Summary:

Beginning at 2000, I assembled the Regiment outside of the Garrison and began to drill them on General Conduct. I made it clear to each and every one of them what we do and do not accept as Good Conduct. After that, Knight-Lieutenant Waylon Loucelles performed a uniform inspection. He found the Regiment well equipped.

Afterwards, I took the Regiment to the back of the Garrison and we performed combat training on four Arcane Constructs made to appear as Horde Soldiers. I believe this training was highly successful, both for conduct, and for Combat.

Anna Voyati

**Anna Claire Voyati** is a Priestess of the Church of the Holy Light, vetted Corporal of His Majesty's First Regiment, and aspirant Tyro of the Diocese of Westridge. Though she wields many titles, each tells a peculiar tale about the woman; one of fervent faith, worldly duty, and feudal loyalty. She is an intelligent young firebrand with a blistering bite far beyond her years.

## Description

Though short and slender, Anna's hardly a picture of frailty. Dense, lithesome muscle frames her flowing priest's robes alike her raven waves and curls which billow around her shoulders like an explosion of black smoke. The grandiosity of her hair is truly notable, beggaring the question of just how long a routine it must require to maintain it. Her bright olive eyes and caramel skin form a peculiar contrast to an otherwise average frame when taken with her neat button nose and narrow, angular jaw.

## Personality

Though unerringly Compassionate and frighteningly Tenacious, Anna has always struggled with the Virtue of Respect-- that is, in its most common form. That isn't to say that she derides authority or litters her trash about the world; but when an opinion clashes with hers, by the Light does she ensure hers is known. Perhaps it is a trait bequeathed to her by her father, that paternalistic sense of knowing better, but it has gotten her in trouble a fair few more times than she'd ever admit to anyone.

She shows kindness and warmth more often than not, but it is quite obvious those do not pose any weakness towards who she is.

## Beliefs

Anna's belief in the Holy Light is absolutely paramount above all else. Though zealous, it does not cloud her negatively, but it may make those who do not share that belief as strongly as she does uncomfortable in conversation with her if it is brought up. If her belief is challenged, she will make her opinion known with little care for the opinion of others. That's not to say she doesn't care, but her belief in her faith will not waver and will not be challenged.

## Relationships

### Squire Robin Foy

While a fairly recent arrival in her life, Anna has grown closer with Robin than just about anyone else in the Regiment. A few years her younger, Robin has shown herself to be an exceptional candidate for Paladinhood and thus a stable, unwaveringly loyal companion, making her the perfect foil to the stout, opinionated Priestess in just about every way.

## Trivia

1. Anna adores the rain. She can often be found out enjoying it in the warmer months.
2. Anna is an exceptional singer. She spent much of her life in the Stormwind Choir as a lead singer before military service demanded the majority of her free time.
Eva Germaine

Lady Eva Germaine is the Mayor of Dogwood, a relatively peaceful and simple region previously part of Mirwood. Partitioned from the larger County shortly before the Northrend Campaigns, Dogwood was incorporated into the greater Bailiwick of Westbrook to provide housing for the sudden influx of fresh troops. Lady Germaine was the first Baronet appointed to the position of the new region and oversaw the construction of officer housing and several barracks. Aside from that, Dogwood is a heavily wooded area lacking any significant infrastructure beyond a few small beekeeping villages. White-gold Dogwood honey brings a steady flow of income to the region from the other noble houses in Westridge purchasing the sweet stuff, and allows Lady Germaine to continue maintaining and expanding the troop housing facilities as the various wars drag on.

Lady Eva Germaine is herself a woman of great poise and beauty. Once a quartermaster of the Royal Army, she brought with her a unique understanding of the responsibility her new title would demand. Despite the significant expense of building, Lady Germaine has been able to balance the local budget enough that only small expenditure by the Duke is necessary to pay for the expansion. She remains in good health and shows no signs of relinquishing her position any time soon.
House Courland

The Lords of Hillbrook, House Courland is a martial house with highly assertive and fiercely loyal attitude in the name of Mirwood. House Courland is an exceptionally proud and noble house, even among those in Mirwood. They are responsible for the breeding and training of warsteeds and workhorses that populate Mirwood and Westridge. With idyllic rolling hills and fields, there is certainly plenty of room for this industry in Hillbrook. If Westridge were to send out postcards of life in the Duchy, they would most likely have images of Hillbrook painted on them. Despite the peaceful region, the ruling house of Courland is far from gentle.

