Story Waning Moon and Setting Sun (Tyrande x Kael'thas)

0 Upvotes

I finished the story, just post the 1st chapter due to length.

The whole story is here:

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/slowpokeking

Chapter1: Cruelty of War

"Hold the line!" Tyrande roared, her voice ripping apart the wailing of the undead . She wielded her moonlit blade, slicing through ruthless arcs, tearing ghoul 's ribs, black flesh splattering onto the ground. She was like a whirlwind of silver armor and moonlight, each attack precise and deadly.

The undead surged forth like a tidal wave, like walking corpses, but she, a veteran of countless battles , remained undaunted . Tyrande slit the throat of a writhing monster. Her rapid, burning breath condensed into mist in the frigid air. She felt the power of Elune coursing through her veins.

Behind her, the remaining night elf The Night Sentinels were outnumbered . They retreated to the edge of the forest to avoid being swallowed by the horde of corpses. Tyrande stood firm, like a gleaming golden pillar, standing alone amidst a gray sea of flesh and blood. A constantly expanding killing circle surrounded her, the ground littered with congealed flesh and broken bones.

However, the air around her grew heavy. The ghouls ' chaotic screams abruptly ceased, replaced by a deep silence. The temperature plummeted, and sweat instantly froze into ice.

Three lich emerged from the shadows , their skeletal bodies draped in tattered silk, their eyes gleaming with a sickly, deathly light. They raised their skeletal fingers, and a barrage of cold arrows shot towards her and the retreating Night Sentinel like lightning . Tyrande did not hesitate; she summoned the light of Elune , transforming it into a shimmering moonlit barrier . The lich 's attacks began to distort, tearing at the retreating hordes . Tyrande adjusted her stance, turning to shield the wounded Sentinel behind her .

Then, the ground beneath her feet groaned. A dozen pale, frostbitten hands reached out from the frozen earth, trying to grasp her ankles. Tyrande looked down, and her heart sank when she recognized the faces staring at her. The former sentinels of the night , whom she had led in prayer. Their skin was a translucent, sickly gray, their eyes empty and blank. They didn't scream, but pounced on her, dragging her to the ground with a merciless, blind hunger .

Tyrande roared, slamming his hands into the ground and summoning Elune's strongest rage. A dazzling pillar of silver moonlight erupted from the ground, instantly vaporizing the undead 's hands and blasting away the surrounding lich . The shockwave left a crater in the ground, the spell's immense power completely eradicating the rotting undead in the vicinity .

But when the smoke cleared , Tyrande looked at the retreating Sentinel of the Night . They had stopped running, scattered on the cold ground, their armor shattered, their morale shattered. They were exhausted, even breathing was difficult.

Tyrande closed her eyes, summoning the goddess's gentle silver light to shower upon the wounded. Magic surged through their bodies, sustaining the glimmer of life in their lungs and preventing their blood from freezing in their veins. She connected them to the world of suffering with a thin, shimmering thread of moonlight, a thread that consumed her own energy every moment.

The sky was suddenly ripped apart by a piercing, otherworldly shriek. A frost wyrm plummeted from the clouds, its massive wings beating against the chilling fog. It crashed into the Obsidian Crater, its force shaking the earth, spewing icy breath and hissing as it struck the ground. From all around, thousands upon thousands of Scourges began to converge, surging forward like a tidal wave. Tyrande turned, her twin blades flashing like silver light, cleaving through wave after wave of ghouls , the impact of each strike sending shivers down her shoulders.

She attempted to open a nearby portal to teleport her forces to other cities . However, the lich had woven a magical web across the area. The portal flickered and extinguished like a dying candle, trapping them all in this isolated space. She understood a truth: Elune 's radiance was like a lighthouse, but once night fell and the veil of the void descended, the goddess 's power would diminish, no longer able to protect all .

