite)
* The Traditional Observance Church of Deus; and
* The Gilnean Deism of the Hardrew People.

Unlike The Holy Light, Deus is perceived by these groups as a sentient deity rather than a force, philosophy, or way of existence. Deus worshippers usually, but not always, also believe in a dualistic cosmology in which Deus struggles against one or more 'evil' 'gods', and are almost always monotheists. Such groups do not always identify their Deus as identical to those of other believers, and often utilize their own name for the god. Their unifying features are those outlined above.
Baronetcy of King's Cross

The **Baronetcy of King's Cross** is a small baronetcy ruled over by the House of Thorne and is located in the eastern portion of the Bite, just off one of the rivers. The lands were taken from the House of Thorne along with their titles after the end of the Northgate Rebellion, which they publically supported. The holding is rather tiny and was destroyed during the Invasion of Gilneas, but it has recently been restored by Lord Lancion Thorne, who was granted back his titles by the Duke.
Barony of Crooked Hollow

The **Barony of Crooked Hollow** is a long standing barony located in the southern reaches of The Bite. Lorded over by the House of Blackmist, which can trace its roots back to the Wickers, the region is one of the only in the entire Ashen Coast to be located within the Dark Woods. Though the Barony it's self is of standard size, the actual populated portions of the holding can be found in the seat of Blackfall Reach and a few farms around the town exclusively.
Caridis Grayblade

Jon Grayblade (son)

 File:Berandcari.png
Former-Duchess **Caridis Grayblade** (née Delythie) is a Lordaeron born Worgen warrior from north eastern Lordaeron in what is now known as the Eastern Plaguelands. She is a member of the Gilnean re-establishment order, The Blades of Greymane which is currently led by her husband Lord Berenal Grayblade. She currently has one child with Berenal, Jon Grayblade, and lives with them in the family's seat of Wolfstone Castle in The Ashen Coast of Gilneas. Though she is not Gilnean born, she has pledged to help retake the kingdom in hopes of destroying the Forsaken who currently rule over the lands of Lordaeron, as well as to be able to fight the New Horde alongside allies.

She gained the Curse of the Worgen following an incident in Silverpine Forest where she was bitten by one of the feral Worgen that prowled the landscape. She has served in multiple orders, such as the First Regiment and later as part of Grey Haven, where she acted as Shield-Elder before resigning her position.

She has been granted lordship over Cobal's Hold by her husband, and under her leadership the town has been completely restored and garrisoned as a military base. The soldiers within the town bear the banner of the House of Grayblade as well as the Blades and under go strict training in order to be properly prepared for battle with the enemy. It is noted that within the town that all residents must pull their own weight, starting at a young age, though work for the young is often restricted in order to prevent excessive child labor. As such it is common to find the peasantry aiding about the town, with the young doing menial tasks such as fetching water or helping to repair small parts of the town.

She passed away.

Cerberus

File:Cerberus.jpg
Cerberus is a longsword used by High Commander Berenal Grayblade of The Blades of Greymane. It was forged from the remnants of the elven runeblade Faral'amir.

## Description

Cerberus is a very finely crafted and ornate sword. Kept with a metal and black leather bound pommel and a finely crafted blade. The blade is a mixture of elven steel and Moonsteel, forming a resilient sword. The runes that once adorned Faral'amir are absent from the new blade.

## Usage

Berenal was gifted the sword Faral'amir by the Death Knight Alranthor Dawnbreaker following a long duel in which neither of them were the victor. The blade was very old but durable, having seen the Gilnean through many battles. It saw its last battle when Lord Grayblade deflected a blow from an orcish death knight attempting to strike down the League of Lordaeron soldier, Alverdo Blackmoore during the Second Battle of Andorhal.