House Courland is seated at Woodfort, a massive wood-built fortress just outside Caledon that is both imposing and defensible.

Rules over the Barony of Hillbrook

## Current Status

House Courland also forms the final point of the ‘Mirwood Triumvirate’, serving as the martial arm of the arrangement. House Courland protects the idyllic lifestyles of their Jolley cousins and backs the words of their De Vries lords. While not xenophobic as such, House Courland is largely intolerant of those outside Mirwood and nurse a storied martial history that only proves to them their own superiority. Those of House Courland have a mindset that a man who has not proven himself astride a warsteed in the heat of combat is no man at all. Nobles within House Courland who have not mastered the reins and do not ride in service to the realm at some significant period in their lives are routinely barred from inheritance. Due to this, Courland has a higher than average number of Knights-Errant seeking to prove their worth, but few who have passed the test.

**SUMMARY:**

We received an urgent call for aid from Darkshire and mustered the men immediately. Upon arriving at the town, it was already under severe attack. We intervened, reinforcing the lines and pushing back the enemy.

The enemy appeared to be an undead force. We saw a glimpse of a stronger power, but it retreated after unleashing a particularly heavy magic attack on our ranks. There was also a patchwork creature that we killed, particularly with the help of light.

With the perimeter secured, we helped the fire brigade douse burning structures, and now we are stationed here. SGT Lloria has made arrangements with the mayor to have our command post within the town hall. We shall also set up camp and proceed with further oncoming orders.

**COMMENDATIONS:**

PFC Stansfield displayed extreme proficiency in his craft, annihilating a patchwork abomination in a single blow.

Ardan Coward

Ardan Coward comes from a humble family of peasant farmers from the Westridge village of Montroux, and in all likelihood he would have followed in their footsteps. Fate, however, had different plans, as did Magistrate Vance B. Tyrhault. After Coward's blossoming romance with the magistrate's daughter Lily was discovered, he was promptly enlisted at the magistrate's command, and now he is a soldier of Stormwind's First Regiment.

## Description

The man you see before you is not one his hometown friends would recognize. He was a man who would have been described as plain and simple, with a long face and unkempt brown hair down to his shoulders. However, the military has gotten its claws into him, taking his short, lean peasant build and leaving him clean, sculpted, and strong. He's well-tanned and well-muscled, with deep, cocoa-brown eyes, streaked with gold, and a smile just a tad too confident to be considered properly shy. Though his speech is simple and his tastes are simple, and he just generally seems a good-natured country boy, there is no denying he now walks with a soldier's swagger.

House Thorne

House Thorne, the Lords of Midcost, have been troublesome to House Hudson for generations. Considered an abrasive and unpleasant house to deal with, they nonetheless have a firm footing in the food industry of Westridge, controlling nearly an entire third of Westridge’s whole grain production. Due to this, they have enjoyed relative security simply by nature of what they do. Few houses have been willing to challenge the Thornes and risk even a temporary food shortage and accompanying civil unrest if they were to do so.

Rules over the Barony of Midcost

## History

Comparatively wealthy thanks to owning most of the arable land in Whitecliffe, Thorne often held more influence over not just regional politics, but their own lords in House Hudson. Well armed with a respectable force of levies and funded by the proceeds of grain production that rarely shipped through the roads and ports of Bridgeport, House Thorne often had no need beyond tradition or law to cow to the demands of their local lords. Instead, Thorne has historically forged trade deals and defense agreements with neighboring House Jolley to create a near monopolistic control over the food supply in the Duchy.

## Current Status

Unfortunately for House Thorne, the eventual resurgence of House Hudson has made their choices in loyalty a severe liability. The Lords of Midcost may be wealthy, but they have neither expected nor planned for the sheer threat of a House Hudson that can now afford a legion of rifle-armed troops to enforce their will. Among the courts of the Duchy, it is spoken of in hushed whispers that Hudson will eventually come to force a payment for the repeated insults - and blood will likely be spilled. Perhaps due to this, an unusual number of mercenary outfits have begun renting room and board in large numbers around the Barony, lured by the scent of money and conflict.

House Thorne takes seat at the Roselyn Thorne Mansion of Highgrove, commonly known as the “Rose Manor”, centrally located among the many gardens of the township. A beautiful whitewood built manor with open spaces and a famous rose garden, the Rose Manor is considered a remarkable example of Midcost architecture and is emulated in smaller form by many lesser lords and knights across Westridge.