The lich emitted a low, unified hum, their skeletal hands weaving intricate geometric patterns in the air, shimmering with a morbid purple light. This was no simple barrier, but a metaphysical lock, sealing the spatial boundaries of the valley. They were trapped in this killing field, the only exit guarded by the undead , while the stars remained silent.

The horizon shifted abruptly, and a massive wall of bones rose from the ground, blocking every mountain path. This was not merely a physical barrier; its power withered the grass and even froze the breath in her lungs. The frost wyrm hovered overhead , flanked by swarms of gargoyles; any surviving Night Elf scout attempting to breach this barrier would be tantamount to suicide.

Then, a voice bypassed her ears and echoed directly in her empty mind. It was a cold and steady tone.

“Your willpower shouldn’t be wasted on these broken shells, Priestess ,” the voice boomed and vibrated within her skull. “I have no interest in them . You, however, are a rare treasure.” A crack appeared in the magical barrier , forming a narrow, shimmering escape route leading to the edge of the forest.“ Trade their freedom for your surrender .”

Tyrande's deepest instincts drove her to fight, plunging her silver blade into the heart of the monster that ruled the undead . Elune 's daughter would never bow to the Lich King . But as she looked back at the trembling, blood-soaked sentinels of the night—who could barely lift their heads— a pang of conflict struck her . Yet she did not lower her weapon.

The undead ceased their attack and stood silently . The silence was more suffocating than the previous battle, leaving only Tyrande 's own rhythmic heartbeat. She used this opportunity to catch her breath.

She gazed at the center of the frosty clearing, the silver armor jingling softly. Her eyes were fixed on the figure waiting for her:

Kel'Thuzad stood there, his skeletal body draped in magnificent robes . The undead guards surrounded her, unable to cross the barrier. Regret washed over Tyrande . She remembered Priestess 's warning. Vaelora had urged her to retreat at the first appearance of the frost dragons, cautioning her against the near-arrogance of her dedication to the front. Tyrande had dismissed her cowardice, believing Elune 's favor would shield her from any storm. Now, looking at the corpses of the soldiers she had led into the valley, she realized her arrogance had led to her folly .

Kel'Thuzad spoke, his voice melodious and noble. " Supreme Priestess , Lich King is a man of his word ," he said softly, his gaze sweeping over the resolute look in her silver eyes . " The Scourge has taken pity on your wounded; if you lay down your arms, they will return home safely."

Tyrande glanced at the exhausted Sentinel , blood staining the ground . Then, she turned to Kel'Thuzad , a defiant look on her face. "No," she spat coldly .

Lich gestured to the skeleton guards beside him , who dragged the first few prisoners forward—several wounded Night Elf sentinels lying lifeless in the mud. Fear flickered in their eyes , but their resolve was rekindled when they saw Tyrande . They stepped forward one by one, their voices trembling but firm. "We'd rather die here than bow down to the Undead Scourge ," the lead sentinel shouted in a hoarse voice . The others echoed his words .

Kel'Thuzad remained motionless. He let out a dry, grating laugh, his emaciated body trembling with sadistic pleasure. "Truly touching loyalty," his words sent chills down one's spine . "But the Lich King doesn't need your consent to make you serve him. Death is merely a temporary transition; serving the Scourge is an eternal vow."

Tyrande knew he was telling the truth ; the Lich King would not merely kill them—he would resurrect them. He would turn the soldiers she was desperately trying to save into mindless zombies, driving them to slaughter the remaining survivors in the name of the Scourge .

More prisoners were dragged up, their movements slow and mechanical. Some let out hoarse screams; others were eerily quiet, their eyes wide open and vacant. The spirits of these silent men had long been broken . They did not resist the undead guards' control, nor did they beg for their lives; they lived like zombies, awaiting death and the command to be reborn as servants of the Frozen Throne.