Following the battle, Berenal had the blade completely reforged using a mixture of the blade fragments and dwarven steel, forming a unique yet strong sword. Naming the new blade, Cerberus, Lord Grayblade keeps the sword on him at all times, preferring to wield it alongside a large spiked shield.
Baron of Loblaw

The title **Baron of Loblaw** - or as it is frequently rendered, Baron Loblaw or Lord Loblaw- is a landless title in the Stormwind Peerage, established in mid-626KY. Its current - and thus far, only - holder is the eccentric Lord Bob Loblaw, a resident of Stormwind City.

## History

One of the newest titles in the Kingdom, the barony was granted as part of the ennobling of the bourgeois Bob Loblaw, a barrister in Stormwind City known for his claim of being the best lawyer of any stripe in the Eastern Kingdoms and for his significant wealth. Lord Loblaw made his coffers available to the Throne to support the war effort, arming several regiments with top-rate equipment and funding the purchase of two additional attack gyrocopters for the nascent Stormwind Air Corps's rotary section. In return, the Crown saw fit to ennoble him with a hereditary title. Rumour has it that the scandalous 'purchase' of title was precipitated by a low-ranking noble remarking to the then-commoner that his opinion in politics held no worth due to his station; out of sheer spite, Bob Loblaw exploited his position of familiarity to the Crown and much of the aristocracy, leveraging much of his significant wealth to acquire title that very night. Reportedly, he returned to that noble the next day, bearing letters patent with a herald ahead of him carrying his quickly assembled banner and announcing his presence, and firmly repeated his opinion.
Alteraci Jaegers

### Third War

One surviving regiment participated in the defence of Stromgarde, others remained at home, working alongside the army of Lordaeron in a desperate attempt to turn the tide against the Scourge Onslaught.

### Recent Years

With the complete disintegration of the Kingdom of Alterac's lands in the aftermath of the Third War, no Jaeger regiments are currently in formal existence. However, the bulk of the men from these regiments have gone on to join various armed causes across the Eastern Kingdoms. The most prominent force of Jaegers is currently that held by the Alteraci Loyalist, Daniel Hawes, in the Reichfeld area. Smaller forces and individual jaegers are a common sight in the Syndicate.

## Typical Equipment

### The Rifle

The defining part of a Jaeger's equipment was the long rifle. While no single standardized model was adopted by the Jaeger regiments, a popular choice was the Gilnean-manufactured Luntzmasterk Model 19 Rifle, manufactured in quantities that made it affordable while retaining an excellent reputation for quality craftsmanship and reliability of service. Though shorter rifles were also in use, it was the thirty-inch barrel of the Model 19 that enabled the Jaegers in their prime to build their fearsome reputations as crackshots. Even as the muzzle-loaded Model 19 became increasingly outdated, it remained a frequent sight among Jaegers, and has increasingly resurfaced as old weapons, retired to civilian uses, are restored to military purposes by the scrounging Alteraci Loyalists and Syndicate forces.
Cinthia's Revenge

**File:Cinthia's Revenge.jpg** **Cinthia's Revenge** or simply *"Sin's Revenge"* (Formerly HMS Trident) is a 70', single-mast sloop that formerly belonged to the Stormwind Navy. She carries only six cannons, and while she is much smaller than a traditional warship, her shallow draft and large sails make her an indeal pirate vessel -- fast, and easily maneuverable. She was comandeered by Elisabeth Blackfyre while docked at Stormwind Harbor during a short gun battle that resulted in three harbor guards being severely wounded, and Elisabeth's First Mate, William Collins being mortally wounded.

## History

The HMS Trident was to be decomissioned in late October of 623, but was comandeered while socked at Stormwind Harbor. Elisabeth Blackfyre (AKA: Lisabet Blacksail) sailed her South to Booty Bay, stripped her decks, and outfitted her for piracy before re-christening her the *Cinthia's Revenge*. Since then, the ship has been spotted in numerous neutral ports. Her shallow drafts allows her to be sailed up river and easily hidden from Naval ships in pursuit.
Andrew Storme

This is where you edit an introductory description of your character that touches base on all elements of your wiki.