Following Charlotte's treason to the throne, the new lord of House Thorne is her son, Baron Edmund Thorne.

As of June 26th, 41 LC. Baron Edmund Thorne was assassinated by the treasonous Knights of Thorne, likely under command from his own mother.
A Study on Tenacity

*Tenacity is one of the hardest lessons we learn when we begin studying and applying the Virtues to our lives. It is hard for many reasons and it is also the main reason so many of us fail. It is hard to stand among peers, brothers and sisters in arms, and even fellow knights and feel the weight of failure press down on us when we make mistakes or miss an opportunity. Especially when we lack confidence and harbor too much pride, as so many younger knights do.*

*Tenacity by definition is:  One, the quality or fact of being very determined, determination. Two, the quality or fact of continuing to exist, persistence.*

*We have a very unique goal and way of life as Knights and Servants of the Light. As Knights of the Silver Hand, we are charged with protecting our brothers on the front lines, inspiring and leading our charges into dangerous battles, and being beacons of hope in the darkness of this world. This is a high bar, and many fail to rise to it. That is where the Virtue of Tenacity comes in.*

*As Knights, when we go to battle we fight shield to shield with our charges, and at the same time can mend their wounds and bolster their spirits. Tenacity in that aspect comes easy for us, pushing beyond our preconceived physical limitations to where we act out of nature and instinct instead of our minds. But that is not what I want to discuss today.*

*We are also Servants of the Light. We are here to spread the cause of the Light, which in short, is to make the world better for all by bringing true peace. This is a daunting task and can, more like, will discourage you. Think about it, you as a single Servant Knight have been given the task of changing the world, and your pride tells you to do this on your own, for glory. That is a scary and daunting mission. Even for a veteran.*

*We must push past these feelings. Tenacity is about pushing past your fears by focusing on the light at the end of a dark tunnel. You are the light in that dark tunnel, you are the fire that dispels that shadow. All this is your motivation, it is your goal in life. This world is dark, this world is corrupt and most people in it share these qualities. It is not our mission to change these people or convert them. Our mission is to show them how much better life is without these things. Think about that when the task seems too daunting and you have fear creeping up to shake your resolve. And remember this, while you are only one Servant Knight, you are part of an Order and with that membership comes brothers and sisters to aid you, use them to help center yourself, use them to aid you when you are in need.*

Recruit Dolin Firebeard

Summary:

At 2000 hours the company was assembled to attend a small lecture on the nature of ranged weaponry, specifically archery, and how to use it even if it is not the martial weapon of your choice. Our goals were:

- Learn about the history and use of Shortbows, Longbows, and Crossbows

- The practicality of such weapons in a melee situation

- Practical Examination

After an extensive lecture about the weaponry and its uses I employed the use of Corporal Aurelious and his expertise to give a succinct demonstration on how to hold, draw, and loose the arrows. Afterwards the company engaged in a competition at my direction and creation. After three rounds of fierce competition between novice and master, Corporal Aurelious won the shoot and graciously bestowed the hard won dinner to Private Gizzletink. Next training will be over great weaponry and I have no doubt our soldiers will once again be just as capable.

A special thank you to Lieutenant Potter for encouraging the group and Private Gizzletink for showing no hesitation in using a weapon twice her size.

Summary:

At 2000ish hours the company was assembled to respond to a recon report that the Westfall banditry was attempting to steal munitions while committing armed robbery on the byways of the King's Lands.

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

- Marching Formation

- Don't die.

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

Unfortunately, many of the unfinished problems from before the war in the sands only festered in our absence. Illusory blood remains in Duskwood along with evidence of the fungal infection. The Family appears to be attempting to wipe out the Confederates in Westfall while we found trouble to indicate the Coven has taken over the Confederates themselves.

While crossing the bridge into Redridge we were ambushed via explosives and waylaid by undead abominations carrying the mark of Westfall bandits. This is a troubling update on the current goings on for the gang wars. The stolen munitions and patchwerk style flesh zombies is horrifying to say the least but given the state of things I'm not surprised. I need more intelligence before I'm comfortable requesting a more exploratory force.

Attached is a medical report from Sergeant Sontaur detailing any sustained injuries in the field.

