 **Beliefs**

The Diocese of Shadowtalon is a district encompassing the entire region of the March of Shadowtalon.

## History

The Diocese of Shadowtalon while having a range over the entire March of Shadowtalon has never had much a presence within the lands politics nor politics in Stormwind in the recent years. This has change with the recent elevation of Kyright Williams to Bishop which has been seen as a shock to many in the land given his frequent critiques of the Church.

## Religious beliefs and contention

### Religious Beliefs

Many believe in the Church of the Holy Light, but many including several leaders of the ruling Houses find themselves embracing the Shadow over the Light. This has yet to seemingly create any friction between the Bishop and the ruling Houses.

## Settlements

### Shadowtalon Hold

The area surrounding Shadowtalon Hold has little to offer except in the way of lumber harvesting, something that has become a main export for the region given the denseness of the woods. While the lands no longer support conventional farming except under exceptional efforts or magical aid the forests are teeming with wild game if one can manage to avoid the beasts that would hunt them in turn from the shadows, those that have evaded both the 177th and the Night's Watch thus far.

### Newhaven

Newhaven is a settlement at the far southeastern fringes of Shadowtalon Hold, nestled against the Redridge Mountain Range. From their mines the people of Newhaven produce armor, horseshoes, smithing supplies, and specialized horse armor. They export much of the iron they mine, and some fish from the nearby marshes.

### Thornhill

The Barony of Thornhill is a holding that makes up the northeastern tracts of Shadowtalon Hold. It is ruled by Baroness Acasia Ravenwing. The barony exports weaponry, fine metal goods and gemstones.

### Ravenvalley

The Viscounty of Ravenvally is a large subdivision of the March of Shadowtalon Hold. Ruled over by Lord Alexander Marogos, Ravenvally is known to produce grain and lumber for the rest of the March. It is also prized for its training of messenger birds.

### Blackmarsh

A small town east of Shadowtalon Hold, the residence of the town have a strong, close working relationship with the 177th much like the bond shared between the soldiers garrisoned there and the people of Darkshire. While farming in the region isn't entirely impossible the people have taken to importing feed for the various animals they both stable and raise, their main export being some of the sturdiest horses the realm has to offer, fish, leather, wool, milk and various types of cheeses.

	+ House Hudson

 **Status**
 **Immediate Relatives**

**Benedict Hudson**, the ‘Prince of Bridgeport’, is singularly responsible for the recent and aggressive changes of House Hudson. It was Benedict who ordered the construction of Hudson Landing, the buildup of troops, the trade sanctions on House Thorne, and fortification of Bridgeport Keep. He has vocally and repeatedly stated that House Thorne will soon regret the many transgressions issued against House Hudson. Many expected when his father fell ill that Benedict would force the Count to abdicate his seat. Instead, Benedict Hudson took the opportunity to solidify his position and reputation before he was named the Count of Whitecliffe.

Benedict Hudson is a man in his late thirties, sporting a clean shaven and round face, piercing dark eyes, and black hair. He styles himself in modern fashions, walks with confident gait, and speaks with a firm and commanding voice. Educated in Stormwind and having served in the Royal Navy at the rank of Captain, Benedict is no stranger to war or strategy.

Alliance of Lordaeron
 **Status**

**Edwin Jolley**, Baron of Rivenland, is a fat and pleasant fellow. Rosy cheeked and red of hair, he often sports a wide grin and seems delighted with nearly everything he sees. So much so, that the rare frown he shows is always cause for serious concern. Edwin Jolley himself is fairly unusual in that he often speaks directly with his people, preferring to hear their own words rather than that of his advisors. It is helpful that his people tend to love him as he loves them, and so this habit remains relatively safe. While once a respected fighter, Edwin’s drinking and feasting alongside the populace have left him bloated and lazily satisfied.
County of Sorrows End

Mudcrest

The County of Sorrows End is in the southern county bordering the mountains that separate the Swamp of Sorrows and the Blasted Lands within the Duchy of Dalhurst. Ruled by Count Jerard DeSirrus, this region is most notably known for its trade hub of Porthcrawl.

## Porthcrawl

Porthcrawl is the capital of the County of Sorrows End. Ruled by Count Jerard DeSirrus, the port city quickly took advantage of the deep waters off the coast of the land providing a much needed large scale trade hub for imports and exports out of the Duchy of Dalhurst. A recent partnership with The Blackwater Corporation has been seen as a boom for the county and duchy as a whole. With a number of large docks as well as off port flats for anchoring, this location is set to grow with future partnerships with other trade and merchant organizations.