# Description

As a human, Andrew isn't very remarkable. A bit taller than average at 6'6", plain, brown, neck-length hair, a thick but well trimmed beard and a decent muscular build are all that really defines him. Seen in what appear to be the typical casual clothing, he'd be difficult to spot in a crowd aside from the Argent tabard he proudly sports. In his Worgen form, he stands taller than some others, but not massively. A very blunt man, he will say things as they are without hesitation and is quick to try and turn any situation into something light or funny. He feels he's the perfect balance of serious and funny, but several could disagree with that as he tends to ignore social cues and make jokes even at the most inappropriate of times, if only just to make himself laugh. It is how he deals with things, humor, and he prefers to keep things away from 'completely serious' so people do not become irrational or start a fight. While not exactly a pacifist, he dislikes pointless fighting in his presence and will not tolerate it in the least.

# Personality

He has a very well honed sense of good and justice, willing to make sure it is met out at any cost, even at the cost of his own reputation or even his life. Though it is well-honed, it is not perfect, and he can occasionally martyr himself for something that wasn't at all right, or mattered little. He tends to let his passions get in the way of his reason, though he despises this part of himself. He always believes the only way to fix a situation or win a battle or to solve and issue, one must use clear, cold logic and apply it effectively. Ignorance is his enemy and as such, he disdains the attitudes of the Alliance and Horde, feeling both sides are nothing but "bickering children." Coming from Lordaeron, he's had several ties with the Argent Dawn and the Crusade out of a sense of duty. Being an Officer of the Crusade, he has come to terms with things one would not expect because of it - namely his relative indifference toward the 'Horde' races. Because of this, he's not too well-liked for his "accepting" ways amongst the more Alliance-populated towns.

## Quirks

-While a Worgen, Andrew is strangely a cat person.

-He seems to have a great distaste for Stromgardians, finding their pride, rampant racism, and violent tempers to be a hindrance to the ideal of peace.

Deathknell

**Deathknell**, so named for the custom of tolling the church bells at the passing of a person of a the town, is a ruined village over which Sylvanas Windrunner has claimed hegemony for the Forsaken. Sylvanas's Val'kyr companions alongside her Deathguard administrate the ruins, as it is the site where a great many corpses are dredged from the dirt to become the backbone of the Forsaken legions.

 File:WoWScrnShot 043015 150917.jpg
The Cult of the Forgotten Shadow has taken the Church of the Holy Light in the village, where it trains its former priests in the Dark Arts and administers the indoctrination of the newly reanimated residents. When the priests of the Cult are made aware of a new soul brought into the blessing - or the curse - of undeath, they rush to toll the bells in mockery of the old tradition of the death knell.

## History

Deathknell was not always the center of undeath. The settlement was once called Vandermar Village.

Arryc Ashvale II

**Arryc David James Ashvale**, styled *"Lord Westbank"* *(See Viscount of Westbank)* or *"West"* in reference to his courtesy title is the infant son of Arryc, Lord Blackwood and his first wife, Lady Muriah Anne De Lavu. Born on August 19th, 624 K.C. at Castle Blackfyre in Duskwood, the healthy infant is heir apparent to the Earldom of Blackwood and resides with his father at Castle Blackfyre. Lord Westbank is reported to have his mother's eyes.
Account of the Redstone Offensive

The following is an account of the Redstone Offensive by General Borek Ironholde of the Dwarven Vanguard.

*April 10, 30 L.C.*

*I have determined to record the history of this regiment. Someone must and since I am unable to join my brothers and sisters on the front, I can at the least record their trials. The Vanguard is in dire straits, our once proud legions crushed in the mountains of Alterac.*

*It was over a month ago when I led the forces of the Redstone Offensive into that accursed valley. As we passed beyond Dun Baldar, a blood elven sorceress sprung their trap. She brought down a mountain of ice and snow upon our lines, crushing our warriors and cutting us off from our allies. As we struggled to free ourselves from the snow, the Horde descended upon us. It was a massacre that few of us escaped. I am still not recovered from the wounds I received that day and had to be transported back to Ironforge comatose.*