Marshtide Defense

With Stormwind's focus elsewhere, the Atal'ai Trolls of the Swamp of Sorrows launched an all-out offensive against the kingdom's holdings surrounding Marshtide Watch. Together with the forces of the Confederacy of the Lion, the first regiment halted the trolls' advance and brought peace to the swamp once again.
Kingsland

With the Confederacy's defeat during the Pirate King's War, Stormwind quickly turned to reinforce its weakened borderlands so as to prevent future incursions from the south. The first regiment was sent hastily to assist in the construction and defense of a new royal colony known as Kingsland. After enduring horrid conditions, disease, political intrigue, and endless fighting at the hands of trolls, naga, and pirates, Kingsland Colony was secured and hope for the future of this nascent settlement was restored.

Dogwood Territory

Another very small territory tucked against the bulk of Elwynn Forest, Dogwood is little more than a collection of housing for the soldiers of Westbrook. While not exclusively populated by soldiers, most of Dogwood does indeed serve Westbrook in some fashion. The climate is temperate and most of the excess ground cover has been stripped away to make room for structures, leaving only the old great ironwood trees standing.

There is little significant to note in Dogwood beyond rows of nearly identical housing. Families live here in simple, quiet lives. The town of Dogwood includes all the standard amenities. A tavern, forge, armory, market, fountain, town hall. The Mayor’s house, largest of them all, is little larger than the tavern itself. Still, the people of Dogwood want for little, and few things other than the occasional hungry wolf give them pause or threat.

* Marching.
* Leading - the trainees were given the opportunity to train the platoon themselves as I observed and corrected.

I graded their performance tonight loosely:

* Redford - 8 points.
* Greycliff - 7 points.
* Lloria - 10 points.
* Steelfist - 6 points.
* Dawnblade - 12 points.
* Taidar - 8 points.
* Aurelious - 7 points (low due to being absent for the initial portion of the class).

PVT Dawnblade showed exceptional performance tonight, though had a few errors in conduct.

CPL Greycliff showed a repeated problem of falling in incorrectly and was reprimanded.

Unrelated to training, Taidar managed to knock himself out while fixing his bed, and has been assigned to fixing up to two dozen beds every day for the next week.

Upon completion of training, we were informed by LT Clement that our regiment has been tasked with reinforcing the south of potential threats from hozen, regarding the new reports that have come in, and we will be marching tomorrow.

Beora Grunscheld

Lady Beora Grunscheld, otherwise known as the Bear Knight, was named Baroness of Fangwood by Duke Maxen Montclair for her refusal to leave her people in their greatest time of need. Raised as the youngest child and only daughter of a knight, Beora was scorned for her hefty size and gender among the noble elite of Fairpeak. While her early teens were spent cloistered in her father’s home waiting for an arranged marriage, her stubborn and rough personality led her down a different path. At the age of 16 she cornered her father’s squire, beat him to a pulp, and ran away from home wearing his armor. She spent the next twenty years living the life of a hedge-knight, having left her family name and heraldry behind.

Having spent so long serving the people directly, Beora is known among the populace as the ‘Bear Knight’ for the sigil she carved into her shield. She chose the animal for its symbolism of strength, bravery, and protection. During one of her lone assaults on a bandit den, Beora encountered and surrendered to a platoon of 3rd Company. Mistakenly jailed for banditry, she found her efforts repaid when multiple local citizens came to vouch for her honor to the Captain. Released and commended, Beora revealed herself to be the long missing daughter of Sir Olaf Grimwald. Still, she refused to carry the name. When the Duke insisted to know what name she might prefer, Beora only looked at her green shield and answered simply.

Thus, Duke Maxen Montclair legitimized Beora Grunscheld for her lifelong dedication to the highest ideals of knighthood. Now named Baroness of Fangwood, Lady Beora has chosen new heraldry for herself and refuses to acknowledge or continue the disgraced colors of her lineage. She has taken residence at The Bitterhold, a timber-and-stone manor nestled at the edge of the Great Forest. Her new colors of gold and green now hang from those walls, declaring a new Lady of the land.