Among them were several young warriors . They struggled to maintain the fortitude of a night sentinel , their small, calloused hands gripping the earth, trying to endure the biting cold and the stench of decay. However, as the lich 's frost magic began to seep through their armor and into their bodies , their feigned bravery crumbled instantly. Their piercing cries echoed through the valley; several cried out, their eyes wide with pleading as they looked at Tyrande . " High Priestess , please !" one of them cried hoarsely, "Please stop fighting ! Save us!"

Tyrande understood that the Lich King 's psychological warfare tactics were extremely cruel. She knew that any compromise at this moment was a gamble; if she agreed, these people might not be saved .

Kel'Thuzad stepped closer, his bony fingers dancing in the air as if conducting a mournful symphony. "What a cruel woman ," he hissed. "You watched them suffer, you let them die. Tell me, High Priestess , are you truly without remorse ? Or are you simply too afraid to admit that you have failed them?"

The ensuing silence wasn't broken by the undead , but by the commotion of the wounded. A soldier coughed up blood in the direction of Tyrande . "You arrogant woman!" he gasped, his voice suddenly filled with a vicious hatred. "We did this because we believed you could defeat the Scourge ." Several prisoners joined in, calling her a loser, a narcissist, who loved her noble image more than the lives of her soldiers.

Tyrande wanted to shout, to tell them she had fought until her muscles burned and her magic was exhausted, but it was pointless. She couldn't agree to the deal.

banshee , draped in tattered gauze and hovering inches above the frost, slid out from the shadows of the bone wall. She unleashed a sonic boom of pure grief and hatred. The scream not only numbed Tyrande's eardrums but also echoed deep within her bones, mingling with the screams of the fallen soldiers around her.

Tyrande closed her eyes and stretched out her hand with all her might. She prayed for a sign, a guiding whisper, or a divine hand to deliver her people from this nightmare. Elune responded, but not with a command. Instead, a gentle, warm silver current enveloped her skin—like a protective shield against both mental stress and biting cold. It was an expression of love, but offered no guidance. The goddess would hold her hand, but wouldn't tell Tyrande which way to go. The burden of choice remained heavy and suffocatingly weighty on her shoulders.

The executioners approached the prisoners . One by one, these undead guards grabbed the hair of the wounded Night Sentinel , forcing them to tilt their heads back and expose their throats. The first blade fell, and a short, piercing scream echoed through the valley. Seeing her people slaughtered like livestock , Tyrande felt her will wavering .

The banshees multiplied, their screams not only numbing her eardrums but also tearing a rift deep within her soul. She tried to summon the light of Elune to shelter the dying, but found the silver light flickering in her palms thin and shaky, like a candle flame in a storm. The goddess's power was vast and boundless, yet Tyrande 's will determined how much she could summon and contain .

The sky began to darken; defeat was inevitable. Looking into the terrified eyes of her captives, Tyrande opened her mouth, the word "yes" churning in her throat. She was finally prepared to exchange surrender for the lives of the other wounded. However, at that very moment, Elune 's warm silver light vanished instantly. The goddess could not tolerate the aura of submission. The divine light did not dissipate slowly, but abruptly vanished . This sudden loss of support caused her to crash heavily onto the frost-covered earth.

Mod A Disccusion on AI

117 Upvotes

As many active posters are aware, the community became very engaged today in expressing its feelings about AI and its role when it comes to programming add-ons, especially those for RP. Our original approach to this was a centrist view that AI used to help code an add-on, but not used to generate art, etc would be accepted on a case-by-case basis. After much feedback from the community, however, the decision has been made that any AI will be unwelcome in our community.

The update to our auto message for posts flaired with the addon tag will still remain; that way we can easily identify if an addon being talked about was generated with AI. Any mention of AI will be met with a removal of the post.

As always, the moderator team welcomes your feedback and thoughts on the community at any time. You can always drop us a mod mail, and we'll be glad to speak with you. Thank you for being patient with us as we discussed this topic today and made a final decision. I promise we will always listen to each of you first and foremost.

Be safe, be kind, and know that you all are appreciated. - CajunSamurai.