*With the Vanguard decimated, the Redstone Offensive collapsed and our reputation withered. I have spent these last few weeks in despair, but in greatest darkness comes the brightest Light. The priests tell me that my injuries will heal in time, and new recruits have come to bolster the Vanguard's ranks. As I sit here writing, our noble Thane Thanror rallies warriors to our banner and battles for the security of Khaz Modan and the glory of the Alliance. I feel that this battered Vanguard is on the verge of a rebirth and that our storied unit will play a part in the many great battles to come.*
*King Magni watch over us.*

 **Religion**
 **Status**

**Caledra Val'cari**was a Quel'dorei priestess of the Cult of Belore and daughter of Tarso Valcari and Celriel Sunwhisper whose charitable work was conducted in Quel'Athillien. She ran away from home in 622 K.C. after a very intense argument with her father and is presumed dead by her family.

## Appearance

Caledra was said to be extremely beautiful. She had fair skin and long blonde hair with a slender body, taking after her mother.
Cinthia Blackfyre

**Place of Birth**
 **Titles**
 **Affiliations**

 **Family**
 **Status**

**Cinthia Blackfyre** was the eldest daughter of Damon Blackfyre, 7th Earl of Blackwood. After an outstanding career in Stormwind's Navy, Cinthia comandeered the HMS Maiden's Fancy and turned to piracy. She is known to have had ties to the Defias Brotherhood, and rumored to have been one of Edwin VanCleef's lovers.

## Description

Taller than most women and no less rugged than some men, Cinthia defied every common notion of what the daughter of a nobleman should be. Deep brown eyes and a long, flowing mane of curly, raven hair were among her most memorable features. Well-endowed, she favored exquisite leather corsets that accentuated her ample bosom, and distracted onlookers from her cutlass, and the pair of flintlock pistols tucked into her belt. Known to wear the colors of her mother's house, Cinthia was often seen in varying shades of green.
Brotherhood of the Light

*"What is the Brotherhood of the Light? Well...We are all members of the Argent Crusade at the core - members of the Argent Crusade that aren't held in check by morals, guilt and useless human emotion."*- Korfax

The Brotherhood of the Light is a subsection of the Argent Dawn's and later Argent Crusade's ranks. Commander Eligor Dawnbringer is a member, as is a warrior named Korfax. Eligor Dawnbringer manages to keep relations between the Argent Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade from growing violent. The Brotherhood of the Light is a compromise between the Argent Dawn's more scholarly approach to fighting the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade's fanaticism. Talking to several members of this group reveals that they have a clearly different code of ethics and morals than their brethren of the Argent Dawn — while maintaining an objective view which the Scarlet Crusade loses with their zealotry. The Brotherhood of the Light's representatives can be found and addressed in Light's Hope Chapel.

In recent times, following the War against the Lich King, the Brotherhood has grown distant to the Crusade, though is still considered a subfaction within the Crusade. The Brotherhood currently focuses on removing the Scarlet Crusade's presence from Tyr's Hand and reclaiming the city of Stratholme.

It is presumed that Eligor Dawnbringer is the current leader of the Brotherhood.

Durnholde Keep

File:Durnholde Video   File:DurnholdeBuilt.png
**Durnholde Keep** is a ruined stronghold located east of the town of Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad Foothills.

## History

 After the Second War, Durnholde served as one of many internment camps where orcish prisoners were kept. Durnholde would be where the future warchief of the Horde, Thrall, would be contained and trained as a gladiator, later breaking free. The fortress was initially ruled by Lieutenant General Aedelas Blackmoore, a self-absorbed drunkard who had used Thrall for personal gain. After Thrall killed Blackmoore in combat, the internment camp system was nullified, with Durnholde being destroyed.