Beora is a large and imposing woman with long and thick black hair. Nonetheless considered attractive, she prefers to dress as a knight and not as a lady, binding her chest tightly and wearing armor that does not flatter her shape. Not usually one for idle chit-chat, when she does decide to speak it is loud and never leaves any question as to her meaning or intent. She leads House Grunscheld.
Magic In All Its Forms: Nature

Nature

Nature magic is magic derived from the natural world and the Emerald Dream. It’s the magic used by druids primarily, with the Night Elves being the most powerful practitioners of the magic, beyond the Ancients and Gods that reside within the Emerald Dream and the natural world. Virtually all races have shown the capability to harness and use the natural magics of the world, either through shapeshifting, growing crops or commanding the seas. Nature magic can be used in many ways, versatile just as nature itself is versatile.

Shamanistic magics are part of the overarching nature magic tree as the elements are part of the natural world. Most shaman harness these powers by working alongside the elementals and asking for their aid, though they can enslave the elementals and bend them to their will as well. It is rare for a shaman to attempt that as the elements can and will fight back. Most shaman worship the elements and work alongside them, the elements deeming them worthy to use their power, or refusing them if they do not.

The first druid is thought to be Malfurion, taught by the demigod Cenarius. He then taught other night elves and the druidic ways became integral to the culture of the night elves over time. Druids are highly attuned to the natural ebb and flow of nature and can sense disturbances in the natural world. They harness that raw power to protect nature from its enemies and manipulate the natural world.

The powers of those who use Nature magic vary wildly, including shapeshifting, attuning to long dead spirits, teleporting to areas of high natural magic, manipulating wind, rain, and growth of plants. Dealing with practitioners of natural magic can be difficult as they most often will find areas of strong natural magic, increasing their power. The best way to deal with a practitioner of natural magic is to take them to a place where nature is weak or otherwise cut them off from nature. This is obviously not the easiest of tasks however it can be done artificially with Fel, Shadow and Arcane magic, cutting off the powers of nature from them.

Artifacts made of natural magic often are made to preserve the natural balance of the world, or to harness the powers of nature in a specific way in order to amplify a specific aspect of their power for instance. Artifacts of this type are just as versatile and unpredictable as the magic that made them, which often causes problems when the artifact is taken out of its original place and its purpose does not fit where it is taken to.

For instance, a relic meant to maintain the thick, verdant forests in Ashenvale can cause a severe overgrowth in another area such as Elwynn. Other times these artifacts call upon guardians of nature to defend an area, which can become distorted in their purpose if taken to another area, or even over time they can lose their purpose. These guardians can then become aggressive and attack anything and anyone who enters the area.

Disenchanting these artifacts usually simply requires draining the artifact of its natural energies, or simply containing it in a place cut off from nature until its energies are lost.
Mirwood

The County of Mirwood is a temperate forested region comprising most of central and eastern portions of Westridge. Climate in Mirwood is idyllic, with the worst of weather rarely exceeding a thunderstorm or thick snowfall. At its eastern border, Elwynn Forest itself extends into Mirwood thick with lush foliage and old-growth oak. On the western border the milder foothills of the county offer rolling plains that support many crops. With its central location relative to the other regions of Westridge, Mirwood enjoys significant influence simply by dominating most traffic between counties.

The Mirwood Rangers and their sanctuary at Oakhall are located here, as are the rare members of Westridge’ reclusive druidic order. Also within Mirwood can be found the old mage tower, where raw arcane energies crackle with unfathomable power. The Mage Order of Sarceline train here not only for their own benefit, but to harness and temper the latent powers that threaten disaster if left unchecked. It is currently ruled by House De Vries.

With a bulbous nose, beady eyes, and a beard decorated more than his armor is, most speculate that he is part Dwarf though none dare say so to his face. The Baron has a reputation as a talented fighter and rarely shies from any opportunity to personally defend his lands. The Baron Tork is easy to laugh and quick to forgive, a man known for his strength and warmth of personality. Firmus abhors politics, finding them to be a waste of time when one could better serve their lands and ambitions by getting one's hands dirty. He is lord of House Tork
A War Divine

*... [T]he paladin must, in all things, embody the ideals of the society that made them. After all, though it is righteous to care for all of the Light's creatures, one cannot call themselves a knight (and thus, not a paladin) if they cannot allow themselves to be bound to this mortal plane, its mortal laws, its mortal traditions. To be paladin, then, means to exemplify chivalry.*