### Midglen

The city of Midglen is settled in the middle of the southern border of the Duchy of Dalhurst. With limited natural resources in
the area, the barony has struggled to find a foothold for some time. The land as split between some drylands, but mostly wetlands making large scale farming limited. However, some farming is done, mostly to offset the cost of importing feed for the new mule breeding program brought to the area. Mules being hardy creatures do well in the swampy lands along with most other terrain types making them a perfect resource both within the dutchy and export trade. This barony is also
responsible for maintaining and providing the manpower to support DeSirrus Tower.

### Mudcrest

The village Mudcrest is in the most southeastern point
of the Swamp of Sorrows and the County of Sorrows End. The smallest barony within the Duchy, it has been prone to flooding due to its almost sea level
elevation. Far removed from almost any other settlement in the region, help was
slow to come when the floods arrived or attacks from the nearby bog beasts or murlocs. With the main road being built from Porthcrawl, the little village now stands a chance under the right leadership. In the meantime, Mudcrest resources include
fishing, clam harvesting, and more recently, under the guidance of Count DeSirrus, the production of salt taking advantage of the ocean water and low elevation.

Erron Bohannon

 **Born**
 **Hobbies**
* Drinking beer
* Working on his motorcycle
 **House**
 **Holdings**
 **Relatives**
* Gerald Bohannon (Deceased, Father)
* Rebecka Bohannon (Deceased, Mother)

Erron Bohannon is the current boss of the Empyrean Trading Company, and the former City Councilor to the Parks and Harbor District of Stormwind City. At one point, Erron was a scout within the Stormwind Military, but has since been honorably discharged.

## Personality

Erron's personality is pretty simple. He's a kindhearted, yet mildly hotheaded individual that holds a heavy disdain toward those of the upper class due to his upbringing in Westfall. Besides his known hatred for the nobility, Erron's very anti-violent, unwilling to fight others unless his own life, or the life of an innocent is in true danger.

## Biography

Erron Bohannon was born on February 15th, 614 K.Y. to two farmers living in Westfall, just outside of Moon Brook. His childhood was relatively normal, learning how to live on a farm from a young age brought Erron many skills he'd use later in life to simply survive.

After taking on debt from the Defias Brotherhood to fuel his gambling addictions, Erron's father was unable to pay back his debt, and as a result, lost his childhood home, and his parents in a fire caused by the Defias, fueling a hatred for the organization that sent Erron himself on the current path he's on today.

Living alone and without a home for years as a teenager, Erron's desperation eventually grew to the point that he lied to enlist with the military at sixteen years old, eventually being deployed as a scout and serving in the military for two years before he was discharged.

Once he made it to the city of Stormwind, he took on various odd jobs until finally deciding to take matters into his own hands, forming the Empyrean Trading Company to begin his life as a businessman. After several successful deals made, and a continual flow of business since the end of the Fourth War, Erron has grown wealthy enough to support his business, as well as himself.

Seeing the clear and rampant corruption within the government of Stormwind, Erron ran for a seat in the city council on a clear anti-nobility, anti-corruption, and anti-establishment ticket. Without a clear competitor, Erron won his seat and continued that fiery brand of politics he was familiar with. Eventually seeing the City Council as useless, he tendered his resignation, and sought out to continue his business.

## Titles & Monikers

### City Councilor for the Parks and Harbor

County of Hailshire

The County of Hailshire lies deep within duskwood's forests. Until the death of Jacob Ashton, the place had been considered destitute and incapable of flourishing. The man had all but given up trying to make the place hospitable, and had only managed to keep it afloat through sheer stubbornness and an unwillingness to let go of the lands.

That was probably for the best because when the man did pass on, the lands fell to his Neice, Ash Hailbreeze, a Thornspeaker from Drustvar. As soon as she arrived the woman actually began to fix the many issues that plagued Ashton Hold, and shortly set about to giving life back to a land that was thought to be full of nothing but death. After renaming the county and rebuilding many of it's holdings, Ash found herself quite comfortable in the area.

Although there are some places that still need restructuring and rebuilding(Fogston being notoriously difficult to deal with), Hailshire is slowly but surely coming around. It's current main exports are lumber and ores found in The Twilight Mines, importing food that can not be found to grow naturally in the area.

Gregor never knew who his father was but his mother said that he was a nobleman and would one day come and scoop them up from their little shack.

That day did eventually come, when Lord Darius Highpride came and brought Darius to his estate, but only after his mother fell very sick and eventually died of this illness. At his fathers estate he was raised almost as one of Lord Darius's true born children. He was taught how to read and write, how to wield a sword and shield, shoot a bow and arrow, he was even taught how to use a rifle.