## Inhabitants

Formerly inhabited by the Syndicate of Alterac, Durnholde Keep is now occupied by Arathorian and Alteraci forces.
Bjorn Stromvyr II

**Affiliations**
 **Status**

**Bjorn Stromvyr** **II** is the only son of Commander Bjorn Stromvyr and his late wife. Born in the Arathi Highlands, on the family estate just East of Stromgarde City, he made the journey to Stormwind with his father in the aftermath of the March on the Highlands. At the age of seventeen, he enlisted in the Stormwind Army in the hopes of gaining Stormwind citizenship and pursuing a career as an officer like his father. Having just returned from his first tour in Draenor against the Iron Horde, Bjorn presently resides with his cousin Erzsibet, the Countess of Myrewood. He quickly rose to the rank of Corporal after demonstrating exceptional bravery on the field of battle.
Barony of the Oak

The **Barony of the Oak** is a barony ruled by the House of Lockewood in the southern regions of the Reach. Formerly a Viscounty, it was demoted to a Barony. It is home to the town of Oakwood, which once served as their seat, and the town of Cedarfall, which is geared to replace the now irreparably damaged Oakwood.
Azeroth (Continent)

File:Azeroth4.jpg
The continent most known for which the Kingdom of Stormwind holds its domain is known as **Azeroth**, which is often confused with the name of the planet Azeroth. The ancient Arathorian Empire coined the name for the land, and it was taken up by Stormwind in its progenitor, the Kingdom of Azeroth.

While majorly controlled by the Kingdom of Stormwind, Azeroth becomes more contested the farther one travels from Stormwind City. Forest trolls from the ancient Gurubashi Empire control most of Stranglethorn Vale, the Blackrock Clan of orcs controls much of the Burning Steppes, and the Grand Alliance and New Horde are in open war over the Swamp of Sorrows and the Blasted Lands.
Ballista

The **ballista** (pl. ballistae) is one of the oldest siege weapon designs remaining in common use in Azeroth. A mainstay of human artillery, they operate on the same principles as a massive crossbow, utilizing the energy of elastic wood under tension to propel a large projectile at speed for significant distances. While light ballistae have largely been replaced by more flexible gunpowder-based weapons, the heavy ballistae of Stormwind's army remain in use today as a counter-measure for the Horde's larger members and allies: Tauren and Ogres. Ballistae crews are instructed to target such large enemies over other targets, barring enemy aircraft and Kodos, while leaving the more numerous Orcs and Trolls for lighter weaponry. Such massive weapons - often with spans of over twelve feet - are reliant on ironwood from Northeron to withstand the stresses of firing.

A similar, though distinct, weapon among the allies of humanity is the Elven Springald.

Edward Sutton I

**Edward Sutton I** became the first Duke of Newcastle in 342 K.C. He spent much of his life at the beautiful Castle Sutton estate in Newcastle County, and held the title until his death in 357 K.C. His long military career earned him many honors, but like many of his ancestors, he too was eventually slain in combat.
Edward Sutton II

**Edward Sutton II** was the 2nd Duke of Newcastle, and eldest son of Edward I. He held the title from the year 357 K.C. until his death at the age of eighty-four in the year 400 K.C. Edward was one of the few men of his line that achieved old age. At the time of his death Edward had six children, nine grand children, and two great grand children.
Chakari Valley

The Chakari Valley is the home to the Skullfang Tribe and is named after Chakari the Pariah. For centuries has the mountains of the valley isolated the three tribes of the valley after the Gurubashi Civil War. While it was not harmed during the Sundering, there was flooding in the southern regions during the Cataclysm.
Earl of Whitecrown

**File:Maclear.gif** **Earl of Whitecrown** is a hereditary title in the Stromgarde Peerage, traditionally held by the clan Maclear. Its territorial designation comes from the province of Whitecrown, in the Arathi Highlands. Because James Maclear's only male heir, Duncan took a vow of poverty upon being inducted into the Order of the Silver Hand, upon his death, the title passed to his daughter, Katherine Maclear. Upon Katherine's death, the title passed to her husband, who holds it in trust for their eldest son, Henry Varyc Sutton. Although the title and land entitles Sutton to a seat in the Stromgarde House of Nobles, Henry has never once done so.
Joren's Might

**File:Jorens Might.jpg** **Joren's Might** was forged for Joren Marwyn shortly after he succeded his father as Baron of Stonegarde, the sword measures 56 inches in length and weighs nearly 60 ounces. Despite its impeccable craftsmanship and sturdy design, the sword rarely saw battle during the second war and would later be wielded by both Joren's son, Liam and his daughter, Melysa.