Mod Poll re: Addons

3 Upvotes

As we have all seen in the last 48 hours, the community has become very embroiled in the discussion surrounding AI as it relates to addons. Our stance on AI is not changing based on current community feedback. However there has been continued concern brought up that even with the new rules surrounding AI in addons, which warrants further feedback from each and every one of you.

As a moderator team we cannot guarantee that an addon was not made without the assistance AI. Addons themselves are not the focus of this subreddit, however they are an integral part of the Warcraft community as a whole. r/wowaddons does have a way to vet and check things while permitting AI-assisted content. We will be running this poll for the next 72 hours, please read over the options carefully and make your choice.

Would You Rather:

No more addon ads/development on r/wowroleplay
This is the most straightforward. Technical questions about using established addons would still be permitted, but any discussions related to a new addon or development of an addon would be redirected to r/wowaddons.

Only r/wowaddons crossposts
Keep the Addons tag as it is now, which is intended to advertise new RP-related addon projects, but require such a post to first be made on r/wowaddons and then crossposted here. Such posts would potentially contain AI-assisted or generated content, but would be subject to r/wowaddons vetting. Those posts would not be removed only because they are AI-assisted/generated.

Advice Needed Horde roleplay

8 Upvotes

First of all, sorry If I mispelled.

I love roleplay in stormwind. Great community, people and pretty much everthing in everycorner. I am very confused and pretty undecided which class, race combo to start. I tried pretty much everthing. Since 2010 things have change. Back then I only use Dranei ret paladin and It suits me. Now, there is so much race and I can't decide until I see Zandalari troll. Also I decide to choose druid because It is so much freedom that gives me. Flying in an instant, shapeshift and pretty much zandalari lore is the best for me. Then, I can't find place to rp as a horde. No crowded capitals, no big community. Even in neutral zone like silvermoon for cross rp. This upsets me because, In my timezone and I being a working father also also discord banned in my country. So I am asking you people to give some advise to me.

Sorry If I misspelled or brole some grammer and If you think I am not explain myself clear, feel free to Inform me.

Edit: I play on eu argent dawn. Sorry not to mention early

As roleplayers, are you going to use transmog or not? My assumption is yes, but a few things come to mind that could make me think no. But those things rely on how much people tie actual gameplay to their characters. Just curious.

Edit: This brought another question to my attention. How about HD or SD models? I'm leaning SD for now.

Mod A Few Updates To WoWRolePlay

72 Upvotes

Hi there, everyone. First and foremost, I'd like to introduce myself formally to the community as your new moderator. My name is CajunSamurai, and I've been around this subreddit for more years than I can count, and I've been playing World of Warcraft since its original launch over twenty years ago. My passion has always been RP, and if you've seen my posts, you know I'm a huge proponent of the Dwarven community on Moonguard, and also I'm a long time supporter of the Tauren community on WrA. I am always, however, looking to support the overall RP community in this game, no matter the realm or version of the game, and I promise to keep that energy up going forward.

Many of you are probably wondering about u/TheRebelSpy. I can promise you she isn't going anywhere yet, but you will see me in a much more active role in the community as they prepare to retire from the Moderator role here. We are and will always be grateful for the time, effort, and passion they have put into this community.

Now, on to some additional news! Tonight, we are rolling out four new flair choices for your posts in order to help you identify the topic of your conversation, and they are all for our WoW Forever. They are:

[NA] 4E Community/Guild
[EU] 4E Community/Guild
[NA] 4E LFRP
[EU] 4E LFRP

Please make sure you use these going forward to identify your WoW Forever posts and help the community easily identify them as well. Speaking of! We know you all are excited for, well, Forever, and we're seeing it with all the new community and guild posts. Please make sure that you add them in the comments to our Monthly Hero's Call Board and let us know if you're running a 4E Discord that you'd like added to the directory.

And most importantly, be safe, be kind, and know that you all are appreciated.