Filenze Grayhame

**Nation**
 **Born**
 **Titles**
 **Beliefs**

Filenze is an elder priest hailing from the outer edges of the Kingdom, the Blasted Lands. Representing his specific diocese of Baneshire, he has a particular fervor in his singular eye birthed from years of hardship.

## Personality & Beliefs

Each has their own opinion as to whether Filenze is a senile man or a fundamentalist champion of the Light. In casual conversation to the common man, he is kind, perhaps a little oafish in practicalities, but nevertheless provides a source of wisdom and guidance like a true couselor.

Yet, when matters demand a stronger will, or when passions overtake him, he becomes an entirely different person. His gentle kindness is shed, and what is left is loud-mouthed beacon to proselytize his decrees. When he is like this, he cares not for who he offends or insults, for the truth is paramount to him at all costs.

Bordering on the extreme is his faith in the Light. Whether they truly are his views or he is the product of his environment, Bishop Grayhame is noticeably opposed to the ways of the new world. He loathes the likes of Void Elves and Death Knights, considers the Horde the eternal enemies of humanity, and staunchly opposes egalitarianism in favor of the Crown.

## Description

Filenze is an elder man, obviously, of a thin build such that he often has trouble going up and down large flights of stairs. When in Stormwind, he is garbed in gilded silks befitting of any Bishop, but have a light coating of dust as though they had not been touched for many, many years. They appear fairly ill-fitting, and he looks relatively uncomfortable in them- then again, he appears at least slightly uncomfortable everywhere in the city.

His face is warped and faded from the passage of time. Heavy coats of silver hair cover his face. Notably, his single glass eye fills in his right socket.

## Biography

Born to a cleric of Baneshire and the town's huntsman, Filenze always had a ticket to a Church education. Raised among his village's elite, he was trained in not only the scholarly pursuits and the wisdom of the ages, but leadership and economics, on the belief that he would aid in administrating Baneshire.

He shone even in his early years, however, as a man of both incredible wit and unstoppable passion. Devout even by the standards of his fellow clerics, his path to Bishophood was fairly obvious, as the years passed and he climbed the ranks. After countless healings and curings, and innumerable exorcisms, when the late Bishop Alorka passed away, he was elected without any opposition.

For ten years has he managed Baneshire, ruling firmly but fairly. As the chief representative, he has the greatest understanding of the outside world, and thus is not shocked to know that the likes of Worgen and Draenei are now members of the Alliance. Yet, darker times yet have come over his town, and he has made his way to the Capital for aid.

### Awarded for

Excellent, decisive leadership of military personnel in line with the values of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

## Order of Precedence

### Next Lower

Royal Red Cross

The Distinguished Leadership Cross is a Stormwind Military medal awarded to soldiers who display an extraordinary amount of leadership ability in the field. This leadership often is displayed in very challenging situations in the face of great danger or hardship. Such leaders must have directed those subordinates to them to act within the values of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Lower ranking soldiers who acquire this medal typically displayed great leadership capabilities when taking the reins in the occasion of a void in leadership. These occur in the field when units are separated from their battle groups, and the chain of command is broken, requiring independent decision making. While this is expected of lower ranking officers and noncommissioned officers, the medal is awarded when such leadership extends for long periods of time, wherein they exceed the expectations of their commission, or lead their unit to great success. As well this medal can find itself being awarded to lower ranking leaders who advise their commanders and aid them in making the decisions said leaders otherwise would not have thought of themself, of which is needed for greater success.

Higher ranking officers and generals earn this medal typically in an easier fashion if they hadn’t already earned it for another deed in their career. Granted for having led their soldiers in battle with honor, and finding the forces of Stormwind success. Granted for winning major battles that aid in turning the tides of conflicts and wars.

House Ambrose

**Heir**
 **Seat**
 **Lands**
 **Overlords**
 **Founder**

**House Ambrose** is a Stormwindian noble house that rules over the Barony of Ashmeadow in Redridge Mountains.

## History

A dynasty of middling sprawl and little fame, House Ambrose has ruled in Ashmeadow since its founding. Many of its members were butchered in the opening onslaught of the First War. After recovering, the House's bloodline waned again during the wars after Stormwind's resettlement. The mantle of head of the dynasty has changed hands alarmingly quick in these past years. Now Lord William Ambrose, just a boy, governs Ashmeadow Barony with the help of his cousin, Grace, who herself is frighteningly young and bereft of close family.

Their traditional seat of power, Ashmeadow Castle, was ruined in the opening of the First War. Attempts have been made at a restoration, but most have been postponed indefinitely due to costs, leaving mostly a patchwork of makeshift repairs.