* Copper is often shaped into coins and used as a currency. The most common exchange is one hundred Copper coins for a Silver coin.

* Copper can be mixed with sand, lime and natron and heated to produce Azerothian Blue dye.

* Copper can be smelted with Tin to produce Bronze.

## Locations of High Copper Concentration

* Elwynn Forest
* Dun Morogh
* Mulgore
* Durotar

Alexander Reston

**Place of Birth**
 **Titles**
 **Affiliations**
 **Known Family**
 **Status**

**Alexander Reston VI** is the Bishop of Stonegarde, though he was forced to flee the region during the siege of Stonegarde, when the Alterac Syndicate took the town. His fate is unknown, though it is believed that he boarded a ship to Kul Tiras with many of the upper class who fled during the siege.

## Appearance

Tall, and darker of complexion than many highlanders, his coal-black hair has gone almost entirely grey with age. With green eyes and a charming smile, Alexander would likely be considered a handsome man. Vainglorious beyond measure, he dresses in only the finest robes, and wears an ornate ring of office on his left hand.

## History

Born a commoner, Alexander's father belonged to Stonegarde's wealthy, upper-class, affording him the very finest in education. He entered the priesthood at the tender age of 17, and was ordained by the time he reached the age of 21. At the age of 46, he was consecrated Bishop of Stonegarde.

## Personality

Highly intelligent, and shrewd in the ways of politics, Alexander was able to rise quickly within the ranks of the clergy. Unlike his brothers in Alden's Rise, Alexander would swear no vow of poverty, and though he claims to be chaste, he is known to have had a number of mistresses in the past three decades. A man who used his office to become very wealthy, he is often regarded as a coward who fled the city when he should have stood with his flock. Despised by many members of the house of Marwyn, Liam Marwyn is said to have once ordered him arrested, should he ever return to the Arathi Highlands.
Arathorian Legion

(need to rewrite intro)

## Modern Day

Though the Empire crumbled, the standing army of Stromgarde retained the formal title of the Legion. Though much diminished in number and equipment - rarely reaching over ten thousand men in any given century since the Dissolution Period - this force remained a significant part of Arathi culture, together with the Fyrd.

Today, only five Legions remain in service:

### The First Legion

Engaged in combat against the Orcs of Hammerfall and the Witherbark Trolls. Status is unknown.

### The Third Legion

Garrisoned along the Southern Coast, but now engaged in heavy fighting instead with Forsaken on the Western Front.

### The Fourth Legion

Former garrison of Stromgarde, now engaged in attempts to reclaim the city and to drive out the Ogres infesting the Thandol.

### The Fifth Legion

Garrisoning the all-important redoubt of the Refuge Basin, and engaged in combat endeavours in the valleys. Linked with, but not synonymous with, the all-volunteer League of Arathor.

### The Ninth Legion

A blasted and devastated remnant of what once was one of the strongest Legions, assigned to hold Thoradin's Wall in the Third War. They were dealt a crippling blow in the Great Cataclysm of 623, having been pushed off the wall and slaughtered wholesale.

## Legion Forts, Past and Present

The Arathorian Legion is one of the most prolific building forces in human history. The jewel of their crown as architects is often seen to be the ancient and often still dominating fortresses built during the Imperial Age and the Dissolution Period. Nearly all Legion forts still stand in one form or another - either as crumbling ruins, intact but abandoned sites, or the origins of provincial and even national capital cities. Their durability is a tribute to the long experience gained in construction by the once premier military force of the Kingdoms and the thorough preparations of each site to weather the sieges not only of the enemy, but of time itself.