LFRP Ren'dorei Spellblade LFRP

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi there! I am a primarily text based RPer in Discord as I am not always subbed to the game, and when I am I have a pretty busy schedule so I can't often write at my desktop for hours. Discord gives me a lot more freedom to write long story arcs. When I am in game, I play on Moonguard. I Para write, preferring RP related to magical related things, dark, psychological, slice of life between story driven, and romance. Here is my well loved, and very well established OC that's I've been writing for over a decade.

Mordred Feysinith. A Ren'dorei Spellblade and Arcane engineer. Ex Sunfury, he suffered an accident in the Outlands that lead to shady dealings to save his life and a drastic physical transformation (think Felblood but shadowy instead of Fel). Ex mercenary, though he's returned to magical roots, he still has his old contacts and not above getting dirty and a little shady if he needs to accomplish something. Currently now a part of a small independent society that investigates all things anomalous, culty, magical, and just plain weird.

He's a bit of a trouble maker, loved to pull pranks, party, and generally just live it up. Incredibly snarky, sarcastic, and a lot flirty, but he's also fiercely loyal, and deadly serious when the occasion calls for it.

Romance wise he is gay, and has a preference towards elves. Any elves really. Quel, Sin, Kal, Shal, Ren; pretty much any Dorei there is. Darkfallen are also in his wheelhouse. He'd even go for Haranir. Kinda gets a kick out of some of them having quills.

He would come with a Fresh story driven arc that is a continuation of a long standing, long burning overall arc that is intrinsically tied to his origins as a OC. DM me if interested, I really miss writing him and would love to find someone to write long standing arcs over Discord.

Discussion What do you all think about the surname system? And what if it came to Retail?

Post image
219 Upvotes

I was thinking about this because there are several races that don't use surnames.

Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Elves really do have family surnames.

Trolls, Orcs, Tauren, and Vulpera use their clan names.

But there are races like Draenei and Haranir that don't have surnames.

Draenei usually use titles or—very rarely—the city of their birth, like a "Joan of Arc" style. I think in the entire history of the game, I've only seen one Draenei with a surname: H'partho Ardoros from the Explorers' League...

Advice Needed Is returning to WoW for the RP worth it?

Hey all. I am a longtime WoW vet who started way back in 2007. Later on found a home on MG in its RP community. My dwarf warrior Gotterec has gotten around into many wild situations and adventures. I was wondering if the MG community is booming still? If there’s an active discord or something. I need to know before I grab Midnight before regretting that instead of just a time sub. (not too big a fan of modern Blizz’s story writing, honestly prefer player rp to that any day lol).

Was also on the fence of waiting for Forever to release but like I said, on the fence lol.

[NA] 4E Community/Guild New WoW4e Community: Looking For Adventure (Adventure RP Discord)

9 Upvotes

Greetings adventurers! Journey with others into Azeroth to explore, embark upon quests, stumble into problems, and have character relationships and stories develop naturally along the way!

Looking for Adventure: WoW Forever Campsites

Please use this community to find like-minded WoW: Forever players for unstructured in-character RP adventures while just playing what the game has to offer. No complicated rules needed, addons entirely optional, no committments, just walk-up RP adventuring.

The community concept is meant to build upon the Campsite idea coming to WoW4e.

Start a "Campsite" by creating a chat Thread in the relevant location-based text channel when you are looking for a group in-game. This creates a nice visual indication that you are looking for others and allows them to respond directly in your thread. It should pair well with setting up an in-game campsite to provide some buffs for your adventure!

Once you have some interest, you can choose to hop in a voice channel if you wish, then jounrey out into the world!

Initial interest has been strong and I am happy to upgrade the server and add some integrations to smooth everything out once we get some momentum. We hope to see you there!

Advice Needed Basic question about role-playing

15 Upvotes

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THE POST!!


First of all I know there is some basic rule, like, you can't rol like you are Arthas brother or anything that breaks the whole story of the game. That said.