*In all things, they must be dignified. Too often do I see the Northshire paladins, knighted not long after they first arrived to the abbey, hold their positions in so little regard. They believe that the Light is their strength, and thus they need not do any work! They sit in taverns, sloth about in the streets, waste their time with idle chatter. They're full of contradictions, and lazy ideas. The paladin must inspire! Their place on the battlefield is to be a reassuring beacon for all their soldiers in the heaviest maelstroms of the worst battles!*

*They cannot do this, if they are convinced that they are merely mortal. Though it is not pride in which I write this, it is fact that a paladin does get their power from the Immortal. Thus, they should act like it. Every moment a paladin spends idle is a moment they are weak. When they are not praying, they should be caring for their earthly forms in rest and martial practice. When they are not practicing, they should be devoting the remaining time to their obligations, be it their military ranks, or their positions in the kingdom. Time is a resource given by the Light, and it must be used wisely.*

*If you have idle time, you have done something wrong...*

*- Bishop Constantius the Grim, 'The War Cleric', excerpt from A War Divine volume 1 of 56.*
Laval

The **Barony of Laval** is a holding comprised of a mountain pass which leads from the ducal seat of the Duchy of Westridge into the heartland of the Kingdom of Stormwind. Laval is currently ruled by House Asoldel, which reaps the rewards of taxing travel through the pass.

The Laval Road has always been a tolled route- the cost for security and speed in comparison for many other paths, which are infested with bandits or go around the mountainous ranges for miles. Indeed, Laval itself has a reputation for being one of the most secure regions in the kingdom (though little is said for the nearly-inaccessible mountain ranges around it).

However, as of late the Lord Asoldel has been abusing his monopoly on travel, raising prices incredibly high in comparison to his predecessors. Though this alone is hardly much issue, one most also keep watch for the rumors of Asoldel mercenaries pillaging travelers as they pass, no different than the bandits of old.
House Reignsford

Lords over the County of Fairpeak

**House Reignsford** was a common house, now raised into noble status. Through the grace of Duke Maxen Montclair and Baroness Cassandra Lyon, Thomas Reignsford was given the task of restoring life to a tainted land known as The Withering Wood, partitioning it from the remainder of Sarcelfen, thus creating the Barony of Heartsgrove.

Through the combined efforts of Thomas and Sir Roy Sebale, a Captain in the Regiment and Master Mage of Sarceline, along with support from the soldiers of the First Regiment, a way to end the magical affliction that created the Withering Wood was discovered. Unfortunately, Baroness Cassandra did not live to see the day. In recognition of his own contributions, Sir Roy was to be granted stewardship of the Barony of Sarcelfen. With his vow to restore Heartsgrove fulfilled, Thomas felt it only right to reincorporate the land to its du jure state as part of Sarcelfen. After expressing his thoughts to His Grace, Duke Maxen, it was agreed. In exchange, Duke Maxen elevated Thomas to the status of Count, giving him stewardship over the long neglected County of Fairpeak as well as its unclaimed baronies, Graywatch and Silverhal.

## History

Due to it's relatively young status, there is little significant history beyond that of its progenitor, Thomas Reignsford.

A commoner class family of hunters, leatherworkers, and herbalists, they lived by Stone Cairne Lake for generations prior to the First War. After fleeing to Stormwind City and eventually Lordaeron, the Reignsfords lived in Southshore for a brief time before returning to their homes once the lands had been reclaimed after the Second War. The following years were prosperous for the family and Thomas grew in his father's footsteps, taking up a life of hunting and providing leathers for vendors. Eventually when he came of age, Thomas married a woman named Shana Haggard, built a house of their own next to his parents, and in time had a child.

As world events unfolded, Thomas began to adventure out to new lands to supply various new leathers; Kalimdor, Northrend, even the alien world of the Outlands occasionally. Thomas was on one such trip when the Cataclysm struck. The following invasion of Blackrock Orcs resulted in the lost lives of his parents and his wife. After grieving for sometime, Thomas resolved to do all he could to prevent others from suffering the same loss and joined the King's Army.

Rising in rank and earning accolades for his efforts, Thomas was raised into knighthood and then nobility.

## Current Status

House Reignsford holds little power and influence in the political arena outside of Thomas' natural rustic charm and the respect he's earned for his personal achievements. Their holdings, the County of Fairpeak, had suffered from many years of neglect prior to Thomas' appointment. Militarily, the Reignsfords can raise a force of roughly 100 knights, 285 men-at-arms, and 180 archers.
Magic In All Its Forms: Fel

Fel

Fel magic is the power of the Burning Legion and disorder. Fel magic is corrupted arcane energy and is created through corrupting life energy. Fel magic is the most corruptive form of magic and this self-propagating cycle is what fuels the Burning Legion. It is a pervasive, highly addictive magic that seeks only destruction and dominance over life. Those who use this magic are called warlocks and the demons are creatures made of, or completely corrupted by, Fel.