Barony of Beau's Tooth

The **Barony of Beau's Tooth** is a more recently upgraded holding within The Bite, formerly a Baronetcy, under the lordship of the House of Delcarn. Home to the Order of the Onyx Knights due to the current lord, Cedrec Delcarn, also acting as their Highlord, the island is extremely fervent in light worship and well defended. From the seat of Light's Hand, the Gilnean chapter of the Silver Hand can be found, training the first truly ordained generation of Gilnean paladins. The island is also home to a small colony of Wildhammer Dwarves within the settlement of Dun Argon, where they mine moonstones for the creation of Moonsteel for the Ashen Coast.
Amalaya An'dorah

Amalaya An'dorah is one of a few Sin'dorei who has discarded their allegiance to Quel'Thalas, and to the Horde, in favor of aiding the Blades of Greymane and the Alliance as a whole. While she was always tentative about allying with the Horde, she followed her people in their quest to find security in this world after the Scourge sacked Quel'Thalas, and after their beloved Prince betrayed them all. She coped with the Orcs, Undead, Trolls and the Tauren on a daily basis and served under two Warchiefs - Thrall and then Garrosh.

When Garrosh destroyed Theramore Isle with an arcane bomb, Amalaya decided that Garrosh, and the Horde, was a faction she would no longer serve. She learned of the Church of Holy Light offering Sin'dorei faithful to the Holy Light a passage to redemption and sought out an old dwarf by the name of Moorwhelp after fleeing from a group of Blood Knights who tried to capture her before she could leave Quel'Thalas once they learned of her plans.

### Repentance

After meeting with Moorwhelp and eluding her former kin on the road, Amalaya agreed to serve a form of penance by tending to the graves of those who died in the destruction of Theramore. She dutifully managed and maintained each individual grave for the course of three weeks until she was sent for by Moorwhelp and formally re-instated within the Alliance through the Church of Holy Light.

### Joining the Blades

Shortly after she rejoined the Alliance and the Church of Holy Light, she encountered Berenal Grayblade of Gilneas during one of his routine recruitment drives in the Cathedral District of Stormwind. The Gilneans had lost their home to the Catacylsm, the Forsaken and waged a lost war with the worgen curse. Seeing as how she was able to relate to the Gilnean peoples predicaments, Amalaya tentatively inquired after the Gilnean commander before speaking with him and offering her healing abilities and her loyalty to the Blades of Greymane.

Amalaya's last known activities alongside the Blades of Greymane were within the Blightlands. She served across multiple battlefields under Berenal Grayblade's leadership but never managed to managed to finish an entire military campaign before she'd wind up disappearing again.
Barony of Faulkenburg

**Overlord**
 **Ruling Seat**
 **Resources**

The **Barony of Faulkenburg** is a newly rebuilt landholding within the Kingdom of Stormwind ruled over by the scions of the House of Manstein. Located in the mountainous region between Elwynn Forest and Redridge, Faulkenburg was destroyed during the First War and left to ruin in the subsequent years after the reclamation of Stormwind. Recently, however, the barony was rebuilt by order of its ruler, Baron Erich Gottfried Manstein and now stands as the ducal seat of the newly constituted Duchy of Eastburg.

## History

Before the First War the barony was primarily composed of the mountainous land to the east of Stormwind City and just north of what is now known as Stone Cairn Lake. The mountainous territory, although small, contained several productive gold and silver mines, a fact which brought great wealth to the Barons of the House of Manstein who ruled over the tiny silver of a fiefdom in the years before the First War.

 File:Faulkenburg.jpg  With the razing of Stormwind by the orcs during the First War the barony was abandoned by its owners. The lucrative gold and silver mines of the land were taken over by the orcs of the new Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer's Horde, their wealth used to fuel the construction of the great Horde armada that would later invade Lordaeron during the Second War.