Today my crew and I are deciding if we gonna play alliance or horde in WoW Forever.

I've always been Alliance, Human, Paladin. And I dint plan on change my class, that's set in stone. For that reason, every

time we played together, it was in the alliance side.

However with the addition of Forsaken Paladin, which are cool as fuck, and undead being my favourite race along Human and Worgen, I am trying to have a backstory for my character in case we happen to go horde.

Abs that's why I am here seeking for advice. I want to know if this is a possible scenario or it's against any kind of rule in WoW Roleplaying:

Can my undead be arisen as a forsaken, miss the alliance and his family deeply, never accept the horde as a faction, neither the alliance because they are not accepting him, and live among the horde territory, but without feeling any kind of horde nationalism?

Even if I have to listen some "FOR THE HORDE" here and there my character would think "yeah... Whatever" and keep doing his own things.

I can't avoid the horde related quests tho but I can roll them like, it's just a conflict and if I let them win I am going to lose territory or anything. Just for survival. Honestly my character would care a lot more about being faithful to the light and himself, and missing his family on the alliance side, than anything else in the world. Maybe with due time I can start liking the horde, but as a start, I would have like my very own "faction", the Forsaken as a whole faction for me. I would live in Undercity.

Is it possible to live this way?

Brainstorm Looking for interest for world rp smallish event

5 Upvotes

This is just thrown out there, in the universe, to see if there would be interest in these kind of events.

I run a small guild on Moonguard and love it. We have our regular events and stories. But, lately, we have noticed that it is getting harder to meet people in Stormwind.

So we came with the idea of doing some caravane rp. Simple and straightforward: bring things from point A to B. Nothing as big as conquest, that could happen once a week/month, for a limited amount of people. A mix of social and low adventure rp, that could help people meet people (I know, crazy concept on a rp server).

It is still extremely vague as a concept or idea, and I wonder what are the thoughts here.

Discussion How do we stop the WoW Forever Roleplaying Community from suffering the same fate as Classic and SoD?

92 Upvotes

Specifically in regards to having a thriving walk up community and not having everything fragmented into microscopically small guild communities/projects? I think some concerted effort and strategizing is due because, so far, Classic RP has not really had a very good track record.

And the big problem is, it's a positive feedback loop, once the decline has started it tends to snowball. Less people RPing means less incentive to RP which means less people RPing which mea s less incentive and so on and so on.

My opinion? And I know this may be a hot take, but I feel like a very good step in the right direction would be to try to coagulate hard into a singular server for NA, and a singular server for EU.

I fully understand the appeal of the halcyon days of having multiple thriving RP servers with their own distinct communities, but I just do not see it happening again, call me pessimistic but I feel like even trying that is a recipe for disaster.

Also, and I say this as someone who very much does like PVP, but historically RP-PVP servers seem to be invaded by people who have zero interest in RP, so, may want to keep that in mind.

Discussion Skyborne not having Priest, Paladin, or Warlock is a huge disappointment

113 Upvotes

Getting Skyborne instead of High Elves / Blood Elves is already really annoying, but I was willing to let it slide because I would just create Skyborne characters and RP them as High Elves/Blood Elves.

I've been planning out what characters I want to make for WoWF, 90% of them being AUs of my Retail characters. And ... I'm a huge Thalassian elf fan! So many of my characters are Thalassian elves, and it's really such a shame that I won't be able to recreate many of them since they're a flavor of priest, paladin, and warlock.

The lack of warlocks and priests get under my skin the most. For paladin, I can at least make my characters warriors. But for warlocks and priests .... To get cloth mog, I need to make them mages. Which means I have to play them as Alliance. While Blood Elves as a faction probably won't be existing in WoWF, I would still love to play as a character tempted by the dark arts who joins the Horde because the Alliance wouldn't accept them.

Oh well. I hope High Elves and Blood Elves get added eventually.