Fel magic is the most corrupting form of magic and it’s known that some demonic races were not always demons, but rather were corrupted and enslaved by the Burning Legion. The Eredar are the easiest example of this, being a previously uncorrupted race who were tempted and corrupted by the Burning Legion.

The Burning Legion’s battle plan is rather simple and has been seen multiple times. They first send agents to the world they’re targeting to corrupt individuals on that planet. Once this initial corruption has been set in motion those corrupted attempt to open portals to let the Burning Legion onto the world, and let their Fel magic spread uncontested. Unless those initial portals are stopped, the Burning Legion pours through in immense numbers and set to destroying or corrupting everything on the planet.

Those who use Fel command vast amounts of power and have the power to summon and enslave demons. Fighting a Fel practitioner rarely involves just one person. They will often summon as many demons as they can handle, and spread their Fel magic to corrupt their surroundings whether intentionally or simply by proximity. Their magic is pervasive and destructive and must be handled quickly to prevent too much damage. Often times demons will turn on their master if given the chance, so targeting the summoner is the most important part of fighting a warlock. Otherwise, stopping any rituals, destroying runes & altars, and interrupting their spell casting are how one must deal with a warlock.

Artifacts made from Fel practitioners are most often meant to open and sustain portals, or to inflict destruction and corruption on anything around them. Dealing with them often involves using overwhelming force to destroy them and stop them from continuing whatever effect they’re enchanted to provide. Light, Arcane, Nature and Elemental magics can all counteract Fel magic, but if the corruption is too great in the area, other magics have been observed to not have any power. A Fel magic user would then be required.
Mage Trials

## Introduction

The **Mage Trials** are a series of element based logical and magical puzzles devised by Sir Roy Sebale that test the guile, skill, and fortitude of aspiring battlemages and spellswords of the Sarceline Battlemage Academy. Each trial must be overseen by a senior member of the academy. A mage need only take two of these trials to progress to the title of Journeyman, but must undergo and pass all six in order to attain the title of Wizard.

Each trial at face value seems to be a simple task but each has their own caveats and lessons associated with them that are the guiding philosophies of the Mage Circle of Sarceline, these lessons taught through trials and forcing those mages who undergo them to expand their skill set, mindset and their ability to cope with unknown situations.

**Note:** *This page was last updated on 07/04/2021.*

## Trial of Nature

**Task:** Reach the end of a field of flowers. On the other end of the field of flowers is a basin overflowing with magical water that the mage must touch to pass the trial.

Azerite Investigation

As word of the mysterious material known as Azerite reached Stormwind, King Anduin Wrynn sent the first regiment to construct a port on the Western coast of Silithus so that it might serve as a forward base to investigate. The fleet was attacked enroute by an enraged Kraken, forcing the regiment to fight for their very survival in the shadow of Sargeras's blade.

Summary:

At 2000 hours the company was assembled to respond to a recon report that the Westfall banditry was attempting to salvage and scavenge the previous battle site Redridge

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

- Marching Formation

- Don't die.

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

Upon arrival into Redridge PFC Mawi spotted a group of bandits retrieving fallen bodies and weapons. Our group immediately was called to double time pursuit. Thanks to Sergeant Gromley's quick shot one was able to be hobble and immediately captured after being run down by Sir Julian. Of note here is Recruit Krueger managed to stabilize the gun shot wound on the field enabling the prisoner to be transported off site.

PFC Brooks also managed to capture and knock off a bridge a second bandit who was pulled from the drink by Sir Julian. A blank parchment alongside a key was recovered. Both are being investigated by myself in Sarceline.

Three bandits escaped across the bridge into a deep haze in Duskwood, when one was killed it exploded into the same spore substance as seen in the Duskwood action...we are dealing with a severe outbreak here and with the Westfall Confederates traveling through Duskwood...it may spread.

The Inquisitors are still pulling information but for now the bandits keep mentioning hulking shadows in the mists and withering apples lining the path. I worry for Darkshire.