At the conclusion of the Second War, the surviving members of the House of Manstein returned to find their ancestral lands utterly destroyed. The mines had been picked clean of all their precious ore, the dangerous and rocky mountain paths had been left untended, and the great family manor nothing more but smoldering embers. With few heirs, no serfs, and the land's only commodity depleted, the land has been all but abandoned, only its title is still alive under the head of the House of Manstein.

It would not be until August 3, 623 K.C. that it was revealed to the general public that the ruler of Faulkenburg announced that previously undiscovered silver veins existed deep within the long thought exhausted mines and that the Baron had been secretly rebuilding the territory over the course of several years. Much speculation surrounding just how the land was able to be rebuilt so quickly and with what monies initially surrounded the announcement but were soon suppressed.
Cobalt

File:Cobalt.jpg
**Cobalt** is a metal found primarily in Northrend.

## Locations

Most large deposits of Cobalt can be found along the coast of Northrend, though other deposits have been found in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. The dwarves of Khaz Modan regularly mine it from the depths of the earth, exporting it throughout the lands of the Grand Alliance.

## Uses

While difficult to work with as a metal, Cobalt is widely valued for its properties.

* Its blue coloring is used in stained glass and blue paints throughout Azeroth - primarily in the Kingdom of Stormwind.

* Cobalt has magnetic properties, prized by engineers of Gnomeregan and the Goblin Cartels.

* Difficult to forge as a metal, only the dwarves have been able to design armor from Cobalt. Cobalt Plate is the primary style of armor crafted from the metal, known for its geometric ridges.
Ashewyn Perengarde

File:Ashewyn.jpg
**Ashewyn Perengarde** is the last descendant of a long line of loyal knighted soldiers that have lived and died defending the tiny town of Strahnbrad in old Lordaeron. Though she is a knighted paladin and a decorated member of the Argent Crusade, her heart lies with the tiny, Syndicate overrun town nestled in the foot of the Alterac Mountains. It is her deepest desire to see it restored to its former beauty.

Now that the Crusade is all but defunct with the destruction of the Lich King and his undead servants, she lends her shield and blade to any soul that calls for her aid. This has given her a somewhat odd position between the battling Alliance and Horde, as she refuses to fight for either side. Many a scornful warrior or past comrade have identified her as a traitor because of her lack of loyalty; in reality, she has grown tired of the wounded pride of both men and orcs and will not fight Varian Wrynn's hopeless war.

Her considerable achievements and feats of strength during her time with the Argent Crusade have earned her the title of *Lightwarden*. It does not mean much to those who are unaffiliated with the organization, but she bears it with pride and as a mark of her service in the name of the Light. Whether it is through prayer or battle, Ashewyn sees to it that appropriate justice has been meted out by her hand. Above all else, her honor and devotion to the common folk and their plights are her most valuable qualities.

## Appearance

Ashewyn is a young woman in her late twenties whose straight backed and no nonsense stance echoes years spent on the battlefield. Solidly built and short in stature, her strength is often underestimated because she stands a full head below the average man. Her face possesses the natural and subtle loveliness of a lower caste peasant girl rather than the otherworldly beauty of a woman of a higher pedigree. Her pale skin is marred only by light freckles that trail across the bridge of her upturned nose and cheeks, and her lips are a soft pink and often smiling. Her eyes are a warm shade of brown. Her hair is kept in a short, layered bob and is a light russet red.

The armor that Ashewyn wears into battle is a plate set of burnished gold and truesilver. Though beautiful, the chipped and fading filigree and scuffed up surface have seen better days and badly require the dutiful attentions of an experienced blacksmith. The silver and gold of the Argent Crusade is proudly displayed across her breast in the form of a fluttering tabard and her travelworn black cape's embroidery. A heavy golden maul is usually strapped between her shoulders or coming down at her unlucky opponent's head.

If ever caught out of her armor, one would find that her wardrobe consists of a variety of plain, long gowns tight about the bust and waist and loose around her generous hips. Her favorite one is dark blue. The fabric is soft, but is hardly anything silken like a more refined Lady would wear.
